What's this?

As a fan, do you want ZZ to stay 184 or bulk up to 197 next year?

The coaches and Zack will make the best decision for him and the team, but from a fan perspective what would you like to see?

184 is solid at the top with Nickal and Martin. Then you also have Venz, Parker, Preisch, Foster, Dean.

197 - a guy you went 1-1 with last year at 184 bulked up and just won this weight. There's also a decent history of guys bumping up to this weight and having success.

Past history is no guarantee for success, but coaches say our biggest short term goal is an NCAA champ. Bumping ZZ up to 197 may give us the best chance at getting another guy in the finals next year.

197 offers a less difficult path to the finals assuming ZZ could adjust. -- VTDante 03/27/2018 10:40AM

Rumor is Ohio State isn’t redshirting anyone next year -- Rokie08 03/28/2018 12:31AM

Forgot Weigel. If he heels up, he and Darmstadt may be tough on top vs ZZ ** -- hokie576 03/27/2018 10:51AM

I’ll have to wait and see what our young guys do this spring -- Rokie08 03/27/2018 10:23AM

Moore is great, but will have to manage his weight better next year if 97 -- hokie576 03/27/2018 11:02AM

I think he will get it under control. -- Rokie08 03/27/2018 5:18PM

Mixed feelings......but still easy to answer. -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 10:13AM

Smeltzer could wrestle 184 next year right? -- HOKIE MAGIC 03/27/2018 2:06PM

He’s forcing his way into the discussion.... -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 8:24PM

Didn't think about Borst challenging for 285. Hmmmm.... ** -- hokie576 03/27/2018 11:08AM

That approach worked really well for Kasper ** -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 11:19AM

My intel says Borst is between 184 and 197 so moving up to 285 is unlikely. ** -- hokietony 03/27/2018 12:03PM

That shapes my opinion...ZZ at 197 and Borst at 184 for a year ** -- Palmetto Hokie 03/27/2018 1:28PM

That's definitely what the eye test shows. ** -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 12:08PM

He'd do well at 197 and it helps the team -- vtdadingf 03/27/2018 10:42AM

Your last paragraph is almost on the mark... -- Palmetto Hokie 03/27/2018 1:32PM

If DMF and ZZ bump then Lewis slides into 165. Mehki will need to borrow... -- wasris 03/27/2018 4:10PM

Lewis -- emhokie 03/27/2018 4:40PM

Agree but... -- Palmetto Hokie 03/27/2018 6:12PM

I like this... -- No1Hokie 03/27/2018 8:38PM

Yep...and Sully would be best at 149, if he's even still wrestling ** -- Palmetto Hokie 03/27/2018 10:13PM

I say hold the shirt -- emhokie 03/27/2018 6:24PM

Bolen could be a beast after a RS -- vtdadingf 03/27/2018 3:59PM

Agreed. ** -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 4:41PM

ZZ -- emhokie 03/27/2018 12:43PM

Totally agree with this...also -- Heathrow Hokie 04/04/2018 09:14AM

In that scenario Bolen would get a redshirt.. -- HokieLifer2 03/27/2018 10:48AM
