Next Year’s Lineup '26
- Thread starter SlickWillie18
- Start date
First time I’ve ever heard him called that. I thought his nickname was Spark plug?
I call him Tboy it ain’t Lee!
But, this is a good practice for the forum! Let’s give these guys good nicknames.
I’ll start! Troy Spratley is Tboy!
Now, let’s start a new thread, giving these guys the name they’ll carry.
Brainstormed a couple
Robidawg
Las Vega
I also came up with P. Swiddy but we probably can’t use that one lol.
tboy? No way….
Yup! As the President of his Fan Club, it’s ahoy a voting board of one and it’s held by the President.
I vote T-Boy because it has a better ring than soul snatcher.
25 is such a tough weight! But yes, I expect him to win it!I think I picked him as the champ this year before you
Umm… anybody gonna tell him?
Maybe he knows and is very open-minded
I doubt he cares what I think, say or do haha
Oh crap, I just googled that! The president calls for more options and Tboy is no longer being considered.
Which off season? The next summer? John Smith is not “a guy”, he still has a ton of friends and connections. The Big XII is the second best wrestling conference and only getting better.
I think we should start a new thread with nickname suggestions and then have a poll that expires like 12/31.
I'll start it but I don't how to do polls and such.
It’s early, this team appears to need competition at 133 and 149. Hopefully Jamison to 149 is under consideration. Vega is too good to take off the mat, and don’t believe he can beat Vega. Jamison and Swiderski can push each other. 133, will be interesting to see how others look if Figs can’t find a way to clean it up.
a healthy Jamison beats both Vega and Swiderski imo. Lots of work to do for the squad, let's hope their early-season form is just part of the process
Hope someone can find on the board where I said Jamison was too big for 41 last year and would crash because of the cut. I said he will be the 49 starter this year. When he comes back he WILL be your starter and he will be fire !!
I remember…because I argued.Hope someone can find on the board where I said Jamison was too big for 41 last year and would crash because of the cut. I said he will be the 49 starter this year. When he comes back he WILL be your starter and he will be fire !!
I still think he can make 41, but 49 is better for him and we need some help at 49.
I agree. Let Vega ride at 141 and have Jamison there to light a fire under Swid’s rear. He’ll either step up or flame out.
Swiderski is a good wrestler but a head case. Jamison will do much better at 49 than 41. He was cutting too much at 41. He will be the surprise hero of the Okie State team once healthy.
If you’ve got 2 spots for 3 guys between Vega, Swiderski, and Jamison, the only no brainer right now is Vega.
I disagree 100% disagree. Jamison is AA caliber and Swiderski is Wrestling like a basketball player.
We agree Jamison has the ability. To date he hasn’t done it, making AA speculation.
Vega is producing.
Tough draw (beat by the 3 and 4) and a major knee injury away from AA.
Vega has Wrestled two matches and done well…but I don’t think he can beat Tagen, but Swiderski is clearly gas tank light right now.
We’ve been over this before. Everyone who AA’s has had a rough draw at one point and/or dealt with injuries.
It seems absolutely far fetched that they would take someone out of the lineup who’s winning at the pace and level Vega is at the moment.

Vega and Jamison — it’s a no brainer. Jamison will AA at 49. He’s a 49lber and the weight is terrible.
I am 100% positive on this
I am 100% positive on this
He only scored 5 points against a senior who's qualified for the tournament once (1-2). I urged caution after Vega's first win and I'll be the bad guy and do it again.
I'm a huge Vega fan and he's looked great, but keep in mind his competition. His potential is super high, but he's still a true freshman and hasn't been tested yet.
Lot of time to let this work out. Vega will need to show consistency and that he can beat highly ranked opponents.
Jamison needs to get healthy and either show he can hold 141 well or that his biggest advantage currently (his strength) translates to 149.
Swiderski needs to get healthy and show he can bounce back from a rough run.
There is lots of talent in the above 3 but all have legitimate questions marks and things will need to play out.

Teague should be down at 149 if we aren’t moving Jamison up.
It's early. We have good to great options at 41 and 49.
What about 133?
