Anyone else getting a little nervous that Perez Perez....
- Thread starter Jay on HR
- Start date
Gonna be some bumps this year. Cheer the young man on if wins the spot.
I'm not trying to be negative about anyone but more point out that is anyone going to at least try to go down and challenge him?
I think the cut to 125 will become more appealing once the 133 spot fills up.
125: Wagner
133: Happel
141: Turk
133: Happel
141: Turk
Wagner will be our 125 in my opinion. If Happel can make 33 like Tarp says he could have a good year. He needs to work on his slow feet but he is a gamer.
If Stickley could make 125 I think he might be the guy. He beat Wagner h2h in an open this past season, and Stickley wasn't even practicing with the team, he was greyshirting essentially.
Whoever mans 125, I'd really like to see Tarp's suggestions for 133 and 141. I think Happel and Turk at 133 and 141 could really make some noise.
I realize expectations for next year's bunch aren't through the roof, but I think they'll surprise people -- including lot of Hawk fans. Not predicting a national title by any means, but I think they'll score more points than most of us think they will.

State Placer out of Northern CA. I believe he's a RS Soph. Not to much in the way of "notable" wins. Probably explains the lack of bell ringing.
Looked up some background on Perez.
Perez wrestled for Windsor HS in northern CA, as so cal mentioned. Dan Dennis was an assistant coach there, before coming back and qualifying for Olympics, and their paths may have crossed.
Perez qualified for CA state 3 times, placing once at 6th:
soph dnp, 0-2 106 lb
jr 6th place 106 lb
sr dnp 3-2, 113 lb

I would think this would be a contested weight given the opening. Laux could probably do some damage if he could make the cut safely...is going to be our starter at 125 next season?
IAwrestle story today talked about Laux at 133 and both Wager and Rathbun wrestled up this year.
I really thought Stickley performed well in opens last season for a kid who wasnt even training with the team. Im not sure which weight he is actually expected to compete at but being in the room this year should really help his skill set and conditioning.
Wasn't Stickley practicing with HWC last season? Thought I read that he was living in IC to gain residency...
I would not want to see Lee out there as a true fr.
He is so talented, but coming off knee surgery (and shoulder surgery the prior year), let him fully heal. Plus he's a bit undersized. Next year is a rebuilding year imho, and I'd say, save Lee for 2018-19.

You may have it confused with having a baby.
Stickley is a great wrestling name so I'm pulling for him. If Brands ever signs a kid named Majors I'll be in his corner too.
I think Warner's Dad has been pretty clear that a redshirt year is in the cards....same with Lee. Both can use it to bulk up...scary thing about JWAR is that he is not a full grown 197 and has a lot of room for muscle growth. If he had to go right now, it would probably be at 184.
"You may have it confused with having a baby"... you must be right! My bad!
So if Warner redshirts will Wilcke stay at 197 or go to 184? Doesn't 197 clear out a lot this coming year?
Enough with the "ifs." Warner and Lee are redshirting.
Yes I know Lee and Warner have a 90% or better of shirting. Just throwing it out there.
Finalists in Kemdawg and Sorensen. Percentage chance of AA at remaining weights.
125: Stickley= 50/50, Laux=20/80, Wagner=20/80 and Perez=10/90
133: Happel: 60/40, Laux= 30/70,, Stickley= 20/80
141: Turk=50/50, Happel=40/60
165: The Bull=80/20
174: Young=60/40, Gunther= 30/70
184: Cash Money: 70/30
197: ????
Hwt: Stoll=95/5

I hope Stoll gets healthy. With him being a MN heavy and having a MN heavy coach, he could be a finalist next year!
This is crazy high, almost across the board.
Stickley, a HS state runner-up at 120 pounds, wrestling in his first college season, needs to focus on qualifying. 5/95.
Happel has talent but has yet to beat a top-tier guy. Can he even make 133? 20/80.
Ditto for Turk, whose record last year was 1-0. 20/80.
Sorensen and Kemerer are 85/15. Recall that Sorensen ended up in a situation this year where, due to an upset of Collica early on, either he, Jordan or Collica weren't going to place. Funky things happen. No one's a lock to AA.
The Bull? Okay. 65/35.
Young? Talented and some good wins last season, but not at 174. 35/65 until proven otherwise.
Cash beat no one in the top 10 and needed a wildcard just to be in the tourney. Granted, he had a good tourney. That gets him to 25/75.
Stoll is 50/50 until we see how his knee holds up.
But I like the optimism, I do.
