'25-'26 PSU Lineup Predictions thread

[El_Jefe]

Since when does the athlete make that decision? Don’t they all think they should always start? If they don’t think that way, you probably wouldn’t want them on the team.

Where is the indication he won't?

We have that about Duke from Willie and implied from Duke himself, but nothing about or from Kasak.

Oh. My mistake. I didn’t realize Willie was the gospel. Kasak went up 2 weight classes since arriving on campus and looked like a full sized 157 last year. He’s also still just 20 yrs old.

In other words, we believe our own evidence-free hypotheses over the wrestlers themselves and the guys who talk to them for a living. I guess this means Barr is going back down to 184 too.

Isn’t the entire thread all speculation? So, some speculation is great, differing opinions and speculation is frowned upon. Got it.

I am pretty sure, well maybe a little bit kinda maybe sure, that Kasak sad he expected to stay at 157 for his career.

Just? Not so fast.

It all depends on where Goodale needs him.

And if he does, that would work out perfectly for the lineup.

sorry if already posted ... on vaca, and can't back through all of the thread:

Pick 1 out of Duke and Mesenbrink in 2027. Because Duke isn't making 157 again after this year.

Still want to shirt Duke this year?

Speaking of craziness… gonna be wild watching those 2 fight it out for 74kg in 28

NIL opportunities have changed some kids’ perspective. Extra year of $$ is ok.

its not all about money for all kids!!

LOL well the best start the rest can shirt or sit or transfer! lots of options

 

[tullfan68]

I think Cael wants to start his best guys and best team, this team is a lot deeper than when Zain shirted so he has more options but I say let's break the record again this yr with his best team!

 

[tullfan68]

I think more than a few PSU wrestlers picked what weight they wanted to go but only the really good guys esp as senior's since Cael had so many good kids it really didn't matter!
