Mesenbrink aside, don't expect the kind of success Team USA had at U17s and U20s. This can't possibly be the best team we could have sent.

If he is wrestling 74kg+/- 163lb is there a chance, he may go to 157?

There's always a chance, but it is more likely that you are competing (seriously, not just off-season training) at a lower weight for this than you would during an NCAA season.

During a typical NCAA season, you have to make weight 20 to 25 times over the course of 6 months. Competing internationally you often have months between weigh-ins.

Non-zero, but probably Dumb and Dumber chance.

The best u23 wrestlers all either make the senior team or go U20s. Messenbrink is the only real exception of a guy making the team. Bouzakis and Cardenas have been world teamers before so they could be successful, and hopefully some other guys surprise us
