I think I share this opinion with more than a few others here...Gabe is too short for 184...at least the elite 184s.

And if this is truly the plan - Gabe, Kennedy, Nelson battle it out for 174 - that leaves us with an undersized 184 if one of them bumps up.

le sigh.

184 has been neglected since cash wilke was the starter, until bringing in Angelo. I know Abe was #1 184 in his class, but didn’t pan out

TJ Stewart is the same height as Gabe and did great this year.

Gabe had trouble finishing shots against Naak in high school and Naak is far, far from elite.
Granted, Gabe was giving up 10lbs.

Don’t give me that bullshit you guys post so often about him.

I'll give you any bullshit I want and shove it right down your throat.
If you don't like it, tough bullshit...

I still say he transfers if he redshirts

Certainly possible. If Angelo wins the room but is forced to shirt, resentment could fester in a proud, talented kid denied what he’d earned. Luckily, like @12tdsaw wisely notes, a shirt fills a fifth bag. Might be tough watching a guy he beat get to wrestle next March, but cashing CEO-like checks at age 18 just to train ain’t so bad either. With two wayward sons in seeming tailspins, daddy nilbucks (as if he doesn’t have a say) may even prefer the financial windfall of delaying Angelo’s career.

A great thing about Tom and the staff, is they have very open communication with the wrestlers. There aren't any secrets or surprises getting thrown at them.

Stewart's a lot bigger overall though. He wrestled some 215 in high school and cut down from 197 for last year.

I think Gabe can be a fringe AA at 184, but like him way more at 174.

5 years of nil > 4 years of nil

Yea I don’t get the logic of those who say he leaves if he doesn’t start. In wrestling, your prime earning years is now college unless you are JB or Dake elite.

Nelson would not be undersized for 184. He weighs in the 90s and his fatboy weight is like most of our’s “in shape” weight. He climbs mountains for fun plus his favorite cereal is grape nuts ffs.
