AJ Ferrari: Yes or No?

[CyCloneRastlinG]

I could be wrong but heavy seems like a bad choice for AJ. He’ll be like 225-230 max? I think Bastida will be too big/strong for him.

He said he weighs like 230 and if he can get up to 235-240 and feel good he will go heavyweight. He said it’s still up in the air and 197 is still an option. He said that’s between him and the coaching staff. Their current 197 is also a tweener and going to struggle to make 197

Most of the big HWTs are gone most are 230-240 he will be fine

Nebraska figures AJ will be a good deal, by the time he’s a senior, he can get the AARP tuition discount for the AD.

FYI ortega is 27 and Ech almost 2 years older than AJ. AJ will be 24 in July and Ech 26 in September. So those same jokes can be made

You left out the "hell no" option.

And did those two start college wrestling right out of HS?

This will be AJ 6th year in college since HS. One year was covid now add in a RS and 4 years he's no different than everyone else in the covid era who got 6 years. So I was just confused by acting like he's so old. He's not guaranteed another year after next year that's TBD

Here is a question for those guys good at figure out birth dates. Bo Bassett is going into his senior year of high school. Luke stanich, who he just lost to is going into his third year of college.

I’d be willing to bet those two aren’t even 12 months apart in age. Anyone able to figure that out?

Bassett was born Aug 2006 and Stanich March 2005 so 17/ 18 months difference

Good work! Interesting considering one will technically be considered a senior in college next year while the other a college freshman.

Stanich’s 3rd year not 4th.

Not this coming year but the following when Bo will be a freshman in college, stanich will be year 4/senior

This thread was a roller coaster. Glad we have Rocky Elam and Yonger Bastida closing out duals this upcoming year.

Me too- but I would rather not see either of them all regular season and have them close out the NCAA finals Saturday night.

I'd like to see them close out the dual to beat Iowa and Oklahoma State if that's ok to get greedy?
