They beat Western Wyoming juco using a funny lineup. Pokes also wrestled some intrasquad matches and there were some interesting results. Lots of unknowns with this team. I'm confident we've got some good, young wrestlers on this team, as well as a couple impact transfers. I bet we're better than we have been the past few years.
Starting lineup?
125: Jore Volk - Let's go!
133: ? Think this weight is fairly wide open
141: Gabe Willochel - transfer from Edinboro, NCAA qualifier,
149: ? Cole Brooks is a freshman who projects to be very good. He destroyed two cowboys in the intra squad including ^Willochel
157: ? Wide open Voorhees? Noonan?
165: ? Wide open Logan Ours? Freshman Sloan Swan?
174: ? Fairly wide open. Maybe freshman Paolo Salminen from Billings can grab this spot.
184: Ethan Ducca - Edinboro transfer. Should be solid
197: Joey Novak - I think he's going to be a great one. True freshman.
HWT: Kevin Zimmer - I think he'll surprise people this year. There is also Lane Catlin form Gillette whom I think should be a good wrestler.

It’s Jore Volk and who are these guys. Time will tell but I don’t believe we will be very good this year considering our youth and inexperience. I get that Western Wyoming is a good JUCO but we should not lose any matches to them (let alone multiple matches including a major).

I don't think our best lineup was out there.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 10:53 am It’s Jore Volk and who are these guys.

Big win tonight against a below average team, but we are fun to watch. Four true freshman are in the lineup and they all look really good. Also, great class signed yesterday for 2024,. Wrestling is on the rise. Go pokes!

I was following on Twitter. Seems like we just absolutely mauled them. Volk didn’t wrestle for some reason, but if he did then we would have shut them out. No Willochel either. Our freshmen seem legit. Ducca seems like a great addition.

Now I am really confused at what our best lineup is lol. Is volk having trouble making weight at 125? Is he going 133? And where does willochel fit in? Seems like Brooks has locked up 141

We beat cal baptist by quite a bit. Novak and Brooks certainly look impressive for freshmen. Ducca solid as well. Looks like we’ve got a HWT in Zimmerman. No volk. Why no Volk??

Yeah, I don't like it when star athletes just disappear from the lineup seemingly for no reason.aranderson wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:47 am I'm in the where is Volk camp as well. Followed all weekend and didn't see hide nor hair of him, let alone hear anything about why he isn't available.

We lost the barn battle, but looked like a big success overall. Lots of exposure. Volk was back in the lineup, thank goodness. Campbell seems like a good team, not sure how they are not in intermat’s dual team rankings. They have a couple top 10 ranked wrestlers and three others in the top 20 or so. We lost a few close one
