OKST moves up from 14th to 10th in returning points.
Bad news for Perennial Top Ten Rutgers.
If he's 174, what happens to Thompson? Wasn't he a top 10 recruit? He had his moments as a true freshman this year, so I doubt they're giving up on him. I guess he could redshirt.
If Hamiti goes 174, then OKST still needs a 165 to replace Olejnik.
If that's Travis, then they need a 157.
Can Thompson get down to 165? What is his history? Was he bumped up due to Izzy or is he a more natural 174?
According to Track, he wrestled 170 in 2022 in Illinois before transferring to Stilly High.
He had 2 matches on Track last year, both at 190. That's too small a sample set. OKST listed him as a 182 in their commitment announcement.
He did not compete at 2022 or 2023 Fargo.
Ok, sounds like he probably needs to redshirt then pick which of 174 or 184 he wants since both Hamiti and Plott will be gone after this year.
I suggest you listen to the entire clip again. Begins around 1:25.

He looks big for 165, all year I thought he looked like a 174, now everyone states he registered at 157!
If he goes 157 he's gotta look like "that guy" that wears a medium T-shirt but really needs an XL.
Smith had a lot of time between matches. Now we see how he kept busy at NCAAs.
Hopefully Bob spends even more of his money this year on transfers than he did last year.
I like that he pays to have PSU beat Iowa by over 100 points...

Wait, did the NCAA already rule on the petition from Smith and a few other coaches to establish a "masters" category for next year so they could bring back Fix and others of his generation?
Man, I hope he threw money down that Ferrari rathole
He did, 4-0 record against him I believe. Horwath and Gilcher just had terrible redshirt seasons. Just odd, guess we’ll see next year
He should fill 157 for them.
Would guess their lineup looks something like this
125: Transfer
133: Ragusin
141:Cannon
149:Gilcher
157: Saldate
165: Amine
174: Mantanona
184: Bullock
197: Rodgers
285: Transfer

Lemley shirting?
Also, if they don't get a transfer HWT, I wouldn't be surprised if Walters bumps up. He wrestled 220 his HS SR year and was good there -- won Super 32.
interesting the Spartan would go to Wolverines.. pretty good school rivalry or animosity there...
Rumor has it that Saldate was convinced to go to Michigan by several former Presidents and a famous "athlete". Jackson, Grant but mostly Olympic level kite-flyer Ben Franklin....lotsa Franklins.

Willie said Lemley wanted to shirt but wrestled because Cannon got hurt and Michigan wanted the points. No clue how true that is obviously. Also feel like he could use the shirt to develop a little
Either Willie is wrong about that or you misunderstood. Ragusin (not Lemley) was actually shirting this year, and it was pulled when Cannon got hurt.
I agree it probably will be Horwath of they can’t get a transfer but he went 2-6 again as d1 comp and 5-6 overall as a redshirt and didnt compete second semester. I have a feeling they will look for a guaranteed point scorer unless something was going on they and he is expected to be back to form
Willie says in his top stories to watch in the offseason that 1. Ragusin is the one who came out of redshirt for Cannon. 2. He says that Cannon is expected to return this year and Ragusin still has the redshirt if he wants it. 3. He then says about Lemley “THE TRUE FRESHMAN wanted to redshirt but came out due to Cannon’s injury”. I think both can be true. That Cannon getting injured was the cause for both redshirts getting pulled
President Franklins?Rumor has it that Saldate was convinced to go to Michigan by several former Presidents. Jackson, Grant and mostly Franklins.....
I know Willie is as connected as they get but that doesn't add up seeing how Ragusin got Cannon's points back? I buy that they wanted his points but shouldn't have any correlation with Cannon getting hurt (unless they were trying to bulk Ragusin up?)
This, plus Horwath didn't exactly face murderer's row while going 2-6. He faced one NQ (pinned by 26 seed West). Got majored by Kilkeary. One other guy with a winning record (lost to Pitt's shirting FR Chappell, who went 11-7 at opens).
Which means he went 2-3 against wrestlers with losing records.
Even if he were injured, gotta think Michigan will look for an import. If they're unsuccessful, then Horwath is probably the starter.
If Oky St needs a 165 lber, wouldn't they be looking at 184 guys in the portal?
I'm gathering that he may have done so. I feel so bad for Bob. 🥱
Horwath undeniably struggled and didn't get good results as a redshirt, but that's not unheard of, either. He was a pretty high recruit. I doubt they're going to recruit over him after one struggling season as a redshirt, unless maybe it's someone who is a finals contender (no idea who, though).
I was thinking a 1-yr rental, to give him another year to get back on track.
Yeah, sometimes guys have bad first years. But how many of them were that bad? And of those, how many then turn it around the very next year?
