Weight class will look alot different I’m not saying he isn’t a stud. He’s an 157 pounder wrestling 165. He is going to be on the small side. Saying that, I think I would rather have him at 165 though. Wilson has been a .500 wrestler the last 2 years. I’m wondering if we haven’t seen the best from him.

Bubba is a great addition to any lineup. He is a fringe AA candidate. Had a decent showing at Ncaas last year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammen Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 125 will be in good hands next year with Alan Koehler (3x MN). I just hope he can keep the weight as he looked big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a decent showing at Ncaas last year too Bubba is a high ceiling, low floor guy. NCAA's last year basically tells the story on Bubba Wilson. Beats a very tough Matthew Olguin in OT, then gets majored by Shane Griffith, then beats a game Connor Brady 5-2 before getting majored 10-0 by Austin Yant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying, they were looking for a different option at 165 this offseason, and if Taylor is at 165, I’d rather see Wilson at 174 instead of Brown Ton.

"Brought in" in this sort of usage is commonly used for incoming transfers, not visits. I see what you're saying now, though. Seemed a bit off at first (as you can tell by at least three other people going ... 'wtf are you on about?'). Trying to get Caliendo is an absolute no-brainer. You bring him in and let him go what weight he wants... not that he wouldn't earn that anyways. I am not as big a fan as the Northern Illinois kid. One-hit wonder. "I know actually nothing.

There’s a reason they brought in multiple 165 portal guys this past spring and summer. They also poked around Truax and both Pinto and Allred are AA contenders. Just because they are trying to upgrade doesn't mean the current guy on the roster is "bad" Having said that, I do agree that Wilson is not a fringe AA guy. Could he make a run on the backside or pull an upset, yes, but I don't know if he can get to the round of 12 or AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
