Who's starting at 165 this season?

[Cali_Nittany]

Ok, after incessant demands from @jtothemfp and @RoarLions1 , here's the 165 poll.

Can Cenzo make the cut back down from 200 again? Will Mason Manville finally crack the starting line-up or will he be redshirting as part of his quest for Olympic Greco glory? I threw Mark Hall on this one as well just because that was actually a thing last off-season. And don't forget about Joe Lee. And maybe even the other Bo. Or the mysterious wrestler to be named later.

Fwiw, Willie's article in June had Starocci as a possibility at 165 this year. This is what he wrote:

"Don't let it break your brain if Cenzo goes 174. It's a real possibility being discuss(ed) and it makes sense based on both Starocci's chances at 165 and the mass exodus that will occur at 174 this year. I'll leave that as a tease and write a 165/174 insanity breakdown at a later date."

Pipher is cradling the Bull

Okay, I'm sticking with Surprise Transfer. I know he has a strange name, but he's really an unknown, so every time he wins, everyone will yell, "SURPRISE!"

Might as well just add a weight per day, since it’s already started?

So are we supposed to yell “TRANSFER” when he loses?

There is no evidence that those fine gentlemen do any inappropriate acts with family members. None.

Dakota Geer.

Wait, wrong team. Never mind.

Ok I have to admit....i voted for Cenzo for both 74 and 65

Not sure why, perhaps my strategy was one of them would have to be right

Jason Renteria needs a spot and could probably make the cut
Todrank working on extra year?
Ritchie Lewis doing anything? He says he's pretty good.

Poor Renteria. Recruited over at Iowa like 20 times.

I voted Cenzo. Until I hear otherwise I have to assume Cenzo and Hall are staying put. Although it would certainly be interesting to see those guys move weights (or swap weights).

 

[diggerpup]

Instead of Hall, wouldn’t Manville actually be the most-likely PSU wrestler to OLY RS this season ?? (Greco).

yes

 

[jtothemfp]

yes

Having the fewest barriers to actually being the U.S. Oly Starter is often conflated with Most Likely to Redshirt.

But on the internet it says.....

Quick reminder that on the Modern Internet, you don't *have* to assume last year's status quo to repeat until you hear otherwise. Part of the fun of the offseason is the speculation.

And now this.

And now this.

Lol

How likely to see a cenzo-hall weight flop? I think hall to 74kg is gaining more traction, it even looked liked he was shrinking down this summer during freestyle. Though 65 might be a tough hold all season.
