Thanks Tim or whomever cleaned up the Sticky Threads at the top. Any chance you can please sticky one with the possible and projected teams PSU will wrestle next season?? Would love to see that even though we don't know dates yet and it's not final.

Thanks!

If you are correct, that is one hell of an "away" schedule. Typical of the B10,

The B1G schedule is on a set rotation that doesn't have anything to do with the strength of each team. Away schedule isn't as daunting as it looks as Minny & Wisconsin are shells or their former selves and Nebraska loses quite a bit. Iowa and tOSU should be very competitive duals, assuming everyone is healthy and Snyder is wrestling for tOSU.

It doesn't look like there is a BJC match in that projected Home schedule. The Illini maybe? Maybe an OOC foe?

Good point. IMHO, we would need to schedule a top non-conference foe to have a decent chance to sell out the BJC. The only two that come to mind are OK State and VT or maybe Cornell.

Minny might not be as bad as some think. They red shirted a lot of talent this year and had a good recruiting year. I can't give you the details, saw a summary on the Iowa board.

They will definitely be better with Early, Stroker and Stevenson coming off of Redshirt. Not to mention they will have(Seniors I believe) Kroels at HWT and Bret Pfar at 197 who is a stud, And some Legit underclassmen in Thorn and an improved Jake Short. They will not be pushovers

My Guess, not researched so I could be off

125- Lizak
133- Brancale
141-Thorn
149- Stroker/Short
157- Stroker/ Short
165- Early
174- Wanzek
184-Stephenson
197-Pfarr
HWT- Kroels

If the young guys are Legit after a year of development in the room this will be a competitive lineup in my opinion.

There is already a thread for this kind of post. I'm moving it to where it belongs.

Wouldn't be surprised if Petry or Polakowski filled the spot at 133 (or 125, and bumped Lizak up to 133).
