    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    I really want to see Facundo at 165. I think this option does wonders for both him and Lockett. Is Ronnie a true 125 or 133? Or in between? Jax can win any year at any weight. He will have a redshirt year and possibly an Olympic year if he wants to use them. I think the Raneys being...

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    That would be awesome. I want Ross to redshirt. I recently watched his US Open match against Mirasola and he couldn't do anything against him and Mirasola isn't that good. I think Ross would greatly benefit from a redshirt year to get bigger and better. Who could fill in for one year at HWT?

    No, I agree. I think I have created this fantasy world in my head where David Taylor would have everything he did regardless of how we did the first year and that's just not realistic. Hamiti and Hendrickson winning NCs were big surprises. Both had to beat two previous big-name national...

    Agreed. My idea is that in order to beat a super team you have to build a super team and also wait for the other super team to show some weaknesses. Looking ahead with what we have and have coming our roster looks insane in 2028 and 2029. Could we find a way to keep that going in 2029 as well...

    LMAO, I am NOT bitching. I'm having a blast with what's going on. It's been an amazing, fun past two years. The program couldn't be in better shape. I am on the record stating the only thing I care about is a team national championship. And as awesome as the first two years have been we are...

    I cannot argue with the first part of your statement. It is a very strong argument that we don't get the super recruits we did without the amazing momentum and excitement generated from DT's first year. I disagree on the second part. And I'm up for the criticism. Cael did this and it paid off...

    I see that point - Hamiti and Hendrickson winning national championships sparked the excitement and showed what DT can do for your career. Spratley making finals. Fish making AA. However, I think DT would still have been able to produce a Top-10 team and recruit like he did. He IS that guy. We...

    And this strategy potentially has cost us one national championship already. He has to adapt. Penn State is not just winning titles, they are breaking scoring records every year.

    Who cares if you get 2nd or 10th?!? The ONLY thing that matters at Oklahoma State is the National Championship. If any program in any sport can truly say that, it's us. Yes the last two years have been a lot of fun. But we've still been blown out by Penn State. We have to get strategic. Consider...

    This makes me want to puke. This is my only knock on DT. Not strategically redshirting. The team above, assuming it was a possibility eligibility wise, wins the national championship. Ugh.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    Going back to 2021 and looking at Flo Big Board Top-10 Recruits it's pretty easy to see why Penn State is doing what they are doing. And why we are behind but could be catching up very fast. A comparison below: 2021: OSU 0, PSU 2 - Facundo #2, Shayne Van Ness #4, (Richie Figs #1, Ayala #5...

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    Good question - IMO a "super recruit" is a Top-5 to Top-10 overall recruit regardless of weight. A Top-5 to Top-10 on Flo's "Big Board." Not someone ranked #1 in their weight class only. Big difference actually. Some weight classes will have multiple wrestlers in the Top-10. We have a lot of...

    This. Look what Jax did to the very best folkstyle wrestlers. Only Davino didn't get bonused and he was hanging on for dear life all match long. Davino was in defensive/"I don't want to get bonused" mode the entire time. Not once did he threaten. He took one shot and Jax scored off of it. The...

    Respectfully, put me on the 180 side of this. I think Jax will destroy Ono in folkstyle. Every single entanglement will be an opportunity for Jax to score. Ono takedowns will be opportunities for Jax in folkstyle. His ball and chain is going to cause major issues for someone who's done freestyle...

    My 2028-2031 plan would like us to get Braxton Amos for a one-year rental at 285. Redshirt Ross for development and 15-20 more pounds of solid weight. I would also like to redshirt Dee at 165, move Facundo down to 165, medical redshirt for Ryder, and find a 174 and 184 for next year. Who's...
