And he’s being well paid for it according to his IG story, which I’m fine with. Would have preferred he not say that as other things he posts

He did but Carter talked about wanting to go up and any future FS wrestling would be at 86kg

Unless he plans to wrestle 79kg at the next world team trials. It's not an Olympic weight but he isn't on the current Olympic team. He has to wait four more years to compete for an Olympic spot so in the meantime he could choose to go 79kgs for the next World Championships and 79kg is 174lbs. This is what Jason Nolf did for a while in-between Olympic trials.

Well it would make sense if he did. He isn't too short considering it's clear from pics he is taller than AB. He may need some months to get up to weight though. It would allow Facundo to be inserted into the lineup without a Haines redshirt. It will be interesting to see how they handle the MM, Haines and Facundo situation. Haines, who just won a title, couldn't get to Facundo's legs in freestyle. I don't know how a folkstyle match would go but he controlled Haines from neutral. You want all three of those guys in the lineup if you ask me but Carter is going to go whatever weight he wants.

I would think he would be the favorite at 197, even if he his slightly undersized. Dean won it undersized, and the 2 big dogs at the weight graduated.

Every year I think that too many people on this board get too excited trying to predict the lineup way too far in advance. However, after Carter's announcement I keep thinking about what next year's line up is going to look like. Am I wrong to think that it could (should?) be better than last year's?

Now if we can just get an announcement from Kirkvliet!

Your last sentence is the Key. We have no HWT that’s needed to crush our records and make this the best team PSU ever had.
