What does Braxton's Facebook post about change mean? Hope it is not what first came to mind...

He wasn't at the Buckingham Awards last night. I hope Brooks Empey is ready to go!

The quote is liked by Reader and Amos retweeted RTC event in June yesterday, me thinks you reading too much into the word change, at least that's the optimist in me.

Time to move up to heavy and take a year to redshirt and put on size?

I would love to see this.  I believe this would allow him to be the ultra aggressive Braxton I have seen wrestle before this season.
Why cut big weight for 3 more years then have to gain weight for Greco.  When you could just eat, lift, train, and ultimately feel better. 
In the coaching staff and Braxton I trust.

I have thought Amos is more of a HWT. So moving Amos to HWT maybe a 4 year process with him reshirting next year and then 3 more years. Would this hamper recruiting Hopke because Hopke would have to sit for 2 years then?

The Hopke angle is definitely a thought from a fan perspective.  No matter what I think we need to do what is best for Braxton.  That would be a great room with both Amos and Hopke.

He wasn't a big 197 pounder this year? 5'10 -5'11 tops and he didn't cary a ton of muscle. He was very competitive in a deep weight class last year and will be even better as some of these talented guys age out. It sounds like he is getting better at his nutrition and he needs to continue developing his offense. Only a couple freshman had a good year last year, he will be fine if the Badgers get someone on the senior level to move in and train with him.

Just to add in to the conversation. He COULD redshirt this upcoming season and then olympic redshirt the following season. He would have 3 years of eligibility after that. That would allow him time to focus on freco and potentially make an world/olympic team.

Braxton would certainly be the favorite at this point to make a U23 World Team at 97 kg in Greco but to make a World or Olympic team at the senior level any time soon is going to be a challenge. There seems to be a fair gap between him and G'Angelo Hancock. Hancock is just 24 and seems to be hitting his stride. He is probably the best US Greco wrestler at this point and does not appear to be going anywhere soon.
