You don't bring a guy in to be a back up. He won't be given the spot, but the coaches must believe he is better than any of our current options at that weight.
As a coach you hope all of your guys are gunning for the starting spot. However, the best coaches let guys develop and give them opportunities to prove themselves. I believe that some coaches promise starting spots and try to stack the deck in favor of their favorites. Our coaches let guys prove it in public wrestle off's and early open tourneys. The Frost brothers are prime examples of this... They brought in Grice from the transfer portal but we had a guy in the room that proved he was better. They talked up Redding pre-season last year because he was a previous years R12 proven guy (much like Bockman) but we had a young guy in the room that proved he was better. May the best guy win!
