Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

[NEIACyclone]

Roster turnover, graduates, roster holes and transfer options…

Need a transfer again at 84,97 and maybe another body at 65/74 imo

Let off-season begin

 

[Wieds789]

Do you guys think Merrill starts or redshirts next year

 

[Wieds789]

And endene is first guy we should look at in my opinion

 

[CycloneT]

25: Castillo
33 Grice
41 E. Frost
49: Ech
57: J frost/ Paniro
65: Euton
74: Gaitan
84: Bartlett/Transfer
97: Transfer
285: Peanut

Is that what were looking at the minimum

 

[Diehardisu6988]

Need 84,65,97 in order imo. And I think Merrill should start.

From the word go it’s him.

And endene is first guy we should look at in my opinion

I’m out on it. Might and probably will come back to bite me but right now injury history and us…don’t like that combo unless he wants to come for the cost of books and ramen

I'm guessing Merril gets the reigns at heavy...majored Peanut at the Grandview Open

Do we need to worry about anybody leaving ?

I think frosts brother think there a package deal which idk if Evan would wanna leave after this season

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Do we need to worry about anybody leaving ?

I would be surprised if all AE, EF, JF and PJ are at ISU this fall. I'm assuming the Frosts are a package deal at staying or leaving.

 

[jkbuff98]

Ech won’t leave doubt PJ would

 

[CycloneCarl5]

Do we need to worry about anybody leaving ?

Depending on what really happened with E frost, there could be departures from both frost bros.

 

[CycloneCarl5]

I see everyone mentioning Ech in the lineup next year, did he say for sure that he’s coming back?

 

[ISU22CY]

Do the frosts have their degrees? It would be disappointing to lose them…and if I learned anything last year with Casey nothing would surprise me

See Dresser's interview on other thread (Final interview...championships): he said Ech had one more year, which I took to mean he will be back. Also related: he said Yonger was staying to wrestle for the Cyclone RTC.

Hopefully we can keep a few more guys around the RTC

 

[stuclone]

Anthony will be back next year and he told me he is planning to go 149

I knew he had another year but haven’t heard a definitive answer on staying one more from Ech.

 

[Cylife]

Anthony will be back next year and he told me he is planning to go 149

is he too sucked down this year to reach his full potential? I’m trying to make sense of his strength at 141 and giving some of that up at 149. The last 2 months of this year did like more like the start of his year at 149 two years ago. He couldn’t horse guys around quite so much but maybe the weight clears out enough to make it a draw.

 

[cy4prez7]

Strength and conditioning staff? I assume wrestling had a dedicated one? Maybe I'm crazy for even saying anything but with all of the injuries, it's hard not to look at that.
