    '26 USA U23 Nationals, 5/29-31, thread

    Definitely but one of Jax or Marcus, one of Robideau or Henson, James, Sinclair, and Merrill is still a hell of a 5 man team. I think Luke and Bassett have a great shot at making the senior team but I doubt anyone would be shocked if they both lost at Final X. Hell, even Levi isn’t anything...

    That’s a pretty salty lineup. Would expect to bring home a bunch of medals with that team

    '26 Final X, 6/19, thread

    I agree and am picking Blaze but I wouldn’t be that surprised if Jax just wins 2 straight. It really is just an unknown and the most interesting match of Final X. Jax has jumped multiple levels since last year. I think Blaze has as well but it hasn’t been as obvious as Jax. Such a fun matchup...

    '26 USA U20 World Team Trials, 5/29, thread

    Some of these U20’s are stacked and a few are pretty awful. 57kg is absolutely incredible. So many elite guys You have Cortez sitting out and then there is Burnett, Mills, Munaretto, Witt, Botero, Aslikyan, Kenny, Zinkin, Schwab, Farnsworth, Ramirez, and Seacrist. Whoever comes out of the...

    '26 USA U20 World Team Trials, 5/29, thread

    I would love it but I don’t think he’s quite ready for Lockett. Last year Lockett beat James pretty handily. This year I think James reverses that result but just showing how much change can happen in a year. Howard is awesome but Dee with a year in a college room against a junior in hs is...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    That’s a blow for Wyoming. He was 5th at the US open U20’s. He had a really good tournament going 6-2. I thought he would slide in nice at 174 for Wyoming with Neitenbach, Novak, and Carroll at 184, 197, and heavy. That would’ve been a solid upper weights. Manny Rojas transferred in so maybe he...

    I agree. I just wish they kept it like before. 2 weeks before seniors is way too close unfortunately

    '26 USA U23 Nationals, 5/29-31, thread

    No worries. You always bring great information to this forum. I always appreciate your posts. All the world teams are straight forward except for U23’s which is anything but. I wonder if Luke and Blaze make the senior team if they will do U23’s as well?

    '26 USA U23 Nationals, 5/29-31, thread

    Just listened to Basch and Willie and they said Jayden is the U23 rep if he wants it and they said it sounds like he is planning on competing at U23’s. That’s awesome to hear. He likely makes the U20 team as well. Making 2 age level world teams as a 17 year old is pretty ******* sweet. He is...

    Is James our U23 rep at 74kg if he wants it?

    '26 USA Senior World Team Trials, 5/14-15, thread

    Asher or Henckel? Rocco would absolutely be the favorite but those 2 could challenge him. I would say Connor but his days of seeing 184 seem to be long over

    '26 USA U20 World Team Trials, 5/29, thread

    I get that but it makes more sense to make a world team than make 86kg for just 1 tournament in the off season. I’m sure he thinks he can win at either weight but the difference in beating Sinclair or Mastny is huge. It will be good for him to test himself against Sinclair but I don’t give him...

    Michael White should go up to 92kg for this. He’s not beating Sinclair but he could beat Mastny to make the team at 92kg

    Cam Howard is entered at 70kg. He is already the U17 rep. I would love to see how he does against Robideau Asher is in at 79kg. Hopefully he gets a rematch in the best of the 3 final against Burton

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Corby said James weighed in at 162 yesterday and 161 at the open. Seems like 157 could be in the cards
