Wonder if he wants to be a 49 or is willing to go back down again. Seems like he could make more of a splash with his haymaker moves at 41 where guys aren't quite as tall/long and he has more leverage.

I think Swiderski has said publicly that he has no plans to redshirt but I could be remembering that wrong. And maybe KD and Metcalf could change his mind.

Oh I know for a fact he's said he plans on being the man at 141, and I love the confidence. I'm just saying that if we have the chance to add another elite talent, and a really good guy for Swiderski to roll around with for the next few years, you have to make the strong play. These are the guys we need to be in contention for hardware, and it wouldn't hurt that he'll walk in with a big chip on his shoulder.

I just not sure you burn Swiderski's redshirt without entering him in a bigger tournament.
I did hear rumors of a similar rule as football, that you could compete in 4 events and maintain your redshirt.
Haven't heard how likely that is to pass though.

Not sure he even wants to wrestle anymore.

I would have put him ahead of Coleman coming into the year. Leaving it he wasn't even close. Marcus really advanced this past season.
If he could cut to 174, it may be worth making a run at him for a year. Otherwise, you are spot on, Marcus>Tate

Football players are able to play in four games and still retain their redshirt for that same year, it's been in the rules a few years now I believe

Not exactly sure.

Other sports do not have opens where you can enter a player, unattached, against the same competition and see how they will do. If they allow the same redshirt rules as football and basketball then they probably need to eliminate the wrestler from wrestling in varsity competitions unattached.

IF we are able to land Henson we'll definitely start having a bit of a logjam in the lower weights, which would be a wonderful problem to have!

The way I see it, Swiderski and Henson could duke it out pre-season for 141. The winner stays and the other guy starts his build-up (Swiderski) or cut (Henson) to fill in nicely at a neighboring weight. This gives us the Lil' Bash Bros. (Swiderski/Henson) and the Big Bash Bros. (Coleman/Bastida) with King Carr reigning overall in the middle.

Middle bash bros: Carr, MJ, Rojas ;)
