2026-27 Roster/Lineup Discussion (Portal opens 4/1)

[Leonard23]

Nationals are done and the transfer portal opens on 4/1 for 30 days. Let's get an early look at the 2026-27 roster and lineup. Hat tip to @Dakpawknight who started this discussion in the NCAA thread (added his post below).

Leaving (10)
125 Adams, 133 Shawver, 141 Chletsos, 141 Olivieri, 149 Clark, 157 S. Nini, 157 White, 174 Freeman, 174 Pinto, 285 Catka

All 10 were recognized on senior night and are graduating or out of eligibility. Who else do we expect to leave on their own/transfer or be processed out? Does the 30 roster cap limit have any impact or are we years out with everyone on a roster currently excluded from it? Casale has 1 year of eligibility and wasn't recognized on senior night, but may be on track to graduate this May so is he coming back?

Incoming (7)
125 Knox, 125 Esposito, 133 Huerta, 141/149 B. Harer, 197 Reyes, 285 Palumbo, 285 Bajoras

Potential Lineup
125: Knox, Smith, Townson, Esposito
133: Gibson, Huerta
141: B. Harer, Parkins
149: B. Harer, Nini, Magro, Villani
157: C. Harer, Condomitti, Doster, DiStefano, Hermes
165: Barbosa, Ford
174: Chapman, Blanchette
184: SCW, Weaver
197: Cotton, Casale, Reyes
285: Casale, Packer, Toronzo, Palumbo, Bajoras

@Dakpawknight post from NCAA thread:

2026/27 way too early line up
125: Knox
133: T.Parkins/Gibson/Transfer
141:B. HarerNini/Parkins/Transfer
149:B.Harer Nini/Magro/Transfer
157:C.Harer
165:Barbosa/Ford
174:Ford/Chapman
184:SCW
197: Cotton
285: Has to be a transfer

IMHO: We need 2 transfers. 285is priority #1, 133 likely #2 and a luxury would be 141 or 149.

Some possible transfers:

133: Van Dee (labs, 1 year left), Mougalian (NJ, 1 year left),TK Davis ( GW, small school, small room, I like him, perhaps he could thrive in a better room.)
141: B. Davis (PSU kind of done with him), Zeth Romney (injured this season, 1 season left), Anthony Santaniello (NJ, we recruited him in HS, lost starting spot this year)
149: SVN (no duh), Connor Pierce (psu depth who will never crack lineup)
285: Cochran PSU (could possibly have 1 more year depending on NCAA), Amos wisco (final year, wisco is in rough shape), Mullen VT (NJ), Ziola Neb (We recruited him hard, ferrari may be back for 1 or 2 more years), Nate Schon Drexel (moved around a bunch, 1 year left, came to drexel this year)

[Bobbynieds]

Anyone Weight not 125 (Knox) and 197 (Cotton) is opened to transfer.

Is your goal more NCAA Points or a Dual Win?
If it is NCAA POints, stop worrying about holes in the lineup and worry about NCAA POints.
Give me 2 good R12 wrestlers at ANY weight (Except 125 and 197) as transfers and then fill in gaps with Roster.

BTW...my opinion only.

Who do you want from the portal?

 

[Crackersisback]

Who do you want from the portal?

Believe it or not,I would like to get Braden Davis, and Mullen. I think Braeden Davis would thrive in our environment.

 

[bigmatt718]

We gotta go portal for a Heavy. Plain and simple.

 

[Kiddagger311]

I agree w ya on this, especially Davis at his more natural 133 weight plus he got that extra spunk to him lol… can you imagine if both Davis and Cochran did transfer over from PSU?? Then that would actually make your multiple shitliner transfers from PSU technically come true… lol.. just woulda been further and more unexpected then anyone coulda imagined.. lol… plz plz happen.. Crackersstradumus!!

Idk, he's had a few off the mat issues that I wouldn't want to deal with.

His tempers will flare down after some belly taps.

 

[NJwrestling26]

Idk, he's had a few off the mat issues that I wouldn't want to deal with.

He got drunk and ran from the cops once who cares . Would he even need to run at Rutgers? lol his other off the mat incident is a scooter caught fire in his apartment and instead of letting it burn the building down he dragged it out with his bare hands and got 2nd degree burns.

van Dee , SVN, Amos ,Ziola aren’t transferring .

We can probably land AJ though bc he’s going to be shown the door for ziola especially with his interviews yesterday openly accusing Bastida of steroid use. see how many options 285 has and how desperate Goodale is.

i think the rest of this list is reasonable. Davis would be the #1 target for me then Mullen, Mougalian and Romney who is a good outside the target. Id rather bring in guy with 2 years left at 285 so we don’t have to throw a freshman right into the fire , 285 is really the only weight u still need to redshirt elite freshman at

 

[NJwrestling26]

100 percent , he starts clubbing guys and pushing people after the whistle the jersey crowd will love that. As long as you aren’t committing armed robbery I don’t see the police giving Rutgers athletes a hard time like stick up their a$$ central PA either. He ll never be a national champ but he’ll win a lot of matches and AA scrapping with Knox everyday. That would be a real 1-2 punch

We don't need drunk issues or distractions so they'd have to make sure he'd stay in line.

These aren't my suggestions. They're @Dakpawknight . I think Mougalian has 1 more semester or year at UPenn. No thanks on Ferrari.

I think he would be celebrated for the clubbing. I know I will cheer him on. With Knox, Harer, and Magro, we could be legit next year.Braeden would also be able to calm down and not feel the pressure to be a Penn State elite.For some odd reason, Goodale knows how to control and contain these types.And furthermore,I like a kid who doesnt take any shiт.It shows he cares.I think he was out of sorts with all the pressure he was under. Get him here, let Mind Guru Pollard work with him and guaranteed he will be in contention for a top 4 finish at NCAAs.We get Corchran or Mullen then we are set.I can see Knox, Davis, Mullen, Harer, and Cotton bringing home some hardware at the NCAAs.If SCW would stop wrestling so stiff and stop being tough guy after he gets throttled, he could get on the podium too.Im really high on Ford and Magro.I think with right off season training, they could be future killers in this program.Lastly we really need a gret strength coach and regimen. When I AAd the first time, I was doing heavy, heavy dumbell curls, power cleans, squats, push pressing movements.Using weight I normally could not handle with strict form.It actually mimic'd wrestling movements and made me super strong.

Crackersstradumus!!I

I prefer the shorter version of Crackersdamus.But thanks for the vote of confidence,.Kid.Im telling you, we really could get these kids if Goody squeezes Zinn by the muffin and gets some real funds.He just has to have her on board and more in his corner and we could be Aces in the near future.Wish we had Donnie back.That will never happen.Word on the street is he getting huge pay raise and Columbia will do everything in their power not to loose him.

 

[SCNJ]

Goodale said a year ago or two ago that Rutgers has absolutely 0 interest in Ferrari

 

[NJwrestling26]

Goodale said a year ago or two ago that Rutgers has absolutely 0 interest in Ferrari

And we have the same amount of AAs now as we did when he made that comment so we ll see how desperate he is

 

[Crackersisback]

I mean, how many schools is this kid going to transfer.I agree and disagree with you.I agree with respects that he is a hotdog, and nutt tearing split routine is really aggravating.Its like he is trying way too hard to be some VFW hall level wrestler. On the flip side , he is very entertaining and does have a new jersey of appeal quality to himself. It would be interesting if we had him and davis on the team. That would be some set of characters. I would prefer a davis and corchoran/mullen. Specifically mullen. He has had zero progression at virginia tech.

 

[Leonard23]

And we have the same amount of AAs now as we did when he made that comment so we ll see how desperate he is

Hopefully not that desperate. We don't need the circus and everything that goes with it, especially if it goes really badly like it did.

 

[njsportsphan]

Hopefully not that desperate. We don't need the circus and everything that goes with it, especially if it goes really badly like it did.

I agree. We have too young of a team to have an older clown around. His value diminishes by the day. I realize he'll still be an AA, but even with his "maturation" he still has clown show antics.

 

[Samson1975!!!]

Not that desperate I would hope. I could see Davis. He is young. Hot headed. Nothing really clearly points at character issues though. Immature amd toxic arent the same.

Ferari is a different animal. I admit he is entertaining in a performance art/stunt/surreal comedy act kinda way but from a distance.

This idea that Rutgers should bring people in to allign with antics after the whistle seems misguided. Not every jersey fan likes pushes after the whistle or yapping after the match has ended. If you cant prove yourself in 7 minutes what more is there to say? Physical and tough is great but dirty and chippy is meh. You got beat up during match and you likely would get beatup after so taking a cheap shot isn't tough. Its even worse if winning. Fine line I guess. Fans see these things differently. Rutgers needs talent so I understand taking some chances.

 

[LETSGORU91]

he is very entertaining and does have a new jersey of appeal quality to himself

No he doesn't. He has a "Jersey Shore" appeal and mentality. He belongs on Staten Island where Snookie and the rest of the goombas originated from.

SCW did this a few times throughout the season. At first, we thought it was the other guy but now the evidence is in, it's all him.

 

[Bobbynieds]

TY 4 all the info on potential transfer targets.
I am lucky to know the starters for most B10 teams (Unless ru wrestles them)
I would assume, RU looks for Backups from the top teams (PSU/IOWA/OK ST/rider....lol)
I hope they stress ATTACKING style.

I know SCW has been giving crap for being chippy after match, but i dont remember him being dirty during the match.
Ilike his attacking style.
We need someone to wear down his opponent.
Someone like Gravina!
Gravina, Perroti and Theobold were my fav wrestlers for RU. Heck, i even loved RIchie Lewis
Tough Gritty and attacking.
Too bad GRavina had shoulder injuries...i remember his shoulder popping out one match and him just popping it back
True Warrior

Has anyone heard the Davis wants to leave PSU? I know they have Ono (World Champ) around his weight.
Does anyone want to follow Knox and be his sparring partner.
Perfect opportunity for Davis or a top 133 to come in (asuming Mason is not the answer at 133or he cant make it)

How about Mullen? Catka out performed him at the NCAA.....COme here and get that AA

Any updates on potential coaches? Have the at least REACHED out to Poeta from Illinois? James Green from Nebraska (heck, touch base with Kevin Synder...tell him to bring James Green (Let him run RTC)...I imagine Goody has a lot of pride but there comes a time where u need to truly evaluate where you are. We need a world level coachfor KNox......RU doesn't need him going to columbia to train (or Penn's RTC)

 

[RUAldo]

Nationals are done and the transfer portal opens on 4/1 for 30 days. Let's get an early look at the 2026-27 roster and lineup. Hat tip to @Dakpawknight who started this discussion in the NCAA thread (added his post below).

Leaving (10)
125 Adams, 133 Shawver, 141 Chletsos, 141 Olivieri, 149 Clark, 157 S. Nini, 157 White, 174 Freeman, 174 Pinto, 285 Catka

All 10 were recognized on senior night and are graduating or out of eligibility. Who else do we expect to leave on their own/transfer or be processed out? Does the 30 roster cap limit have any impact or are we years out with everyone on a roster currently excluded from it? Casale has 1 year of eligibility and wasn't recognized on senior night, but may be on track to graduate this May so is he coming back?

Incoming (7)
125 Knox, 125 Esposito, 133 Huerta, 141/149 B. Harer, 197 Reyes, 285 Palumbo, 285 Bajoras

Potential Lineup
125: Knox, Smith, Townson, Esposito
133: Gibson, Huerta
141: B. Harer, Parkins
149: B. Harer, Nini, Magro, Villani
157: C. Harer, Condomitti, Doster, DiStefano, Hermes
165: Barbosa, Ford
174: Chapman, Blanchette
184: SCW, Weaver
197: Cotton, Casale, Reyes
285: Casale, Packer, Toronzo, Palumbo, Bajoras

Palumbo frame doesn’t look close to a 285. He looks like a 197.

Haven’t heard anything on Davis wanting to leave PSU.. thought he would never be able to make the PSU lineup again but… he does have a RS year left.. he could technically RS next year and wait for SVN to graduate to challenge for the 149 spot if he does stay at PSU.. and if Davis is such this hot head/troublemaker, ppl here seem to think he is, then you would think PSU won’t have any problems taking him off the team. He doesn’t seem to fit in the have fun/ always get better/ love god culture PSU has.

Why do we forget Nini at 49? He came off worlds where he had Stanich from Lehigh beat in the quarters and has been out this year from injury. Has 4 years left too.

 

[Crackersisback]

No he doesn't. He has a "Jersey Shore" appeal and mentality. He belongs on Staten Island where Snookie and the rest of the goombas originated from.

Ohhh....goombas, huh? The same guy who said I was racist is being racist. Ahhh its ok, I'll give you a pass. I dont get all offended, even though I got some WOP in me.

 

[SCNJ]

Why do we forget Nini at 49? He came off worlds where he had Stanich from Lehigh beat in the quarters and has been out this year from injury. Has 4 years left too.

I think Nini is someone who will do better in freestyle than folkstyle

 

[SCNJ]

I don’t think Ferrari is someone we should be bringing in. Not a good cultural fit if we’re essentially trying to build ourselves back up. I don’t think he’s national champ caliber anymore and I think his baggage outweighs what he brings, even if he’s an automatic AA.

And I was someone in the past who was very open to him coming here. He’s staring at his 5th college program, and he wrestled at two different high schools his senior year. Really bad look.

 

[Bobbynieds]

i hope nini can transfer his freestylesuccess into FOlk STyle (Didnt work for RIchie Lewis who was a U23 champ in freestyle)
If u can find a R12 or greater wrestler, bring him in and compete...no ones spot is safe
Heck, If Ayden can be knox, he should be 125.......

All spots open,

He’s always talked highly of RU program is what I noticed.. he hasn’t been a major problem for his last two program so I don’t understand the hate.. what changed your mind from someone you were open till to now, just curious ?? Is it bc u don’t think he is National champ caliber anymore??? I don’t think you realize how much the hwt field graduates next year… Kueter/Feldman are probably the highest returners and non AA Mirasola might start season ranked top 5.. so I disagree with u on Ferrarri not being champ caliber anymore. Anyways RU needs a spark and I don’t feel like Ferrarri has been a problem last two programs he was on.. he always talked highly of RU too.

 

[koleszar]

2026/27 way too early line up

174:Ford/Chapman

If Ford follows the Yonger Bastida workout plan, were going to have an absolute beast at 174.

 

[Samson1975!!!]

We need someone to wear down his opponent.
Someone like Gravina!
Gravina, Perroti and Theobold were my fav wrestlers for RU. Heck, i even loved RIchie Lewis

I loved all 3 of these guys. So tough! Easy to root for.

The fact that he’s bounced around so much is pretty concerning, on top of the past legal issues. His comments about Bastida the other day sounded like serious sour grapes, and I just imagine that if he whines like that publicly then how much complaining does he do behind closed doors?

Our situation has also changed. We don’t really have much of an identity right now and I’d rather not have someone who is that outspoken in a negative light be the face of change. While Knox has had his ongoing legal battle, I feel like it’s a one time thing that came from an emotional moment in a chaotic environment. In the wrestling room, he’s a dog who shows up, gets his work done, and goes home. I’d rather that be the identity of the program moving forward.

I see your view points but Nebraska took a chance on him and took 3rd.. At nationals.. while RU scored… 7 pts w 9 wrestlers…yea we got a real identity image to protect…. Most programs just mock us for being “a perennial top 10 team” let’s keep working to protect that image. I feel w the right guidance Ferrari can do big things. Has he even stated he even wanted to leave Nebraska?? Has he even caused any problems at Nebraska or the last program I’m unaware of?? Don’t worry little chances he comes here so we can protect our egos and precious image/identity. Real question here, but has anyone viewed less of Nebraska, a trophy team, since Ferrari has been there?

Supposedly Synder (of NE) was talking with Goodie, but chose to stay at NE, hence the connection with Labs.

What about Coleman Scott? He was supposed to take over for John Smith, but then they made the right choice with Taylor.

I see your view points but Nebraska took a chance on him and took 3rd.. At nationals.. while RU scored… 7 pts w 9 wrestlers…yea we got a real identity image to protect…. Most programs just mock us for being “a perennial top 10 team” let’s keep working to protect that image. I feel w the right guidance Ferrari can do big things. Has he even stated he even wanted to leave Nebraska?? Has he even caused any problems at Nebraska or the last program I’m unaware of?? Don’t worry little chances he comes here so we can protect our egos and precious image/identity. Real question here, but has anyone viewed less of Nebraska, a trophy team, since Ferrari has been there?

No, but Ferrari isn’t the primary face of Nebraska wrestling like he would be here.

You sound like someone who’s never coached before. Dealing with people like Ferrari is not easy.

And do u think less of CSUB he was the primary face there?? Have coaches at CSUB or Nebraska expressed it was difficult dealing w Ferrari? U sound so sure.
