Nice job Bucks. Now what about 174? Ethan Birden?

I refuse to believe Kharchla is coming back nor do I think he should.

I agree with you about Kharchla. Time to hang it up. Probably past time.

Kharchla it’s being reported on another site is coming back. He is wrestling the us open also. He is the best option the buckeyes have. He did beat fourth place Kennedy pretty easily twice and took Haines to the wire. Would love to see him end on a good note in a pretty weak weight class.

I have to agree with you Nick, what other options do they have at 174? Unless Birden takes a giant leap forward, who is there?

I’ve seen a few post on other sites suggesting Paddy is going 174

Here is my spitball right now, the lineup that I think is best for the team. All based on rumors on speculation.

125: Bouzakis Preseason rank:10
133: Davino Preseason rank: 3
141: Mendez Preseason rank: 1
149: Stiles Preseason rank: 6
157: Gallagher Preseason rank: 11
165: Cannon Preseason rank: 6
174: Kharchla Preseason rank: 6
184: Shumate: Preseason rank: 8
197: Geog Preseason rank: 10
285: Feldman Preseason rank: 3

Team: 5

Side note: If Fishback trasnfers to Columbus as there is some speculation I think he slides into 184. I'd rank him 7 at the moment.

Brandon Cannon will be in there somewhere is my guess

That's a very strong dual lineup, even if the Bouzakis 125 experiment doesn't pan out.

I believe Chittum wants to RS and heal up and that has been mutually agreed upon. I’m not sure I see it but that’s the rumor.

Cannon will supposedly be the 165.

Could Birden wrestle 157?

LOL, yes. For some reason I was thinking Cannon was redshirting and not Chittum. Total overlook on my end.

I'll edit.

Adding Cannon, based on my error, I don't yet think Birden cracks the lineup especially if Kharchla returns, as speculated.

Just my humble opinion. No way should Bouzakis wrestle 125. He was a good sized 133 and cutting to 125 is going to be disastrous. If anything he should wrestle his natural weight. I think about how Nick Heflin many years ago was a shell of himself at 174. Then when he wrestled his natural weight at 197 he was a beast and nearly won a national title. Multiple other examples but that one stands out.

Mark, you’re not wrong but 125 is likely Nic’s only option to make the lineup.

He's not a 125. I'm still on Team Kilkeary/McCrone
