24/25 Lineup + Transfer Speculation (Coming and Going)
- Thread starter wrestlingfan22
- Start date
Yes he was past two years. 2x national qualifier has gone 1-4 for the two years though
I’m assuming Lou’s son comes on board, 4x state placer in Ohio. Finished 3rd this year in Karson Browns bracket
Looks like Camacho found a 133 lb spot at Edinboro. Wish him luck.
Gavin and Hill must have an agreement in place. This is at least the 3rd panther wrestler to transfer there in the last couple years.
AJ Schopp returning as an assistant coach will help things turn around. When’s the last time Pitt won a team trophy?
Very long, when’s the last time Pitt never had an ncaa qualifier, that’s where they are
Well I would hope Pitt would have multiple ncaa qualifiers a year considering they have 7x the funding Edinboro has. My nephew wrestled for Edinboro in the early 2000’s and it was ncaa finalist year after year
It’s a shame how far that program has fallen since Flynn left. I went to school there in the late OO’s and they had some good teams. The portal has been brutal to them. They’ve lost so many good wrestlers in recent years to the portal.
Believe me when I tell you I’m not arguing against what Edinboro used to be because they were dynamite and it is a shame what’s happened to them, Clarion, etc. I’m worried about Pitt only, and unfortunately we don’t live up to what we could be
Former Columbia 125 Nick Babin has committed. A lot of depth now in a quick period of time. Was very good in 2022–2023 had a down year last year
Babin was a former round of 16 wrestler, so that’s a good pickup, but curious about this one. I’m sure both him and Tallmadge are expecting to start and neither are transferring here to be backups. My guess is Tallmadge is still dealing with the injury that ended his season last year and doesn’t think he will be ready for next year?
Babin only has 1 year left I think and probably thinks he can win the spot. Tallamadge would sit/redshirt because he maybe/technically never used one at naval academy.
Terrell Barraclaugh has entered the portal, would be a nice get at 165 if the staff doesn’t think MacKay is ready yet.
He will be an AA this year, lost 2-1 to Shane Griffith at 174 and wrestled Mesenbrink closer than anyone but Carr all year.
He should be already on his way to Pitt, go get him Keith!!!
Take it for what it’s worth. He is from Utah. Only schools he follows on Instagram outside of PSU are Nebraksa and Utah Valley.
should do everything we can to bring him in. Only here for 1 year so won’t block recruits long term and is a real all American caliber wrestler
Asu has been a name I heard during the season. UVU would bring him to his home state. Nebraska should have an opening at 165 so it would make sense.
Well, the good thing there is they already have Antrell Taylor, who was an All-American so unless he would go 174. but who knows pitt might not even be looking at him
Taylor looks to be going going down to 157 with Robb graduating
Gerrit Nijenhuis has entered the portal. Obvious candidate if he goes 165. Been back and forth between 165 and 174 throughout his career. I feel like his best performances have been at 165 but not sure about the weight cut
I didn’t think he had any eligibility left. Obvious connections to Pitt with Roselli being his former coach as well as he’s from western PA.
Agreed, I don't think he has hit his ceiling yet and could be a real asset for us.
He’s been in college for awhile though and results look to be getting worse judging by wrestlestat. Looks like he didn’t start at Oklahoma this year
Another top 165 has entered the portal. Cam amine
I have no clue where he might go. He has been a Michigan man since birth essentially as his whole family went there and He grew up in the state. Wasn’t expecting to see that portal entry but maybe he just wants to see whatever the best masters program he wants could be the place to go
Michigan wanted him to wrestle at 174 next year and maybe he didn't want to go up. He is a good wrestler that is incredibly boring to watch.
He'd fit right in at Pitt
Looks like he’s going to Cal Bakersfield. Kinda surprising move, but who wouldn’t want to spend a year in Cali?
You obviously never have been to Bakersfield.
Its only redeeming feature is that it’s on the way to Yosemite and Sequoia national parks.
Speaking of Bakersfield Mateo de la pena committed. I believe he was CBU’s started at 165 at the end of the year but I don’t envision him beating out Mackay but he is at least started capable depth not moving the needle but not a bad move either
