How about Hunter Garvin to fill in for 1 yr at 165 till MM arrives?

Just heard Joey Blaze going to Portal. He's my new #1. Garvin #2 Thoughts?

I think Joey Blaze was April Fools. Garvin will be in Iowa.
Schubert from Oklahoma sounds like a realistic number 1 at 165. Even if Blaze is in the portal he'd be a heavy Buckeye lean but I think Paddy Gallagher is getting an extra year.

See that Bo Nickal took an assistant job at Iowa?
I thought possibly an April Fool's joke but it looks legit.

There is no way that's legit
I would love it though. He's very easy to root against.

IMO If there is a top-end wrestler available at a position of need for the
Oranges, then with the endless bag of cash they have, then 80% of the time that is where they are going to go. I can't imagine that Blaze goes anywhere but there. I would suspect that there were back channel conversations about how much a wrestler like that could get at the Oranges.

I don't think that's necessary
But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be awesome.

There's a rumor that Paddy for OH ST
Is trying to get a extra year of eligibility. If so. Maybe e'Than enters the portal? That could be fun

I do think we're discounting Desiante though
He really came on in the latter part of the season and won a couple matches at nationals. I think it really just took him a while to acclimate to a significantly tougher schedule. But it looked to me like he was figuring it out. I'd love to see him progress with us. Unfortunately, reality disagrees with me. Either Mac or Sergio are gonna get relegated to the bench. Though Sergio did look like a big 174...

Sergio at the end of the season was wrestling like I expected coming in
He could have made some noise with a better draw imo. I would much rather have him in the lineup than Church. Church is a tough out in duals and ACCs, but not an AA threat.

Is it confirmed yet if Bullock is gonna get another year?
Had a good end of season similar to sergio

I was told by very reliable sources that he has another year to wrestle.

He definitely has the year but not sure if he's going to use it
Just speculating on the second part I have no inside info

I say. Redshirt him a season.
Have Bullock this coming season at 84. Then when Carini comes in. He can redshirt while Sergio can wrestle his final season at 84

He doesn't have a RS to use
I think we look for a Brayden Thompson type who will be eligible beyond this year. We also have Rocha who may project at 184 - TBD.

Haven't even begun to think about guys being replaced by portal guys
Connor Euton will likely need a new home. Birden would be a great addition to the room. I need more chaos.
