Actually if Joe decides to get down to 215 this year, I do not think it would hurt his D-I chances at heavyweight over the next four to five years. The reason I say that is that I was just watching last week a replay of the NCAA D-I tournament in 2004 (not sure about the year). I saw Rowlands defeat a guy from Penn State. I believe Rowlands was wrestling at only about 230 and the Penn State guy was at around 260. Rowlands was quicker and in complete control the whole match. He actually lifted his 260 plus pound opponent off of his feet a couple of times. It was an incredible display of agility, quickness, strength and wrestling ability that the lighter Rowlands displayed in that heavyweight championship match.

I would like to see a Bach and Disney matchup too but I were the 5A All Star coach I would definitely work to find a way to put Stokes, Elliott, Bach and Disney in my All Star lineup this year. I also think the 5A coach would be finding a spot for Henes too by the end of the year. It will be interesting to see how it all ends up.
