Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

people really sleeping on evan at 141. with ech and vega up and mendez done. i think siedel and blaze stay down not sure about jax
With all that movement up, if Siedel and Blaze stay at 133, I’m right there with you. Bassett will be there at 141 and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jax moved up though. What about Davino (is Kade Brown a good enough option for OSU at 141), Van Dee (Hardy is done, right?)? Does Stanich stay at 141? A LOT going on down there.

I think Stanich definitely stays, and as of now is in a tier above Evan. Evan is not a title contender yet.
 
Where would he fit in at Penn State lol?
174 is the one weight they don't have an obvious starter right now without someone moving around weights. Henckel is pretty dang good and probably penciled in as starter right now, so that could be Norman's spot. Seems like Mesenbrink isn't going to move up and Duke will RS and take over 165 once MM is gone.

Why would Duke redshirt if the 5 for 5 is enacted? Or isn’t that a done deal yet?
Well he doesn’t have to I guess. Reality is they have Kasak and Duke at 157 so, if Mesenbrink isn’t going up, someone is sitting. Which is crazy since Duke was just 3rd and Kasak was 3rd two times in the prior two seasons.

Good luck to them getting Kasak back on the mat long-term. I think his head injuries become a problem and potentially force him out.
