Penn State 2025-2026 lineup (updated)

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

125: Lilledahl

133: Ono (Davis RS)

141: Blaze

149: SVN

157: Duke (Kasak RS)

165: MM

174: Haines

184: Welsh

197: Barr

Hwt: Mirasola the heavier

 

I expect this team to have 9 AAs, maybe 10 if Mirasola can hang in the Big 10 as a 230 pound heavy.

I have LL, Blaze, SVN, Duke, MM Haines and Barr as finalists with 3 champs total.

Ono and Welsh place top 4.  Mirasola I have AA.

Penn State wins by 40 points.

Transitive property is not a good metric especially in different styles but I think Kasak wrestled Taylor much better than Duke did. I would also say duke is a bit better at freestyle than he is at folk. Kasak did wrestle Taylor before he went on a heater so he could just have more confidence and be a better wrestler now. All that to say I am not penciling in PJ to start like I was a month ago.

I am not saying Duke is better than Kasak.  Kasak honestly should have won NCAAs in March...not sure why he looked so lethargic against Blaze.  But two years in a row finishing 3rd means he needs to take a year off and really refine his game and finish out his career with 2 titles and a Hodge.

Duke is ready now, plug and play, shirt Kasak makes the most sense.

I am still waiting for Cinny Jimmybon to tell us all who will be the possible favorites over  LL, Ono, Blaze, SVN, Duke/Kasak, MM, Hains, Barr in the NCAA ...??

Brand new account.  Same exact thread as the pastry.  Prompting each other with questions.  Cute.

I think Mirasola has a great chance to AA this year. This will be the weakest Heavyweight has been in a very long time. Most of the "top" heavyweights this coming season are undersized, historically. Being in that Nittany Lion room Mirasola could be a title contender.

The way I see it is that they have 9 starters that are currently that are NCAA finalist caliber. Insane.
