Things are certainly getting very interesting and while many discussions have taken place. I believe a new thread is warranted! I never recall having so many possibilities as the season moved on. Usually there might be 1 or 2 spots where you could be looking at different options, but this year seems much crazier!!!
I guess the very 1st thing is AJ. What is going to ultimately happen with him? Just this one kid brings so many questions right now? 1st obviously is, will he ultimately be eligible? In my opinion that answer will be YES!!! Next question, then what? Does he go 197 or heavy? Some have said he will go 197!?!?
Is there an option to "put him on the back burner till next year? I do not have a clue about this? Why does this matter? Well, if you are TNT and company, do you make a push this year, or do you gear up for a run next year? Many have already talked about both sides of this coin. Injuries, portal moves, other uncertainties like POS NCAA gambling probes etc....
Seems we are a more ALL IN NOW type of team, so that is what I am guessing is going to happen. So IF AJ is indeed at 197, then the next question is, can Glazier get to 184? I though some one said NO and he may have not even certified there? Would he be our BEST option anyway, or would you roll out ARNOLD???
Moving along, reason I have Arnold at 184, is I am looking at what I would believe is our BEST possible line up. I think Kennedy, who has looked pretty good besides condition due to injury, is our best option at 174, It appears to me like Candy(have to give this kid a nickname to hard to spell) at 165 has rubbed off on him some! I am liking the array and pace of attacks!!!
Then you have to move back up to HEAVY. Does BIG BEN GO? Can he even go? By that I mean, someone(maybe his mom?) said he is in a Football redshirt. So can he wrestle? I would assume not but what in hell do I know!?!?!?
125 along with 141, 157, and 165 appear to be the only weight classes that are pretty much certain right now. 133 Schriever's performance puts him as the front runner to me right now. Obviously a lot more wrestling and Teske might have a say in the matter!
149 brings yet another ? mark??? We have Triple V who has not been lighting it up. Then there is another Ferrari!!! He already beat V so does he have a shirt available? If so do you use it?
Maybe the best line up would be
Ayala
Schriever
Woods
Ferrari
Frankel
Candy
Kennedy
Arnold
AJ
Big Ben
Right now that is a very salty looking line up!!! It COULD POSSIBLE take out our FUN st friends!!!
Looking at a dual meet. I would see us favored at 125, 141, 149 with Van Ness out, and 165. There 133 has not looked great, injury may be slowing him down? Could we steal a match here? At 157 it is 1 vs 2 so at least on paper it should be a war!!!
174, obviously a TALL order to get a win but Brands went Toe to Toe last year and I think Kennedy is better!!! Arnold from what I saw, could shock the world! Kid is a BULL and I can see him taking out there guy!
at 197 AJ vs Babblin would be worth the price of admission plus a few beers and two Carver cones to boot!!!!! I am 100% certain their fans will feel good about their guy and rightfully so. I however want to see AJ back on the mat, but I feel good about OUR GUY!!!
Would need Big Ben to keep it close and win the 4 we are favored in and possible steal 2 others, and BOOM the bandwagon fans wheels will blow right off!!!!
