Lou Rosselli most likely

I am not familiar with tOSU's situation but why hasn't Kharchla transferred? Was he injured this past year? I assumed Welsh beat him for the starting spot but I was always under the impression that Kharchla could start at almost any program.

University of Oklahoma 2024-2025 lineup 125: Beric Jordan/Conrad Hendriksen (I think it is possible for Jordan to RS and Hendriksen to start again but I believe Jordan is still an upgrade) 133: Antonio Lorenzo (Ideally, Lorenzo could fit into the lineup at this weight. Not sure why he didn't wrestle last year despite being on the roster but he has quality wins against top guys throughout his career) 141: Mosha Schwartz (I'm genuinely not sure if he still has eligibility but I would have guessed he received a medical RS this past year. If not, then OU is in trouble at this weight) 149: Willie McDougald 157: John Wiley/Alex Braun (Wiley is slated as the starter per Wrestlestat, however, I believe Braun could start if OU does not decide to RS him) 165: Cael Carlson 174: Tate Picklo (I don't think Nijenhuis wins the starting job. Hopefully, Picklo can get back to his winning ways next season 184: Deanthony Parker (Not a very deep weight for the Sooners and Parker is likely the best option) 197: Stephen Buchanan 285: Josh Heindselman

It would probably be a smart move to just rock with Hendrickson since he's proven to be serviceable. I do think Beric is better though.

Beric Jordan for Oklahoma 125lbs

could Askey end up in Nebraska? I know there have been talks of Taylor bumping down to 157 with Robb leaving but it could be a good fit. He would also be reunited with his former teammate, Caleb Smith.

I think everyone is high on Buchanan because of his strong finish at the NCAA tournament. He majored Beard, beat Little, Sloan, and Cardenas. He looked much better at NCAAs than he did big 12s.

I imagine Thompson eventually grows into 184. He came into this season weighing just as much as Plott. I wonder how close Thompson and Robb are in the room. I know Thompson beat Robb in high school when Robb was much bigger.

Rumor has it that OSU wants Carroll to wrestle 197 and Merrill to wrestle heavyweight. I agree though, a 197 cut for Carroll looks and sounds like it would be a lot.

I have Stephen Buchanan winning at 197 next year

Really hope Hughes can make it down to 133 but he wrestled 141 all last season and he didn't look like a small 141. I imagine Jamison and Williams still beat Young for the starting spot at 141/149. Really excited to see if Carroll can make 197, he is wrestling 97kg over the summer.

125: Elijah Griffin over Ayala in round 1

Didn't Jimmy lose his bet with the first Caliendo/Messenbrink match?
