I was having this discussion in my head during the match. State is weak at 133. My guess is Robinson is better suited for 133 than Camacho. Not sure either are really suited for big success there, but might be better than the other options.Redwolf55 said:
Vince R looks good at at 125 could we see Jacob C move to 133 to solidify that weight class?

HWT: I'm not sold on Trumble at heavyweight - it hurts the team as State has other quality options at HWT and leaves State weak at 197. I don't know what Trumble's ceiling is at HWT with his style, but he dominated Andrews and gets the first period pin.
125. Redshirt freshman Vince Robinson has drawn a ton of attention with his early season performances. Really reminds me of one of my favorite Pack wrestlers, Tariq Wilson, and how he looked early in his career at 133. So fast and athletic. Loves the snap, duck under, and swing single takedowns. He gets the tech fall over Luna 20-5.
I'm not sure of the plans for Jacob Camacho this season, he's already redshirted so I don't think that is an option. Staff might have a decision to make, even with Camacho's history of success. I'm not sure how you keep Robinson off the mat if he keeps looking like this.
State wins the dual 34-12.
Yes he beat the Campbell kid who was top 10. Trumble will be successful at HWT but his international success came at 97 KG (213 pounds). How does he look against qualified big HWTs?tau06 said:SportManagementEngineer said:

Disagree with you on Trumble. Looks like a natural at HWT. Think he's going to be a hammer for us there this year. Didn't he win against a top 10 opponent in match prior to App? Know he had a great season while redshirting. He looked great last night IMO

In the last podcast, Coach Popolizio said that one of Robinson or Camacho would likely move up to 133 later in the year. And since Robinson is doing so well at 125, it looks like it will probably be Camacho making that move, but I think Pop indicated that this may not happen until January or February.
I'm no expert on wrestling, but I've seen others saying that moving up a weight class can be a challenge especially at the lower weight classes - where even for a guy as good at 125 as Camacho, it could be challenging for him to be just as good at 133. Looks like Kai Orine may be experiencing this right now with his move up to 141, and possibly needing to add more muscle/strength.
If Camacho and Kai Orine could adjust well to these moves up to 133 and 141 by February or March, I think we could have a solid enough line up (still weak at 149, 165, and 197 though) that could be right there with VT and win the ACC. If not, looks like VT will be favored.

Stinks for Owen but I certainly get it. I hope he lands in a good spot at Lehigh and has a great rest of the year. Lot of good memories for us.SportManagementEngineer said:
Owen Trephan has left the team and will be enrolling at Lehigh and eligible next semester. Can't blame him as this is his last year of eligibility and Trumble has the HWT spot.
