Curious as to what the thoughts are for the meet with Nolf out. Any predictions?

I hope I am wrong, but I am going 23-16 OSU.

Retherford is bumping up, and Cael is burning a redshirt for 149. Last name V something.

Verkleeren? It'll be interesting to see if that happens because Cael just said this past weekend that he is not burning any redshirts. I assumed that they would go with Gardner at 57 or Pipher dropping from 65. Rumor has it that Cortez is back practicing so you could see Lee/Cortez at 41 and 49 and Zane bumping. A lot of drama leading up to the match of the year!

Yes, Verkleeren. My info was passed to me by a long time PSU season ticket holder who has some 'inside' contacts, lol. Will be interesting to watch it play out.

If they expect Nolf back for nationals I can't think they'd burn a redshirt just for one dual. But then again Cael could know Nolf is out the year and is just saying he'll be back for nationals. If they pull the shirt off Verk I'd say Nolf is done.
