That’s a stretch..

It’s very difficult for an upper weight to come in and make an immediate impact as a freshman. Carini didn’t place and while he kept the match close he couldn’t take Burton down. A win is a win and loss is a loss. There are no moral victories in wrestling. That being said, he’s young and will be a great asset for VT to have in the room. Hard to get excited about someone who might not see the mat for us for another two years. Hopefully he signs in November because he’s only verbally committed at this point.

I also want my Georgia guy Gorman to squeeze into the lineup.
HOKIE MAGIC • 04/28/26 08:24 AM ET
He was super impressive this weekend imo
Hikinghokie • 04/28/26 10:20 AM ET
It looked like he had a good tournament for an unseeded guy**
UpperQuad • 04/28/26 08:35 AM ET
Agreed. Been trying to come up with a way to work him in with AS,BB,CG, NN**
Palmetto Hokie • 04/28/26 08:30 AM ET
I thought someone else mentioned that Carini got dinged up too.**
dallasvt • 04/27/26 04:29 PM ET
Dang... I was impressed with him too, but didn't realize he wa committed**
Palmetto Hokie • 04/27/26 02:44 PM ET
He really should transfer but I think he gives it until MM is gone

When you say heck of a 165-lber for someone, I can think of someone who

He's the top 175 guy in high School per Flo. Why are some talking about him
1979HOKIERED • 04/27/26 03:49 PM ET
They are talking about Joe Sealey ....
hokietony • 04/27/26 04:15 PM ET
Sealey can go either 157 or 165 but both spots are filled at PSU **
donjfs3 • 04/27/26 07:33 PM ET
Exactly Joe Sealey -he just wrestled 74KGs at the US Open which is 163lbs…**
