I don't think this is good news. I liked he could be 84 or 97. This happens a lot in recruiting.
Tbf we don’t know what he weighs or walks around at on a regular basis
Hopefully he can recup for 2 or 3 weeks and be ready for Iowa
When Ryder was walking on the mat, his arm was hanging like a shoulder separation. IMO
White has grown and looks like he is boun
he was 190 few weeks ago and that was with a cut actively going. He is going to be a 197 most likely
Can’t imagine if those two made offspring together. 1st name might be Excuse

He was honest with the coaches about wanting to portal . He's still in school
That is unfortunate. We dont have good back up at 184 in case of injury for Ryder like now. Atleast 197 we have Austin.
Possibly. I don’t see the point tho. We have one more year of Spratley and Zinkin after that. I say let Ramirez bulk up and battle with Hughes and Jayden Raney for 133 next year.
He's talked in interviews how the cut to 61kg isn't easy .
Vega 149 he also could RS. Jamison will be around as well. Good problems to have.
He certainly can go to 141 but last year I was shocked in a big dual he dropped to 126 for a chance to wrestle a Bachmann. To avoid that Match Bachmann moved up a weight. The tournament likely gave some weight but Jax can cut weight.
It's fun fodder, but we really need to see how guys finish at NCAAs before we can say much about how next year's lineup looks. If Sergio goes out and wins a title, he gets to wrestle at whatever weight he wants and there will be no redshirt. If Casey goes and takes third, we will view the lineup much differently than if he goes 1-2.
Agree 100%. Ive made mention also of Vega possibly needing a RS before he goes up to 49 and Ive caught hell in some pod chats and on twitter. And Im literally thinking how have you people not seen that going up a weight a lot of times a wrestler is not as successful? Vega uses LEVERAGE with his length. He will lose some of that going up against taller and stronger opponents at 49. There are a lot of factors to consider in the short and long term.
He has Casey and Jamison in the room they probably already know if he needs a RS at 149 or not . My guess is he doesn't. But it might be the best thing for the team long term
It is my opinion, nothing more.
But, it is beneficial for a RS when bulking up a weight. If he is going 49, his constant weight needs to be around 55 and “off-season/walk around” weight needs to be a tad higher.
Right now, he stays pretty tight to 41 because he can blow up to 50 pretty easy.
He can get to 60 easily
. He's a 149 in the future
I think so. I think 41 is where he is currently, but he has to pay attention to his nutrition.He can get to 60 easily
From what Ive heard that is one of the reasons I think a RS would benefit him. I love Vega and his success has been amazing, but lets think about this for a minute. At 49 he could see guys longer than Echemendia with the same or more strength. That match was razor thin and his best leg attack came off a reattack. With the way 49 is, I could definitely see him being an AA but I think (and its an opinion) he has a better chance against Mendez than Van ness and thats saying something. Its just the combination of length and leverage and strength that makes me think that.
If he redshirts after this year Mendez and Van Ness will be gone after that. Mendez at 41 and Van Ness at 49 are big favorites at their weight classes.
Yes, theres that too. Could see some Vega / Bassett matchups in a couple years.
I don't see him having to take a RS to be successful at 149 right away but it may be the best for the team. Gotta remember though Raney is a 149 as well so RS both next year means another year of overlap with Vega and Raney
We probably see Echemendia at 149 next year. The infection he had in his ankle which put him in the hospital really took a toll on his body and he was small and that's why he went 141 this year. As the year has gone on his cut has become a thing.
I said myself I thought he could AA at 149. But like I also said, I see him with a better chance of beating Mendez than Van ness.
I disagree. Van Ness has been put on his back this year and scrambles way more then Jesse which plays into Vega hands. I watched Carter Young cradle Van Ness not sure the last time I saw Mendez get cradled. And Vega is a cradle guy
