Martelloti is no longer listed in the PSU search system - usually a sign that a student is no longer enrolled (though there are some other reasons, like confidentiality, but that's not likely here). Maybe he could take a semester to figure things out and then come back in the summer, maybe not. Maybe with Megaludis coming and grades being what they are, he heads to...Edinboro (everyone's home for second chances)

Molinaro moved up to from 141 at the start of last year, I don't think he's having any issue holding 149. He has been quoted as saying he has kept his weight very well controlled - and much better than he did freshman year. Plus- I don't see him being very successful at 157 - I don't think he would consider it.

No possibility of Dylan Alton at 141. He barely made it for wrestle-offs this year and looked awful. He very well could battle at 157 - I think with Vollrath (took 3rd at Southern Scuffle at 157, bumped to 165 for B10's and picked up a couple wins).

He is not going to 157.

I heard that Martelotti was gone due to academics. I have no idea where you got that Molinaro ws at 141. That hasn't happened since his FS year & he wasn't doing great sucking that much weight despite the AA finish. I think Dylan sits behind Frank @ 149. He could compete for the 157 spot with English, Vollrath maybe Fischer or Kemerer, if he stays. Andrew Alton RS next year per the plan.

Sooners
125 Patterson
133 Keller/Ekstrom/Brewer/Deshazer
141 Maple
149 M. Lester
157 Nelson
165 Caldwell
174 Bridell/Balfour/Spangler
184 Schmidtke
197 Hall/Wheeler
285 Elijah Madison

Hard to say because we could see a bunch of weight jumps from 149-174

When I said he moved up at the start of last year, I meant at the start of 2009-2010 season, as opposed to this year (2010-11). I think we're saying the same thing.

American Eagles
125- Arujau
133- Tao/Williams
141- Mariacher
149- Sanjaa
157- McCarty
165- Graham
174- P. Barreiro/Krakower
184- T. Barreiro
197- Mitchell
HWT- Flores

Once again, not a great dual team but should send 6 or so to NCAAs with 3 AA's. Also, watch out for transfers from smaller schools coming here like Fittery, Flores, and Sanjaa all did.

No way Frank Molinaro is effective at 157, Dylan Alton will also have trouble with the length of some guys at 157.

Best case scenario for PSU would be having Molinaro or Dylan Alton take the offseason and really focus on their diet and losing the weight necessary to get to 141 for next year.

IMO BEST CASE SCENARIO LINEUP FOR PSU:

125: Frank Martellotti/Nico Megaludis (loser redshirts, I'll believe Martellotti is gone when he isn't listed on the roster next season)
133: Andrew Long
141: Frank Molinaro
149: Dylan Alton
157: David Taylor (Maybe he stops growing)
165: Dirk Cowburn (Saw him wrestle numerous times. What an athlete, he will have an impact like the freshman this year if he's at 165)
174: Ed Ruth (Just seems like a perfect weight for him)
184: Quentin Wright
197: Andrew Campolattano (Wishful thinking)
285: Cameron Wade

Most likely:
125: Nico Megaludis
133: Andrew Long
141: Sam Sherlock
149: Frank Molinaro
157: Dylan Alton/Jim Vollrath
165: David Taylor
174: Dirk Cowburn
184: Ed Ruth
197: Quentin Wright
285: Cameron Wade

Lehigh will be a very good team next year and should end Cornell's run of EIWA championships.

125: Mason Beckman
133: Frank Cagnina
141: Stephen Dutton
149: Anthony Salupo/Joey Napoli
157: Sean Bilodeau/Joey Napoli
165: Brandon Hatchett
174: Austin Meys
184: Robert Hamlin
197: Joe Kennedy
285: Zach Rey

There has been speculation that Napoli could redshirt.

Either one of those line ups would be formidable Laych. However I don't see Wright jumping to 197. PSU is still going to have to fill that hole with someone else & have one of the middle weights ride the pine unfortunately.
