Someone who is naturally 220 is well within range of 197 for college. I don't know what weight Joe will end up in college but I certainly think he would fit in nicely at 197 if he desired.

Jessie Strawn comes to mind. He easily could have wrestled 215 as a senior. He stayed at 189 to show colleges his quickness and etc.. Now he is wrestling 184. Erisman, Grater, etc.. all wrestled less in college than in high school. It just depends on body size.


Barry - I have info from a reliable source that Bach weighed 240 with just his shorts on. I really believe that 197 is out of the question. His Dad is a big framed guy and I can see Joe at 265 and ripped in college.
