I do believe it would be surprising to see both Evan Frost and Echemendia making big cuts back down. 

I agree on Ech. But E Frost is gonna need to cut down to 133 again to optimize their lineup.

125: Castillo

133: E Frost

141: J Frost

149: Ech

157: Paniro

165: Euton/Riggins

174: Gaitan

184: Dean 

197: Elam

285: Yonger

Interestingly enough, gents... Walker (174) and Bullock (184) of Michigam both could utilize one more season, it appears.  Bullock could have two seasons, if granted a medical for 2023.

Walker could be done, but don't be surprised to see either utilize an additional year (or two) - possibly transferring out as well.

That's a really good dual team (and team in general). Surprised they couldn't qualify for "national duals"

How do you see VTech's lineup shaking out with Miller now officially announcing?

285: Jimmy Mullen

 

Still looking for a 184 but there isn't much time so that'd take a shocking flip IMO

Where does Church go?

He sit the bench a season then go 157/165 for 2026/27?

Yes, he'll be in the fray with Gaj, Torres, etc. fighting for a spot in 26/27.

They need to move on, Walker has zero chance to make the line up and Bullock wasn’t a NQ this year and regressed from the previous year. We’re Michigan, we need to have higher standards.

6 figures?

It's been suggested Carter walked out on senior night.  

I was there and he did. For what it’s worth, so did Doucet.

Well that is interesting cause he sure looks like the starter given the lack or portal heavies this year.

Seeing him last year he just looks too small for heavy but who knows.  I'm sure JC would even say he's too short for 97 yet gave the NC a heck of a match.

I am just curious how the logjam gets fixed at OSU at this point.

Merrill as the odd-man out this year, would insinuate he is odd-man out when Ross arrives, as well, right?

If Merrill doesn't beat Thompson, then Merrill is likely shopping (so we should be watching out for where his brother lands).

They appear to have a bit of logjam at the mid lower weights as well.  Idk maybe odd men out are first team dodgeball?

Forty-one rostered with three in the portal...

Qualification process was determined based on 2025 NCAAs results, which they didn't perform well.

Mizzou after the Mayfield Transfer:
125- Walker/Mauger (Walker redshirts possibly)
133- Moore/Mendoza
141- Edmonds/Mendoza
149- Seltzer/Edmonds/Rath?
157-Conway/Rath?
165-Steed/Mayfield
174-Mayfield/Steed
184-Sinclair/Hawks
197-Hawks/Sinclair
285- Nitzel/Stoner/Jacobi Jackson

[timmythesupermonkey]

For NC State I think it will be as follows unless we get some more transfers.

125 Vince Robinson

133 Zach Redding

141 Ryan Jack

149 Koy Buesgens

157 Jackson Arrington

165 Is hard to call. Possibly Latrell Schafer bumps up from 157

174 Matty Singleton

184 Dylan Fishback

197 Either Andrew Macchiavello or maybe a transfer if we can pick one up

285 Isaac "the punisher" Trumble

Pretty confident Mayfield will be at 165.  Probably more likely to be 157 than 174.  He is not a big 165….

When did Jacobi get on campus? Didn’t know he even left NIU. Also according to Mizzou’s ‘25 roster and it may be incorrect, Nitzel is no longer listed along with several others. Crapps is listed but he’s in the portal.

Jacobi has been on campus for a while - I first saw him at the Cornell dual. 

Nitzel gave his senior speech at the banquet and I'm not sure how many (if any) open mats he's been to.

Was Jacobi not eligible last year? Might have been a better option than Stoner/Nitzel. He used a RS at NIU, so maybe he just didn’t wrestle at all to avoid using a year. Does that seem likely?

Locket has been adamant about not using a Redshirt since before DT was there.
