Projected Line Ups 25/26

[BloodRound]

Rutgers

125 - Peterson (???)

133 - Shawver

141 - Olivieri

149 - Clark

157 - Harer

165 - Barbosa

174 - Soldano or hit the portal

184 - Cartagena-Walsh

197 - Casale

285 - Hit the portal

Rutgers's descent into the bottom of the B1Gs will continue next year.  Peterson is looking to be at risk of hitting the portal, and I am not sure who the hell we will be able to grab for '74 or HWT.  Soldano cutting down is more of wishful thinking than anything, as I do not see him as the better option at '84 over SCW.  Hope is that Shawver and Olivieri have some sort of fire lit under their ass after a rather disappointing end to NCAA's.  Excited to see what Barbosa can bring to 165.

Bouzakis I think just hasn't meshed the best in Columbus even though he loves being there. I think there is a chance he stays despite all rumors. It's a mental thing with Paddy though and honestly with Feldman this season too to a lesser extent. Paddy's confidence has been really shot his entire college career and the injuries don't help. I think Paddy finding a new home would be great for both parties but I know Paddy is from Northeast Ohio and wants to be a Buckeye. I think Paddy needs to let it fly more and I think Nic needs to wrestle smarter.

Bouzakis seems to be a big family guy.  Any chance he joins his brother at Pitt?

watching paddy in HS i was thinking the dude was gonna be an absolute hammer in college.  especially with him being the pound-for-pound #1 wrestler. i've had zero interactions with him EVER, but been it's been tough to watch him through his college career not succeed. i feel bad for him and want to see him AA his senior year.

Marinelli WAS a hammer! He never stood at the top of the stairs but come on the bar can't be that high.

@ugarles & Not creative

Agreed. 4xAA and 4x B1G champion I believe. Real bad example on my part.

Just because Paddy hasn't performed as well as Lunchbox Mits doesn't mean Lunchbox Mits lived up to the expectations of being a hammer.  He was exposed any time he wrestled someone elite when it mattered most.

Lehigh:
125: Seymour
133: Crookham
141: Stanich
149: Van Hoecke (this kids fun not sure if he can get down)
157: Rozynski
165: Brignola
174: Rogers
184: Rogers
197: - (if they could get a good transfer that would be awesome)
285: Nate Taylor
 

Stanford:

125: Provo
133: Knox
141: Valencia
149: Paro/Cholakyan
157: Cardenas
165: Garvin
174: Norman
184: Posada
197: -
285: -

These are my two picks for most improved teams next year I think both will push for a top 5 finish.

184 would be a pull for Posada, he was a 215 this year. Provo couldn't make 125 this year, I would be shocked if he could next year. But they should be good, I could also see Norman moving up with his frame.

I would expect Griffin to be the 149 for Lehigh based on him having past NCAA experience and being such a pinner. I think that both Rogers moving up a weight class could be the best option for them but who knows

100% speculation. But it makes sense if you think about it. I don't see Davis beating Ono, OSU needs a 133, and there's got to be a connection between Gilman/Kennedy & Davis.

Really...The Basement?...I guess you don't follow the B1G much!!...Rutgers had their best year ever in Conference duals and the recruiting is on fire...3 PA State Champs are on their way and the #4 class in USA last season...Rutgers had a bad 2025 NCAA Tournament but anybody that thinks this Program is going to the basement in the Best Conference in the USA is Clueless!!!
