West Virginia 1/8



Echemendia listed as an “or” at 141 is interesting. Looks like we will get Paniro’s season debut at 149. Also has MJ still at 165 and Riggins at 174, not sure if those will stay or if they’ll be flipped

I could have sworn Dresser said (in his interview) that Ech was still out until later this month. He also said Riggins and Gaitan had flipped weights.

Yeah, which is why I was surprised they even listed Ech in the release. The Riggins/Gaitan could just have been a lapse in forgetting to switch them around

Also thought his comments about guys possibly getting 5 years was interesting.

Sounds like they’re kind of banking on that with Herrera. Also makes me think we could see Osmani a few more times and possibly even Naak or Meza if needed.
 
I think the match count only applies first semester. That’s why it’s weird Oz would wrestle at all.
…on June 16, the NCAA officially adjusted its rules around the rookie season, allowing any Division I men’s wrestler to “compete in up to five dates of competition during the student-athlete's initial year of collegiate enrollment without using a season of competition “

I think they can wrestle 5 , but if they wrestle 1st semester they have to wrestle attached.
 
Starting at 133 tonight. Wonder if WVU won the flip and chose 133 if Jett Strickenberger ends up going at 125. More time for him to recover from the first cut down to 125

Hopefully not something we chose because Terukina is struggling with the cut...
 
OR do they know Frost is cutting his nuts off and WVU wants him early?
I think it’s more likely that Strickenberger goes 133 and this is why they want to start 133 to get Frost off of the scale.

Or yes Strickenberger goes 125 and WVU knows we have quite a few guys cutting big weight (133, 184, 197, even paniro first match down to 149).
 
Don't know if this is certain, but Track Wrestling shows these lineups.
