SIAP: What does next years line up look like?

[OldHawkFan]

A ton of bad luck and injuries this year.
Hoping they can patch themselves together for one awesome weekend at nationals.

That being said, I’m not sure if this has already been discussed, but with the Covid extra year of eligibility (that can get a bit confusing) and obviously Spenser’s redshirt, who’s coming back next year and who’s coming in?
I think DeSanto, Young, Bull, and Kem are done, correct? Is everyone else eligible to come back? Who’s filling those holes?

TIA

Cullen will replace desanto. Not sure who replaces young. Kennedy fills in for the bull. And brands for kemerer. Spencer back at 25. 141 probably will be Henson. 49 murin. And cass and Warner are back as well

 

[dgordo]

Is there a chance Kennedy goes 174 and brands goes 165?

 

[AFHawk86]

Less experienced but fresher.

 

[Jrjt0518]

Is there a chance Kennedy goes 174 and brands goes 165?

Probably not is my guess. Plus Kennedy already down to 65 is where he belongs. Wrestlers with height and length give him problems. See O’Malley matches on youtube

 

[Auger]

I would be shocked if there isn't a transfer or two added. You know PSU is going to add some. If Iowa can add a couple mid to high AA caliber transfers they could compete for a natty again next year. The era of the transfer can make you Championship caliber every year.

I would love to see riggins at 57. He wrestles like a lightweight and shots at the time!!

125 - Lee (Ayala redshirt)
133 - Schriever

149 - Murin
157 - [gaping hole]
165 - Kennedy
174 - Brands
184 - Assad

[bammhawk1]

Is there any possibility Ayala bumps up to 33 next season or is he a career 125?

 

[Auger]

He is a 125. He still has room to grow into 125 and could benefit from a year gaining strength for 125.

 

[Jrjt0518]

Psu might look like this. Steen/Howard 25/33. 41 Bartlett 49 svn. 57/65 will be two freshman in facundo and Levi something name escapes me but he is very good. Then from 74-heavy the same as this year

 

[Jrjt0518]

Is there any possibility Ayala bumps up to 33 next season or is he a career 125?

No

 

[STEEL125]

Going to need a transfer or two.

 

[burk11]

Is there any possibility Ayala bumps up to 33 next season or is he a career 125?

Yes

 

[bammhawk1]

OK, so which is it? Drake can bump to 33 or not?

 

[moosemonster]

157 - [gaping hole]

You think Gomez from Wisconsin is going to transfer? I’d prefer we not resort to name-calling.

 

[Jrjt0518]

OK, so which is it? Drake can bump to 33 or not?

No

 

[Case I H]

Drake is a small 125. He lacks muscle even at 125. No he will not be at 133 any time soon. Maybe in a couple years after he has had all of his redshirt year next year to put on muscle, but no way he will be 133 next year. Get it out of your head. He would get thumped at 133.

 

[el dub]

No

So, 157 is out of the question?

 

[Jrjt0518]

Lmao

 

[Kwoodhawk]

Is that you Vallholl?

 

[el dub]

Is that you Vallholl?

Lol Remember the good old days?

 

[Vallholl]

Lol Remember the good old days?

Yes I do. For a middle aged man who never wrestled passed third grade and who should drop a stone or two, I was also suggesting guys cut a weight or two. I spent a lot of time getting Moore to 157 and Grothus to 141. Inordinate amount of time actually.

 

[TarpHawk]

You think Gomez from Wisconsin is going to transfer? I’d prefer we not resort to name-calling.

LOL.

Put me down for Austin O'Connor, who has 1 season of eligibility left. Darkhorse: Ed Scott, freshman from NC St who pinned Kaleb in the dual.

 

[Jrjt0518]

Is that you Vallholl?

I know where this is going!!!!

 

[Jrjt0518]

I still got 5 on it!!!!

 

[SPOONER]

LOL.

If we are dreaming, aim higher. Carr...lol. Or how about Deakin?

 

[HawkFan1986]

Yep I think so. Just a hunch, but if I were betting I’d place my money on Ayala at 133 come next March. This depends on how he responds to his injury aka what kinda treatment he’ll need. If surgery, he might not have the time to become a full sized 133.

Place the amount and I’m in. He will not be 33 next year!!!

 

[artradley]

I prefer not to think about next years lineup. I’m just waiting for Spencer Lee to be head coach.

 

[HawkFan1986]

Place the amount and I’m in. He will not be 33 next year!!!

A lot of my confidence is based on the fact that he’s not as small as everyone seems to think he is. Give his injury, and possible surgery I could be wrong.

Again. You think he will be 33. I don’t. I’ll bet that!! Let’s do wfl or Hawkeye wrestling club if you are that confident!!

 

[HawkFan1986]

Haha. I’m not that confident. I’ve had disclaimers on both of my last two posts describing why. All I’m saying is I wouldn’t be surprised.

I would be beyond stunned if this came true, nor do I want that to happen. Get healthy, get stronger for 125 and get better. That's my personal wish list for Drake Ayala.

We are losing legit title contender/top 3 level guys at 133, 141, 165 and 174 and a proven AA at 157. None of the guys expected to replace them project to that level now. Spencer, Max, Warner and Cass are the only ones you could honestly project to AA going into next season based on body of work. Keep in mind you need 4 or 5 high AA types as a base to be a title contender. Mid to low AA doesn't score much.

True. But 141 clears out. We get Fix and his magic juice to transfer, maybe that cuts down on the injuries, so a twofer there. Then when Deakin and Brooks transfer in, we're all set.

You don’t like Henson? He’s gonna be a bad dude soon!!! Only getting better

 

[TarpHawk]

Current Wrestlestat rankings:

125 - Lee #1
133 - Schriever #43
141 - Henson #40
149 - Murin #10
157 - only 157 on roster is Robles #249
165 - Kennedy #30
174 - Brands #17
184 - Assad #16
197 - Warner #8
285 - Cass #3

2023 is definitely going to be a "development" year, alas. Schriever, Henson & Kennedy all showed glimpses of future greatness, but their current rankings seem about right. Let's hope all three can move into the top 8 quickly.

Probably late to the party but no chance.
