Totally agree six top three finishes is good. We have to get back there. I think we could all live with top 4s every year. But with the new portal game, it will make it tougher if the NCAA continues to let teams just buy the best kids

Does anybody have a update on the Wittlake situation? Is he done or coming back for his final year? If he's finished does Haas or Thompson take the 184 spot? I even read some brief chatter on here about the possibility of Plott bumping up. Just trying to fill this years roster out in my head and there's still some big question marks.
Jalin Harper is also listed in the online directory. He was previously mentioned as a possibility for the 157 spot, along with Mirzo Khayitov.
Everyone on OSU's roster is a potential 125, it just wouldn't look good to list them all there.
I tip my cap to you lolEveryone on OSU's roster is a potential 125, it just wouldn't look good to list them all there.
It looks like Trackwrestling has some certifications up. Seems earlier than usual but some guys that stand out.
Sammy Alvarez 165
Tagen Jamison 165
Teague Travis 174
Izzak Olejnik 197
So Alvarez and Jamison (projected 141) weigh at least 157.1. Olejnik (projected 165) 184.1. Travis (projected 149-157) at least 165.1. None of which would be unusual at this stage of the season.
The optimal performance calculator, it is the process of taking an original weight, with a urine sample for hydration, and a skin fold test for body fat percentage and creating a minimum weight that can be wrestled and at which point the should safely reach that weight.
The public doesn’t get all of the information but they can see what the wrestlers starting weights are, and who is on the roster. Based on losing 1.5% of their weight weekly you could figure out who could end up where.
It can be found on the track wrestling website and click on OPC, then college men, then NCAA, then find the team, and go to roster.

So does this change our perception of anyone? Teague a candidate for 157? Do we think olejnik is going for 74 instead?
The one that stands out to me is Jordan Williams making 157. That means he's already between 149.1 - 157. When I see that I think 141, but Blair said he would be at 149.
Well ok, sure. But Alvarez (& Jamison) certified a weight higher and yet he's projected to wrestle a weight lower. On the face of it, looks like they plan to swap.
It's all speculation without inside knowledge. Travis Mastro made 141 for certification a couple of years ago. Turns out he was sick and lost a bunch of weight.
