    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    Dave's wife told me that OSU lied about bringing in a freestyle coach which is what Schultz wanted. ou did hire a freestyle coach which made the decision easy for Dave to transfer and for Mark to enroll.

    Tagan was one of my favorites in previous years but he can’t score if he doesn’t shoot. Also, his lack of foot speed left him susceptible in getting out of dangerous situations. If Tagan leaves, I will continue to support him from afar except against our guys.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    I would like to keep Swid for his leadership and toughness. He could wrestle at 149 or 157 if needed.

    Dreshaun Ross

    Doucet told us last fall that he was around 245. I agree that if Ross can put on 15-20 good pounds, he will have enough mass to hang with most heavyweights.

    He wants the OW and he knows who is wrestling the last match.

    The five in the semis are AA plus Ryder because of the forfeit. Ski and Doucet have to win at least one more match in the consos to make AA.

    Seidel should have been the 2 seed.

    I was hoping for a 7-3 night as I thought we would lose at 184,174, and 125. When Troy won, I had visions of 8-2 or even 9-1. But Dee decided that he or his private coach were smarter than DT.

    Holy crap, Jax!!!

    Meanwhile, in the Big Ten championships…

    I don’t disagree with your premise but people are discounting one of Jax’s biggest weapons, his ability to score with his defense. Jax has scored with his insane scrambles from perilous situations. Larkin had a good single to start their match and Jax spent 45 seconds turning Larkin every which...

    133 Seeding Predicament

    I saw on X where they rank the top guys by wins on automatic qualifiers. Davino and Jax have 7 wins, Blaze has 6 wins, and the surprising one is Seidel with 2 wins.

    I still believe Seidel is Jax’s biggest roadblock to being a champion.

    My problem with Dee is that he hasn’t improved this season. Swiderski, Facundo, and others have made marked improvements this season while Dee is not much better than his first match.

    Two great days of wrestling until Dee’s no show. Larkin has the frame for the 174 weight. Lando gets him next time as he knows to watch for the ankle pick. Facundo learned a lesson about grabbing legs on a rangy guy and not letting go. Troy was solid and I’m so glad he has the monkey off his...

    Official Big 12 Championship Thread

    I never heard the music until Doucet’s final match and I thought it was strange to play music during the matches. At least it quietly being played. We wrestled well today. We were aggressive and wrestled intelligently for the most part. 8 in the finals and we should win at least 4 of those...
