Interesting exercise, but IMO way too many moving parts to try to project that far out.
Some more specific comments:
- Believe Cortez will be at 141 from here on out. Hence the rumors about Keener possibly transferring to PSU, to fill in at 133. Also means that Nick Lee will likely redshirt his first year.
- Since Cortez will be at 141, Teasdale or RBY wrestles as a true frosh at 133.
- Don't see Cortez, Nick Lee, and Verk all in the lineup at the same time, as it's likely three guys battling for two spots (141 and 149).
- Speaking of Nick Lee, he is oddly missing in 2019-20.
- You have Manville (already a gray shirt) taking a standard red shirt followed by an Olympic redshirt. That's three consecutive "shirt" years before ever competing for PSU. Possible, but hard to imagine, and would probably be some sort of record.
- Three other guys (Berge, Wittlake, Joe Lee) taking a gray shirt followed by a redshirt. Seems pretty darn unlikely, especially since none has been rumored to defer enrollment at PSU.
- Prior to landing Verk, I figured Berge would replace Retherford at 149 and then move up to 157 the following year to replace Nolf. Still think that is the most likely scenario, except now Berge and Verk fight it out to replace Retherford in 2018-19.
- Can't ever see Hall at 184. More likely that Wittlake slides into 184 as a RS freshman (no gray shirt).
- Don't see Busiello until 2022-23. Where is he stashed away for 3 years?
These various comments/questions tend to reinforce my opinion that this is a fruitless exercise. Plus, chances are that a couple guys transfer out. Good message board stuff though.
