Evan Tallmadge is listed as a Pitt wrestler for last chance qualifier. Pretty good sign he is coming here id say
24/25 Lineup + Transfer Speculation (Coming and Going)
- Thread starter wrestlingfan22
- Start date
No real connection to Pitt but definitely an interesting option to kick the tires on. 157/165 is where we are a big question mark and a 1 year stop gap to let guys develop would work well
He posted a picture where he was with someone in a pitt sweatshirt last weekend and his comments on Vinnies post are practically announcing his commitment
I didn’t realize it, but I’m seeing it on flo that Colton Camacho entered the transfer portal.
Why not try to get your grad degree paid for. Ryan Michaels in the portal too. Lledo is going to lock haven
He didn’t have much competition as a senior because a number of top guys changed weight classes to avoid him. Including Clovis and Poway.

Seeing Buffalo's Chase Kranitz has committed to Pitt. 19-11 as a red-shirt freshman.
Kranitz had a solid year as Bucknell's starting 184. Won over 20 matches and had many close loses to national qualifiers. He has 3 years of eligibility left, would expect him to sit behind Reece next year then challenge for the starting spot in 2026/2027
Yeah, that’s a shame. It almost looks like a situation where before that decision was made they had to have somebody already ready to be hired so they can get a hold of these kids before they make that decision.
Does anybody know the word on Talmadge just because he was the first one we heard about and then all of a sudden Kranitz committed and they announced it already has he committed or is it coming shortly?
My guess is a transfer from an academy is not as simple and there’s probably a little more red tape that needs finalized before they can formally announce it.
Tallamadge has gone on a visit and posted it.
Tristan Steldt also recently took a visit. Out of Wisconsin

I do really like that lineup. But an upgrade or two can still easily occur and needs to occur if you want to challange Vtech UNc etc not even talking about nc state because they are loaded for one more year
125- now have two guys who can win matches at the college level. Feel a lot better with depth may the best man win.
133- vinnie has another year post injury to show he is capable. Encouraging start but didn’t secure national bid which was disappointing
141- ant is perhaps Pitts highest ranked recruit since? Coming off injury so probably won’t have the highest expectations but should be good
149- I think everyone can agree the arrow is pointing up on Finn
157- keslar/ Evans will be a good battle. Either way like 125 happy to have two capable guys now but overall a lot needs to be proven
165- McKay I would look hard at the transfer portal but at least have a heralded recruit
174- Luca is a top 20 guy at the least
184- great depth heller and kranitz are very good 1-2 punch
197- Stout may be our #1 guy in lineup
HWT- Pitzer if healthy should be an all American candidate

Heavyweight Harrington from Cali has committed as well
I expect another transfer in the 57-65 range before it’s all said and done.
I was actually looking on Twitter regarding Harrington and I was gonna ask somebody the same question because I saw that his mother is following Keith Gavin now as well as him
Injury halfway through the season. Took a medical redshirt and should have 4 full years of eligibility at Pitt
Im with others that a one year transfer at 157 and 165 might be the best move for the team. Lots of potential there now but not sure Evans or Mackay is quite ready for major college action just yet. This is based on what I saw from them this year
Is he an Askren kid? It would be nice to get a pipeline from there, tons of good kids coming from there, and I believe I heard Askren mention the Hellers came from his club.
Askey from App State that I wanted at 157 is transferring to Minnesota. Also, there are rumors that Mason Gibson could be decommitting from Penn State and heading to Rutgers.
This wouldn't be surprising because I don't think Gibson ever sees the lineup at PSU.
Hard to imagine how they fit all their kids in the lineup. Lots of kids who are high AA caliber will be sitting on the bench. Hopefully some that transfer out like PA and want to come out to Pittsburgh.
You’re not wrong and it would be nice to get a few and then you see certain guys that you almost know are not at the level of who they bring in already like a Gary Steen. I sure the hell don’t want him back, but why did he ever leave? He will never see the Mat unless it’s for like senior day or major injuries so he’s just gonna get beat on in practice for five years. Sounds like a lot of fun.
It’s crazy that they have guys like Barraclaugh who could AA anywhere, just sit the bench and probably never start. Maybe they just want to be a part of a great team, even if you don’t get in the lineup much?
Braeden Davis was the number 1 seed at NCAAs and may not even start again with Lilledahl coming in.
I didn’t understand why Steen would go there when he was set up to be a multi year starter at Pitt.

Pitt was not really an option for Steen when he decommitted.
That’s why I think Mason Gibson is possibly de committing and moving on to another school because they have Lilledahl coming in and will start at 125 and Braden Davis will most likely go to 133
