Wrestle Stat has the following Badger starting lineup:

125 - Barnett
133 - Coy
141 - Zargo
149 - Sheen
157 - Mechler
165 - Hamiti
174 - Maylor
184 - Liegel
197 - Amos
285 - Christensen

It will be interesting to see how the starting lineup plays out. Coy wrestled the most at 133 last year; Rivera finished ahead of him at a late season tournament. Bobzien did not wrestle much last year. Does Zargo stay at 141? If so, who starts at 149? 157 will be competitive. Does Amos stay at 197? I have heard he is moving up.

Are any other transfers or recruits coming in? Still quite a few transfer options out there..

The Freshmen will most likely redshirt. Not certain if Russo goes 197 or 285. Condon is tough. The Badgers may try to get the best 10 as starters which would involve moving guys to different weights.

Where have you heard Amos is moving up?  I think his chances are better at 197 given that Heavyweight is top heavy with Kerk, Cass, Hendrickson and Schultz and he'd have to compete with guys as big as 280.  197 is a much easier path for Braxton to break through and make some noise at NCAAs.  I also think its possible Braxton does take an olympic shirt and doesn't wrestle next year.  That would allow him time to bulk up and move up to heavyweight after returning.

I also don't get why Zargo would move up.  He doesn't appear that big at 41.

Didn't Reader say Joey was moving up?
