So…what is our ultimate top ACC lineup this ACC/NCAA season
Seems to be a lot of depth at certain weights & no real starter at some weights too

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

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. 🎶 Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades! 😎

I think he has been weighing mid 140’s and wrestling 150
He obviously burns crazy calories with his workouts but think 141 is doable at least one year Take that with a grain of salt because I’m eating Ben and Jerry chunky monkey ice cream

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
But a sudden growth spurt could make next year a completely different story. Let’s just wait and see. Up until now, it sure seems like Bo and his Dad have done everything right by prioritizing development over (cutting weight) wins. I’m confident that will continue.

I think consistent success is a source of pride
And 3+ AAs is a nice benchmark for success. Less than 3 AAs would be disappointing because that's a disappointing tournament moreso than because of any streak ending. I know we're going all in on next year, but we still want to win this year.

Gotta keep end goal in mind
Trophies. Point blank period. Sacrificing this year for multiple trophies is worth it,

Even if we are strategic and prioritize next season and beyond, I would be
disappointed if we can’t get 3 AAs out of 125, 133, 197, and HWT if all four of those guys are healthy. So, even if we RS Seidel, Gaj and Burton, I think we have 4 AA caliber guys bookending our lineup, and we have a couple in the middle that could make a run if things break their way.

I think so--our written material and coaches reports always....
point to our 3AA since 2013 with great pride, demonstrating a top level, consistent program!!

It’s good marketing at the least
