Quote from Nick Lecklider's post:

"Mills is the top 126 pounder in the nation in high school. You wrestle him if he’s the best man at whatever weight. Look at guys like chris cannon and Dylan ragusin who are not even close the wrestlers they used to be at the beginning of their careers. Best man wrestles.
People think Davino shouldn’t and wouldn’t go 141. Not sure why
133 return blaze, Forrest, Larkin, Seidel, Zugitt, frost
141 returns Vega (1-1 career against) stanich, Bailey, Davis/nagao
I’m taking option B and it helps team
Wrestle mills/bouzakis 125/133"

People think Davino should go 133 because he is not a very big guy and would likely be undersized for 141. I think it's a lot more likely that Blaze or Forrest or both eventually move up as they are rangier and seem to have more room to grow. My thought on Mills is by the time he will redshirt next year with Bouzakis at 125 and Davino at 133 (with McCrone and Kilkeary providing a lot of depth if they stick around). If Mills can still make 125 then he will likely challenge there but that will be 2 years from now and he will likely grow. As you mentioned we will also have other options at 125.

Geog is your guy this year at 197. Don't want or need Endene. Geog likely places this year; all depends on the consolation bracketing and who he is matched up against in the round of 12.
He has offense and can score against anyone. He can beat Rademacher and McDanel. He has enough offense. His attacks and reshots are excellent. He has been making steady improvements. He needs a couple more excellent habits. I like Shumate a lot but he doesn't have the same type of offense. If you have an excellent offense and are disciplined with your hands, you can beat anyone on the feet. Braxton Amos almost earned his signature win but when he fatigued, so did his hand discipline and foot movement. Geog just needs more hand fighting discipline, and he beats those two aforementioned wrestlers on a regular basis.

My assumption is Blaze and kid from VT move to 141 next year and Vega goes to 149.
Blaze has international interest and wrestling 133 next year when he is going to wrestle 65kg in freestyle won’t help prepare to wrestle bigger guys.
