Next Year

It looks as though next year's class is a good one, but I don't believe they will be ready as freshman to be AA. I also believe next year's line up has a lot of holes to fill. If EV is back that will help. However, Campbell is pretty good and so is Crook, but are they AA caliber? Hip was not ready for the big stage, I hope he gets his head right and not just a new hair color. We have big holes at 165 and 174. Sasso should be a strong 197 and Jimmy will be better. I think we have a real problem in coaching at the upper weights--they are not developing as they should. Catka never reached his potential. Hunter Bolen's first two years were really good, then he went gradually down hill. The lower weight coaches are really good, the lower weight guys will develop into quality wrestlers, buy not overnight.

Is this the best overall class for VT…….EVER?

I think Seidel could be 133

Nininger is a big dude

I have a feeling 184 is going to have an open slot **

I'm hoping not ... really want TJ to get healthy and regain his 2023 mojo**
SimV Hokie 03/22/25 01:33 PM ET
Agree. And I think he will.
Hikinghokie 03/22/25 02:19 PM ET
Also Claudio Torres I would add in the mix at 165**
La Gargola 03/22/25 01:33 PM ET
Torres is a wildcard. He showed some inconsistency previously, but
133966Hokie 03/22/25 01:49 PM ET
He also looks like he could get big if needed
