What does it look like next year? Any incoming recruits break into the lineup? What redshirts make the biggest impact?

125 - Picc
133 - Daton
141 - G/Brock
149 - G/Boo/Manibog
157 - Sheets/Shomers/Balmaceda
165 - Joe
174 - Witlake
184 - Montavalo
197 - Geer
HWT - NEO transfer or D1transfer

Both Witlake and Montavalo are intriguing talent coming off pretty solid RS years. Balmaceda is probably the only true freshman who wil have an opportunity to push for a starting spot at 157.

Witcraft and Maniborg will proved some very solid depth and will be ones to keep an eye on in the future.

HWY will need a transfer and it seems the NEO kid will be coming but a decent D1 transfer might also be in play.

Weigel no longer appears to be a candidate for a 6th year. So the big question remaining is - does Daton take an Olympic redshirt? I say yes, so max points lineup...

125: Picc
133: Kaid (best weight for him)
141: G
149: Boo
157: Sheets
165 Shomers (Wittlake if he can make it)
174: Joe
184: Montalvo
197: Dakota
285: Putnam / Tony Andrade

If Kyle Conel transferred I would put him at 197 and move Dakota to 184. Heavyweight will be tough again next year, so it probably doesn't matter what we do there as far as Nationals.

Witcraft cpuld be an option at 133 as well if Daton takes an Olympic RS. I don't know if Brock can hold 133.

You mean WitCRAFT?

 

[osu2082]

You mean WitCRAFT?

Haha yes! That would be quite the weight cut for Travis.

 

[TheJimReaper]

Haha yes! That would be quite the weight cut for Travis.

He'd definitely have size advantage.

 

[Harleycowboy]

He'd definitely have size advantage.

I think Daton should take an Olympic red shirt and hopefully Kaid can make 33.. 25 Pic, 33 Kaid, 41 G, 49 Boo, 57 Sheets, 65 Joe, 74 Wittlake, 84 Montalvo, 97 Geer and HWT hopefully a transfer. Good lineup but any potential to win Nationals will come in years after so having Daton another year fits with this. Our 2020 recruiting class is very important in that we need a 97 ( Ferrari or Amos) to go along with what we have already. 2021 we get young Mastro at 49 and Picklo at 65. Hopefully we get good news in regards to financial commitments to the wrestling program soon.

I think the NC race and potentially what we do will depend on what PSU decides to do next year as some of their guys are potential Olympic RS's and there is some talk if they will take 2020 "off."
