Yes, message board or not, The Rock’s fixation on next year’s maximum points seems, dare I say, pointless.
EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions
- Thread starter backdrft76-1
- Start date
LOL yep, it was training. With the stories on Nicky six pack, I'm certain he was down there doing something.He was on crutches at the time. Maybe he was doing pull ups
If Sealy isn't in the portal on Wednesday, then he'll certainly get a shot to challenge Kasak for 157. I don't really like his odds, but everyone gets their shot, and Sealy is certainly no pushover, so we'll see.
I feel like he's going to want to shoot his shot somewhere and not wait for possibly one year as a starter after Kasak graduates (and have to hold 157 that whole time, too, if the plan is for Duke to slot in at 165 after MM leaves), so portalling would not surprise me at all. I wouldn't blame him, either. He's too good to be a career room guy, so unless he's happy with the freestyle training he's getting and thinks he can make a bigger mark in international freestyle than NCAA folkstyle, there's no real reason to stay.
we will never know just pointing out guys do things for the team!Could have won the position at 184? Ruth was pretty good.
A bunch of old guys on a message board know far better than the greatest wrestler and coach in the history of the sport. Write that down.
He is a much better freestyler so if he has Olympic aspirations staying put makes sense. He seems to really enjoy it at PSU. Sometimes there is more than starting all 4 years but I wouldn’t blame him if he left. He’s definitely AA caliber right now
According to Jason Nolf, Suriano ia a dog on a bone and right up until Cael told him he wasn't going to wrestle he was trying to find a way to push off and defend effectively.He was on crutches at the time. Maybe he was doing pull ups
This ^^^
He does seem happy and I imagine his freestyle aspirations will not be better served elsewhere.
lol I don’t even know what you are saying. I’ve never suggested a method. Weird crowd
I’m not making an argument dummy, I’m just explaining to certain people why some in media are saying Mitch could move up to 174. Quite simply it produces the highest scoring lineup which you acknowledge yourself.
Why does this send people into a hissy fit? It’s a simple statement based on a simple concept. And I’ve never suggested we should do this nor think at this time we will.
Relax
I’m backtracking where?
Hit the like button on my post if you are not low IQ like these guys. LOL
Connor Mirasola? He’s the guy without a clear path to the lineup who has a world medal in freestyle.
I'm bringing up an old message board joke and you're bringing up something to make Cael seem like a liar. Why must you continuously pull these #$%^ moves?
Cael will have his own line of peppermint paddy pizza before we get this right.
It is fun but I suspect Cael had most of the 26-27 lineup in his head 3 years ago.
Frankly I agree. Why are some people acting like a suggestion that a wrestler may change his weight class, is akin to suggesting that he smoke crack? Having MM get the same amount of points at 174 as he did at 165 is definitely an assumption, not a guarantee. He didn't major Hepner at 165 and there's a high likelihood he'll encounter stronger wrestlers than that at 174. IMO a 165 MM scores more bonus than a 174 MM. I thought the word was Duke had a tough cut? I could see that given some gas tank issues, albeit minor. Seems Duke would benefit from going up like Haines did. They'll sort this out for sure, but IF Henckel is as good as I suspect a think a RS for Duke would be ideal. Of course the wrestlers have to buy in. First world issues for sure.
Yes I think Duke will red shirt. I believe the Hepner match was just oddity. You are right it’s an assumption though. I believe he wins and might have a few less bonus matches. But that’s around 2-3 points.
But if Duke didn’t RS I think he’s getting 20-25 points at 165. Henckel can get a very high podium and could actually make the Final if he gets the right type of path. But ultimately on average I think he scores around 10 points less than Duke.
When a fellow officer I worked with used to see some large guy bent over showing a little too much gluteus maximus he'd say, "That guy needs to be arrested for possession of crack." : )
