man Keck looked really good all yr but Brooks handed him his head the last yr it would have been the same this yr that's just how good Brooks is and Carter would be a good match!!
2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)
- Thread starter RB-Old
- Start date
180 cm before my heart cath on Wednesday this week. Maybe she was making me feel good.
I told my wife this same story.
The one person who will know if your claims of being a great magician with a small wand are overstated.
We are pretty much all, myself included, assuming that Lilledahl goes as a true freshman. Do we actually have any facts to support that assumption? Genuinely curious.

Byers said he would be shocked if Davis ever sees 125 again and a redshirt is likely coming. Lilledahl is an absolute stud who is a special talent. He went completely unchallenged at the open including basically takedown drilling Kilkeary in the finals. It's pretty obvious what's going to happen.
125 is the weight true freshman are most likely to bust into the starting lineup and as you said Lilledahl is a special talent, so I see him winning the spot. Question is will it be day one or a wait and see type deal? So much can happen, and Cael does like to redshirt wrestlers although not necessarily in year one. 6 months away, ugh.
He might get baptized somewhere but no he's going to be a title contender by March 2025.
The days of frequent redshirting if a kid is ready are over
At B1Gs, my brother was standing next to Brooks in the Holiday Inn lobby on Saturday night. My brother is 5’7”, Brooks is no taller than 5’9”.
One thing about Aaron that helps him a lot is his arms--very long for his height. And you know, the whole physique helps too.
My opinion at the moment (not based on any inside knowledge) is that LL will be the 125 for PSU next year and will be the favorite and probable #1 seed by nationals. We'll see. I don't think we'll see him at 125 for more than just this year, but I believe Cael will want to try to get one season of 125 out of him since I think that Davis will also struggle to make that weight, but Desmond is coming in the following year who seems much more likely to be a multi-year or career 125.
That's all just my opinion from my observations (again, I have no insider information at all).
Ok, whatever. I have pictures if someone wants to post them.
This particular lineup is a dreadnaught! If you look up this term you will find that
dreadnoughts represent a specific naval design concept that is characterized by ALL BIG GUN configurations. This different from a battleship (like tOSU) that is configured with a few 16 inch guns and an array of smaller weaponry. So if you are a cruise liner like Rutgers; which wrestler in this lineup might you hope sink?
Just posting my predicted lineup because it's fun!
125 - LL / BD (BD will RS or challenge for 133)
133 - AN / BD (if they wrestle off I think BD wins)
141 - BB
149 - SVN / TK (think TK goes 157...would they wrestle-off?)
157 - TK / SVN (could SVN move up a weight due to being limited in off-season?)
165 - MM (MM RS after 165 title this season or next)
174 - AF (Levi RS for 165-174)
184 - JB / ZR (think Ryder will make things interesting...JB transfers if not the guy)
197 - CS
285 - GK
Can't believe it's only almost June

Looks good, but MM doesn't have a redshirt available.
Oh, wow. I thought during his commitment to PSU he said the lineup was flexible for he and Levi since they both had RS available? I'm okay with MM the next few seasons then!
He could have taken an Olympic redshirt last year. No regular shirt available.Oh, wow. I thought during his commitment to PSU he said the lineup was flexible for he and Levi since they both had RS available? I'm okay with MM the next few seasons then!
Maybe he could use the Nagao 2025 Olympic Shirt.
Never gets old does it lol. But in order to use said redshirt he must first beat Nico in the room lol. And can only wrestle on the same mat carton/ pletcher are wrestling on if anyone can ever ****ing find it lmfao
5' 10.9". @82bordeaux is no John Holmes confirmed.
Early Penn State Wrestling Lineup Preview (2024/2025) - This guys intel on our lineup seems to be outdated, here’s the video none the less
Looks great. NCAA Championship level. We'll know more when the schedule is released. 😉
Even after we know we will continue to have arguments about what should be done with different weights.
I think he spent all last year trying what was being taught, and in turn learning. I imagine his scrambling finishes will be improved this year. How much will determine a lot. It took Nico 5 years to master the finish he used against Gilman.
Well . . . that was worth a listen if only to start the ramp up to another year of obsession. Between the 3 guys there was a fair amount of balance. I could do without the Van Ness injury prognostications.
Them Actually pondering if guys will “figure out “ MM let me know this was a clown show preview
It's too early for much of this but as usual their prognostications had a few insightful nuggets and a bit more crap.
125 - Lilledahl - anyone who questions him as a threat for a national title out of the gate in a relatively weak weight class, is simply ill-informed.
141 - Bartlett was a mistake follow the Granby roll through from being the champ, it will be that tight again most likely.
Kasak - 149/157/Redshirt - it's August, noone really knows
149 - Van Ness, his knee was already hurt for a year + and he was a threat. He will come back stronger and healthy, finally.
157 - who knows.
165 - who knows
Facundo - His pre PSU career was as heralded as any of our recruits, then the kid had a disappointing day of competition, and far too many have already writen him off completely. I think he goes this year and Levi shirts. If he sits, I think he portals out next year, he is unfortunately in the middle of the log jam.
Josh Barr - Carter has already said he will be a multi time champ. The last time we heard praise like that, was Marky talking about Carter.
Carter - he is a 4xer, a tactician, now healthy and motivated. He wins at 184 or 197 vs Keck or AJ. Either will be must watch, but since when has Keck's career anointed him the second coming? Very good, but not legendary.
Kerk - he remains an enigma. His biggest obstacle to running away with it is between his ears. He has Parris' number until he didn't and you could see it in his body language and lack of aggression.
IMO he was no longer into it mentally. He needs to hang out with Mitchell more often and just go for it. Could I see Feldman beating him? Unfortunately, yes, but if Kerk stays aggressive it shouldn't be that close.
It's quite easy to see PSU with 4-6 champs without being much of a homer.
