PRE-Preseason


base

Recommended Posts

Schools are starting to go back in session, this can mean only one thing -- WRESTLING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!

 

Some very talented returning people -- there are going to be some very fun weight classes to keep an eye on this season.  I know Joe's Preseason mag will be the bible of scouting for the season, but let's get some names going and guesses on what weights people may fall.

 

106 -  I'm guessing that Reitz, Egli and a few others move up.  Wow, this weight class could still be loaded, and this is not even mentioning the incoming freshmen

Paul Konrath

Alec White

Drew Hildebrandt

Breyden Bailey

Colton Cummings

Jack Franklin

Blake Glogouski

Nicholas Weaver

Alex Grino

 

113 - Can Pepple stay down at this weight?  If so, I would say he's the man to beat

Jeremiah Reitz

Will Egli

Garrett Pepple

Jason Crary

Hunter Langeloh

Boone Welliever

Eddie Loraine

John Becker

Kyle Luigs

 

120 - This is where things really start to get crazy.  Who will stay at the weight class? Will some fight to stay away from Red at 26?

Tyler Ferguson

Cornelius Elliott

Skylour Turner

Austin Holmes

Connor Knapp

Brendan Black

Brad Laughlin

Austin Slates

Trezdon O'Neal

Eugene Starks

Gaige Torres

Ben Cauffman

Tyler Flood

Alston Jenkinson

Caleb Bocock

 

 

126 - Chad Red is the prohibitive favorite here, but so many questions.  Will LaHue move here for a rematch?  What about Brock Hudkins, can he spoil Chad's dreams of being a 4-timer.  This is a LOADED weight class

Chad Red

Bailey LaHue

Brock Hudkins

Matt McKinney

Alex Johnson

Riley Akers

Sawyer Miller

Griffin Schermer

Tony Vaughn

Hunter Baehl

Morgan Pruitt

Quinton Harris

Austin Bethel

Dakota Cole

Taylor Wright

 

 

 

132 - Another LOADED weight class.  Will this be Nick Lee's year to win the title?  Will Brandon James finally win a well-deserved state title?

Nick Lee

Brandon James

Jack Chastain

Elliott Molloy

Josh Davis

Evan Eldred

Devin Childers

Austin Ward

Tanner Shipley

Kyle Todrank

Joel McGhee

Nick Ellis

Johnny Loos

Alston Bane

 

138 - Maybe James will move up to 138.  Where is Cash going to go this year?  I'm just guessing that Tommy moves up to 45.  Covaciu was really impressive at state last year, can he maintain 38 and make a run at the title?  Drew Hughes is another contender here and beat Covaciu at semistate last year.  This may end up being one of the most wide-open weight classes

Drew Hughes

Blake Jourdan

Sam Lovejoy

Jake Ruberg

Cael McCormick

Jacob Covaciu

Steven Lawrence

Mitch Anderson

Jordan Vaughn

Stephen Kitko

Adam Oyler

Jared Timberman

 

145 - Cash only beat Pruitt by one point at semi state last year....

Tommy Cash

Trent Pruitt

Kellen Van Camp

Ethan Briggeman

Brett Johnson

 

152 - Forte looks to be a heavy favorite at whatever weight he decides to go

Tommy Forte

Ben Harvey

Josh German

Elijah Dunn

CJ Damler

 

160 - Another potentially wide open weight class, depending who falls where.  This could be an exciting mix of young and old talent to watch

Darden Schurg

Bryce Baumgartner

Conner James

Isaiah Kemper

Jacob Gray

Derek Noon

Breighton Mullinix

Garrett Wilson

Nick Brickens

 

170 - Yet another wide open weight class.  Could be some in-season jockeying between 160 and 170

Gabe Koontz

Joey Mammolenti

Tristan Tonte

Hunter Mote

Dylan Lydy

Scottie Sopko

Ben Stewart

Nick Ritchie

Kaine Luginbill

 

182 - Stevenson enters as the favorite, which could cause others to move down to 170 if they can maintain

Jacob Stevenson

Dillon Jackson

Chase Osborn

Colton Gonzalez

Jonathan Morales

Scottie Evans

Spencer McCool

Cameron Nuckols

 

195 - Rypel is on fire this off season.  I consider him the heavy favorite here

Blake Rypel

Myron Howard-Anderson

Evan Elmore

Corey Hinkle

Randy Scott

Bo Davis

Robert Manns

David Eli

Noah Schrader

 

220 - Off season wrestling seems to be going great for Kobe Woods.  I am picking him here but don't know alot of the other contenders or what they can do

Kobe Woods

Ben Schoolcraft

Gunnar Larson

Elisio Guerra

Kasha Wilder

Ryan Guhl

Seth Meyer

Morgan Kral

Cory Klem

Bryant White

Courvoiser Morrow

 

285 - The big guys return some great talent. Oglesby impressed at state last year with his aggressiveness and athleticism.  Streck seems destined to win a title, maybe this will be the year

Norman Oglesby

Shawn Streck

Nate Trawick

Owen Perkins

Kolby Mount

Chris Ridle

Mitchell Kessler

You have both Egli and Luigs ranked at 113 and Eliseo Guerra is easily top 3 at 220 imo.

Obviously we don't know all of the weights yet, but I doubt we'll see Hughes and Forte both at 152, though it would be pretty fun if they did. Especially at the Al Smith since both are on task to be 4x Al Smith Champions. I'd also expect to see Osborn up to 182 with Mammolenti at 170, both challenging for a state title.

Here is a list of guys returning to the Evansville SS.  It was done over the early summer with inputs from as many sources as wanted to participate, but there is more information out there on what weights wrestlers are going now.

Alex Johnson and Nick Lee 132 MD?  Alex maybe 126

Also Josh Davis graduated

Ahhh, but where does that put Joe Lee?  Would make a little more sense that Joe would be at 126, Alex at 132 and Nick at 138.  But then where does Blake Jourdan end up?  Does he go to 145?  Still lots of time and I'm sure it will all work itself out in the next three months, but it's going to be very interesting and competitive in that MD room.
