I did, yeah. Janzer is kind of logjammed at 184 as Poz won't give that spot up unless the plan is for Poz to move up to 197 in 2022-23 while Soldano is RSing. Janzer is going to be a depth guy at 184 for a year...but he's a damn quality backup at 184.
I guess he can't beat Bulsak for the 197 spot, because it makes little sense to be a backup at 184 if you can start at 197. Interesting that 184 wasn't mentioned. I wonder if he'd try to drop to 174. Hopefully, Shawver and Raimo injuries heal up fast.
I don't think it's so much that he can't beat Bulsak (I personally don't think he could but that's beside the point), I think its more about him not being comfortable at the weight and being undersized. IMO he doesn't have the frame for 197 and he was constantly getting bullied by opponents.
It's definitely about not beating Bulsak. I get being undersized and uncomfortable but you don't just give up the 197 spot and all the experience you'd get because you want to wrestle lesser competition at the Wilkes Open as the 184 backup.
I don’t think it has to do with Bulsak. He’s not beating Poz so if he can’t beat Bulsak, he’s backing up at either spot and I doubt he’d want to cut an extra 13 pounds to still be a backup.
Being a South Jersey guy, if Janzer ends up in the portal due to being recruited over/not being able to start, hopefully he ends up somewhere like Penn or Drexel which are better academically than Rider.
If you can start, you take the starting spot. If he can't beat Bulsak to start at 197, then sure it makes sense to backup 184, but my point still stands that he probably can't beat Bulsak or he'd stay at 197. I'm not surprised about this as I've expressed concerns with his O since HS, but was hoping he'd develop more than the underhook O.
If Janzer is going to be a back up in either weight, wouldn't he want to back up at a weight requiring less weight cut? Why kill yourself and be a backup at 184?
🤷🏻♂️ Another valid point. Maybe he's just more comfortable at 184, maybe the weight cut isn't that bad, or maybe the bulk up to 197 slowed him down some? All speculation of course. That's why I asked if he was trying to cut to 174 and maybe challenge Turley?
I agree if you can start, you start. What I’m saying is if you can’t start at 197, why would you willingly backup 184 with the big weight cut when you can back up 197?
The irony of course is that no more than 12 months ago, many people were calling for Leonardis’ head saying we don’t land or develop upperweights
Was never a fan of having ncaa qualifier lvl wrestlers as backups but Janzer can backup 184/197 this year.. then go back up to 197 once Bulsak graduates. This makes more sense then Poz to 197.
Casale would be nice but Mullen is the type of recruit that will contend for AA right away wherever he lands.
So, Bill could the lineup be Turley going to 165, janzer to 174, Poz at 184, B at 197 and then Boone at heavyweight? That would seem like the only logical way Janzer would fit in the lineup.
Yeah unless Janzer is a bonafide AA at 174, you keep Turley there and unfortunately Janzer will have to go in as a backup this season.
Aren't those stats usually exaggerated? If he is 275lbs, I hope he's in a good enough condition to carry it.
It might be slightly embellished, but he looked much bigger in his last appearances so it was noticeable that he was carrying around a bunch of additional weight.
