What weight? Luca wrestled at 175 at WV States which is same weight as Brody Conley. As much as it would have been nice to add him to the squad, it is not a need. Only have so many dollars to throw around at each weight…

Wonder if Raike, Humphrey, Amos or Wright could have maybe filled a need ?

Humphries would have filled the need for sure. Could argue the others

No doubt about Humphries. He’d be the best wrestler on the team lol. Wvu has a ton of guys around Raike’s weight. Would of loved to have Wright but it sounds like he’s wanting to be a 174lber. As tall as he is he could easily fit anywhere from 174-197lb. Just too early to tell with Raike and Wright obviously. Personally I would of loved to have them all lol.

I forgot Amos. He’d definitely be an upgrade at 197. I’d like to see him go HW. Did he not wrestle at the national championships? I didn’t see him in Greco

Unfortunately Amos suffers from not having a wt class between 197 and HWT. He’s been ranked, but don’t believe he’s won a match at NCAAs. This year was injury, but pretty sure went 0-2 last year. If only there was a 215/220 class

He got hurt in the NCAA Championship so not sure if he is all healed up yet.

No doubt he’s definitely a tweener without a weight class in college wrestling. Sucks. It’s shown tho he’s MUCH better at freestyle/Greco than Folk. We could def use him at 197 tho lol. Hope he gets healed up before 2024 Olympic trials. With Hancock retiring he should be the favorite at 97kgs in Greco to make the team.

Well that would explain it. Thanks. I’m sure he’s focusing on being healthy for 2024.
