Why Carter Starocci SHOULD Go Up To This Weight

[@edwardbisono9889]

That guy carter so good he beat himself to get to the finals

[@bradthenutritionist]

It will also allow Starocci to prepare and grow for senior level competition at 86 kg since he’s not making 74.

[@vincentpadilla7895]

125 - start Luke. Redshirt Davis. 133 - Nagao 141- Bartlett 149 - start van ness. Redshirt kasak 157- Start Mitchell 165 - Haines 174 - up in the air 184- Barr 197 - Carter. Redshirt mirasola Hwt -Greg. Redshirt mirasola Other notable redshirts are Sealey and Ryder. Where Ryder eventually fits in the lineup is really interesting. The future lineups are not going to get any less crowded and I can’t fathom guys like Ryder sitting for more than one year.

[@cjpfeuferYt]

Definitely redshirt Luke most likely

[@griffitts7]

This looks pretty good to me, except I'm not sure about Mitchell going 57

[@ronf3908]

@@griffitts7 I heard Mitchel indicate they he would do what's best for the team, so he sounds like he's open to 157

[@ronf3908]

It's a great problem to have --- there is only so much Cael/Casey/Cody can do to keep hi caliber talent sitting idle without potential transfer portal exits.

[@jackmcg0]

@@cjpfeuferYtDavis won’t be able to get down to 125, and there’s no reason to start Howard or Steen

[@ScottTrauger]

Haines 165. Facunda 174. Barr 189. Starocci 197

[@michaelscott33]

You forget about Mesenbrink at 157?

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

I don't think you mentioned Facundo. Very crowded at the top. WE ARE

[@dominiquemckinney972]

Carter Starocci should definitely wrestle at 197.He’s taking down everybody

[@michaelscott33]

Carter should do it. It’s the ONLY time in history you can do this. Not only does one need to be a 4-timer to obviously get their 5th, but you have to have the opportunity to actually get the 5th and I highly highly doubt these two things will ever line up again. He would be the first and only 5th timer ever.

[@raywalteroutdoors]

Carter + 20lbs of lean muscle = destroying everyone again

[@mattlol2596]

Maybe not lean but def would gain like 10

[@fredarroyo7429]

Honestly would be like 10 lbs of anything but lean muscle on top of the muscle he does gain

[@Salty_Vet_06]

Him and AJ Ferrari will be an insane match if it actually happens. I doubt Ferrari actually wrestles at all for Iowa.

[@C0d0ps]

10 lbs of muscle is more like it.

[@Packerfan5827]

@@Salty_Vet_06idk tbh because Ferrari hasn’t wrestled for about 2 years and when he did wrestle he struggled against Glazier but like I said he hasn’t wrestled in a bit so not really fair

First time I ever heard CP misspeak….lol CP, let’s do this, let’s all put in our potential PSU lineups for this new year, how many finalists in NCAA’s, and by how many points they win the NCAA’s by.

[@xzjayz7925]

(This is assuming Carter doesn’t wrestle 174) 125: Luke Lilledahl 133: Aaron Nagao (BD redshirts) 141: Beau Bartlett (TK redshirts) 149: Healthy SVN 157: Mitchell Messenbrink/Haines 165: Levi Haines/MM 174: Zack Ryder 184: Josh Barr/Carter Starocci 197: Carter Starocci (Conner Mirasola redshirt) HWT: Cole Mirasola Finalists: 125 149 157 165 197 As for point I haven’t a clue

[@ogot344]

@@xzjayz7925how good is that Zack kid? Only person I haven’t heard of on that list.

[@TimM-wk1zx]

Great list….thx. I think Kerk just announced he will be back, and I’m kinda hoping Davis wrestles 133. I think the team points will get close to 190. I’m wishfully thinking 8 finalists 125-133-141-149-157-165-184 and HWT. Carter at 184 and Davis at 133. If PSU gets 8 in the finals, and gets a team score at or over 190, I feel Tom and Terry Brands will automatically simultaneously self implode.

[@xzjayz7925]

@@ogot344 he’s a U17 bronze world medalist. And teched an NCAA qualifier (in the finals) in the US Open last week that was Ben Askren trained (so a pretty good kid). He’s a stud. I have him in the line up because if Carter truly doesn’t go 174. The only one who could challenge for 174 would be Joe Sealey (who is too small for the weight for now) and Alex Facundo… who honestly could take it. But Ryder is apparently doing what Levi Haines did and skipping his senior year to go train with DT which is why I have him in the lineup.

[@TimM-wk1zx]

Look up Zack Ryder from NY

[@cjpfeuferYt]

Davis/ Lilledil Nagao Beau Van Ness Mesenbrink/Haines Haines/Mesenbrink Facudo/Starocci Starocci/ Bar Starocci/ Mirsola Kerkfleet

[@JM-wf2to]

Carter Starrocci staying in place and beating Keegan would be the boss move.

[@Vincentovich89]

I have been praying 🙏 that Carter Starocci comes back for a run at number 5. ⭐occi will get it done!

[@molowe66]

He said that the chump, known as Carter Starocci, has a chance to do something never done before by winning a fifth NCAA championship. Well, that's both accurate and inaccurate. The legendary Carlton Haselrig won six. He won 3 division II & 3 division I. While wrestling for division II Pitt at Jonesboro, he caused the NCAA to create the Haselrig rule which no longer allows lower division champs to compete against the big schools. Plus, he went on to become an all-pro for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[@CHRISHausman]

Question is where does Kassak fit in? Is Van Ness healthy enough to wrestle a full season? I think Carter goes 197

[@noahraymond244]

Why can’t Levi and Mitch just switch weights? I haven’t heard this floated around at all

[@ronf3908]

I think it is a high probability of that happening

[@kylezator2197]

Why bump up 2 weight classes?

[@jaimzwaters4332]

He’s fasho goin 197

[@jordanbanks6655]

What if Parker goes up?

[@bilbobaggins7095]

He saw it work for Aaron Brooks. The plan is for them both to be winning olympics that only happens if he wins at 86 and Brooks goes up to 97 kilo and takes out Snyder.

[@CharlieB-gs5uk]

Carters not making an Olympic team.

[@bilbobaggins7095]

@@CharlieB-gs5uk in 4 years 86kg if he sticks with it and Brooks goes up. He is definitely good enough

[@nobody-cl1xr]

AJ Ferrari returns and makes CS turn babyface. You can’t write a better script

[@salvajeasp757]

There’s a clear reason he’s considering jumping 2 weights instead of 1, but no one’s talking abt it. He doesn’t wanna see Parker Keickeisen in his last year

[@AlwaysAlpha88]

Sorry but Carter is now completely shadowed by Brooks! What AB has done with making the Olympic Team and beating David Taylor to do it is just insane!!

[@billyboy4477]

If he goes 197 Aj Ferrari is going to take another redshirt

[@griffitts7]

Where does Kevin Lee fit in to all this?

[@rbra9611]

Does this mean Gabe Arnold won’t be able to talk smack and then not wrestle him?

[@ericholland-cr1nt]

He should transition to mma asap

[@barryjohnson8464]

Way too early to tell how it all shakes out at PSU. I do think that Connor Mirasola could show up and dominate everyone BUT Starocci at the higher weights and start as a true frosh, either at 197 or 184, depending on Starocci's decision. I expect Starocci to stay at 174, though...he hasn't outgrown the weight, and now it's a long time to the '28 Olympics. There's no rush to start reassembling himself to wrestle down or up from where he is now. SO: 174: Starocci; 184/197: Barr and Mirasola; HWT: Greg. The middle weights are jammed with good wrestlers...and completely befuddling to me.

[@wrestle4life234]

I think he could bulk up very quickly but it takes time to gain muscle and then be optimally strong and mobile and functional with the muscle. Starting as soon as possible makes a lot of sense for him. Big bulk, no cutting during the season, will be very good for him

[@shawnbibb7833]

Is him coming back just to make history or? Other than history idk why u come back.

[@fanman71]

NIL. Also if he is going to stay with NLWC, why not just wrestle for PSU. Unless he is deadset on going MMA, it makes a lot of sense to wrestle this year in NCAA's and shoot for nationals again next year.

[@garyharrison539]

You guys are making something bigger than it is..Carter never said for sure.. Cunningham has said it's very unlikely..
