    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    We're not going to redshirt a returning undefeated national champion because he feels bad about hurting a teammate's feelings. This isn't junior high. Sergio and Swiderski are both professionals and understand well how this thing works. Swiderski went 3-3 at NCAAs in the weakest of the 10...

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    133 might be my biggest question mark for next season. Seems likely that Jax and Sergio will both bump up. Assuming that happens, we'd have Jayden Raney, Ronnie Ramirez, or Cael Hughes (tough cut). While I view Sprat and Zinkin as career 125s, I guess one of them could bump to 133 as another...

    I wouldn't lump Spratley in with Facundo.

    I don't think either Knox or Jake Dailey does much for us. If they wanted to come here and be a room guy and not take significant NIL money, I'd be okay with it, but that's the extent of my interest.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    Agreed. I would love to see Ryder give it a shot at 174 in the second semester. Make Dee and Facundo battle it out for the 165 spot. Neither of them has earned the right to have a spot gifted to them.

    The Cody to 184 talk comes from people just looking at him. He looks like a small 197, so people assume he can go down. He's still young. He'll slowly fill out the singlet a little better as he gets older, and people will stop suggesting he go down.

    A lot of it is youth too. Sergio, Landon, and Cody are already great at winning. They are going to get a lot more dominant in the coming years. Look at the improvement Josh Barr made from freshman to sophomore year.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    I love Swiderski and Dee and Facundo and Ryder. They all seem like great guys and are no doubt tough as hell. I also loved Tagen Jamison and Teague Travis and thought they were great guys and tough as hell. But I've said it all along, if you go out and score less than 10 points at NCAAs, you...

    It'll probably be weird for our young guys to see Gallagher so empty.

    If Lockett, Routledge, Guerrero, or Facundo were getting the job done, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Jayden James would be an unquestioned Day 1 starter in Stillwater.

    Someone needs to have a talk with our equipment managers. Jax ran out in a golf polo.

    2026 NCAA Wrestling Championship Official Thread

    Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but our three champs made it through the three most difficult brackets. They each faced the highest seed they could have faced in every single bout. The only exception was Landon drawing the #21 seed instead of the #12 in his second round matchup. Everything else...

    The universe of guys who want to transfer here is growing. The universe of guys we'd be interested in is shrinking. Outside of PSU starters (who aren't going anywhere) I'm not sure there is anyone in the country at 125, 133, 141, 149, 157, 197, or 285 who would be worth pursuing. I can make a...

    Yeah that would have sucked. But I can't say I have much fun watching Dee either.
