I'd take that 90% bet ,several of these guys were not elgible their freshman year because they were too light,and several others barely made the weight requirment.I'm sure several could of moved up a weightclass,but I know this years NJCAA 125 champ and OW could not make the team his freshman year without 103.These weights are very competitive with a lot of these guys being one sport atheletes, he could however beat many of the heavier guys on his team including the 215 and heavyweight but not the 112 lber.I agree there are many heavier football guys who "could be" good wrestlers but I know there "are" many 103 and lighter wrestlers who train year round because there is no other sport that they can be competitive in.I do however wish there was a place for those who can't make 285 wrestling should be for everyone not just average sized guys.
Too bad it is not a provable bet, I think I could make some easy money on that one. Heck it sounds like the NCAA champion could have made it as a freshmen 1st team varsity guy at a heavier weight for his school even all the way up to 215. I don't know what he weighed as a freshman but it sounds like he could have found a weight the equivalent of what my son did as a sophomore this year in wrestling 285 as a 220 pounder.
What do you mean that they could not have made it because they were too light and some barely could make the weight requirement? I guess I am not familiar with the minimum weight requirement at 103? Is there one?
