    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    This really sucks for Stanford having Provo, Knox, Garvin, and Norman all in the portal. If they all came back that team could get on the podium. Those 4 plus Cardenas, Valencia, and Posada is a stacked team

    This was Mitchell’s coming out party. He opened a bunch of eyes with his US open title and win over Paniro but making the U20 team and beating Levi put the wrestling world on notice. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a kid make a bigger jump in levels than MM did during that 2022 summer.

    Entries are heating up at the U20 level. At 57kg Sammy Sanchez, Isaiah Cortez (Cornell), and Rylan Seacrist (ASU) have entered. Bo Bassett is in at 65kg. 70kg has Landon Robideau and Melvin Miller. Jayden James and Kody Routledge ( OkSt) at 74kg. At 86 both Nick(Ohio State) and Jason Singer...

    Is Joey Blaze in the portal? OkST worries me there. Lockett to 174 and slot Blaze in at 165. That would suck

    Tyler Eise from Nebraska in the portal. Figured he would start at 174-184 depending on where Minto went

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    I think Henson matches up really well with Vega. He’s big, strong, and can just power through his attacks instead of getting stuck on the mat below the knee where Vega is deadly. SVN fits the bill also. He rarely attacks below the knee and usually finishes with high doubles or knee picks. SVN...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Connor Mirasola? He’s the guy without a clear path to the lineup who has a world medal in freestyle.

    He is a much better freestyler so if he has Olympic aspirations staying put makes sense. He seems to really enjoy it at PSU. Sometimes there is more than starting all 4 years but I wouldn’t blame him if he left. He’s definitely AA caliber right now

    Real American Freestyle

    I’m not a fan of the mma/retired guys/influencer matches but if it allows for matches like Dake vs Keck and Snyder vs Taz I’ll take it. Those are high level matchups we don’t get to see often enough. Suffering through the other matches is worth it to me to see some truly elite guys get after it

    What happened in the Dake vs Keck match?

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    You are way underestimating Henckel. He’s a title contender next year at 174. James might be as well but he could probably use a redshirt. We have all seen what a year in the room does

    Really nice win for Sinclair. Saipudinov was world bronze last year

    There is no spot for him anyways. Who is he beating to make the lineup?
