Why year after year does it appear that they make there wrestlers cut more extreme amounts of weight than other programs or is it just a myth?
 
Some Harry Potter fans put an Anorexia Nerviosa spell on them. :)

It's overblown. Like most programs, they have guys move around to get into the lineup.

We're having a lot of laughs at Wittlake's cut this year, but if he's a natural 174 (he was 170 in his HS SR year) and that's where the coach's 2x AA son is, then he's dropping. And it can't be too extreme, still has to be within NCAA weight mgmt rules.

Geer is not a hard cut to 197. Montalvo probably isn't at 184, nor Smith at 174. Fix is wrestling 57 kg freestyle, so 133 folk should be OK. Brock was apparently up a weight at 141 last year to make room for Fix.
