Why not follow the freestyle weights , although I actually like the Greco weight spread better FS 125 134 143 154 163 174 190 203 214 276. Greco 121 132 139 148 159 170 181 192 214 228+

It should be very easy for any coach with a brain to agree to match the international weights.
That's counter to the point that is being made and you know it. And I'm someone who wrestled 112 as a SR in HS by the way.
I'm not at all opposed to re-shuffling the 10 weight classes if we need to keep it at 10 for some arbitrary reason. (Side: Might be better with an odd number to avoid the 5-5 ties....but we're getting off on a tangent now)
I appreciate the sarcasm and get where it is coming from. Just a couple of counter-points. 1) This should be easier now that they are not limited to 9.9 scholarships. 2) Who would have ever thought they'd agree to a 3 point takedown?
My ocd is kicking in.... make it 290 please
There are? That wrestle? That has to be a fantastically small number. And even worse when you consider how few are high level athletes. 125 is small enough.
The exact weight is hardly relevant. He hasn’t hit the mat under the 220 lb class in five years. He wasn’t wrestling 220 as a soph and junior then HWT ever since just for the hell of it.
That said…
Don’t tell this to CityCy. He knows everything and thinks big strong guys dropping 40+ pounds to go at weights they haven’t held since their early HS days is a big deal. No effect on the body. They are just lazy or something.
Has nothing to do with it.
You might be the only person in America who doesn’t think cutting a ton of weight is a big deal.
No I just don’t agree with you that cutting weight is why certain people are struggling. There’s much more to just cutting weight for Carroll and Schon just isn’t very good to begin with.
This weight discussion has run it course , move on .
Couldn't agree more. Was just thinking the same thing. Give it a rest.
