That makes sense. In that case, we need to portal in a 165, IMO. For

whatever reason, we haven't been able to project that weight well in forever. Mac and Noah are great Hokies. Noah may end up being great and might even win the the spot outright, but 165 can't continue to be our go to weight for guys who can't win a spot at the other middle weights. With Burton at 174, if we can upgrade 164 and 184 (even if that upgrade is an improved Bullock), we've got a real shot at #2 overall and 10 AAs. Assuming Desiante can go another year, any chance he could get down to 165?

Exactly the type of guy I was thinking of

Can Nininger or Gaj be the 165 next year?**
UpperQuad • 03/10/26 02:09 AM ET
Nininger

I think Burton is slotted for 165... NN at 157 and CG redshirts**
Palmetto Hokie • 03/10/26 09:02 AM ET
Probably this. Burton getting back in at 165 would be ideal
goodbadugly • 03/10/26 09:17 AM ET
Burton will be 174 next year.
Sonyesman • 03/10/26 09:48 AM ET
Don’t think so.**

Not sure which part your “don’t think so” alludes to, but

I am game
Hokie Flyer • 03/09/26 08:21 PM ET
I would throw Nininger in the mix at 165, too.
VTDante • 03/09/26 06:20 PM ET
I doubt we lose them all, but I would be equally surprised if we kept all
Hikinghokie • 03/09/26 05:55 PM ET
Yeah. To the original post - good thoughts, but don’t put the

I don't think it's bad juju. More a sign of where we've come as a program
KillerMcCoy40 • 03/09/26 07:02 PM ET
The elite programs tend to keep guys to spend at least a year as a backup
