    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    For those making Cole/Ant the Champ comparisonsā€¦Cole was a redshirt freshman. Cassar only had one year as a starter, his last. Also, Cassar is significantly taller than Cole. Cole is suffering from crazy unrealistic expectations because we have eight or nine other guys who we would be...

    Does Bassett still have U23 eligibility? Or is he 24 already? šŸ˜‰

    tOSU dual of the century - deja vu

    So with Cannon outā€¦it appears the dual is out of reach for OSU (I always thought it wasā€¦but admittedly they had a shot) with that will Tan Tom, the guy who medical forfeited his own healthy son to drop to the consolation rounds of bigs rather than face Retherford, duck anyone else?

    Expected Team Points 1/20/26 - The Mark Twain Edition

    Henckle, maybe Cunningham (he doesnt cut much for 184), maybe Kasak, Duke (who wrestled 172 in HS last year), or Messenbrink moves up. I would be happy with any of the above. Add getting Ono, and Desmond into the line up (somewhere)ā€¦I think weā€™ll be just fine next year.

    IOWA WEEK!

    Assume we get Harvey Luddington Friday. He still has dates availableā€¦just wondering if Brands pulls his shirt for rest of season. Zelesky was fired after his only not top 5 finish (seventh place) just two Years out from BigTen Coach of the year and not terribly long after three NCAA...

    2026 Southern Scuffle tournament thread

    Nobody calls it a freaking Metcalf! Don Rohn learned is from Wade Schalles and taught it for years in Northampton. Don won an NCAA title with it as did his nephew Rob. All PA boys long before Metcalf.

    2026 Southern Scuffle tournament thread

    Shoulders are a *****! I first hurt mine in 1978 during Freshman football! Never been right. Three surgeries later I was recently told I need a total replacement. A kid that went to my HS Alama matter (Bergen Catholic) was a beast. Three time Jersey champ (Johnny Sebastian) had a very tough...

    PSU Recruiting Thread

    Sad news that Cal Baptist is dropping their program, but they do have a freshman 285 who was a Fargo Champ and Wisconsin state champ. Full sized HWT. AWA kid. Maybe the Mirisolaā€™s could reach out and get their former teammate to come to Happy Valley and add some depth at 285. Kid is on a...

    Drexel and Lehigh this weekend

    I had a torn Labrum in 1986. Two surgeries later, still very messed up. Thatā€™s a tough injury.

    Press Conference

    Did Cael actually say that Marcus Blaze was ā€œas good of a wrestler as thereā€™s ever beenā€? WOW. Canā€™t wait to see what he does this year!

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    Tan Tom crying again. Occasionally I think Brands is the whiniest coach in the sport, narrowly beating out Manning. But then Tan Tom reminds me he is still the GOAT. Cael Derangement Syndrome patient zero.

    Clarion Open

    I have known Dellagatta his whole life. Kid is mentally and physically tough. He didnā€™t get much love in the recruiting circuit because he took 4th in NJ States at 175 lbs as a Sophomore and committed to Cornell to follow his older brother early in Junior year. But the kid hit a massive...
