MIZ team trophy lineup for 2025-26

[Seanyd]

I think to have a chance to get a team trophy Mizzou will need a couple true freshman to AA. I understand the possibilities of redshirts, weight cut issues, retirement but here’s to wishful thinking:

125-Walker

133-Mendoza

141-Edmonds

149-Gioffre

157-Rath

165-Steed

174-Hawks

184-Sinclair

197-Elam

Hvy-Stillwell

A solid looking lineup to finish 6-7th at NCAAs, barring injury.

I think Sinclair - Hawkes - Elam at 184-285 does better.

I think absolute best case scenario this lineup has 6 AA's and probably nobody top 2 maybe Elam? That may be enough to get on the podium I am not entirely sure. Worst case scenario that lineup could only have Elam AA and to me that's more likely than best case. I do think that Rath,Walker,Mendoza,Sinclair all can and if I were betting will be AA's I'm just not sure how likely it is for 2026. I also think Mendoza Red shirts and then goes 141 he seems to really be growing now.

I see 1 guaranteed AA. That leaves a lot of things having to go right, or near perfect, to bring home a trophy. I also find it hard to believe Hawks makes 174.

That lineup is dangerous. However Hawks and Sinclair would probably flip flop weights. I could also see Elam at HWY with Hawks, Sinclair at 184 and 97. Wouldn’t be surprised if Walker took a RS and Mauger slids in at 125. With Antonio Mills coming the lighter weights have flexibility for RS or ORS.

I'm curious to see what they do with redshirts next year. I get that they'll want to put a more competitive team on the mat, but after a year of development.. I think long term it makes sense to RS everyone next year. In 2026-2027 you'll have Mauger/Walker with 3 years, Mendoza 4, Crapps 3, Rath 4, Bambinelli 4, Steed 2, Sinclair 3, Stillwell 4.

If Missouri can't even beat Little Rock this season there is NO way they earn a Top 4 finish next season
