Will this team be better than this year and again break the record. I think so. It’s getting unfair. Added ono.
125 lilladahl
133 ono
141 blaze
149 van ness
157 kasak/ duke. Duke will be a title contender if they unleash him
165 messenbrink
174 Haines
184 ryder
197 Barr
285 mirasola probably only remotely weak spot.
Sealey Davis Nagao mirasola wont even make lineup. I would love to add Sealey or mirasola. David Taylor probably has the inside edge on any of these guys however.

It's been unfair for a while now. If that's their lineup:
133 - Replacing an AA (5th) with a world champ... slight question mark but worst case they'll have another AA. Probable upgrade, potentially major upgrade.
141 - Replacing an AA that scores roughly zero bonus with the best high school prospect since Gable... not handing a title to Blaze but I think he's top 4 minimum and will score more bonus.
184 - Replacing a 5x champion with a likely AA. Downgrade here.
285 - Replacing an AA (6th) with a potential AA. I'll call this a slight downgrade, but I think Mirasola is probably an AA so maybe a wash.
All told, if they stay healthy and don't lose anyone to D.T., they could break their record again.

Also Haines will bet the heavy favorite. Upgrade
Kasak van ness and Lilladahl probably all place higher.

Feldman struggles with the larger 285. and think Mirasola will do the same.

Ono is obviously amazing but just curious how he translates to wrestling on the mat. D1 College wrestlers are hammers on top. A skill set he will need to gain.
Not saying he will struggle, but it's a real thing.

Brian…do you really think it’s “unfair”? Does Penn State break any rules or do things that tOSU and other programs can’t do?

Dude lighten up a little I think he was just making a joking comment about it being unfair. You are starting to live up to your yappi screen name.

I think he will take a couple L's 0 -- but not many because he's freaky good at freestyle (but finishing in folk at that level, is insanely hard) and PSU only wrestles like 20 times a season before B1G's.

Unfair in the colloquial sense.

I'm interested to see what they do up top. Welsh and Ryder should battle it out for 184. I had been assuming Barr would drop to 184 to clear room for both Mirasolas at 197 & 285, now maybe he stays up with Welsh being at 184.
