Hello Q-Beaver...do you follow QAnon, The Great Awakening?
Re the roster. We have everyone back, sans 1 heavyweight, Christian Robertson. What will that get us? 4th in the conference again? I don't know. Then coming off of RS is Hunter Willits and I really think Ein Carlos gets a spot in the line up, possibly 174? Also, Garcia from NJ may find his way in the line up. This is all assuming no defections or kids that choose to go into the transfer portal.
125 BK
133 Turner
141 G. Willits
149 Stigall
157 Garcia/H. Willits (if Hunter goes 165, Garcia would be my guess)
165 H. Willits/Olmos (I was really hoping Olmos would have improved more by now, but the sample set of 2 seasons, has proved otherwise. He is still a good kid, and good in the classroom too)
174 Carlos/McKinney
184 Doyle
197 Dixon
285 Grant (Our best 285 is giving up 20-25 pounds on every guy he wrestles, that puts him at a disadvantage when he steps on the mat against a decent to stud-guy) Then the 3 remaining guys: Barnes, Osborn, Still. Not sure who is the best of them, but we should keep him and thin the herd.
New guys: Vidlak, Kuenzi. Good candidates for RS. Plus we are 'heavy' with lower weight guys on the roster already.
The new coaching staff will have to roll up their sleeves and go to work. We need: 165, 184, 285 type guys. Can we hire the right guy to cause some recruiting battles or transfers to come our way? Lets hope so. When Zeke was hired @ ASU, he had about 3 solid years of good recruiting that started with the Valencia brothers. Note: I have heard Chris Pendelton-ASU Ast. is interested in the Beav job.
The key to recruiting is get the best stud you can, plug him into the weight as a F or RS Freshman, then you don't have to worry about that weight for 4 seasons. Do that with 2-3-4 weights, then plug the other spots with good guys, that get better, then we are moving up. Steel sharpens steel.
When I look at the conference I see a youth movement happening. Courtney-125, Woods-141, Teemer-157, Griffith-165 are all underclassmen & conference champions. The last three are Freshmen. They will have these weights or their future weights locked down for 3 more years. That will make our re-build tougher.
