2024-25 Wrestling (oSu lineup breakdown)

That's a big hole. No one really of note. And Williams is SO TALENTED. Sad circumstances for a kid who clearly also needed some mental health help.
Some truly think Carter has the upside. Tagen can definitely stand to go up and he beat JW in the room. I just don’t think Cael is ready for 41 if it goes that way. Hopefully they can get him squared away
Unfortunately he is not yet ready to accept any help.
I would LOVE to see Tagen move up. It definitely looked like he held back in matches a bit last year, not wanting to risk falling off a cliff.
And forgot about Carter Young. No way is he a 149.
Hughes missed weight at JR WTT. So clearly he could go up as well.
I guess there are a lot options. LOL
Travis definitely too big for 149.
Prolly won't ever get official "word." We'll all learn the same way Jacarra did 🤣 🤣 🤣
Very sad. Coach Taylor and Co. are implementing the 3 strikes your out system. I think Jordan had several "foul balls" as well so to speak. Jordan made it through some grueling practices throughout the summer only to falter off the mat. I wish him well and I hope he succeeds in all avenues of life.
IMO going forward, 133- Reece or Cael, 141- Carter or Cael, 149- Tagen.

Teague is not dropping back to 149. He would do it if he had to but he’s in the mid 70’s and the staff won’t cut him that hard. IMO
Well, actually...
The quote I got with regard to offenses... "This ain't baseball"
At the KU football game last year, JW was hammered. He could barely walk out of the restroom, the kid has some issues.
@osu2082 can we not pass a law that it’s legal for Osu athletes to drink and drive?

Wonder what he was tearing up in the GIA parking lot?Oklahoma State 149-Pounder Jordan Williams Dismissed from Team After Second Arrest

Wonder how OSU managed to keep his arrest last year quiet? I hope the new staff will put character over ability.
Your mom.
Classy. She died 8 years ago.
Prolly couldn’t get off bottom.
Oh come on! you gotta admit you lined that one up.
Good message and hope he is well. Would've been nice to see him again in orange but there are things in life more important than wrestling. Hope he can get help and support and finish his college education.
Hes obviously hurting with the conflict of wrestling is probably all he knows and his heart just isn't in it enough anymore. I got that sense even before he stepped on campus. You could always tell from his body language on the mat. Just didn't want it. I hate to say it but it's kinda similar to what we saw from Thompson last year.
I could be totally wrong because I didn’t get to watch as many duals as I’d have liked to, but I thought it looked like Thompson was hurting from the cut to 174. Even felt like you could tell the weeks he had an easier time cutting than others (compare his 2 Bedlam matches vs Picklo). I think a redshirt year to train with this staff/roster and coming back at 184 could be great for him.
I think Thompson might’ve been overwhelmed by what it takes. At least I hope that’s what it was.
JW seemed to be overwhelmed by not wanting to do what he knows it takes?
I hope the best and that he is DTs Bubba Jenkins.
Perfectly said. There's a lot of pressure being a big time recruit and delivering. Some guys can't handle it or don't want it.
We'll see, whatever it was, he needs to be a lot better than what we saw from him last year. Hopefully he gains some offense redshirting.
With Thompson body size 174 really shouldn’t have been a brutal cut (as I sit here 15 pounds overweight). It seems it was more how he cut down based on what was said.
Yeah, that is kind of what I was saying as far as being overwhelmed with how to do the things it takes. Wrestling at a blue blood is tons different than dominating everyone in high school.

That is quite a bit to navigate for a young person and I doubt he has had to keep a decent cut for very long in his entire life. HS coaches, etc. don't really know how to coach the nutrition part. Its still more of a, "here, put these trash bags on and go run. If you get thirsty, rinse your mouth out, but don't swallow the water. Go home tonight and eat a spoonful of peanut butter."
