Re: Transfer portal

I think you're probably right. Someone just told me Kasak cannot beat Van Ness. Bartlett back at 141, Kasak RS, Van Ness at 149. Then Kasak takes over at 141 in '26. Good call.

Re: Transfer portal

Both Van Ness and Kasak placed 3rd at 149 the past 2 years. Kasak as a true frosh wrestling 'up.' Safe to say he had a better year than Van Ness, who peaked at NCAAs. Kasak was solid throughout. IMO, Kasak wins the spot at 149 with Bartlett returuning at 141 for one more year. Maybe Van Ness transfe...

Re: Week-End Salvo: Special Early East Coast Edition

No offense, but a lot of things would be interesting. I'd leave current athletes out of this. Your last sentence answered your own question.

Re: Week-End Salvo: Special Early East Coast Edition

LUEngineer: 10 is not enough. If the room isn’t ‘quality’ deep then the next elite kid won’t sign. Yes, eventually only 5 are needed for a top 10 finish but the real world math says you need 20 to produce those 5. Look at other elite rosters.

Week-End Salvo: Special Early East Coast Edition

NIL. Not quite a 4-letter word, but it should be. A vile, corrupt, illegitimate vehicle to bring professionalism to college athletics. Profane indeed. D1 college athletics are in total disarray. Conference realignment that makes no sense and de-emphasizes natural regional rivalries that fans want. D...

Re: Women's Varsity Wrestling.

Hope the women do well and glad to see LU is being aggressive in pursuit of recruits. Jimenez is #1 P4P in the country -- wow! And holding a bout either at halftime, or prior to the start of the dual (which would have to be a half hour before the start of the Men due to TV schedules, is a good way t...

Re: Rylan Rogers

BTW, no one is advocating RRogers drop to 174. Merely reporting what was said. It’s interesting information and not intended otherwise.

IF he can handle it, it fills a need. Still like the development of Schoppe as a viable option as well.

Re: Rylan Rogers

I agree. But many upper weights in high school either don’t cut much or wrestle up. RRogers doesn’t appear very tall, so body type wise it may be doable. If Logan could get to 165 after winning his last state title was at 182, it’s not like we haven’t seen this recently. That was 6 years later. We’l...

Re: Rylan Rogers

I don't think so in this case. Word is he's trying for 174. Pretty solid source. Don't ask.

Re: Rylan Rogers

mookie has a knack for knowing stuff like this. They wouldn't go to the trouble of bringing him in if he didn't have a place in the line-up. Whether it's 174 or 184, either one works for Lehigh. If either CRogers or JTDavis can man 184 and take that next step, then the line-up is taking shape, isn't...
