EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

[tullfan68]

MM will give us way more points at 165 at Nationals

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

You could say the same thing about every weight other than 125, 197, 285.

Is 285 settled?

 

[Nitlion1986]

Is 285 settled?

I think it is settled, but we might see a wrestle off at the Black Knight. It won't be nearly as confrontational as a match between youngster versions of Scott and Josh Moore.

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Is 285 settled?

Good point. Completely forgot about that one. We have 125 and 197.

 

[District 4]

There was apparently some deadline to apply for people opting into the old rules and he did is what I was told

That was the end of july i thought so injury would have happened after that

Oral arguments are today in the Wisne vs NCAA case that decides if Levi and Mendez are back

Will THIS be the final decision, or will the losing side appeal it to the next level?

If Wisne rules in favor of the NCAA, Levi is done. He doesn't want to return that badly.

It sounds like the NCAA has actually been winning these but they're losing when players file in their own jurisdiction (shocker) The winners are essentially football/basketball players who probably have lawyers (funded by boosters) working around the clock and creating headaches with injunctions.

In the trade we often call that “zealous representation” but it’s understandable that some might see such work as “creating headaches” because often that’s exactly what it does (and/or what it’s intended to do).

Your last paragraph is spot on, imo.

 

[Joejitsu]

125 Luke
133 Ono or Blaze
141 Blaze / Desmond
149 SVN
157 Kasak
165 Mitch
174 PJ
184 Rocco
197 Barr
Hvy Connor / Cole

That is updated without Scooter and without Levi
obviously still some unknowns at 33/41 and at 57 through 74

No it hasn't and my guess is in the next 2 weeks.

I am hearing it's going to happen on next Monday

Ok thanks for that I hadn't heard

just saw a video from Riley betting stating Ohio governor signed something that says Mendez can wrestle in Ohio as his ruling supersedes ncaa rulings. don't know if legit or not or this means he can't wrestle outside of Ohio or what.. Clip49611

Seems like the NCAA could easily say, “if he participates with the team in any matches, all duals in which he participates would be forfeit.” Much more of the story will need to be written.

I posted an article about it on the Levi /mendez thread. It means nothing besides they can compete within the state of ohio . Nothing will come of it . At this point just be down with the circus and 2022 guys are done. I was for them but it's become a mess

One would think that the Governor has bigger issues to "wrestle"!

what sucks is - the NCAA isn't in any way justified in not giving the class of 2022 a fifth year.

I'm just surprised the courts are ignoring the clearly obvious "harm" being done to the athletes.
