It's their Big Ten wrestling schedule and features a pic of Sam Sasso. I have no idea how he'll fare at 165 but it looks to me like there's a plan in place. I love watching Slam man and am so excited to see him compete again.

I would think this eliminates the thoughts of Carson to 65.

But imagine the wrestling universe going nuts at the thought of a Kharchla v Sasso wrestle off?
Without having any idea about the situation, I think Sasso to 157 makes more sense with Paddy possibly moving up to 165. But maybe there are medical reasons why the Bucks are floating the idea of him moving up to 165?
One interesting note: The Bucks website no longer lists wrestlers by weight class. You can click on the wrestler to see where he's likely to go but you can't just scroll down and see a list of who's listed at which weight.

Wonder if Sasso is going 165 to protect his body. It’s been through a lot and will endure further strain by cutting weight. Speculation on my part, but it makes sense.
165 won’t be handed to Sasso. Sitting here today, I’d be surprised if he’s the Bucks’ representative at the Big 10 tournament. Hepner returns and was successful for much of last season.

I'm hoping Sammy pulls a "Nick Heflin" and moves up two weight classes and has a successful final year.

Nick Helfin was .9 seconds away from winning a national title against a game J'Den Cox.
What a game plan. What execution! What a match!!!
