Feldman needs to get a tank back and past whatever mental hurdle stopped him from pulling the trigger against Trephan.

Trephan did weigh in at 255lbs, but I don't think it was a size thing.

Geog just got brutalized against Hidlay... not getting pinned won them the dual, though (on top of the three pins and Welsh victory at 174).

Rogotzke has a better chance to pin just about anyone, but if he isn't winning against guys like Fishback then I think you keep in on Redshirt.

Chase weighed in at 166lbs... I hope he's not the answer at 174.  Wilcox or Hepner would be better options if Welsh is to remain on Redshirt.  I say pull the shirt, though.

Wilcox needs to be winning those matches against guys like Fields.  I still hope it's Hepner that gets the eventual nod come B1Gs.

Paddy is looking much improved from last year, which is impressive being that him dropping to 157 was sort of a late decision and last year it seemed that weight management was his major problem.  I am impressed with his progression.  For those keeping track, he is 16W - 4L on the season.  He was 12W - 11L last year.  He has avenged on loss (to Block of UNI yesterday) and his other three losses are to two gents who are looking to contend come NCAAs in Scott (4-2) and Andonian (7-4, 8-2).

DD is wrestling good tight matches against guys who will contend for a title this year (Sans Lovett/Parco...).  He is also wrestling good, tight matches against guys who are fringe NQ type guys.  He is 16W-4L on the season, but 4W-4L against gents rated in the Top 33 on Wrestlestat.  I think he is still adjusting to the weight a bit (these guys got quite a bit more horse than 141lbers) and will settle come B1G season.

Mendez is going to be a problem come NCAAs.  He is right there to contend.

Bouzakis had a roller-coaster weekend.  Lost to a Fringe NQ guy, pinned a returning high AA guy.  Hopefully we see him lean towards the latter as far as peak ability and not the former.

McCrone decked an obviously ailing Comacho (he went 0W-3L on the day...).  I don't think we should put much stock in that.

You don't think Fishback is good?

I feel better about it than I did in Aug.

Word around, CBUS (FWIW) is that Hepner will be manning 65 soon.

He just looks better all around.

Agreed. I like that he's busy on the mat.

Roller coaster season. Word is the cut is tough on him. He'll need to get that figured out soon. Dual season is upon us.

Agreed. He's still a boy wrestling some men. But...125 is an enigma.

Good stuff brother. Always appreciated...💪

You don't think Fishback is good? I think Fishback can be good.  Do I think he is AA right now?  Not without a good draw.  I would put him (Fishback) R12/R16 at best right now.  You don't pull the shirt for those points.  You let Hoffman and Shumate battle it out.

I feel better about it than I did in Aug. Same.  Especially with how Arnold is competing, too.  I see him and Welsh as basically 1A and 1B in that both are ready to compete right now.

Word around, CBUS (FWIW) is that Hepner will be manning 65 soon. Good.  Does this mean Wilcox to 174, if Welsh does indeed Redshirt?

He just looks better all around. I know and conventional wisdom would make you think it would be much the same.  I am curious what has changed.

Agreed. I like that he's busy on the mat. The guy is the epitome of a grinder and it doesn't get much better than that.

Roller coaster season. Word is the cut is tough on him. He'll need to get that figured out soon. Dual season is upon us. Roller coaster, but 13W - 5L on the season thus far is still a good result for a Frosh.

Agreed. He's still a boy wrestling some men. But...125 is an enigma. I kind of see him as a 'less good' Heinselman that is willing to take risks.  Heinselman had the skills, just no horse, and he wasn't willing to go for it like McCrone did on that Cradle.

Good stuff brother. Always appreciated...💪

Also heard mentioned 65 is a tough cut for Hepner. Maybe Wilcox stays and Hepner bumps...

Of course, but if he's struggling to win two hours outta the box...He could be in trouble.

He was one of my favorite Buckeyes. Just needed a bit more ass. Kilkeary has looked pretty good when I've watched.

I've got him AA'ing. I'm fine with Rogotzke RS'ing. I can't see Hoffman or Shumate making much difference for the Buckeyes to be honest.
