The shrinking of NATO begins.
NO DEADLIFTING!!! NO (full court) PRESSING!

NATO MUST HIT THE WEIGHTS GENTLY !!!!
When MyMar won, there were some post hoc rationalizations which argued that Ryan's plan worked, but his plan clearly was to win Nationals that year and it failed because of something most objective observers caught onto very quickly - Hunter Stieber had no working elbows.
We'll see how it goes with NATO but he is already on record saying that being at 125 two years ago made him dislike the sport and took all the joy out of it.
Even with a strong NATO at 125 they aren't beating a healthy Penn State lineup. We'll see separation on that long Friday of Nationals when weight cutting really hits hard.
Suriano's motor vs a sucked down NATO. I'll take Nick.
NT did well wrestling at 125.6 at the US Open. I guess we'll see if he can handle the cut over a 15 week season.
I will take Nick all day...He is just as strong at Nato...Better match up than Nico if you watch the styles....
He did do well, and looked good doing it, but Its not the same as Div 1 grind of Nov to March.
I can't see NaTo making 125 from November until mid-March, without taking a hit on stamina or recovery or nagging injury.
It's just tough to picture.
Maybe Ryan will play his reindeer games with duals and only wrestle NaTo half the time, like he does with BoJo - try to keep them fresh and peaking in March.

157 will probably be like Iowa in 2011 at 133 with no clear front runner at the moment
I agree with that--in Tom Ryan's world wrestling duals is optional so maybe it's not really a question of making 125 from November until mid-March but rather just getting to 125 on a few key dates. On paper right now and barring injuries, NaTo going 125 is the only way Ryan can chase Penn State in March and so that's what he'll probably do.
I thought I read somewhere that Campbell is going down to 157.
Also, do we know for sure that Pletcher can get back down to 133? He didn't look like a small 141, although his build makes it a little tough to evaluate. I'm impressed by how some of the tOSU guys can go up a weight and look just as big at their new weight (NaTo and BoJo).
If the goal is to peak for a runner-up finish to a Penn Stater the BoJo plan should work just fine for Nato.
No matter what, if good health prevails Nato is not beating Nick.
Doubt I'll listen in...appreciate anything he says publicly...if you happen to hear, NYW'94. THANKS!!
Everything I've heard and seen suggests Campbells a 165, he wrestled 174 his first year at Pitt and Pletchers uncle visited our board a few times and pretty much said Luke is a 133
I'll do my best to let you guys know
We want you to be Ohio State's version of Spyker - the man "in the room" with the latest scoop.
Use of strategic all caps, while not de rigeur, would be appreciated
Haha I don't know if I could ever that over the top. Is his info actually credible btw?
It's true if he believes it's true. Isn't that all that matters in the end
Best I can tell you is, all joking aside...be true to yourself...brings you out better in the end. I could answer the credible question, but it wouldn't change a thing.
We will all wet our pants laughing if you tell Bo Jordan to dump his wife for being a distraction.
That's what Costanza says.It's true if he believes it's true. Isn't that all that matters in the end
If we got Cory Keener last week he will feel in great at 133...He is very tough !!!! Hoping RBY skips his Sr. year and comes to PSU this summer with Joe Lee too....
