Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

At least Frost would only lose to one former ISU wrestler next year instead of two since Casey will likely be in the bench at OSU (unless Vega redshirts).
I could see Vega taking a RS year, but maybe not. 149 will lose Van Ness and Henson after next year
 
After beating Mendez, I don’t think Henson or Van Ness would worry Vega at all.
That’s a crazy take. Mendez is great, but how big was Vega on Saturday night compared to mendez? You think there’s no way van ness can’t score a TD on Vega? He had a length and leverage advantage at 141 that will diminish a little at 149. If he would’ve had stanich on Friday night in the semis holding his weight down for another weigh in he’s losing that match to Luke.

Huh? Never said there is no way Van Ness can’t takedown Vega. Where would you ever think I said that?

My point is that Vega is an undefeated national champion who has never been taken down in his career and beat the Hodge favorite in the finals. He is not making redshirt decisions based on who is or is not in the weight. Guys that good don’t wait for the weight to clear out.

Guess we will find out who is right, on multiple things here. We can check back in about 9 months

To your point that van ness can take him down.. what is Vegas path to victory over van ness if he’s giving up even just 1 takedown? Vega hasn’t proven to take good guys down outside of his leg cradle defense.

I’m very confused. I never made any claims about Van Ness and Vega. That was you. What are you asking me to defend?

“I don’t think Henson or van ness would worry Vega at all” …. “Never said there is no way van ness can’t takedown Vega” you aren’t an attorney by trade, right? Let’s hope not
 
It's
CyCity generally has inside info and said he did not like Willie's tweet, Tigerguy didn't dispute it and said we will be ok. I'm confident in the staffs ability to put together a lineup and will wait until the roster is set before completely freaking out
 
Us open ends April 26. Some guys wait until that is over so their training is not interrupted. Perhaps our target transfers are in that bunch.
 
Listened to Basch and Willie’s podcast, and they think all the Stanford guys are staying put.

Really hoping for some good news soon.
