2024-2025 Lineups

[CraigOR]

Can't add much more that what Idaho said for OSU west

I think Cleveland @ 41 is done; he had a great tournament making R12.  Have to see how Noah/149 and Olguin/174 rebound & rehab from injury.  Yes am hopeful for some help via the portal at some key spots.  The other Q is where the team wrestles early march to qualify for Philly.

Missouri

125- Noah Surtin, Senior (unlike this year they will have kids that can spell him from time to time so he is not as beat up come nationals)
133- Kade Moore, Sophomore (with a possibility of True Freshman Gage Walker or Jake Crapps possibly pushing him for the spot)
141- Josh Edmond, Junior
149- Logan Gioffre, Sr., / Nathan Pulliam, Jr., /Zeke Seltzer, So. - I can see Seltzer being the starter here after gettin a summer of putting on some good weight.
157- J. Conway, So.,/Cameron Steed, So., /Logan Gioffre, Sr.,  - This would be Steed's but I heard he now weighs in the 180s. Gioffre wrestled 157 last year so it wouldn't surprise me. 
165 - Cameron Steed, So.or Keegan O'Toole Sr., - I think it is going to be Steed.
174- O'Toole Sr.,  (or possibly Whiting if Keegan goes back to 165 or even Steed)
184- Hawks, Jr. /Whiting, So.  - It will be a battle again. 
197- Rocky Elam, Sr. - With Sinclair redshirting. I don't think Rocky has the frame to carry the weight like his brother. Plus it took Zach 2+ years to become a good sized 285 weight wise. Don't think they can do it 6 months. 
285- Seth Nitzel, Jr.  or Portal. Heard that Boersma was hurt this year and maybe done (which sucks). Just keeping it warm until Stillwell gets here. 

I can confirm, Steed is in the 180's

Any chance we see Harman head down to 165lbs?

A lineup like this might be their best, assuming Redshirts redshirt...

165 - Harman

174 - O'Toole

184 - Whiting/Hawkes

197 - Whiting/Hawkes

285 - Elam

I don't think Harman can make 165. Plus I think if anything he is going to be a grad transfer.
I don't think Whiting is big enough for 197 as well as Hawks.
Nitzel has wins in the past two years over multiple national qualifiers like former Bloodrounder Colton McKernan.
He won't be an AA. But he should be solid. Even if they get someone out of the Portal. Nitzel could still fill in for a year before Stillwell join.

125 - Kilkeary
133 - Bouzakis
141 - Mendez
149 - Sasso - he's coming back, maybe late December, but he's coming
157 - Cannon - could see Blaze in a package deal with his younger brother
165 - Kharchla
174 - Welsh
184 - Rogotzke
197 - Geog/Potential transfer, but unlikely
285 - Feldman

This lineup will score points at nationals and is likely to have multiple finalists.

Sasso is not coming back.

Kharchla probably not either and he will never see 65.

[HungusMungus]

I'll take a shot at Wisconsin, this will be a bottom 5 Big ten team 

125 - Nicolar Rivera (was up due to EB) 

133 - Brock Bobzien Or Zan Fugitt 

141 - Felix Lettini 

149 - Julian George  (I think Zargo takes a RS) 

157 - Luke Mechler 

165 - Gavin Model 

174 - Luke Condon 

184 - Transfer? no clue who fills this 

197 - Dylan Russo or Talshahar  ( I think Amos takes his RS) 

285- Gannon Rosenfeld 

 

this lineup strikes fear into no one. 

Fire Bono!!!

Pulling a Wick and transferring out.

RUTGERS

Just a guess..I think we'll see a Transfer or 2 soon

125- Peterson/ NQ

133- Shawver/ AA

141- Olivieri/ NQ

149- Cetta...2 wins @ NCAA

157- Harer (True frosh)  or Desantis/transfer

165- White/ NQ or transfer

174- Turley/ AA

184- Soldano/ NQ

197- Poznaski/  AA

285- Slavikowski./ AA

It's a very solid dual lineup once again next year but the middle/upper weights from 165 - 184 are a wildcard. They would really benefit from 1-2 transfers at these weights, depending on what happens with Turley and/or Soldano.

165: RU needs a 165 transfer in the worst way. It's not anything new, as the weight has been an absolute dumpster fire since Richie Lewis in 2017/2018. White isn't good or big enough to compete in the B1G at that weight. Luke Gayer doesn't seem like the guy either, so if they don't land anyone in the portal it's going to be another massive hole in the lineup. Absolutely the #1 priority this off-season besides finding a heavyweight for the following season when Yara is done.

174: Hopefully Turley runs it back for his final year, but I know his body has taken an absolute beating over the past few years and he hasn't been able to compete at the level he would like to. He said he hasn't made a decision yet, but if he hangs it up there aren't many good options at this weight currently on the roster. Shane Cartagena-Walsh was solid in open tournaments this year as he won the NCO and Black Knight Invitational but not sure he's at the level to compete in the B1G yet.

184: Soldano needs a RS. He needs to get stronger. He is noticeably smaller than most of his opponents and regularly gets overpowered in 50:50 positions, which is a huge issue given his funky style... he would be great at 174 but I don't think he wants to make the cut. If he does RS, this would be another weight where they don't really have a backup and would desperately need a transfer.

Sinclair is registered for the last chance at 86kg, after wrestling 220 all Sr year. I get a RS is probably highly likely, but I’m wondering if 184/197 are his plans. 184 is kinda a log jam, but 197 Div1 isn’t the same as 220 Wisconsin High school wrestling. Honestly I think he could beat both Whiting and Hawks if Smith lets him go as a Freshman.

He wrestled at 215, it was arranged so he could be clear of the Marisola twins, not that he wouldn't wrestle them, from my understanding they are very good friends, so they separated by design. He wasn't close to 215, was 192.4 at the state tournament.

[Truzzcat]

125 - Spratley

133 - C. Hughes

141 - Carter young/Jamison

149 - Jordan Williams 

157 - Teague Travis

165 - Hamiti

174 - Thomspon

184 - Plott

197 - Carroll (rumor has it hes trying to get down)

285- Cody Merill

I think this team has 10 guys that could AA if it fits out this way obviously hughes,Merill,Carroll are relative unknown's but based on their HS pedigree I think they will be in that conversation/

[1032004]

6 pages and no mention of Iowa? Oh how the mighty have fallen

125 Ayala

133 Schriever

141 can Rathjen or Voinovich make 141?

149 Rathjen or Voinovich

157 Siebrecht

165 Caliendo

174 Arnold

184 Brands

197 Glazier

285 Kueter

 

Kennedy on the bench.   I feel like that’s more reason they should have used Arnold at 184 this year, then could have redshirted him next year.

Edited April 2 by 1032004

[lisa morales]

Certainly A.J. Ferrari starts ahead of Glazier.

I guess it’s also possible Kennedy cuts to 157

I don't know.  Think it's more likely Hamiti goes 74 cause Thompson needs a redshirt and Hamiti needs to eat.   That leaves a hole at 57.  Is some combination of Young (he's bigger now), Travis & Williams (also a growing boy) able to fill 49 to 65 or is there more portal shopping?  Really doubt Merrill at hwt till after rs.

Saying they might be Fishing  for a 165.

I can’t see Caliendo making 157, he seemed huge.  I know it was stated that Kennedy certified at 157 this season though
