2025-26 Lineup

[CycloneFan97]

I know the season isn't over yet, but with the news that Ech will be medically redshirting this season it only makes me wonder what next year's lineup will be.

Here's my best guess:
125 - Adrian Meza/Christian Castillo
133 - Evan Frost
141 - Anthony Echemendia/Jacob Frost
149 - Casey Swiderski/Paniro Johnson
157 - Paniro Johnson/Cody Chittum
165 - Connor Euton/MJ Gaitan/Aiden Riggins
174 - MJ Gaitan/Transfer
184 - Sawyer Bartelt/Tate Naaktgeboren
197 - Sawyer Bartelt/Transfer
HWT - Yonger Bastida

Castillo will have something to say about 125. Also believe Bartelt will be at 184. I don’t think he’s big enough for 197 and would be a very good 184

Will update accordingly, only reason I didn't originally include Castillo is I'm assuming he's going to redshirt his first year

 

[buf87]

I might be wrong, but I think MJ with stay at 174 unless a transfer comes in at 174 and forces him to 165.

Dresser said in a recent interview that Bartelt is going to 184 (next season).

 

[buf87]

I think 197 is the biggest question mark for next year.

 

[1CycloneWrestlingFan]

125 - Adrian Meza / Christian Castillo
133 - Evan Frost (Osmany if Frost cant make 33)
141 - Anthony Echemendia
149 - Casey Swiderski
157 - Cody Chittum
165 - Conner Euton
174 - MJ Gaitan
184 - Sawyer Bartelt
197 - Transfer
HWT - Yonger Bastida

My prediction. Dresser did say door wasn't shut on Carroll, could he come back at 97?

 

[stuclone]

I could see Tate Naak working to bulk up to 197 as well. He has a bigger frame than others on the team. Still hope we hit the portal hard for that weight

133 - Evan Frost (Osmany if Frost cant make 33)
141 - Anthony Echemendia
149 - Casey Swiderski
157 - Cody Chittum
165 - Conner Euton
174 - MJ Gaitan
184 - Sawyer Bartelt
197 - Transfer
HWT - Yonger Bastida

My prediction

I think they try and get Chittum on board to redshirt and have Swiderski and Paniro figure out 149 -157. No way can leave Jacob out of the discussion at 141-149

Evan - 133
Jacob & Ech - 141
Ech, Casey and Paniro - 149
Casey & Paniro - 157 (Cody redshirts)
Euton, Riggins, transfer - 165

Slipped my mind Cody redshirting. I agree

 

[iastatefan1]

Thin at 65/74/84 as we have seen this year. I think after 197 that is our biggest need. None of our log jam guys seem big enough for those weights.

 

[crooksie_26]

It may be tough for Evan to do 133 again, we just have a tough log jam of some really good guys from 141-157. I'm thinking Swiz could bulk up to 165 possibly.

 

[StormWarning11]

I know he was a little apprehensive about cutting down to 141 to start the year, but I think Ech's best weight is 141. He just looks like a different beast down there compared to 149.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Here's my best guess:
125 - Adrian Meza/Christian Castillo
133 - Evan Frost
141 - Anthony Echemendia/Jacob Frost
149 - Casey Swiderski/Paniro Johnson
157 - Paniro Johnson/Cody Chittum
165 - Connor Euton/MJ Gaitan/Aiden Riggins
174 - MJ Gaitan/Transfer
184 - Sawyer Bartelt/Tate Naaktgeboren
197 - Sawyer Bartelt/Transfer
HWT - Yonger Bastida

I don’t think Evan is going to try to make 133 again. I feel the same about 141 and Ech.

As we’ve learned this season, plans can always change….

In this scenario do you think PJ sits or transfers?

 

[JM4CY]

I think they try and get Chittum on board to redshirt and have Swiderski and Paniro figure out 149 -157. No way can leave Jacob out of the discussion at 141-149

Evan - 133
Jacob & Ech - 141
Ech, Casey and Paniro - 149
Casey & Paniro - 157 (Cody redshirts)
Euton, Riggins, transfer - 165

I don't want to shoot bad mojo but man, half the time these log jams solve themselves because someone inevitably snaps an ankle or something.

 

[stuclone]

I am guessing Ech is at 141 next year.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

I am guessing Ech is at 141 next year.

It is what is best for the team (except it blocks a Frost but helps relieve the jam at 149-157) but he was hesitant to do it this year.

Needless to say, 141 or 149 next year would not surprise me.

 

[1CycloneWrestlingFan]

In this scenario do you think PJ sits or transfers?

Neither, forgot chittum has redshirt. Paniro at 57 and chittum redshirts

 

[Cyclonewrestlingfan2022]

Are we even sure Evan Frost will be able to make it back down 133 again?
