    2026 US Open

    Maybe it would be different this year. Mirasola did beat Ross 7-5 at last year's US Open, as well as 4-1 and 5-2 in the finals of the U20 WTT last May. Merrill's size seemed to be a big problem for Mirasola where it hasn't been as big of a problem for Ross.

    It seems logical he is above 157 even. He won a CA state championship at 150 and the Doc Buchanan at 153 this year. He is still just a junior. In Flo's latest rankings he is ranked #4 at 150 behind two seniors and another Junior, Penn St commit Clinton Shepherd. Even if he is a 157 there could...

    I think Berge would be a solid 1-year fill-in if Ryder is out. He is a 5x HS state champ, a 3x NCAA qualifier (seeds of 9,5,13), 1x All-American, 2X U20 World medalist, several quality wins including over Jaxson Smith, Neitenbach (dominate wins 4x), McEnelly (in freestyle). Obviously, I am...

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    61 kg is not one of the 6 Olympic weights. Those that do normally wrestle 61 kg have to go 57 or 65 to make the Olympic team.

    @Corby2 posted on another site of a rumor of Lorenzo Norman to PSU. He also said it didn't make much sense, because.... if that turned out to be true, PSU would have at 174 and 184: 174 Lorenzo Norman - Junior 174 William Henckel - Redshirt Freshman 174/184 - Asher Cunningham - Redshirt...

    If OSU were in the transfer market, what are the most likely weights and who would be at play? 285- 1 year rental. Feldman would fit but some talk that PSU is interested. 184 - 1 year rental if Ryder is out after surgery and/or moves to 174 (doesn’t seem likely to me). Not sure of a difference...

    He comes from KD Training Center and all their top athlete (Jayden James, PJ Duke, and Rocco Welsh) are at or signed with PSU. Both Jayden and Rocco were rumored to OSU almost one year ago today. Both doors closed simultaneously. That might tell us that he will be an up hill climb, but he will...

    2026 NCAA Wrestling Championship Official Thread

    If there is one thing we know, seedings mean very little in the blood round. All our guys will have tough matches (except for any forfeits). This next round of consos is the most fun to watch as a fan, especially if you are in the arena. Wish I were.

    Hodgins is currently #9 at 190. That weight has been a bloodbath this season with only White staying above it. Everyone has been beating each other up. Hodgins has lost to Tsarni twice this year but Tsarni has lost to other guys pushing him to 8th thus affecting Hodgins ranking. Holman has been...

    Currently, he is 47 and Cache Williams is 80. Jaedan (I misspelled in the first post) is a very good football player and only wrestles during the school season. I bet he climbs if he begins to wrestle some in the off season.

    "(P)otential starter" is a short list considering all of the young guns currently in the room. Class of 2027 is just Villasenor (3X champ). The Coweta tandem of Cason Craft and Legend Ellis seem to be D1 guys. Both are 3X finalists and 2X champs. Craft lost his bid to be a 4Xer last night. More...
