Quote from Jeff Streu's post:
"I agree that Jordan Decatur would be better off at 141. I saw him at a few opens this past year and it always seemed like he was running from scale to scale trying to make weight at the last minute. I'd hate to see him do that for three more years. We all know cutting weight hurts one's longevity in the sport, and I'd like to see him in it for the long run, as he is a talented freestyler. That being said, if his goal is the big stage it's going to have to be at 65 kg, since I doubt he could make 57 kg and compete effectively under today's weigh-in rules. 141 would be much better suited for 65 kg.

Scott: Good points. Regardless I think Decatur has to go 133. Bucks need a lineup with Echemendia and Sasso and that means 141 is probably occupied.

There is no question you recruit where the talent is but with Figueroa at 113 and Gonzales at 106, they seem like a big risk to produce another talented but undersized 125.

125 is the absolute toughest weight class to recruit and and maintain regardless of school (unless your Iowa). I can’t think of any school that has established and sustained success like the Hawks at 125. To further that point look no further then who the Bucks have brought in over the last 15 years. Tomasello is the most accomplished lightweight in OSU history, and he was the second highest rated guy to come to OSU. Triggas was the most highly touted coming out of high school And managed only one AA finish. Both were thought to be career 125s, but even NATO defected to a higher weight for a year. Jose Rodriguez was rated roughly about the same as Malik, but couldn’t maintain the weight. I think the point is largely that staffs garner a greater return on their investment by recruiting depth to account for guys moving up. That’s why you bring in guys like Jacob Decatur who may end up being a one year starter down the road. Really if you think about it, lighter weight kids are probably guys who are still likely growing and maturing into their 20s, unlike many of the upper weights.

Jared, not sure what rankings you're looking at but Triggas wasn't the HS competitor that NATO was. If I recall, Triggas took some bad losses his senior season. Tomasello smoked everyone.

Gavin Hoffman and his try at 184 and 285. He is now moving back to his more natural weight of 197, while gaining strength and confidence.

Given Singletary's past injury record, and Orndorf & Traub at 285, I would rather see Hoffman zero in at 197.

Good article. Great depth in the upper weights with tOSU at least 2 deep with elite guys from at 285, 197, and possible 184 (if Karchla cant make 165 and the loser of him and Romero compete with Rocky at 184). When it's said and done I think it ends up:

Scott, I agree with your assessment of the top half of the lineup. However, at the beginning of last season Ryan opted for Jordan at 174 over Romero. I understand that Rocky did win their wrestle off, but it was obvious after a few matches that Kaleb was wrestling at a higher level. I Don’t think it’s a secret that Coach REALLY wants Jordan in the lineup. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Fact is they are all on the eligibility clock, so I would expect to see them all over the course of the season. Of course there will be the odd man out come tournament time.

On another message board a person who was in on a donor conference call said that Coach Ryan told them Kharchla was wrestling off Smith at 165 with the loser wrestling off Romero at 174. If that's true, I see this year's lineup as follows:
