    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    I seen a few people that immediately said on X he's going to VT. I rule nothing out but I definitely don't see that with Gaj, Bassett, and Henson from 41-57 in some order.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Idk why but I feel like this is someone Cael and Co would look at? Challenge for a spot at 41 right away and then take over for SVN next year? Maybe the coffee was a little too strong today. Also trying to figure out if hes listed as a 41 why he wrestled Sealey at 57 at the scuffle. I cant...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    I know you weren't doing this to be a smart ***, but 5 wrestlers (as of now including Levi) in the 16 years Cael has coached here. Just want to point out Hall started out in redshirt, and Lee spent his senior season in the room. Not officially a redshirt but the closest thing to it. Kasak...

    My fault, you're right.

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    I think the plan started last year when Kasak took his redshirt. Most guys at PSU redshirt at some point in their career. Levi is the only one coming to mind right now that did not. Duke and Kasak both had the talent this year to win it all. Duke taking a redshirt next year makes sense...

    '26 Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic thread

    There are people saying he is. I have watched the videos and they have definitely been odd. I know people that are actually struggling with mental problems so I won't say thats what his problem is or isn't. Personally, I think the issue is he wanted to be with the NLWC more than the NLWC...

    I believe the juice has been squeezed, which is why they lost the Browns (Elijah and Karson). Did we benefit from it? Yes. Do I like the fact that a Pitt program in arguably the best area of arguably the best state (this one isn't as arguable) can not get top local recruits due to money, no.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Yes, very high motor. With Sidun, Burnett, Blaze, Ono, Desmond, etc all down there I get why he maybe wasn't a high priority. However, I love the way he competes and will be a fan. I really want Pitt to attract and hold that type of talent. I think Gavin is a good coach, but they have little...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Not really portal related but Karson Brown flipped from Pitt to Ohio State. I really like his pace. He wrestled Jax tough in the finals at Powerade losing 20-13. It was a good match.

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    My mistake, I wasnt talking about next year. Personal opinion I think Kasak goes 57, duke rs MM 65. Following year if James actually walks around at 62 and doesnt grow much, he could go 57, with Duke 65 Henckel 74, etc

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Someone on here said Jayden James was walking around at 162. If he doesnt get any bigger, that solves a potential log jam with him making 57, duke at 65. Duke looked huge and I believe said it took a lot of discipline to make 57. But I believe he also said 57 isnt out of the question next...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    You say it very matter of factly. We've seen Desmond this year at 41. I believe his best win at 41 was against Ragusin SV who was a shell of himself this year and not a NQ. We've also seen Ono win the 24 Asian games at 65 kg. I realize freestyle and folkstyle are different animals, but in my...
