This is a spectacular post…

Close - but going to need some more firepower as detailed above in order to have a solid shot at a Team Trophy… I think Sonny & Jimmy can do it BUT: 1) They need competition to push them. 2) They need training partners with different skill sets/tactics.. 3) Ideally at least augmenting Coach Haught - maybe a resident athlete heavy. 4) Jimmy appears to need to really dedicate to his craft - hoping Henson, Bo, Seidel can inspire/drive these guys on the cusp up another level. Diet & strength. Looks the same as he did as a true freshman. 5) Sonny gets in his own head. He adapted & didn’t just let people get to his legs & scramble on his end of season hot streak - then NCAAT he reverted (for some reason) back to that strategy & it cost him… 6) Assuming Burton goes 174 as Mole stated the other day. 157, 165 & 184 are potential portal options. Unless Gaj can add good/weight & strength and be as effective at 157 as he was at 149 (early last season he wasn’t as good at 157 as 149). And/or Noah can jump a level plus be an AA guy at 157/165 or needs another year to adjust. And I mean like a solid AA guy - they knew Seidel was going to be Top 4. There are going to be guys - especially one year guys - available here very shortly…. Go Hokies

I still think Church is a good option at 165. He showed good improvement

It may be a stretch, but man that opening round match with Bianchi could

It is all in how you define good option. If you mean a tough out

Agreed

Yes portal, if the staff wants to podium. Points for teams finishing 2-4

Why is 96 the magic number?

Mullen looks far away from being able to deliver like that. Good Sasso

I think the staff would consider him but is he available?

Not sure is Smith is available. That's been a rumor with no solid evidence.**
VTDante 03/31/26 01:23 PM ET
It will depend on who enters I would think
Hikinghokie 03/31/26 09:17 AM ET
I'm in agreement here I just don't know who is out there that improves us

Wonder if Joe Sealey looks for a new home?

The logjam at PSU middle weights is stout

With Melvin coming in, we're probably most appealing to a senior transfer**
