Next question:

How many NLWC members will attend the team trials, and at what weight?

(Mod comment - separate thread overdue)


Probably not the right thread but hearing someone from NLWC got in some trouble. Anyone else hearing anything 🤷. Hope this has a happy ending 😁

In unrelated matters, what are the chances Ayala transfers out next year to win a title?


(Mod comment - creating a new thread for 2025-26 Iowa talk)

Well the transfer portal has started. I don’t know if I’m missing anyone that’s already entered but can track here.

Taye Ghadiali, Heavyweight, Campbell, is in the transfer portal

Into B1G tournament semi finals with 2-1 win over USC. Home run in top of 9th won it for PSU.

From 247 insider (who hasn’t confirmed the Welsh news). He’s been saying this about Cael’s attitude since DT left.

College wrestling is an arms war right now amongst the big programs. I can tell you for a fact, we are not going to concede even an inch to Oklahoma State. The staff will do whatever they need to do to get the absolute best lineup out on the mat. Taylor going to Oklahoma State created a new world.

Is Cochran returning for his last season of eligibility? He would provide some nice depth, if not challenge to start, at 285 if needed. Might need a meal plan for the latter, but we saw him beat a 285 AA in BJC last season.

Confirmed fellas!

We are not the only school to get press about the displeasure with the big noon kickoff. This is just one story of several recently, including Ohio congressmen attempting to create a bill to end noon OSU kickoffs for every game except the Michigan game. I just despise the time slot for big games. I really do. It’s one of only a few issues we can agree with the buckeye fans.

(Mod - giving this topic it's own thread)


Any hs wrestling gurus care to share their class of 27 and 28 targets you think PSU will target. Projected weights would help too.... lol
