We return 142 points next year ***

Anyone have a list of other teams' higher end redshirted wrestlers who will be around in 2018?

Just trying to get an idea of some additions to re weight classes.

Off the top of my head, all I can think of are:

Jason Tsirtsis - Arizona St 49/57?
Chad Red - Nebraska 41?
Adam Coon - Michigan HWT
Bull Marinelli - Iowa 165

scUM also has Abonader, Pantaleo, Sutton coming back from RS.....they will be loaded next year.

I love me some Nick Lee but 141 is going to be brutal, I think Dicamillo is the only one graduating. I wonder if they redshirt Lee? They certainly do not need his points. Although considering he is training nearby already sounds like he wants to go right out of the gate. I rewatched his match with Redd not to long ago, what a match!!

I don't think it's a reach to think Lee might advance more during the year in the Penn State room than Redd did in the Nebraska room. If he is the best in the room and doesn't want to redshirt, I'd say to let him go at it.

Just realized that Tsirtsis was a redshirt in 2012-2013.. sixth year senior. Much wow

I have no inside information, but with Lee graduating early from HS and moving to SC and being in the room, my guess is that we are looking at his unofficial redshirt right now.

Sounds right, They will probably eye the Point record for next season and barring injury that team could do it!!! Nick lee will be in the AA mix...To be honest my biggest question mark next season will be Cortez at 133. I am excited to see Cutch (who was awesome this year) ,Cassar and Rasheed go after it for 197...Iron will sharpen Iron, and yes I am predicting Rasheed will be in the mix at 197

George Carpenter and Triston Law will both improve next year, just in case. I think they qualify for Nationals if Jered cannot go.
 
Getting all 5 champs will be a tall order, but additional scoring from 125 and 133 will make us even harder to beat.

I'm not sure we will be improved at 141 or 197, but with the guys in the room we should be competitive again.
197 should be interesting with Cutch having another year to add muscle and the hopeful return of Cassar. Cox, Pharr and Studebaker gonzo.
 
I doubt they rush Nick Lee onto the mat as a scorer. He can wrestle opens and the scuffle and see if he is completely ready- the points are not needed barring two major injuries. Luxury of having 9 studs at the other weights. I hope they let him keep the shirt on and compete for a title the following year. It will help ease the pain of losing Zain the following year. Plus I don't want to miss out on the "pull Lee's shirt or we are screwed threads."
