OSU shuffling weights

[GogglesPaizano]

It's the current lead story on Flo, John Smith is shuffling as many as three guys moving them down in weight. I just thought it's curious that it's now February and you've got these guys doing big late-season cuts right before the tournaments.

Cael of course has the opposite view that wrestling nearer your ideal natural weight seems to deliver better results especially in terms of stamina for the tourneys. I believe this is one key element (of many) in PSU's secret sauce.

Why do these other programs keep playing with fire and seeing it deliver poor results especially in the late rounds of the Nationals?

Cheeseburger Smith wont be dropping. He will battle it out at 174 with jacobe.

We will make the move for Dakota Geer to move down to 84, and Jacobe Smith down to 174, and somebody's gonna have to fight it out at 65 or 74....

Note to elite recruits:


Don’t sign with the Pokes unless if you want to starve for 4-5 years & have your body break down every March.

Alex Deringer disagrees. These guy moved up when 197 was hurt, so they are just going back to their normal weights.

And not even that till the Big 12 qualifying tournament (3 and a half weeks). Good thing the NCAA ditched the February 15 deadline!!
