Star to 184 or 197. @Husker_Du might have some insider info but this scenario has been the most consistent i'm in the camp of 'i'll believe it when i see it' when it comes to Mesenbrink at 157. it makes a lot of sense line up wise, though. i hope it happens, largely bc it does wonders for maximizing the other kids' opportunities on the roster. 2 TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winners Circle Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 14 hours ago, ILLINIWrestlingBlog said: I had heard that this was a possibility. Looks like a grad student or Senior, one-year deal to fill 157 for the former Cyclone. Danny Nini can be built up in the meantime. Starter for Campbell (20-10) and then for Iowa State (22-15) with a Round of 16. I expect that this will be the middle and upper-weights for the ILLINI: 149 Kannon Webster 157 Jason Kraisser 165 Braeden Scoles 174 Danny Brawlnagel 184 Edmond Ruth 197 Zac Brawlnagel HWT Luuuke Luffman I thought you said Nini was going to fill the hole at 157? Stance on that changed pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because another guy entered the fold that wasn't apparent before. He is allowed to be excited for Nini then also be excited if a guy who is projected to 'be better' enters the fold. He can be excited for either or both. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say anything about 'being excited'? He said Nini 'shored up the final hole in the Illini lineup at 157'. I made the case that getting a guy that had a losing record last year didn't exactly shore up a hole. Being excited about getting a guy who can sit and develop for the future is far different than 'shoring a hole in the lineup.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nini did shore it up, for those who anticipate greatness out of him (keep in mind who you're questioning there... the BIGGEST Illini fan on these boards in @ILLINIWrestlingBlog). Kraisser shores it up a little better and allows further development to take place without the pressure of performance. Win - Win, really 3 "I know actually nothing.

poorwrestler Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Kyle Burwick to NDSU is great for both parties. Burwick goes home, and NDSU upgrades at 133 and Michael Olson can redshirt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesenbrink didn't exactly look like a fatty out there at 165! I can't see a guy pulling weight when he finished 2nd at NCAAs last year. Maybe Haines will move up to 165 and beat him in a ranking match and then he'd pull down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
