Discussion Topic: 2025-26 Buckeye lineup

These are the facts- If the Buckeyes are looking to actually compete this year for a medal, Herman, Birden and Gonzalez cannot be your starters. They just aren't ready, again if the Bucks think they can be a top 4/5 team. I am tempted to even put Gallagher on this list. Like others before me- the portal is a MUST this off season.

Willie is predicting Bucks take 3rd next year behind PSU and Iowa.
Someone posted on Bucknuts that there is speculation Nic might cut to 125.
I don’t see it but who knows.

I hate the idea of Nic cutting to 25. Why not bump to 49? Bumping up usually a better result. Maybe two weights is too much, but I still like it better than watching a guy like sponseller wrestle like a shell of themselves from trying to cut down.

I agree a 100% and would rather see Nic go up than down.
Only day 2 of the portal being open and not a ton of names.

I’m gonna use my best judgement and say this report or whatever you want to call it is total baloney.
Does anyone really think Bouzakis who manhandles 133 pounders will ever weigh 125? This is silly.

Nic is not going 125. He can barely make 133. His best chance to make lineup is Mendez deciding to go up to 149. Bouzakis beat half the all Americans this year and took the national champ to the brink. You just never know which version of Nic you will get on the mat. Davino I don’t believe gave up a takedown all year. If Mendez stays at 141 I’m guessing Shaw will be the starter at 149 whether he is ready or not.
I don’t see kharchla coming back after that awful finish and if he doesn’t I hope Rocco tries to make 174 again. Haines is much more winnable than mcenelly and Ferrari. Mcenelly looks like he may be the next great. Also helps our lineup unless we get someone in the portal which right now doesn’t look like many options.
