At this point, would it make more sense to use any money raised for a new wrestling facility and put it in to NIL instead?

I will say coach Holder saw this coming at least five years ago. He told Kenny G that he would be better off putting this softball stadium money into a fund to pay the players instead of a new facility.

I’ll continue beating the drum that Spratley is a career 125. He struggles with the guys who are sucked down 133’s wrestling at 125, but I also think that’s his secret weapon that let him make it to the finals. He didn’t have to kill himself for 3 straight days to make weight, unlike guys like Strickenberger at WVU.
Yep. It looks like Strickenberger will be at 133 next year, but there will still be others like him that Troy will have to deal with. Who in the room can give Troy that feel?

Daton is still around, but he was a short and powerful 133. If Richie Figs really is looking to go 133 and wants to wear some orange and black, maybe him? Trying to think how the other guys at that weight on the team are built

Daton, RBY, Gilman all capable of giving him a bigger athlete to go against. Throw in Figs if we do get him.
 
What I have heard is that he wants to go 165. He is wrestling 175 his senior year but I think 175's have a size advantage and really good 175's Dee is not stronger than them and that makes the match closer. College 174 are very strong, so I think 165 is the weight class for him and I think he wants to beat Mesenbrink for his 1st title.
Now, that would put a cherry on our season next year. It’s a vision quest.

Jax will do what the staff recommends but he wants to Wrestle!
Also, at that dual of the 2 best teams in United States, Jax cut to 126 to wrestle Joe Bachman who ran from him and wrestled 132 on that dual. So, this year he made 126 just to wrestle a tough opponent and was upset that Bachman wisely avoided the beating that he knew was coming his way.

Sooo. What does this do to our current roster? Hughes now fighting for 141 spot. Tagen probably going 149. 157 - TT or Lockett.
As of right now if Figueroa does commit to us this is how I see it.

125- Spratley
133- Figueroa
141- Jamison/Swiderski
149- Jamison/Swiderski
157- Travis/Portal
165- Lockett
174- Facundo
184- Ryder
197- Merrill
HWT- Doucet/Portal

Agree with this lineup. Thompson will have to win at 174 to break the lineup. Don’t see him beating Ryder. How about the kid who wrestled at 133 vs Iowa? Can he break the starting lineup?

Rin is a natural 125. I had him as the likely starter this year at 133, but Figs for one year only gives Rin more time to grow into folkstyle. When we saw him in February he was 3 months or so into folk. Really like his talent though.
