I'm not disagreeing with you--some wrestlers will make hard weight cuts this time of year.
I will add however that some of the upper level wrestlers will wrestle up in weight throughout the regular season for more difficult competition and then drop down at subs. Some wrestle up to separate two kids from the same club. Some are right at a weight limit and will wrestle up just to eliminate any concerns about making weight, but are willing to watch it closer for the qualifiers.
Again, I'm not advocating little guys cutting weight, I'm just saying you can't necessarily say that kids wrestling 88 all year are making a hard cut since they are going to subs at 84.
