EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions
- Thread starter backdrft76-1
- Start date
I think it is settled, but we might see a wrestle off at the Black Knight. It won't be nearly as confrontational as a match between youngster versions of Scott and Josh Moore.
Oral arguments are today in the Wisne vs NCAA case that decides if Levi and Mendez are back
Will THIS be the final decision, or will the losing side appeal it to the next level?
If Wisne rules in favor of the NCAA, Levi is done. He doesn't want to return that badly.
It sounds like the NCAA has actually been winning these but they're losing when players file in their own jurisdiction (shocker) The winners are essentially football/basketball players who probably have lawyers (funded by boosters) working around the clock and creating headaches with injunctions.
In the trade we often call that “zealous representation” but it’s understandable that some might see such work as “creating headaches” because often that’s exactly what it does (and/or what it’s intended to do).
Seems like the NCAA could easily say, “if he participates with the team in any matches, all duals in which he participates would be forfeit.” Much more of the story will need to be written.
I posted an article about it on the Levi /mendez thread. It means nothing besides they can compete within the state of ohio . Nothing will come of it . At this point just be down with the circus and 2022 guys are done. I was for them but it's become a mess
One would think that the Governor has bigger issues to "wrestle"!
what sucks is - the NCAA isn't in any way justified in not giving the class of 2022 a fifth year.
I'm just surprised the courts are ignoring the clearly obvious "harm" being done to the athletes.
Saw a post from Wrestling Insider yesterday that indicated Ono is good to go and will go at 133. For what it's worth.
Hello new to the forum and love how knowledgeable you all are. Have any of you heard of Mitch not wrestling this year? Any confirmation would be amazing.
You must have heard something to suggest it, what info do you have?
I saw something on another forum that he might not be wrestling. No further information, just wondering if people here had heard anything of that nature. I kinda took it for BS but just wanted to double check.
It is well known that Mitch has a burgeoning career as a pop music vocalist
Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be a shock if it happened. Not thinking it will but MM has a much different mindset than most and seems to be trending away from wrestling when it comes to life’s priorities. Just my take.
You saw the same loser trolls that spew nonsense on the mat forum recklessly speculating again.
looks like he is still having fun in the room?
This is where we apply the sniff test:
Lots of videos of him in the room practicing.
OR
Some dolt on another board says he's quitting.
Obviously the other board's dolt is right.
He certified at 165
It likely comes from him taking the summer off and not competing at all. In his interview with Flo he said he was burnt and needed a break. I have no doubt he is back destroying everyone in his path this season
Yeah I heard the same thing about Cael and Mitchel are going on a sabbatical/mission trip this year together, and Josh Barr is sitting out to make room for whichever Marisola doesn't win the heavy weight spot. It was either posted on another forum or a bathroom wall somewhere, I just can't remember which.
With the Levi situation not known guys certed as low as possible so they would have options if Levi did get a year.
Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
