I don't think it's settled. Chittum's coming off some injury and coaches probably didn't want to throw him into a tournament. See Dresser's recent press conference for discussion of starters and choices b/t dual with Davidson and Grand View Open this weekend.
I’m guessing we’ll see both Kraisser and Chittum in various competitions throughout the season.
I agree with your last sentence as long as you add “Post-Degen” caveat to it.
Yes, he is classified as a 1st year college wrestler and has the 5 match option. You don’t have to read too hard between the lines to know the coaches fully expect Chittum to man this spot in March.
I’m sure that’s the plan, but plans can change. Was just throwing out existing options.
Swiderski going to GV Open basically confirms AE will go at 49 on Sunday (despite being certified at 41). AE will be a huge 141 if/when he gets permanently gets there.
What does AE eligibility clock look like? It says RS Jr on the website but does he have an extra Covid year or something? Seems like he’s been around forever just took him awhile to find a home.Swiderski going to GV Open basically confirms AE will go at 49 on Sunday (despite being certified at 41).
