Offseason discussion about PSU's 2024-25 Lineup

It is almost scary to think about, but if all the recruits and current wrestlers stay, in the next few years, some weight classes could literally have a top 4 finisher or a possible finalist sitting on the bench.

Kasak 57, Haines 65, MM 174.

I don't see Haines going all the way to 174 in one year. MM could easily put on the weight to go up to 174. Of course Facundo might have something to say about this.....clearly he has gotten better too. One would think Barr has the inside track at 184, but Facundo could get chased up there too.

Haines and Kasak both have redshirts so no needed to go crazy forcing guys in the lineup

We basically had that this year if SVN hadn't been injured.

MM was small for 165 last year. I think dropping more likely than moving up. Don't forget he wrestled up last season to get both Haines and himself in the lineup

I honestly think Evans would have AA at 141 last year.

I don’t think the returning National champ and third place finisher is forcing anything. It will shake out just fine, but those guys will be more than happy to fight for any spot, I’m sure. They are moving up because they are young and still growing, not to just find a spot in the lineup.
