Can’t believe kharchla still gets to come back but yeah 165/174 could be paddy and Carson. Still they are both r12 types. I don’t believe bouzakis can make the cut to 125.. I know he has struggled with weight getting to 133. So I don’t think that actually comes to happen, but I’ve seen the rumors as well
It's definitely more than rumors and the plan for Bouzakis. Will definitely be interesting

Saying it and doing it and staying healthy are completely different things. Look no further than our own MJ and Swiderski, among others who haven’t handled massive cuts on our team
And look at Frost who's done it for years . Some people are built different. We won't know how Bouzakis looks until he gets there. Frost cuts more than Bouzakis will

You’re pointing out a guy who has actually done it.. vs a guy who has never done it. When was the last time he even wrestled 57kg? He wrestled the US open at 61kg remember. I don’t buy it, but you can
I'm not buying it will be successful. Bouzakis hasn't been down that low in years. I'm buying that it's the plan and that he will try it. Bouzakis definitely is a little wild and is up for the challenge

have reservation about Bouzakis heading down to 125
i understand its either that or he has no spot since Davino will be their gut at 133
but he has never wrestled that weight in college hasn't been that low since his junior yr of HS (2020)

He didn't use a regular redshirt though, and wrestled for five years https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/56763/alvarez-sammy/profile
Good call. He technically had 4 seasons cut short/very possibly from injury.

2020 Freshman, wrestled at conference.
2021 was a free year, only wrestled 2 dates total.
2022 wrestled at the matmen open 12/29 then done for the year - medical rs year.
2023 wrestled at done by 1/06 - medical rs year.
2024 sophomore year, done by 1/27.
2025 - junior year got 7th.

Maybe he is hopeful he is getting a second medical waiver and going in the portal now but waiting to get approved? Maybe he already got approved for the second medical year. The only logical answer is he is getting a medical year for both 2022 and 2023. He never used his regular RS and 2021 was technically free. He didn't get much done in 21, 22, 23 or 24.

Yea I’ve also heard of college basketball players entering the portal in hopes of getting another year

Wrestling in the 2nd semester and getting a medical was never happening in the past but who knows nowadays . He's gotta be hoping for a medical for 2023
