    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    I dont see Mitch moving up and I think if Kasak is healthy enough to go…Duke redshirts.

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Given Cunningham’s performance (silver) at U20s At 79 kg (173.8lbs), how competitive will 174 be between Henckle and Cunningham

    Burkes sister is a Penn State Sophomore. Any room at the Inn for him? He is class of 2028.

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

    Great to hear! They are looking for a coach…Gomez is looking for a job!

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Cael is 46, Varner is 39 and Synder who isn’t that big a person, is 30. Brown is a 215lber. But the rest of your comment seem right on.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Iowa State Bigman Daniel Herrera (our U23 representative) has entered the portal. Given he traveled overseas with seven Penn Staters and no doubt formed relationships…would he consider PSU…even though he might not start? He would add great depth and be a great workout partner for Cole and push...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    For those making Cole/Ant the Champ comparisons…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...

    tOSU dual of the century - deja vu

    So with Cannon out…it appears the dual is out of reach for OSU (I always thought it was…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)…I think we’ll be just fine next year.

    IOWA WEEK!

    Assume we get Harvey Luddington Friday. He still has dates available…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.
