    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Basch is right...Rowley is wrong. James is wrestling this year

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    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 *...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    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 133 Ono, Desmond, Burnett 141 Blaze, Davis 149 Kasak, Shepherd, Herring, Perry 157 James, Mangano 165...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Heck...Our "theoretical" 2nd team would be a borderline trophy and assuredly top 10 team: 125 Wentzel 133 Desmond 141 Davis 149 Pierce 157 Kasak 165 Sealey 174 Henckel 184 Cunningham 197 Ellis 285 Cole Mirasola

    I think he is definitely moving up (either to 165 or 174). He and Mitchell will man the 165 and 174 lb weight classes for us...just not sure which at which. My best guess: 125 Lilledahl 133 Ono 141 Blaze 149 Van Ness 157 James (or Kasak) 165 Messenbrink 174 Duke 184 Welsh 197 Barr...

    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    Additional note: The game of "musical chairs" that the new rule causes REALLY SUCKS. We will literally have (7) AA level guys on the bench: Desmond, Davis, Kasak, Sealey, Henckel, Cunningham, Cole M and Pierce would be a fringe AA type guy.

    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    Going back to the original post...What will our line up be in 2026-2027? Noting that there is exactly ZERO benefit to any kind of sitting out...is there reason for PJ and Mitchell sitting out this summer (which they do not typically do)? I think they are making a transition up weight classes...

    I can, for sure. He will be one of the options

    Been watching Karenbauer since middle school. He's a "light" version of Seidel. Similar build, similar game. Needs to get much better on his neutral game and attacks, but he is getting better every year. He'd be a nice pick up

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Agree 100% They have always had what I thought was an overrated ranking across the board. That IS NOT the case this year...they are a top 4 loaded team if Miller goes the 2nd semester and they stay healthy

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    That is so painfully true for VT! I am a PSU guy from birth (parents lived in Boalsburg and had season tickets to all sports for many years) who came up watching Prescott, Kolat, McCoy, etc and have lived in Virginia since 1996. I have watched the emergence of the VT program (my son is a 2012...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    I disagree... With the lineup of 125 Ventresca 133 Seidel 141 Bassett 149 Henson 157 Gaj 165 Church (or 2nd semester, Miller?) 174 Burton 184 Desiante or Ford (my $$ is on Lane Ford) 197 Sasso 285 Mullen They will score a lot of points. On paper, this is a trophy team (top 4)

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Personally, I HATE 5 for 5 I'd be on board for 5 for 4, though...Why wasn't that even considered? It just seems to me that that would have been the most logical step from where we are currently. 5 for 5 bastardizes every record for all history
