This account you probably are unlikely to trust (I don't), as it's very anon, very trolly, and often wrong:
This account you can probably trust is a real person (I do), which *may make it easier for you to decide how right or wrong or honest it is:
He’s in the student directory as an undergrad student, unless there’s another Jayden Xavier James.
I don't trust anything anymore. It's all AI.
With 5 for 5 and eligibility changes...what will our starting lineup look like in 2027-2028 season?
I will take a swing (with significant backups listed)
125 Lilledahl, Sidun

157 James, Mangano
165 Duke, Sealey
174 Henckel, Cunningham

I'd like to hear (see) your thoughts.....

I posted a week or so ago he was enrolling this year
That’s got to be an old picture - or worse yet, AI - from Basch because it shows Jayden being issued NIKE gear, not the new Addidas gear.
I do not see the "passing of the torch" just yet...You can't simply go on media "hype" and social media opinion. DO THE WORK...Break it down weight-by-weight for yourselves...
Let's look at a 2027-2028 PSU vs OKIE ST dual (of course, using theoretical line ups)
125
Lilledahl vs Villesenor
* Villesenor is very good...but I gotta go with Luke
PSU 3-0
133
Ono vs Forest
* I know, I know...everyone will say "it's folkstyle", but my comeback is "it's Ono...you know, World Champ". True toss up. I say Forest MAY get the first time they wrestle, he won't after that. Overall Ono in a close one
PSU 6-0
141
Blaze vs either Rainey
* easy for me...Blaze all day
PSU 9-0
149
Kasak (yes, Kasak at 149) vs Vega
* Vega is a freak with a crazy motor. Kasak is other worldly strong. Another toss up. I'll allow this one to lean OKST (but don't be surprised if Kasak knocks him off)
PSU 9-3
157
James vs Robideau
* good luck with this one. True toss up. Robideau is scrappy and stingy and can get to his offense...James is a very special talent. I am not going to predict this one...TOSS UP
PSU 9-3 (with 157 toss up)
165
Duke vs Lockett
* sorry, OK ST fans. Duke, Duke, Duke
PSU 12-3 (with 157 toss up)
174
Henckel vs Ryder (yes, Ryder...I think he drops down)
* I will give a healthy Ryder a slight edge here.
PSU 12-6 (with toss up at 157)
184
Welsh vs Berge (I think he will have 1 year left at that point)
* Welsh...not a lot to say here...He's simply better than Berge
PSU 15-6 (with 157 toss up)
197
Barr vs Merrill
* Until it's proven otherwise, it's Barr
PSU 18-6 (with toss up at 157)
285
Connor Mirasola vs Ross
* I know most of you will choose Ross, simply based on his "potential"...I say Connor is crafty and cagey and would not be giving up size. Connor in a "popular opinion" upset.
PSU 21-6 (with toss up at 157)
You have 174 and 285 mixed up. No way we're losing to Zach Ryder at 174, no way. And I think Ross is going to be a monster as long as he stays healthy. Complete monster.
My post was a firm tongue in cheek effort. Penn State isn't backing up any so unless Okie St is planning on a 180 point effort they are chasing second place.
We have a few doomsday fellows who insist 2028 is the year. I keep insisting it ain't happening in 2028 and I doubt 2029 either. 2029 is a bit too far out though, and 2030 is really getting out there. However, it makes little difference, Cowboy OSU will need to really excel if they want a championship. There isn't going to be another 129 point champion for a a few years.
I looked closer at Basch's twitter post,That’s got to be an old picture - or worse yet, AI - from Basch because it shows Jayden being issued NIKE gear, not the new Addidas gear.
Pic shows it's from Insta, from account = mrskjames, a private profile, followed by Casey Cunningham

Basch is pretty transparent about where & how he uses AI Software, including generative image-making, but this is not that, imo
Hard for me to believe that Tyler Kasak cannot crack out lineup???
would clearly be projected at top 3 at 157 and still may be listed as 3rd on PSU
1. Duke
2. James
3. Kasak
4. Sealy. and sealy could be top 7 or 8 in the country right now and 4th..... 4th on our team!
even if Duke bumps up. That probably still leaves Kasak and Sealy behind James?
This is an absolute embarrassment of riches! Hard to believe!

My post was meant as a joke (I included a winking emoji). I posted it on the day the new addidas sportsware/equipment contract went into effect, taking over the Penn State account from Nike. I didn’t mean to put anyone down the rabbit hole of searching a photo’s metadata.I looked closer at Basch's twitter post,

It seems like Ono and Blaze are interchangeable b/t 133 and 141 but more often than not I’m seeing Blaze listed at ‘41 with a projected lineup. I get the Olympic weight argument and Blaze wanting to get comfortable with that weight, but I imagine Ono might be of the same mindset. And it seems like Ono might bit a bit lighter. Just curious if anyone has any info or cares to comment on whether I’m missing something more obvious or reported. Either way, will be a treat to see Luke, Ono, Blaze opening up matches if indeed that’s how it plays out.
Based on interviews it appears they have a decent relationship, I am sure they have worked out who is at what weight or will.
Sharp. Thats Very sharp!!!That’s got to be an old picture - or worse yet, AI - from Basch because it shows Jayden being issued NIKE gear, not the new Addidas gear.
Ahahahaha, I was already too in the weeds during that first read.
Came back through today and what's the first thing that jumps off the page, into my eye? Your winky emoji! Oww, get it out of my eye.
Sorry I missed jokiness first time around
An Offseason Look at Penn State Wrestling's Top Roster Battles
The Nittany Lions return a loaded lineup as they seek their sixth straight NCAA title.

He made a hard cut (that I thought very difficult and unlikely) to 141 as a Freshman. He has shown that he can make a tough cut.
I was trying to put together the best lineup while making possible (or probable) assumptions. It'd make the most sense if the cut to 149 would be doable for him. It is a far better option than facing off with Duke or James for a starting spot.
Don't you agree?
How has he done vs Van Ness when intermittently healthy the last two years?
TK was going to redshirt as a freshman, but stepped in when SVN injured…. Does anyone know how they have done against each other, and has that evolved over the last three years?

Blaze needs to hold 61kg until late October he will be back at 133. 141 Ono Desmond Davis will be figuring that weight out I don't think Herring is beating those guys yet. I think James will end up the 157
If Jayden Xavier James is one and the same, it seems the grey shirt is no longer a possibility

That may be but Blaze is a lot taler then ONO and fill like he can fill out 141 better but that is a lot of "ifs" I think if it coms down to Ono, Desmond or Davis... we have a high AA at 141 with Ono being a good chance at a finalist. it is also crazy to think that Kasak may not be able to crack our lineup??? Duke, James, Kasak, Sealy all potentially at 57 is absurd. I know that Duke is moving up and I project he pulls a Levi and goes to 174.
