Bouzakis says 125 was a nightmare. He was 12-15lbs over after day one of NCAA tourney.

I believe it....you think he's staying there next year?

Not at 125. Davino has 133. I don't see him being effective at 141...

Any potential for Davino to bump to 141 or just keeping him where he's happy at 133?

Certainly not as learned as most, but would seem to be easier to go up a level, than go down a weight class. Even in a weight class, this is the time of life when a body grows, gains size/weight etc naturally. Certainly as one does weight training, pounds are added, and if memory serves, adding a pound of muscle requires losing, what, eight pounds of fat? Am sure others have better numbs, but can only lose so many pounds of fat, no?

It definitely is easier to go up and wrestling closer to your natural weight is trending in a good way. Unfortunately sometimes the cut is necessary when roster openings dictate it. I had to cut a lot until my senior year because I had a roster of future All Americans to beat out for a starting spot. But my senior year I wrestled 152 and was destroying kids because of all the energy and strength I had.
