2024-2025 Wrestling Lineup

While I do agree, Bailey doesn’t look small either, so maybe he ends up 141?
Yes, Ech wants to go 149 but Panaro isn’t just going to hand the spot over. I was told by a wrestler that more than likely Ech will go back down if he get’s beat by Paniro.
MJ will wrestle off at 165. If he losses, he’ll head back up to try and gain the 174 spot which will be between Tate/Riggins.
Between 125, 141-174 wrestle-offs will be tense to say the least.
Dresser said last night that wrestle offs are early this year. They plan on doing them mid-October because they have a lot of weights that need sorted out. He said they have a decent amount of guys doing pretty good cuts. Sounds like he wants spots solidified earlier so certain guys can get a cleaner cut with more time if they need to get down and wrestle off another weight.
I should probably cut some weight for the season too.
Made the mistake of getting rid of the scale when we moved. Stepped on one at my parents place this past weekend and needless to say some changes need to be made
My intuition is Gaitan is a fair amount ahead of our other options at 165, is that not accurate?
Starting to feel, at least reading tea leaves (and I know I shouldn’t do that), the potential is there for a pretty salty lineup. I know that was expected, but there have been a few things said here that could shift things from what I was originally thinking. Example:
125: Won’t even put a name here, as it sounds like some heated comp
133: Frost (did not really expect this)
141: Sounds like Ech is possible here (shocking to me, in a good way)
149: Paniro
157: Chittum
165: Gaitan (I had not even considered this)
174: Naak (dude looks cut up)
184: Bockman (was not expected until Carroll came on board)
197: Carroll
285: Bastida
That’s more than half the weights with a different name next to them than I had thought a few short months ago.

If Casey RS, that would be our strongest lineup if people can make those weights.
You need to read better
I think a lot of weights will be determined after wrestle offs in October. Lot of quality depth leads to lots of moving parts. No matter how it ends up, I think we will have a lot of fun watching this team compete
We know guys get dinged up bad every year. I think it's a big freakin' deal that at many weights there will be very little drop off to the next guy.
Euton is a tough SOB, don't miss on that.
Very happy to hear it, the competition for all but a few spots is amazing to me this year.
Castillo living in Ames this year will tell you how serious he is about cracking the line up early next year. Meza is tough as well too, 125/133 is going to be solid for a long time IMO.
I am going to try and make as many duals that I can, I have never experienced a dual like we did Iowa vs Iowa ST last year. That was so fricking cool. You guys are kinda blessed, that entire state loves wrestling, we were not used to that. Gonna be fun!
