Roster?
- Thread starter oberebo
- Start date
While we are waiting, I did read a couple of things...
The first is that Lincoln Olson transferred to CMU. Probably a good move for him, as he returns to his home state of Michigan and has a chance to start there. I thought some others might also transfer, like maybe Mike Magaldo or Boo. It looks like they didn't, so I'm glad they stayed.
The second thing is it looks like Wyatt Sheets is back in school, but I don't know if he will rejoin the team or not.

Yes, I am harping on this. No reason for the Roster to not be up. I checked the top ten ranked wrestling programs just now and ALL of them had their 2017-18 rosters up including Penn State, Iowa State, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Lehigh, Arizona State, Va. Tech, Minnesota, Wisconsin, NC State, S Dak state, West Virginia and Virginia. There is no tactical advantage to withhold the roster.
Maybe the coaches read this forum.
Some new names. Time to do some research. Boo at 149 - nice.

looking at bios, I think they have Cornelius Putnam and Josh Solomon reversed.Maybe the coaches read this forum.

Wrassler, what do you think the odds are Boo goes 149 and competes for the spot with Geo?
Think you're right. Also, here's an article on Harris's commitment:

They have him at 149 on the roster, so I think he will challenge for the spot. I just hope he put on some good size in the off season. Big fan of Boo.
If Boo has put on sustainable and good weight he will push Geo for the spot which will make us much better at 149. Both guys have AA potential next year at the weight.
Geo is a solid and had a good offseason but Boo is a very high potential guy if he can put it all together.
I am a huge fan of Boo and I hope he is big enough.
They waited longer than anyone else. A few errors but they are correctible. I do not think showing Brock as a Junior is an error. He is not guaranteed that year until after he has completed the four years of eligibility. He will get it but I believe technically they are correct.
If you are referring to Davy Dolan; I asked a guy that I work with who lives in Berryhill about Davey and he said that his daughter (who has kept in touch with Davey after high school) said that Davey has taken a job in Dallas.
For what it's worth: totally unsubstantiated and complete hearsay.
I saw that on his twitter profile, but I haven't read anything official about a transfer.
Davey graduated in May (in 4 years) with 1 more year of eligibility remaining. Same with Zac Gentzler I believe, who is a graduate student at SIUE now.
Some random musings...
8 kids with Stillwater as their hometown
Tanner Allen, Joe Schumacher, and Mitchell Sellers not listed
Nice to see Wyatt back
Glad Keegan is still listed
Hoping Derek White listed at 197 is an oversight
Like Boo at 149. Would feel better if he was wrestling 70 kg this weekend (like Collica) because that would tell me he has put on the size for 149. Kid is extremely talented. If he's healthy, look out.
Would rather see Gfeller wrestling at 149 than 141 this year. Depending on how we finish up with recruiting, he might even work his way up to 157 at some point.
Austin Harris just turned 18 and is listed at 6-2, probably ends up a 197 rather than a 174. He beat Alex Kauffman at Fargo this summer. I think he has some nice upside. I also like Kauffman (started wrestling late) and I hope he transfers from NEO next year.
Cornelius (Neil) Putnam. Seems fairly athletic and looked pretty good in some wrestling and football highlights. Well coached coming out of Blair. Let's see how he does against our other heavies.
Didn't see too much about Josh Solomon.
Putnam's brother, Will, is a top 100 football recruit in 2019. He has offers from about everyone in the country.
Solomon has a good overall record for the type of schedule that SJB usually wrestles. Last I knew, his dad was an attorney in Stillwater and mom was an employee of the university. That was several years ago though.
Amazing that nearly 25% of the roster is from Stillwater yet they only won one state championship. I realize guys like Rogers and Moran were only there for one year (championship year) and Solomon didn't go to SHS. They didn't underachieve....just a strange fact.
With one shot weigh ins, think it is possible for Boo to be full sized at 149. That is halfway between 65 and 70kg. May be an easy cut to 149 for him.
Not sure about Gfeller. He looked last year like 138 was an easy weight for him to make, and I haven't seen him since school started.
But with our lower weights, it would seem better if he could be at 149 in the future, so we can get Picc, Fix, and Brock under him. keep lifting
