I think redshirting Caleb showed that VT is prioritizing a podium finish…
next year over continuing the 3AA streak this year. That said, seeing the way these guys are developing, that streak may just continue.
As for lineup speculation next year, we just need to see where guys end up weight wise. Which of DC or Aaron ends up at 133 may depend on which can make the weight. Both look good sized 133’s now.
A lot hinges on Bo as well. Sure, the eye test right now shows he could be at 141. He certainly looks smaller than just about everyone he wrestles, but he is still growing (as are a lot of the guys) and could put on a lot of good weight by next year. As I would encourage all wrestlers HS and below, I’m not sure Bo has ever cut a lot of weight, at least maybe not for the course of a long season, and his machine gun mindset could suffer if he is fighting the scale all season. Caleb will do well at 149 or 157. Does he have better shot at a second NC at 149? Maybe, but I do know for sure one thing, he will be a better wrestler knocking heads with Bo and the rest of these young studs in the room everyday.

Might sound dumb, but do coaches care about x3AA streak at all? Dont think **

I think he has been weighing mid 140’s and wrestling 150

You're correct, he's near fully hydrated around 145, 141 will be easy**

You both are correct. As of today, it seems like Bo could make 141 easily
