ACC Offseason News '20 -> '21

[_DBHoops]

So far, we have some changes at NCSU:
H. Hidlay 157 -> 174
T. Wilson 141 -> 149
Daniel Bullard (174) gone
Thomas Bullard (165) back
Nick Reenan supposedly done, but not announced yet.

I think this means 133/141 is some combo of Trombley and Ryan Jack, then Ed Scott moves up to 157 and Trumble takes over at 197. Jack/Scott/Trumble all have redshirts available though. It seems like a weird time to be announcing these weight changes, is that normal?

UNC has four senior starters (Monday, Devin Kane, Gunning and Josh McClure), not sure if any or all are coming back.

I don't think Duke had any senior starters this year and they add the second Finesilver back in, so they should be improved.

Aiello and Hayes were both RS seniors for UVa. I wouldn't be surprised if neither came back, but that's just a feeling. I don't see a road to a conference title for either one.

Korbin is the big one for VT, haven't heard whether he'll be back for a seventh year. Prata was their other senior and he's already announced he's transferring. I would be surprised to see John Borst stick around in Blacksburg since it's pretty obvious Catka will start next year; Borst has two years left.

Great update thanks!

Hidlay to 174 is a surprising move. He seems so much smaller than Trent while still looking very filled out. I am very curious to see how he looks at 174. Will his strength translate up 2 weights? I would have loved to have seen a Wentzel/Hidlay underhook battle at 165.

174 is one of the weakest classes in the conference for sure. Even up two classes, I don't see Hayden losing to a guy like Lautt or Howard so he should be able to finish off a 5-year ACC unbeaten streak.

NC State had posted that Reenan and Wilson announced both were coming back

Duke loses Nathan Tomasello from their staff. Sucks for the league.

Korbin Myers is coming back, and the rumor mill is saying Mekhi will be at 174 next year.

Stinks for Duke hopefully they can find a good replacement would love to see them competitive again
