Per Willie Nic is listed as other at 125 for probably lineups for National Duals.

Wrestlestat and pat mineo are reporting the same. Bouzakis if can make the weight healthy would be huge.

Quite literally huge.
Knowing that he's had some weight discipline issues in the past, I'm skeptical how this plays out for a full season.

I think the key word would be "healthy". I remember when Colt Sponseller moved down to 157, it was a mistake so back to 165 he went. Seems like the most success comes when a guy moves up in weight i.e. Keaton Anderson & Nick Heflin to name a few.

Ive doubted this since Pyles started throwing it out there, but if he is functional, it could be fun. His strength at 125 would be a real problem, I just worry about more mental lapses with a steep cut like that. His decision making can be questionable at times. I generally love nothing more than a guy that let's it fly though, so bring it on.

First he'd have to beat out Kilkeary and McCrone. Those are two top twenty talents and more suited for the weight.
I'm a Nic Bouzakis fan. He's a killer when he's on and behaves respectfully at all times. I just think he's a better freestyler and would rather see him transfer or focus solely on making a world team.

If NATO can do it I suppose anyone can. That was a drop of a lot of muscle.

Wonder if Nic has plans of going 57kg in the future so working down.
I know weigh ins are different but just a thought.

What’s more surprising? The fact that he is trying to make 125, or the fact that he is seemingly forfeiting the chance to start at 133. 125 is an absolute pipe dream. That aside, in folk style is there that much bigger of a difference between what McCrone has given the team versus Bousakis? I could make a strong argument that he has been more consistent. Nic drops head scratchers.

Buckeye recruit #1 Waters looked impressive at Who's #1 tonight.

So did Waters’ Faith Christian teammate Singer, a Buckeye target. He won 12-5 over top ranked Jeter.
Munaretto got reversed to his back and pinned.

Tom Ryan seems to direct wrestlers in a certain direction based upon what he believes to be in the best interests of the lineup. We have a lot of evidence that shows this will not go well.

Hank, probably the Bouzakis to 125 experiment fails, but what’s the downside in trying? It’s his only option to make the lineup.
Imagine if the Bucks had signed Marcus Blaze. Not only would Bouzakis be squeezed out of 133 but so too would Ben Davino.
I’m excited for the season. This is a very experienced roster with the potential to win national duals.
