b/c Blair doesn't know he's talking about.
Alvarez can't wrestle b/c this is his second transfer.
Unreal that we have fallen so far that we can’t find a better 157.
Lol ok and Penn State can't find a better 125.
Doesn’t matter they have plenty of talent at the other nine weights.We don’t.
Looks like Manibog beat Harper 4-1 in SV in the Broncho Open 157 final.
Hendrickson took it to him pretty good if memory serves. But yeah, you're point is well taken. He's no pushover. Wouldn't be surprised if he was an R12 guy this year if he holds down the HWT spot.
Don’t mind Coach Smith being coy and close to the vest…that said, feeling a little less than encouraged after hearing this.
There have been a lot of solid individual pieces the last handful of years…just haven’t been able to fit them all together at the same time .

I should edit to say: what I find discouraging, it seems like there are some guys that should nail their spot down and end any debate. I understand where this team is…work in progress, developing, etc.
Weird to hear Carter’s name even mentioned, especially at a weight that seems 2 weights too big.
It’s a lot of years in a row of being patient!

What r u talking about Carter weighs 162 right now where the hell anyone gets that he is a 33 is crazy he made that weight in high school and not once since That’s been 3 years
Crazy? He was slight against more than a few opponents last year at 141. Would agree 141 is likely his best weight. 149 seems more of a stretch than 133.
Gfeller 200+ —> 157. Much more than 162 —> 133
His strength is his speed and quickness.
His weakness is his physicality.
Carter is a guy who for international FS wants to grow and build into a 149 but appeared to be undersized and out horsed at 141 the past two seasons so it’s not crazy to have some concerns with hearing his name in the mix at 149.
That’s good to hear. He was on the sidelines for awhile. I know his family and the staff wanted him to grow into a higher weight but he just hadn’t been able to put on the needed weight and muscle.
If that has changed then great. Would be a nice and big change from last year where he was undersized and overpowered somewhat consistently.
He must of had a HUGE growth spurt. He was struggling at 141
There was a couple of nice snippets in that interview but it seemed like he was mostly just babbling. I wouldn’t take too much from these as he’s said several things that have not met the eye.
I was happy to hear him say that he’s glad he finally “woke up” with the transfer portal when he was asked about Olejnik.
And I personally don’t think we see Carter Young wrestler this year let alone at 149. If he is really getting that big then either himself or Jordan Williams is going to have to bump to 157 bc that hole ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.

But but but.....Blair said not to worry because we are getting a BIG TIME transfer at 157 for this season
Young was bumped from 141 to 149 on the roster a few weeks back. Blankenship and a couple of others also went up a weight. It would be best to keep Young in redshirt 1st semester. It can always be pulled later.
Blair gets grief about the 157 transfer. But Chris Perry hinted at it also in an interview a few months ago. When asked about 157, he said the portal was closed, but not for grad students. Then he said Harper & Khayitov were also possibilities. Seems like maybe something was in play, but then fell through.

Coaching change her to transfer 157 might be this summer now
He already corrected the typo and clearly he is aware it’s November so he means next year. He got called out and gave an answer. Let’s drop it maybe
