Ben Davino to Ohio State

[Random4598375]

My guess is that Mendez redshirts next year to give them 3 years of Davino-Bouzakis-Mendez in the lightweights.

I'd be surprised if Davino could hold 125 for 3 years, but certainly not out of the realm of possbility.

Yikes, Davino, Bouzakis, Mendez...

We might start every dual vs tOSU for the next 3 years down 18-0

I stand corrected. Every dual with them we will be down 19-0 after the 1 penalty point from Cael throwing a chair in frustration.

Alas, It's a good thing the NCAA doesn't award 7 points for first period pins.

If we get Lilledahl, how do you think he will stack up against them?

I like where you're going with this.

tOSU honestly has the most interesting lineup situation going into next year IMO
125: Kilkeary is probably the favorite but I could see Gonzales or McCrone getting the gig
133: Mendez vs Bouzakis? My expectation is Mendez RS and Bouzakis is the starter
141 D'emilio is the favorite, but if they do a lineup bump he could move up or get squeezed out (by Mendez)
149: Sasso returns as the favorite at 49 unless he chooses to bump up
157:Gallagher most likely, unless something weird happens with Hepner or Sasso bumps
165:This is where it gets really weird again, I think most likely outcome is Hepner 65 and Kharcala moves up to 74 but TBD
174: Kharcala if he moves up, if not I would assume Welsh is the guy
184: Probably Shumate but there are tons of possibilities, including Welsh as a 184
197:Hoffman
285:Feldman
This is genuinely a very solid team, where every weight other than 125, 184 and probably 157 are AA contenders.
For 2025 I would assume it will be Davino or Kilkeary at 25, Bouzakis at 33, Mendez 41, D'EMilio 49 and then the lineup holds other than 197 if Welsh goes as a true frosh, if not someone gets bumped out/ someone moves up to 197

Rogotzke could end up starting at 184? Geog will challenge Hoffman at 197. Lots can happen, but I can see them figuring out how to keep Davino and Kilkeary both happy between RS years and lineup shifts. Is Kilkeary a lifetime 125?

If Kilkeary wants to move up, he has Bouzakis and/or Mendez to beat out instead of Davino, which isn't really any more enticing.

Geog looked good in the one match I saw him wrestle.
