He is going to be tiny at heavyweight. I am not going to expect much out of him at that weight. It leaves us a pretty gaping hole at 197. Would the staff roll Hagerty out there next year?

Idk, Yonger did beat Fernandez from Cornell who was a R12 guy at hwt when Yonger was down at 197. Give him an off-season to bulk up and see his energy difference when he doesn’t have to worry about cutting weight and he’ll be fine

Yonger will be a very quick heavy which will make up for some the size difference
Yonger on full feed I'd have to imagine will be ~240+ at HWT. That's on the small end, but lots of successful wrestlers around that size who are not as talented as he is. I'd feel pretty good about it and probably will help the gas tank situation. Now I'd imagine bottom will still be a major issue.
If Hagarty is healthy it may not be the worst thing to run him out there, but I know he was banged up pretty good at the state tournament. But with Bartelt coming for 197 and Naak at 184, next year or two may be Hagarty's best shot of being in the lineup. Naak isn't going to be big enough for 197 IMO, at least right out of the gates.

It’s gonna be fun to watch. The matches against the top guys will be interesting to how he does. I’d bet he holds his own. But his speed and athleticism against lesser heavy’s? Holy balls, he’s going to murder them.

High 230's to low 240's on a good day. But strong AF.
If Bastida is 235-240 I have no worries about the success he'll have next year at HWT. The only concern I have is the hole he leaves behind at 197, but I assume there's a plan for that.
Yeah I am thinking Nando but would like it if Schon could make it. Hagarty hurt at state so thats doubtful.
Hole is only going to matter in a few duals. Time to focus on points at nationals.
Yonger will likely struggle against the top end BIG HWTS. Schultz, Cass, Hendrickson but could pound the rest.

When I saw the list of 3, the final 3 were an easy guess. All 3 make sense. Honestly don’t know where he ends up. Iowa has gabe Arnold at 174 so he’d have to be a 184 not sure he’s that big
On the flip side, Yonger's worst position is bottom and I'm concerned about him being able to get out from underneath. Hendrickson, Cassiopi and the like will have a good shot at a fall.
