Julianna Ocampo of New Haven upsets #20th ranked Aiden Dallinger McCutcheon 10-5.
 
Hopefully this will put her into the top 20! When was the last time we had a girl in the rankings? Kayla Miracle? 

Thanks navy. Interesting format that the boilermakers used. Let’s see what the first match brings for who will start or red shirt. 

Hated to see the MD boys against each other, but that won't be the end of those two battling it out for a spot IMO. Crazy to think that Baumann, with an impressive high school career, gets beat by Parkinson, who also had a solid 4 years for the Cats. If I was a betting man, I would've put Baumann over Parkinson, but that goes to show that Parkinson having more college experience under his belt gives him the edge over an offensive machine like Baumann. 
 
I am glad to see they will be practice partners as well. 
 
As always, #BringBackTheTights. 

Posted this in August on nhs67 post. Just thought I'd move it over here.
 
Ohio State University-OSU
 
125 Maik Heinsleman  - SR, Five year starter.  can be a five time NQ.  Hope he AA's this season. Been a great Buckeye. AA
125 Brady Koontz - JR,  GR focus. 
 
133 Andre Gonzalez - RSFR, I've had him moving down after Malik is finished. Not sure now with the two FR coming in. 23-5 RS season.
133 Bouzakis - RS, He's going to get those five dates and I wouldn't be surprised if he's wrestling at the B1G tourney. NQ 
133 Mendez - RS, Hopefully he gets those five dates as well. But he RS's proper. 
133 Dylan Koontz - SR, Has stepped in when asked and absorbed some beatings. Hopefully he finds a place in GR. Been a great Buckeye.
 
141 Dylan D'Emilio - SO, Has wrestled better each season. Two time NQ with a R16.  D'Emilio continues to improve. AA within reach. NQ
141 Jordan Decatur - JR, No idea where he falls? Still has RS available.
 
149 Sammy Sasso - JR, Three time NQ, two time AA (5th & 2nd).  I feel like Sasso has been figured out. AA
149 Gavin Brown - RS, Three timer in Ohio(lost COVID year). 120-11.
 
157 Paddy Gallagher - RSFR, OSU fans have been waiting for him. We've heard he wasn't healthy last season. Had a good RS year 17-2, no big wins and lost to a HS guy (All pretty irrelevant).  Wide open weight class. Buckeyes need him to produce. NQ
157 Bryce Hepner - SO, Good wrestler who split time last season.
157 Issac Wilcox - SO, Split time with Hepner last season.
 
165 Carson Kharchla - SO, Five losses. Griffith, Amine, Hamiti, O'Toole and The Bull by a total of nine points with two SV losses. It gets no easier this season. AA
 
174 Ethan Smith - SR, Possible five time NQ. R16, 5th, R12. Disappointing NCAA last season. Lost to Eischens in R1 by a point(WTF) and then to Plott in R12.  I'll leave out the Ethan Smith joke knowing that nhs gets it. Been a great Buckeye. AA
 
184 Kaleb Romero - SR, Three time NQ, R12, 6th. Lost to Hidlay by a point. He has improved every season. I expect the same. Been a great Buckeye. AA
184 Gavin Bell - SO, He'll get some matches. 12-5 last season in the Open circuit.
184 Luke Geoge - RS,  He's going to be good one. Would like to see him get those five dates this season. Wrestled at STED. Looking forward to this kid. 
 
197 Gavin Hoffman - JR, Twenty one seed all the way to the Semifinals last season, then did the slide. Finished 6th place and surprised everyone. AA
197 Seth Shumate - RS, Buckeye fans were pretty excited about him a couple seasons ago. Local kid. Three-time DI State champion. 170-5 record. #19 overall recruit.
 
285 Tate Orndorrf - SR, Possible five time NQ. R16, 8th, R12. He's been serviceable. Not a world beater and 285 in the NCAA isn't a friendly place. AA
285 Nick Feldman - RS, He can only benefit from a RS. I hope he gets to wrestle in the five dates provided. He needs to get bigger, but his frame will dictate that and his frame is pretty damn stout. Parris, Hilger and Laird will be gone. Cass, Slavikouski and Davison will be SR's. Schultz, Kerk, Elam, Hendrickson, Fernandes and Luffman will all be around for a couple more years at least. I believe Feldman is going to be a great college 285. I'm not hanging any FS chains around him anytime soon and I'm not bothered by that.
 
I don't know if OSU gets a trophy this season.  We return every starting wrestler.  Ohio State is thin at 49/65/74. And we need 25/33 to work out for the Buckeyes to make a run in the future.  It's going to be exciting to be able to watch the RS's wrestle this year outside of the 'Open' circuit. 
That's all I got boys.
 
EDIT: 133 Mendez will be in the wrestle offs tomorrow against D. Koontz.  Wrestlestat shows Mendez as the starter and Bouzakis RS'ing. I thought it would be the other way around and I suppose it still may.

Gentry was pretty short and wasn't a big HWT.
 
141 is stacked!

The Hoosiers of Indiana University are stocking up on more talent for the upcoming 2022-2023 season. Signing 11 recruits, this team is beginning to shape itself into a bit of a shock for the Big Ten Conference. Coming off a not-so-great ending to their previous season, the Hoosiers are in search of redemption. As they bring back many starters for this upcoming season, Head Coach Angel Escobedo and the squad will have the opportunity to prove that IU isn’t just a basketball school.

Disclaimers:
 
- I originally posted this in themat.com college forums August 22nd
- TheMat is ceasing it's support and operations if their forums at 12:00 PM NOON on 10/31/22 later this month
- I enjoy posts like this, as well as discussing them, I do hope it is okay to be here, I am a middling/average poster over there
 
Tweaks:
 
- I think Parris will show that he is the #1 this year, with Steveson not being there
- Less confident about Bullock going 197 this year than I was two months ago, what I've heard is that he is pretty close to 174 already

Greetings All,
 
It is about that time.  Time to start 'theorizing' who is going to be where and what is going to happen.  Many schools are releasing their roster list, and boy do they look wrong.  The following is a 'break' 'down' of what it looks like.  I have a lot of insiders there still, and I know a lot of other people do as well who have reached out and sparked conversation.  There are still a lot of guys who can make an impact as well, who aren't at weight - nor have they decided to actually go the weight yet.
 
This is what the depth chart looks like right now, to me:

The following is the weight-by-weight discussion/breakdown:
 
125
This weight seems rather cut and dry.  It will be Medley.  I am not sure we will ever see McHenry as an active starter.  He has the skill, just not the size or strength.  Medley relies on strength and conditioning to win matches.  He isn't a large 125lber, though, so some of the high skill 125lbers that are also lacking in the size department (Heinselman) tend to do very well against him.  He can absolutely beat the likes of McKee and DeAuggie and place rather well... or he could lose to the Heinselmans.  I think we will see somewhere in the middle. Low AA to R12 type performance come NCAAs.
 
We may see one of the Tanefeu twins head up to 133.  No reason other than to not see each other again this season.  Neither are large enough for 133 right now, but neither were either of the Ohio State's Koontz twins.
 
133
Another clear cut and dry weight.  I don't see Ragusin going up to 141 (yet).  It should be his with very little resistance in-house.  I do think we will see him take another step up and become a bit more consistant against the likes of Byrd and McGee.  With Arujau potentially coming up, I do believe the ceiling is 4th for him, though.  I do expect him to finish in the mid-AA range this season.
 
Aside for Ragusin, like I said, one of the twins may come up and we also have Jerore on redshirt.  On the very small off-chance that he does go 141, there are only really two (2) options for UofM.  Somehow Kim drops back to 133 (he did start last season there) or we have McHenry go 125 and Medley go 133.  I don't see Medley NOT going 125 his senior season, though.
 
141
Our first weight where we just don't know what is going to happen (yet).  I expect a starter by committee.  I fully believe Cole Mattin is the best option, yet he may not 100% by the time the season starts.  You have Nolan, Kim, and perhaps even the youngest Mattin or even Freeman could make the drop.  To start the season I expect Kim and Nolan to exchange starts, with Mattin (Cole) assuming the role as starter before the season ends.  I don't know if we should expect any wins at NCAAs from him, but I do think we should expect him to qualify the weight.
 
Everyone here is right in that same ability level tier.  While Mattin isn't a sure fire AA, he does seem to have the highest valley.
 
There is an off-chance that Lamer decides to drop back down.  He didn't do too hot at 70 KG (154) and did have some struggles with mat wrestling at 149.  I do believe that whatever weight Lamer wants to go, the spot will end up being his and whoever is the best of the rest will be at the other 141/149 spot.
 
149
I think Lamer will be here and he has a rather high ceiling.  I don't see him breaking in to that 2nd or 3rd tier yet, but he could sneak in there in the low AA range.  I fully expect growing pains this year (not from necessarily growing, though) and we might see a season in which he comes on strong late, similar to Micic in 2016-17.  Give me a low AA to R12 finish for Lamer in his first season in the lineup.
 
If Lamer does head down to 141, which I doubt, we would see whoever was going 141 head up to 149 and give it a go.  Short of an incoming transfer late (Finesilver? hahaha), it is going to be Lamer at 149.
 
157
Unless Lewan heads down to 149 and Lamer goes 157, Lewan is going 157.  Lewan is a legitimate contender for a title this season.  He lost to Brayton Lee last year pre-injury but he beat Robb, who is the highest returning placer, a week or so before B1Gs.  Lewan wrestles close matches and it does bite him in the rump quite often.  I expect a 2-6 style finish here.  I just don't see him being able to not lose one match at NCAAs.
 
Aside for Lewan there really isn't much depth.  We have Mayora, who is more of a room guy and Riverdale Jr (Consuellos) who isn't even really that.  Not sure if either are going to be back at 157 this year, though.  I kind of expect Lamer to take over 157 after Lewan leaves.  Another guy who may come up is the youngest Mattin.  He was 126lbs his senior year in high school and went 149 last year, his redshirt year.  He may grow some more.
 
165
Amine is looking to go 74 KG (163lbs) for seniors and I don't really see any way he isn't going 165 this year.  He took some lumps early in the season due to injury, but really came on, even beating Lunchbox Mits (Marinelli) at NCAAs.  I don't favor him over Carr, but I do favor him over Monday.  While not flashy, he also holds the last wins over Hamiti and Kharchla.  The only guy I don't see him really having a chance against next season is O'Toole.  Add in that there are real threats coming off redshirt, to add to the depth, in Kennedy and Facundo and it makes 165 the weight to watch next season.  I do believe Amine will be right there, though, and expect a similar finish to Lewan in a 2-6 finish.
 
There is literally nobody else here at the weight.  I suppose there is a chance that Maylor or McKenna or Walker could drop to 165 if, for whatever reason, Amine were to go 174.  I just do not see it happening at all.  Even if Amine ends up needing the season due to injury, I think we'll see someone come up, maybe even from more than one weight class down.
 
174
This weight class has a lot of options, even if none are named Amine or ThugMassa G (Massa).  Myles Amine cited Walker as one of the main reasons he was able to perform how he did at the 2020(1) Olympic games.  That leaves me pretty damn high on him, too.  Add in that Bullock is just as legitimate an option to use at 174 and I am actually okay... even though I don't think we will see Bullock at 174 this year (more on that in a bit).  I do think that we might see a mix of Maylor and Walker to start the year, but by the time the season is winding down Walker will have cemented his spot (this will push Maylor in to making the drop to 165 for the 2023-2024 season, unless Walker makes the drop instead).  I do think Walker, depending on the draw, could win a match or two come NCAAs.  He needs one more season to get up into that low AA/R12 type guy, though.  I do hope I am wrong, though.
 
Walker will have four (4) years of eligibility and Maylor has a couple, too.  We are likely looking at four years of these two guys at 174 from here, which I am okay with.  There is a chance that Walker goes 184 and Finesilver goes 174, but I don't think that is going to happen.
 
184
Matt Finesilver is coming in.  CKWC is likely going to draw in quite a few transfers like that.  Finesilver has Senior level aspirations to represent Israel, so slotting in at 184 suites well for him, so he can go ahead and fill out for 86 KG (~189lbs).  With a change of scenery it isn't out of the realm of possibility to see him pull in a high AA while also going up in weight.  I don't think we will see a high AA, though.  I am thinking we see a low AA to R12 sort of performance.  Once again, I do hope I am wrong.
 
I do think after this year we will see Bullock slide in at 184lbs and not Rylan Rogers (WHAT?!).
 
197
I think this season we are going to see Bullock up at 197 this season (and drop back to 184 for 2023-2024 after Finesilver is gone).  I do think we will see a sort of 'by committee' approach with Striggow (if he is even back next year) and Yatooma as well to start the season, but Bullock cementing that he is clearly our best option.  Keep in mind he did go 184 at the end of last year and won the very prestigious Edinboro Open in his only 184lb action... ...  I do think 197 is a big bump for him, but I do see him being able to qualify the weight if he can get enough reps in.
 
I expect Rogers to slide in at 197 after his redshirt and man the spot for four (4) seasons with great success.
 
285
I think Stevesonson (Parris) is the second best 285lber in the country - when healthy.  Rumor is that he is.  That makes me absolutely thrilled.  He will still lose to his father, though.  Steveson is going to come back and Parris will cement himself as the #2 heavyweight in the country.
 
Behind him it is looking like our future is Ira Jenkins?  He is a heavyweight that moves like a 174lber.  He needs more size, though, and it needs to be appropriate size (like Parris).  Not many can 'poof' up like that, though.
 
Team Outlook:
I think we are looking at anywhere from 7-9 qualifiers.  I think our weakest points to do so are 141, 149, 174, and 197.  I expect 149 to qualify and have high hopes for 174.  141 and 197 are the biggest question marks.  So if we are giving 149/174 ~75% chance of making it then I would say 141 and 197 each have ~50% to make it.  That leaves me sitting at 8 or 9.  Flip a coin and I am at 8.  Once again, I do hope I am wrong.
 
Looking at no champions and anywhere from 4-6 AAs on top of that.  Will that be enough to sneak another trophy out?  Only if we get peak performance out of everyone who qualifies with maximum points.
 
Keep in mind, gents, that these are my thoughts.  Ya'll can have differing opinions.  I would appreciate you airing them.
 
Discuss.

Thanks! 

Can speak for the Brownsburg boys:
Braden Haines wbf. Jared Brown
Ty Haskins dec. Dylan McKelvey
Blaze Garcia dec. Zach Wilson
Blake Mulkey maj. dec. Braden Haines
 
 
Some other resultsI heard was:
Asa Garcia dec. Logan Wagner
Anthony Hughes dec. Alex Cottey

Results? Anyone have results? I can't find them anywhere

Robbie Gentry finished 6th (285) at state back in 2020.  Now at 184, wow!  Great job young man.

Frazier is a seasoned senior going D1. Hawkins coming in as a stud freshman. I see Frazier winning by major but since they are teammates... I can see Frazier winning by less since they know each other.

It's going down here soon on mat 1.

I appreciate the response! Good luck to him and I as well as many people will be following him through his journey in HS and most likely college.
