Next Years Lineup
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
I honestly thought you said he was going 41ā¦which was the premise behind my post.
Saldata, I agree.
Really? I'm mostly hoping for the big guy, but bring it on let's right this ship!
If we donāt get a transfer at 165 our starter will more than likely be Manibog so Iād say yes.
Jordan Williams is registered for the last chance team trials at 65 kg 143 LB. I wonder if we see Williams at 141 and Jamison at 149 Jamison is very strong and Williams length at 141 would be great. Just some food for thought
Holding the weight through the season would be the issue. I see Jamison and Williams at the same weights next year.
Lee in his latest DD podcast mentioned talking w/ Jamison after NCAAs. He said That Jamison told him that he didn't realize what a grind the College season actually was. We all know Jamison is tough and He w/o a doubt along w/ IZZY had the toughest schedule w/ one ranked guy after another. That damn blue team out east wrestles fewer matches and it seems to work well for them so hopefully we get some quality depth at more weights to possibly rotate some guys in and out through the schedule and maybe they'll be better off when NCAAs rolls around.
I would rather see Williams put on 5-8 pounds of muscle and stay at 49.
Agreed and I think that's what we see.
That makes a lot of sense
Not that my opinion matters but I'd be fine with fewer matches. Reducing their match numbers by 1/2 or 1/3 would put them in the realm of PSU match numbers. As a fan I'm only pumped up for about 70% of the matches, and all I have to do is watch TV for a few hours LOL. Maybe when it's your 12th match instead of your 22nd you're itching to get out there more. Excitement is a key part of the high level success in any kind of performance space.
I've mused on this before but I'd be really curious to hear what the athletes think about more/less matches in the folkstyle season.

With the new redshirt allowance of four matches may be let the redshirts wrestle more of the matches toward the end of the season. I know that sounds like a copout, but not as bad as what Mizzou did to Iowa State in the last meet. For example this year we should have sent out redshirts when wrestling OU. Maybe structure our schedule to see Wyoming, OU, and Northern Colorado in February along with Iowa. Move Mizzou and Iowa State earlier. This way we do not grind out our starters at the end of the season.
Speaking of Redshirts, I looked at wrestlestat the other day and saw that most if not all of our RS had very few matches. I think it was about the same as last season as well. If I can recall we used to have our RS hitting around 12-15 matches. Not sure why we aren't trying to get these freshman on the mat more.
seems as though there are fewer open tournaments- or at least fewer we go to.
Thoughts are with the newly found NIL money we get Thompson and similar redshirts some high quality matches like Iowa did against Plott to see what we have, and protect our NCAA tournament wrestler against the stronger wrestlers that they are more likely to be injured by. It always seemed like guys got hurt wrestling highly ranked guys. This way fans get to see what the future looks like as well as these guys get some D1 quality matches.
That's the thing right? If you want postseason success you need to be as healthy and ready to go as possible for those two weekends in March. You do that by minimizing mat time - just enough to be sharp. I don't like it as a fan because I greatly prefer watching duals over tournaments and I enjoy participating in several months of competition rather than only two weekends. BUT you can't argue with the results and it makes sense when I take stock of performance type situations that I'm in.
I find it kind of crazy that the NCAA doesnāt have a required number of duals everyone has to wrestle.
At least Penn State has a long way to go to get to 34. We are fast approaching Houston Golf status w/ OSU Wrestling.
133 next year:
If we see Hughes here, I think he's easily a B12 finalist. If he can reasonably hold the weight I think there's several on this list he can beat. We will undoubtedly see different names in here before March of next year but this gives us an idea. He would see more than half of this list at CKLV.
| 2 | FR | Ryan Crookham | Lehigh | |
| 4 | FR | Nasir Bailey | Little Rock | |
| 5 | JR | Dylan Ragusin | Michigan | |
| 6 | FR | Evan Frost | Iowa State | |
| 7 | JR | Dylan Shawver | Rutgers | |
| 8 | JR | Kai Orine | NC State | |
| 9 | SO | Aaron Nagao | Penn State | |
| 10 | FR | Tyler Wells | Minnesota | |
| 11 | FR | Jacob Van Dee | Nebraska | |

So now that we know a couple portal guys that will be Cowboys, here's a revised guess at the lineup.
125 - Sprately
133 - Hughes ?
141 - Jamison ?
149 - Williams
157 - Travis
165 - Fish
174 - Hamiti
184 - Plott
197 - Carroll
Hwt - Doucet
Thoughts on Carter Young? What weight is he? Will Jamison make 141 again? Can Hughes make 133 and have energy? Other portal guys? Any other predictions?

Fish at 65, Hamitti at 74 so I would imagine Thompson will redshirt next year and battle it out with Robb the year after for 84
Thompson is worlds away from being close to an AA right now.
He was wrestling awful and being a Fr was the least of it
Wyatt Hendrickson is in the portal. Surly could use him for 1 yearā¦
Stillwater is a 2 hour drive from his hometown - Newton, KS.
Are we really in the running with Alirez? That would be an amazing pick up
Portal talk is in the NCAA Portal thread if youāre interested!
