This is going to be a different kind of season

A lot of unknowns. Usually we know pretty much what to expect at most weights. This year I feel we are waiting to see for more than those we have a good idea about. 125- Known. Less than AA will be disappointing. 133- Complete unknown. If we go Campbell he showed glimpses, but mostly at 125 and looking at pictures he will probably never see that again. He’s a great athlete so a bump in improvement should be expected, but to what? If we go Seidel, how ready is he in a stacked weight? Studs like Figs and Wells are outside the top 12. Tall task for either to really break out. 141- Unknown. Can Crook maintain 141? How much better has he gotten? Can anyone else qualify at this weight? 149- Known. Anything less than winning is a disappointment. 157- Somewhere in between. Miller is a good wrestler no doubt. But how does he acclimate? Does he improve or does he regress? 165- Unknown. Assuming it’s Mac Church who was the surprise starter last year. Does he adjust better a year into the weight and improve? 174- Unknown. Big jump from SOCON to ACC. He will no longer be an unknown and people will watch him. Wollak coming from small school struggled because people started watching him. 184- Complete unknown. Bullock has never been consistent, but full of talent. Does Gage make a bump and jump in progression? Burton? He looks way too small from what I’ve seen from team pictures, but who knows. 197- Unknown. Can Sasso stay healthy? Didn’t see much from him against top competition last year. Hwt- Known. Should be blood round or better.

Good post - I'll attempt to speak on the unknowns with no inside info

I'm pretty bullish on Sasso. He's got great attacks and funk for a big guy.

133 is going to be tough to AA this year

I'm probably higher on Seidel than most
donjfs3 07/28/25 03:31 PM ET
Everyone should be really high on Seidel
