Makes since for him to though since 132 has some studs. I do believe 126 is one of the weaker weight classes this year in central ohio so him dropping would be smart and one or two of those 120s should bump. Definitely some talent there.

  Agree with this. I think 126 will see some major changes come sectionals. Right now, it's way weaker than 132 and 120 in terms of depth.

  I agree.... I think we will see 2 or 3 kids shift up or down to be at 126. 120 and 132 and 138 are pretty loaded.

  Wonder what 38s might cut down for a better shot at the Schott? as has been said on here many times, pretty solid group of top four or five wrestlers at that weight.

  Could be wrong, but I don't see any 138 pounders cutting to 126...

  No but I heard a rumor Bobby Smith was dropping to 126. Probably just hear say.

  lol i meant 38 to 32, and Smith might make 38 but i don't think 26 is in the cards lol!!

  he has been weighing in at like 137 138 anyways. I think he could drop. He is eligible by alpha weights i do believe. Anyone confirm?

  That's what I thought. I honestly don't think he will drop, but I have heard on multiple occasions from pretty reliable sources that he has been thinking about it.

  26 is too much, but he would be a force at 32 -- at 38 he takes the fourth spot at best, IMO

  I have heard that the reason he cant go to 138 is because Lawler is a senior and worked his butt off this summer so Coach DiSabato told Bobby he couldn't drop to 138 and 132 is wilson spot. Just some water cooler chatter I have heard!

  according to trackwrestling, lawyer can also go 26, although wilson's min is 32... again, assuming the weights on trackwrestling are true alpha weights -- not sure if they are...

  at the beggining of the season when i saw bobby at 145 i was shocked but assumed this was the reason why!

  And about smith going 126 i wouldnt rule it out, i heard his cut freshman year to 103 was TERRIBLE, so it seems like hes used to dropping some pounds.

  lol, that would be CRAZY!

  Bobby is as disciplined as any wrestler - question is can his weight management plan, at this date, allow him to get to 126 by sectionals?
