It appears Amos will not be on the mat this year for Wisconsin with either a medical or Olympic Redshirt. This is a bottom 4 team in the Big 10.

I heard he had shoulder surgery, wouldn't that qualify for a medical reshirt?

It should qualify as a medical redshirt, but Braxton already qualifies as an Olympic redshirt (I believe) because he was a past World Team Member. So if he does not use the medical redshirt he could save it for another year.

It would have been bottom 4 with or without Amos.

couple weeks from first practice. What is the line up going to look like? Two AA, maybe a couple more NQ?

I guess we should be pleased if this happens

Per uwbadgers.com, David Mitrovich is added to the roster. State Qualifier from California

Per Intermat interview, Coach Bono indicated:

* Barnett is looking very determined at 125.   
* 133 is too close to call. 4-way battle!
* Zargo looking stronger at 149.
* Hamiti is Hamiti". He is looking great. He was disappointed in his 6th place finish last year.
* Freshman Dylan Russo has cut to 197, setting up a battle with Talshahar for the varsity spot.
* 285 is very competitive between Christenson, Rosenfeld, Empey and Klarkowski.
* Coach Bono said the 7 freshmen are as good of a freshmen class he has ever been around.
* Team has been working very hard all summer and fall.

[Ray Williams]

It's a little strange that Bono mentioned a 4 way at 133,i heard that two of those kids have blown out shoulders.One for the second time.

[WiscFan]

Season is here gentlemen. Anyone have any hot takes?

I'll predict the starters.

* 125  Barnett. Will AA. One of my favs.
* 133  Bobzien. Then 50/50 between Nicolar and Fugitt (very competitive here). Coy is tough too.
* 141  Lettini
* 149  Zargo. Will AA
* 157  Mechler ?
* 165  Hamiti. Will AA
* 174  Maylor. Then Condon (Reader saying good things about Condon)
* 184  Liegel. He's The Guy at 84's.
* 197  Talshahar then Russo.
* 285  Christensen then Rosenfeld (Rooting for Big Pete since he's the R-Jr)

[littleguy301]

Russo is going to be a tough out for Mikey. Now that Dylan weight is down to 197 he could be a monster problem there!
