Here is an article that basically says Paetzell may return for the Districts.

This is all good news. Glad to see them saying he is healing up fine, and glad to see they aren't rushing him. Some might disagree, but I think once you accept a scholarship offer, being healthy and ready to compete the minute you walk on campus has to take priority. The problem is that when you are a senior in high school, that is all most kids are usually focused on. I hope they are being as cautious as they say they are, because this kid has big things ahead of him in the college game.

let him sit out and make sure heals right this time! If he wrestles for districts and beyond, he'll increase his chance of reinjuring his hand.

Paetzell is cleared and is wrestling at 132 this weekend at District 1.

 

[Abro1975]

He has wrestled so little the last 2 years, and probably will be one of the smaller 132's, that I don't think he breaks the top 4 at AC. Didn't want to face Suriano and Agaisse at 126 , and didn't or couldn't get all the way to 120. Foca currently 4th in the subjective Ledger ranking beat him easily at the Beast.

He'll most likely redshirt next season, IMO, and wrestle 125 in 2 years.

Looks like he's ready to go. he'll be at 125 for RU I'm sure. I would also expect him to redshirt next year, but has McCabe already redshirted?

McCabe has already redshirted and in my opinion McCabe wins the spot easily if there was no such thing as a redshirt.

Yes, McCabe is our best 125 pounder by far. I think he's confidence is a bit down, but I'm hoping he'll get it back by the nationals.

I used to be way more high on Paetzell but after all the injuries and he hasn't looked great when he has wrestled at 132 so I'm not so sure now... :(

 

[ScottRU93]

Foca is very tough to wrestle 1st time around. Very funky style. Nick Farro also lost to him 1st time but then beat him 2nd. You need to know how to wrestle him. Paetzell probably was not ready for the funk.

How does Luis Gonzalez look in the wrestling room against McCabe and Patrick? Love to know how he's progressing.

That would be a question for Bill to answer but I know he beat Patrick in a tournament earlier this year and I would have him as #2 guy going into next year.

Patrick hasn't looked too impressive.. I remember when he and Mccabe were almost equals.

I think McCabe has progressively got better every year at RU.
I wouldn't expect him to be on anyone's all-American projections, but he has turned into a solid wrestler (Top 25).
