Interesting post regarding VT 133 next season over on IM...
AlderPeak posted the following:
___________________________________________
I think Seidel not making 133 next season is a serious consideration, albeit one not set in stone since that's six months away. But there's been rumors about a top 133 recruit possibly switching to VT (Nicholas Garcia) and he's one that could start next season as a true freshman if Seidel doesn't make weight. I think those rumors lend some credence to the thought that Dillon Campbell's injury concerns (neck) may still be a lingering issue come next season. Now, the Garcia thing could be completely separate from Seidel and Campbell and just be standard recruiting, but if you're Robie, why go after a flip this late in the ballgame unless you have a pressing need for next year? Curious to see if VT gets mentioned with 133 transfers, as well. Just the fact that they're sniffing around that weight could say something about Seidel's weight and Campbell's injury.
_____________________________________________________________________
Signing a 133 kid with a redshirt to use is the optimal scenario. The coaches would be able to delay a decision on Seidel until late Winter if needed while preserving a new signing's RS.
Nicholas Garcia fits Brian Swaw's tweet last week about a B1G recruit swapping a shade of Orange (Illinois) to that of an ACC school. The coaches could use Garcia early if necessary at Opens and Duals November/December while figuring out if Seidel can handle a cut.
Garcia will be a hell of a college wrestler.
Also, this is the first I've read that Dillon allegedly suffered a neck injury.

I didn't know DC's injury was neck, but did hear it was pretty bad.

That’s a tough injury to recover from for a wrestler
