I hope we don't lose J Barr to the portal. Logjam, but coach Cael and crew will figure it out. More than likely they anticipated this situation and prepared for it. We shall see.
They could potentially lose either Josh Barr, Zack Ryder, Alex Facundo, Joe Sealey, and Tyler Kasak. If they do transfer I could see Josh Barr and Alex Facundo going to Michigan. Then Joe Sealey and Kasak are OSU. Then Ryder at Ohio State. His synergy would fit perfectly there. But after Carter and Greg graduate. Barr and Ryder battle it out. Originally I thought Ryder would take that some what easily but recently Barr’s growth rate is pretty damn good. I think it’s a 50/50 toss up and the loser will have no choice but to hit the portal or they will never be able to compete unless someone gets injured. Tyler Kasak apparently can’t make 141 or 149… somehow. He must’ve grown, well that kinda kills his chances of starting because 141 would’ve been wide open that year, now he has to somehow find a way to best either PJ Duke or Joe Sealey. Joe Sealey will probably never start unless he transfers which sucks. Then Kasak might be a one and done type of guy since PJ Duke is coming in. PJ Duke comes in and that seriously adds to the log jam.
I saw on a recent UA-cam video that the gentleman claims that Nagao has already got a medical redshirt.I look for Davis to take that spot without competition.I look for Levi Hanes to possibly redshirt but that’s still up in the air. I think Mirasola Will possibly take a red shirt at 197.
I actually wouldn't have minded to see Starocci and Bartlett move on. Let the new guys start there Penn State careers so we don't lose any of the future. Kasak is much more exciting than Bartlett, then you have Barr at 184 and Cochran or Mirasola at 197. Wait until Duke comes in next year. He's not going to want to redshirt. Good problem but you hate to lose some great wrestlers.
PSU is like a casino with stacks and stacks of blue chips. They hardly have any red or white. It's totally fair but seems not so. Furthermore, Coach Cael is both thee best shuffler and dealer in the business, and as we all know, the house always wins. The odds are with a new scoring record, and a tie with the legenday Gopher King, JRob with a miraculous 10 of a kind. The cards say, read em and weep. Can it be?
133 sounds like Davis, with Nagao being injured. That means 157 is the last real question (Kasak or Facundo). Hard to top last year but they just might do it.
Is Cochran a blue chip though? I think they’re at the point where there only rolling out blue chip guys unless you’re a national title contender. Nothing against Cochran but that’s how loaded they are.
I don't have a dog in the fight or anything against Carter S.and if he gets his 5th Natty I would commend him for doing so .But in my humble opinion he won't beat UNI' S KECKHIESEN ALTHOUGH IT WOLL BE A 1 POINT MATCH EITHER WAY
If Levi and Conner don’t redshirt Penn State will lose Alex and Josh to the transfer. Most likely going to one of Penn States main rivals. That’s a tough pill to swallow if Iam Cael Sanderson.
@@ethancarson6218 in a wrestle off I think Conner would win out. That would leave Josh out of the lineup with no redshirt to use since he already used one. A wrestler of his quality isn’t going to sit around and lose a year of eligibility. Smart thing for Cael to do is redshirt Conner.
@@Noscrap909 the plan i believe is to have both Mirasola’s red shirt but not Haines. Facundo certified at 157 so will fit there while Kasak red shirts. Barr up to 197 for a year and then back down to 184 next year after Carter is out.
Team keeps getting deeper and deeper. Feel a couple of these guys are going to follow DT.
THANKS for the continued good wrestling coverage. 👍😁👍
I totally agree. Cael has some tough decisions to make on the starting lineup.
Here's an idea.... LET THEM WRESTLE FOR THE POSITIONS!!! Winner starts that week.

Hard to top last year. But they just may do it.
Let the whining begin in Iowa City
Lineup prediction:
125: Lilledahl
133: Davis ( Nagao medical redshirt)
141: Beau
149: SVN
157: Facundo (Kasak redshirt)
165: Mesenbrink (sealey grey shirt)
174: Haines (Ryder redshirt)
184: Carter
197: Barr (mirasola redshirt)
HWT: Kerk (mirasola redshirt)
this is the lineup unless Cochran beats Barr in wrestle off
Looks about right
Yeah I agree
@@robhughey9588 Facundo at 157 seems a stretch. Has a big frame and looked very lean his freshman year.
@@Noscrap909he already cetified for the weight and weighed 162 at certifications. It was for a reason
Yeah I just don't see him leaving regardless but that's just me, there has been other penn st wrestlers in this position
Haines just tuned up Keegan O’Toole in the U20 team trials. It wasn’t even close
It wasn’t the U20 team trials…
Edit: that was for a senior world team spot.
Why tf would JB, Chance, James Green, JORDAN OLIVER, and so many more compete in U20s lmao.
Facundo shut Haines out 6-0 at the Olympic Trials.
@@JennieHackman I am not sold on Facundo as a folkstyle wrestler. I am sure he has gotten better in the room though

Facundo wrestled at 163 lbs internationally, that's the weight he and Levi wrestled, I think it more likely Facundo cuts to 157
Facundo weighed in for his cert at 159. He’s going 57. Somehow😅

Either one would likely transfer if they don’t win the position.
@@Noscrap909 Kasak has a redshirt. why portal?
@@memoo6163 I don’t think Facundo will be at 157. But that seems to be the rumor.
@Noscrap909 he's already below 165.
@@Noscrap909 it’s not a rumor he certified for 157 and weighed 162 while doing so. They won’t lose either, Kasak will red shirt.
Is Cochran a blue chip though?
I think they’re at the point where there only rolling out blue chip guys unless you’re a national title contender.
Nothing against Cochran but that’s how loaded they are.

No such thing as five national titles. It’s a fake year.
Barr at 197 and Conner will redshirt
If Levi and Conner don’t redshirt Penn State will lose Alex and Josh to the transfer. Most likely going to one of Penn States main rivals. That’s a tough pill to swallow if Iam Cael Sanderson.
How awesome of a program though to have those types of problems if you wanna call them problems
Yeah I don't like barr will be transferring anywhere

I think josh beats conner. And regardless I see conner redshirt
