Idaho

There are more teams coming to the Pac12. Contrary to what one poster has called for on here, Cal State Bakersfield still has a team and will still be competing.

Can't read the premium, but I am pretty sure Creason flipped from Army to Oregon State based on his IG video.

I'm disappointed you don't have Team Jesus led by Jesus Castro of Dubuque.

Is walking on, not getting a "scholarship" but getting enough NIL to cover everything anyway still a thing, or did they close that loophole? What's the new loophole?

He's on the list, but does not have a weight next to his name. It's just not in this screenshot. Same as Trost, Tanefeus and of course Consuelos...we can't forget where he fits into the picture.

On that note, ASU currently has 10 heavyweights.

One of them could have been at 165.1...the other at 174..... I suspect they are at 165 and 174. Interesting to see Walters at 197 already.

Agree... there is a lot of talent that will be riding the bench the next few years that could be competing and making college wrestling as a whole getter. We are missing out on some of these guys bettering a program, potentially getting on the podium and making brackets much more fun.

It won't affect a two horse race. Ok State can only start 10 guys...as noted they have potentially 13 guys in 5 weights... not keeping everyone happy and having some leave to become AA at other schools is a good thing. Ask BearClaw and UVU how that worked out and it didn't hurt PSU one bit, because they can only have 10 guys. So I'm all for not keeping the PSU and Ok States of the world happy.

This happens with almost every guy bumped up or planning to go down in order to be able to descend back down to their weight per the guidelines. If you are at 165 instead of 161 you will delay going back down by two weeks.

Am I the only one who doesn't want Ok State to keep everyone happy and would like to see implosion with kids being spread out to other programs?

You should be more concerned about what he is having to explain to Stiles....

Where there is a will there is a Kahwi Leonard....

I hope so...he is still a little behind Coon and Schultz...but he is making gains. It seems we always have a few guys who win world medals and even world titles and younger ages, but we can never get them on the podium later.

I would be surprised if they went that direction this year. Lamer is a 174lber...he was bumped up last year at Poly and pretty small for 184. Rademacher has the frame to put on more weight, and with his olympic aspirations I could see him over the next 1-2 years bulking up to 230-35 (ala Snyder) in order to be big at 97kg. I think they will run with Hastriter/McDonnell at heavy this year, but it will be interesting to see what Rademacher does the next few years. On a separate note, Olguin comes back this year as well.
