Next Years Lineup

[Pennstate1985]

OSU doesn't do that.

We have a small call center where phones get answered and taking applications to be considered for transfer and it's a 3-part interview process.

We can't even spell NEL at PSU. We dum

Agree completely. I've said many times that I don't see OSU seriously competing for titles until 2030 for the reasons you state. The recruiting pipeline takes at least two years to produce any fruit and 5-6 years to reach maturity. Cael winning in two years was mainly because there was no dominant program existing at the time to overcome.

Shut your ho mouth! 😠🤣

We dont even know either teams full line up in 3-4 years. Granted we have a good idea but the psu list that was given earlier half those guys will be gone. No Davis, SVN, MM, or Kasak. In 28' or 29' it could happen! The RTC will continue to grow from outside guys and Cam, DJ and Plott are all sticking around.

Agree mostly but I don’t think these guys will need that long to bake. It’s not 5-6 years. ‘27 & ‘28 should be TOUGH squads imo.

I agree if we are not challenging in the next 3 years with the young talent, we are bringing in I would have to believe our coaching staff are not real good or our bad luck continues. Now days it is common for great high school wrestlers to shine brightly early. We have high school wrestlers beating top college or post college stars with regularity. If you can not develop young talent like Merrill, Ross, Lockett, Vega, Robideau, Forrest, Thompson, maybe Sakamoto or Spratley, Hughes, Jamison and Routledge you should lose your job or for sure should not be paid what our staff is being paid. I disagree with Pennstate1985.

We also have to take into acct how big it is that all of these super Seniors are going to hand around.

These young guys are going to get kicked in the teeth everyday in practice. It’ll really speed up the learning curve

If Rin can be who we think…
‘27
25-sprat
33-Rin/Jax
41-Vega/Jax
49- Wolbert/Vega
57-Robideau
65-Routledge
74-Dee
84-BT/Transfer
97-Merrill
HWT-Ross

There is also an outside shot at another mega ‘26 recruit coming in at 65-84 range (84 is only if he grows as big as his dad).

I think we could also see a scenario where guys pull hard and you move
33-Jax/Vega
41-Wolbert/Vega
49-Robideau
57-Routledge
65-Dee
74-?(maybe that mystery recruit)

A lot to be excited about either way

You've very high expectations for Wolbert he's a solid prospect but I don't see him beating Vega out for a spot. He could end up being as good as you say but currently he can't be put in the same tier as Vega

He may surprise I think

He definitely may but you cant put him on the same level of recruit as Vega currently that's all I'm saying
