I don't know if this was already talked about and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about if IMAR would bump up to take on Mark Hall? Could this be what Cael was referring to? Would be exciting!!!
 
No. That wouldn't make sense for either wrestler.

Cael was referring to the new pink and black singlets that will be worn on Sunday. I believe this is in addition to some promotional giveaways.
 
I mentioned it in the wild speculation thread, but it was nothing more than a crazy thought that nobody else had put forth. It would be interesting, but it would make no sense. Joseph will be challenging enough, and I think the style matchup will be plenty exciting.

I cant remember a single time in recent memory where someone bumped up a weight to take on an opponent. It just doesnt happen much at this level.

Seems to me that a number of possibilities were discussed in relation to what CS was implying, and we were inferring. In terms of what you speculated on, how does that help the Illini? Their backup at 165 would likely be smoked by Joseph. IMar is a special talent, but if you wrestle him at 174 against Hall then you're taking Zac Brunson out of the lineup for them. Seems like a net negative move for the Illini to me. Plus there are also the weight descent issues that could be introduced by such a move, and that's not something any team wants to be messing around with on the last weekend of the regular season duals (excluding the National Duals next weekend).

^^ This is what CS was hinting about, without spelling out.
 
Martinez isn't bumping up to face Nickal or Nevills either.

Nor is Nolf bumping up to face Brunson.

Nor is Delgado bumping up to face his own ego.
 
When did this board turn into a conspiracy theory? Nobody is bumping up and nobody is dropping down a weight.

Come on, guys.
