2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

This sequence is exactly correct. Brown shirted at Iowa State for a year, then took a 2-year mission, then re-emerged in State College.

Im starting to forget some stuff but wrestling isn't one just yet

 

[District 4]

I've perused this board for years, but have never bothered making a profile since I don't know much about wrestling and thus can't really add anything meaningful to the discussions.

Aside from being a massive sacrifice and basically requiring you to take two years off from practicing your sport (as HOA242n! described), one cannot simply decide to go on an LDS mission one day then leave the next. You have to be a baptized member of the faith for at least a year to be considered. Even then the process of applying to go is an onerous, months long process that includes interviews with two layers of clergy where you would have to convince them you actually believe the church and its doctrine are true. As well as attest to the living of its rules, IE no coffee or alcohol, paying a 10% tithe, chastity rules, etc.

This on top of what HOA242n! describes as an extremely taxing, regimented and dedicated 2 years of service.

So I could be wrong, but I don't think Cole and Henckel would be going on an LDS mission, although I'm sure they will do a whole lot of good no matter what mission program it is.

Cael said in his interview that both of

I also know a wealthy family in AZ and their sons mission was local and he lived at home .

I'm sure there are plenty of people right around NLWC who need converting.

Wake me up when we’re talking about wrestling again

So looks like Mitchell at 174 is a done deal. I remember the good old days last year when I first mentioned that was going to happen. People got mad because of Henckel and called me a dumpster fire. My inbox is always open for apologies lol

 

[HOA242n!]

The Catholic Church has a variety of mission programs, some lasting around 9 months, others 1-2 years. (Plus some shorter ones that wouldn't apply here.)



IIRC when Sasquatch (Tanner Hall) took his Mormon mission, his physical training was limited to pushups, situps, and running.

Most missions are to rural, literally dirt-poor third world outposts, so I'd expect Henckel and Mirasola to have zero wrestling training while away. Or maybe Cael set up an exchange program with Japan to offset Ono.

In my neighborhood are a few former and two current BYU football players (including my next-door neighbor), neighbor on the other side is a former BYU women's soccer player, a current BYU volleyball player (who is married to a current UVU basketball player), a MLB pitcher who went to BYU, a BYU track coach, a co-host of BYUsportsnation, and countless employees of the school - the literal epicenter of LDS sports culture. We're not BYU fans at all (and frankly, they have some of the most annoying fans), but they don't hold it against us. Nonstop groaning at neighborhood activities about how missions were a hindrance to collegiate and professional sports careers.

When I first heard it, I did not get the impression that it was an LDS mission for Mirasola and Henckel; has it been confirmed that it is?

It is not an LDS mission. Those are for 2 years.

some of you need to see the 'Book of Mormon' play.
