More so just saying Robideau is a dang tough and talented wrestler as well. Hope both reach their potential.
Next Years Lineup
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
Lockett at 157 would be ugly. Marsteller ugly.
Dee went 172 pounds for Pittsburg classic just last week. I dont think he can make 157 week in week out next year without losing something.
Right. It's one thing making a one time weigh in, but all season long plus 3 weigh ins at nationals is a different animal.
I won't pretend to know, but I made the initial suggestion solely because he went 74kg in freestyle last year. Not sure where he is planning for this year, but if it's 74kg, I wouldn't rule out 157 completely. Still probably unlikely and, clearly 165/174 is the plan.
I think, and hope, the days of super weight cutting is behind us. I remember when I wrestled during the stone ages, I wore the plastics, in a sauna, spitting, not eating for days. I’m pretty lucky that I don’t have permanent damage (that I know of) (maybe some Dain Bramage).
I think the best OSU line up is:
Spratley
Figueroa
Cael Hughes
Swiderski
Jamison — bad man when he doesn’t have to cut
Lockett
Facundo
Ryder/Thompson
Merrill
Doucet
Spratley
Figueroa
Cael Hughes
Swiderski
Jamison — bad man when he doesn’t have to cut
Lockett
Facundo
Ryder/Thompson
Merrill
Doucet
I want something like that too. But not sure if Jamieson is good 157.
I’d rather have Jamison at 49 too and think he will surprise a lot of folks up a weight. I also want to see Swiderski and Echemendia wrestle which is the reason he left.
But, I’d take Jamison over TT all day long
I agree the best weight for Casey is 149 and Hughes is 141. But wonder if Jamieson can beat Casey for 149 or TT for 157. Will be exciting off season for sure. Tagen offense is so limited against good competition.
At 141, it must have been Jamison over Travis because Tagen and Jordan Williams forced Teague all the way up to 157. I think most of us were doubters of that working. Although not an AA at 157, Teague was a great and pleasant surprise jumping those 2 weight classes. Maybe the same would be true for Jamison or Swiderski except they be even more competitive. Also have to consider that Travis appeared to have injured his good knee in his last match. How healthy will he be? No doubting his toughness.
Might not have to cut anyone this year
Good for the room. Was about to get akward.

Can we start yelling for a stall calls as soon as the whistle starts on Iowa? Or will that make it feel too much like a home match for them?
Glad to see Victor might be getting a final chance to start.
While this is fun to discuss, I don't think we have any clue what our roster will look like from 41-65 and or 84.
I'll bet we see close to 20 different Wrestlers compete in the dual market next season and we won't know our NCAA lineup until Big Xii brackets are released.
On Iowa, they will be similar in who knows what they'll be. There is talk of Mikey going to 57, Arnold/PK at 65 and 74 and Ludington wearing a shirt...but could be rolled out in the dual.
Agree with this IF the big bump doesn’t negate the size advantage Jamison enjoys at 141/149.
oh yes... YOU do. lol
41 could be Jamison or Vega
49 swiderski
57 Travis or Robideau
65 Lockett
84 Come on...
Some real battles at 41, 57, and 84. And hopefully you guys get a more active heavy.
Interesting to see Caliendo vs Lockett. I think Dee can take Caliendo down. But its only theory now. That Iowa vs Oklahoma State looks mouth watering. Lots and lots of close ones.
However the lineups shake out that is going to be a heck of a dual. GIA should be sold out.
Wasn't sure which thread to put this in. Here's an interview Bo Nickal just released interviewing Zack Ryder that was filmed before Ryder hit the portal. I assume it was also before Rocco was rumored to be transferring, but I haven't watched yet
When Bo was making the thumbnail was he trying to make the most slappable face ever or does that just come naturally to him?
It’s amazing the strength and energy a wrestler can have, when they have a little food
Honestly, no one should EVER complain about Travis’ performance last year. He did what he was asked to do
Tossups the entire list. That’s insane. Maybe a slight lean to Iowa. But, almost negligible.

what do you mean slight Iowa lean? I see slight OSU lean.
Iowa favorites are Ayala, Caliendo (maybe, but not really), Ferrari and Bailey.
Sprately, Facundo, Merrill and Doucet are OSU favorites.
Swiderski v Williams and Robideau v Voinovich both pushes.
Heard Ayala wet himself when he heard of the Figeuroa transfer news. Championship match flash backs.
Is it true Steveson found an extra year and wants to portal down to Stilly to win that 3rd title under DT.Hendrickson mindset bud!
I believe Hendrickson done broke that man.Is it true Steveson found an extra year and wants to portal down to Stilly to win that 3rd title under DT.
Kueter should be the favorite over KD, especially if he puts on some weight while he's rehabbing and not playing football. He AA'd as a freshman, that's impressive at HWT especially with the depth this past season.
Kennedy should also be considered the favorite at this point. He just finished 4th and has been at 174 for a while. He was also the only guy to get takedown on DJ in the tournament.
I would say Ayala-Figs is a tossup since Figs has the win at 125, but Ayala has show he's quality at 133. I would also probably put us as the favorite at 157 even without knowing who either team will put out.
I'd take another year of Pindrickson. I think he could pin everyone remaining at 285.
... but in a single season and breaking McCready's record would be fun!
