The all too early 26/27 season line up predictions. And go…
125- EV if he wants another year. Maybe Rojas
133 - AS
141 - BB
149 - CH
157 - CG or NN
165 - RB/NN or MC
174 - RB or SD
184 - No clue, maybe JB or GW
197 - SS
Biggins’ - JM
I assume we will start hearing some noise on portal guys. I’d imagine only focusing on competition and depth at the upper weights
The future is very bright!

I seen AS beside CH. I don’t see how he cut to 133 and maintained his gas tank. He has an impressive weight management regime. He’ll be a full sized 141 threat. Not sure how he’ll get plugged in with BB’s arrival and worry teams will throw a big bag at him to transfer

Seidel is one of them. He either makes 133 or Caleb bumps up to 157, Bo to 149, and Seidel to 141.

I know he's owned that matchup, but they were all close. I think most expected Eddie to drop one to him eventually. It just sucks that it happened at nationals.

But he was right there to make the semifinals this year, and right there to make the finals the year before. I think he'll be right there for a high AA finish next year.

I don't think he had enough time to mentally process the loss. Part of what makes the bloodround so difficult.
Wrestling is hard and he may very well be content with his career but I feel like he wants to finish it off differently.

I never forgot my last match, because it ended in a loss. That sting never really leaves you.
But it's such a hard sport and he's been through the ringer emotionally and physically.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way.

I'd like to hear former wrestlers.....You've watched 175-285. We have some good men BUT what does it take for them to improve to make AA level?? Are they capable of making the jump??

125: Eddie
133: Aaron
141: Bo
149: Caleb
157: Gaj
165: Ryan Burton
174: Sergio
184: Bullock
197: Sasso
285: Mullen
Five guys with legitimate shots at a national championship in the top half/five guys who should be gunning for AA in the bottom half.
Wild cards:
- The portal bringing in a starter
- Melvin Miller reclassifies (doubtful, but he'll turn 19 in October, so he wouldn't be a young freshman)
- Some weight changes, like NN up at 165 or Bo and Caleb going 49/57
- Any of a million things that can affect a group of college kids

125 - EV (with a more offensive approach)
133 - Seidel
141 - Bo
149 - Caleb
157 - Noah
165 - Weader or Transfer
174 - Burton
184 - Sergio or Bullock
197 - Sasso
285 - Mullen
Thoughts:
1. I am a big Dillon Campbell fan. I hate not finding a spot in the lineup for him. If we can keep him for one more year, i like the idea of either he or Seidel moving up to 141, Bo to 149, Gaj to 157 and Noah to 165 in 2028. Maybe Melvin goes 174 but that depends on how much physical growth he shows during his senior year. He looks like a 157 to me right now.
2. Not sure if Bullock sticks around for another year but it appears he has a medical redshirt to use if he wants it. I think Sergio can be a more dynamic 184 if he can bulk up.
3. Loved Church out of high school but he is just not the same guy up at 165 that he was wrestling at 141/149 in high school. I don't think he has the chops to keep a starting spot. He has guts though.
4. Having Rozas train with Eddie for his redshirt year buys us a year, then we have Coluccio coming in '28. That little kid is a menace out of Jersey.
5. Help is coming at the upper weights. Carini, Konopka, Rocha, Fortier are all legit prospects.
6. I think Noah projects at a heavier weight than Gaj with his frame. Redshirting Colin gives him a full year of getting beat up in the room by Caleb.

Would not be surprised to see Sergio go up as well. Depth will obviously be strong everywhere.

Burton seems like a guy who will thrive w/o worrying about sucking weight and I think he's more than physical enough to go 174.
