Next Years Lineup
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
He was one of the higher valued targets that was rumored to be going into the portal.
We wouldn’t of taken him and he wouldn’t of come here if both parties felt confident we was going to be a starter here.
The plan is for Jamison to hold 141. They believe he can when healthy. Thats where his size, strength and length give him an advantage.
From what I understand he had his sites set on OSU. Like weve all been saying, who wouldnt want to wrestle for DT? I also think he wasnt given a lot to come.
So tired of the idea of “poaching”. That’s not how this works anymore. That’s not how any of this works. Get used to it.
Flo's predictions (by JD) for next year's NCAA placements, in order of weight:
3rd - Spratley
8th - Figueroa
R12 - Vega
5th - Swiderski
R12 - Jamison
3rd - Lockett
7th - Facundo
5th - Ryder
4th - Merrill
R16 - Doucet
3rd place team finish with 77 points not including bonus.

Why do I think Sakamoto makes the lineup next year? Figs will be a different wrestler than 2024 form.
I didn’t say I had the answer of why I think this way. Zero chance he beats out Vega at 141?
He was small for 133 so yes no way lol
He seems like a 125/133 to me
Also, feel likes Flo’s prediction is highly speculative
Why the drop off for Spratley?
Figueroa 8th? I think he has as good a chance as anyone to win it at 133. He is a STUD, just pulling too much weight last year.
So they don't think Hughes or Jamison either one can make 141? R16 is too low for Doucet with everyone leaving that weight.
No finalists at all?
Interesting we got only one Big 12 champ while got two NCAA champ. Next year, I would like to have 3 big 12 champ and 2 NCAA champ. Will be step up.
Also I 100% think that Tagen AAs next year. Especially if goes up in weight.
You are not doing your multiplication correct ... 3 B12 champs and 6 NC.
I wasn't multiplying. I know its going to be tough winning even 2 NCAA individual championship with 0 favorites.You are not doing your multiplication correct ... 3 B12 champs and 6 NC.
I think 125 will be like last year. One of 12 guys could be the champ and there will be many expected All Americans that don't wrestle on Saturday. The difference in talent is small. Spratley was the fourth seed in the Big 12 last year and only two Big 12 guys AA'd in 2025. That is a tough weight to count on someone returning to the finals again.
Spratley wrestling with figs and fix everyday..he will jump levels I think.
Plus Roper and whoever our next assistant coach is.
There’s not much level to jump. Tboy is a minute bit away from being the guy that most likely won’t be beat.
Hes already one of the guys that can win it at anytime.
eh. he'd have to get a LOT more offensive to be that kind of guy.
Tend to agree. He had some matches this year where he took 1-2 shots. Glad to see game planning for sure! But would love to see a little more offense in the game planning as well.
Haha, he doubled his bonus rate.
This is exactly what I’m talking about with Troy. If he figures out a trick that gets him by head/hands D, he’s a major problem instead of just a big problem for anybody.
JD's predictions (Flo) are fun to look at but he's way off on putting Jamison at 157. Thats absolutely not happening. This year isnt to hard to figure out imo.
Thats my pick. If LRob is beating him by a large margin then theyll go with Landon. He could really benefit from a RS though imo. 41-49 is some combination of Jamison/Swiderski.
I hope we let Teague start for his final year while also letting Robideau wrestle in some duals.
I will say, Tagen looks big right now, as far as muscle. I am with you on it though, too many 57 guys that have a lot of length on him.
I heard the whole Dual championship is considered one event for red shirt. So, hopefully we see Landon in that event. To see how he is against some good competition. We might see some of the best in Tulsa. Shapiro, Andrell, Hipalito, Maybe Caliendo.
That's correct for any/every tournament.
My money is on Robideau getting the start and just being the guy. He's ready.
Willie on Baschamania said hearing Dee considering 157. Said he is not reporting Dee will be at 157 but said it is being considered. If that ends up being the case he thinks could be facundo 165, Ryder 174, and Brayden 184
I believe that scenario. Dee isn’t a big cut away from 57. Facundo is another story! Him getting to 57 was too much and 65 isn’t easy.
Don’t know much on Ryders weight situation and Brayden needs to catch the nutrition directives a little better.
But, that appears to be our optimal lineup.
Do people have high hopes for Thompson in the near term? From what I've seen, I wouldn't expect him to place high. I'd rather roll with Teague at 157 than shift our lineup down to accommodate Thompson
