O Connor was injured last year , he would be considered the favorite if he is healthy this year imo. The question is how good is paddy Gallagher?He was also injured as Tom Ryan said. Sasso would absolutely I believe be better at 157 then he is at 149. It’s a tough weight cut and a tougher weight class at 149 . Paddy Gallagher is a former number one p4p recruit. Theses kind of kids do not sit the bench. Bumping sasso up could cause friction with the Gallagher camp. It is hard to say what to do. Do you risk losing a high profile recruit? The version of paddy was not that impressive last year. In high school he was beating facundo( who penn staters are very high on)and majoring manguia and fields who were nationally ranked. Last year he barely beat fields and lost to a high schooler. It was very clear that paddy was not the same paddy than he was the year before. If paddy is 100 percent and is a real AA threat sasso stays down. Once smith and Romero graduate I see everyone moving up for the next season. So hopefully this year 149 sasso and 157 paddy then the following year 133 bouzakis 141 Mendes 149 demilio 157 sasso 165 paddy 174 kharchla 184 welsh 197 Geog 285 Feldman.

I guess I don’t see the need to compromise.
If Sasso wins a title at 157, I’m almost certain the Bucks will have scored more points at the NCAA tournament than if he wrestled 149 and did not win.

Sasso best finish at 149 is 2nd
Sasso best finish at 157 is 1st.
Decatur who would probably be the best default at 149 is dnp
Gallagher best finish at 157 I feel is way more than decatur at 149. He could be top 5 if he’s the high school guy everyone thought he would be.
I will gaurentee a sasso/ Gallagher scores more than a Decatur/sasso.
It will absolutely be a difference in team points. It will probably be zero points or 1 at 149 if he bumps up. I feel like Gallagher can at least score 6-10 minimum if he’s healthy like Tom Ryan expects.
Ryan says sasso is staying at 149 for the team. Everyone understand the most points at ncaas is with sasso at 149 and he admits sasso is basically sacrificing to make the best possible team. After this year everything opens up.

Nick, if Sasso goes to 157 the void in the lineup is likely at 141 with D’Emilio moving up to 149.
If that happens, my guess is we’ll see Bouzakis or Mendez. Or maybe Decatur.
Regardless, a guaranteed NCAA title is OSU’s best path to a trophy. The big points are scored on Friday night and Saturday night. A low AA finish doesn’t contribute very much.
