I think Varner could move up but I really, really like Reader at 165 next year. 184 is going to stacked next year so moving Varner up to 197 might make it easier for him.
Yes, Varner and Reader should be moving up. Reader at 174 could be a better fit for him. He was one of the tallest 165s this year and his dad is a bigger sized guy. I can see him growing into the weight very well next year.
As for who will replace Reader and Varner, Ward should be the man at 184. 165 could feature a wrestle off of two 2007 National JUCO Champs both from Iowa Central. Although not confirmed yet, Colby Covington 165 National JUCO Champ could be a Cyclone next season. Carr Jr. was the 157 National JUCO Champ and he has a verbal to Cael.
I ran into Colby in St. Louis and he is very excited about being a Cyclone. Both Covington and Carr Jr. would have three years of eligibilty left.
