2026 Returning Points

[Wrestleknownothing]

There is only 1 returning point left in the portal (take a bow Evan Bates - Northwestern), so I thought I would put together the returning points graphic.

These are only points returning from the 2025 tournament. Each bar is broken down by where the points were scored in 2025.

 

With 11 returning scorers for Ohio State, obviously something will have to give.

How do you get 11 returning scorers from last year?  Is this some kind of MP magic?  Thought Magic Man went to the real OSU.

Offhand- points from a transfer?

ahh ... course could've taken the highest points at each weight thus only 10 count.  But I wouldn't put it past MP to employ trickery.

What about Illinois?  Byrd was 22 by himself.  Moore, Pucino, Webster, Scoles, Ruth, Luffman.

I probably have Byrd marked as not returning. Is he returning?

I will fix that when I get to my computer.

I know you just used last year's points, but Minnesota also has low AA points from Volk '24 and Cannon '22 coming in.

OK, Illinois is fixed.

And I went with the wrestlestat lineup for Ohio State.

And even though I hate doing it, I added in some guys returning from redshirt and used their 2024 points: Welsh PSU, Jack NCST, Arrington NCST.

And to make it more legible I cut it off at OKST. Sorry, Minnesota, Penn, Purdue, Wyoming, Stanford, Michigan, and Iowa State.
