@VallezVincent @WrestlingSNL @NlwcFan @NittanyLionWC @GoPSUsports He’s better than Carr

@WrestlingSNL @NlwcFan @NittanyLionWC @GoPSUsports He doesn’t want that D Carr smoke

Mitchell Mesenbrink is not registered for the 2026 U.S. Open, and appears to have camps lined up during the World Team Trials window, all signs point to him sitting out the freestyle season rather than making a run at this year’s World Team. More than anything, it looks like one of the biggest names in college wrestling may be pressing pause on freestyle for now.

@JustinJBasch What’s your set? I just started cooking homemade pizza and am a noob lol. Got a pizza stone but nothing else😂

Brisket yesterday, pizza tonight! Listen to that crunch. 👌

@GoingParabolic Tom Lee is a bullish shiller

@CPyles8 Do you think AI will augment the current state of reffing and reviews? In an AI class at UVA, and we covered Eagle Eye in the NBA (AI call reviewing), and there seems to be a strong use case in wrestling

Going to be a fun FRL tomorrow with Coach Metcalf and Coach St. John hopping on! Send on your FRL Questions!

@mikechoi52 @KozakJon Guess is kasak 57, PJ RS, Mes 65, Henckel 74. Really don't know what'll happen tho!

@KozakJon Wow kasak still holding 70kg. Maybe Kasak 57, duke 65 mesenbrink 74? And they still have sealey and henckel lol

Penn State/NLWC guys just hit the US Open entries: Luke Lilledahl, 57 Marcus Blaze, 61 Nate Desmond, 65 Kyison Garcia, 65 Tyler Kasak, 70 Connor Pierce, 70 Joe Sealey, 74 Will Henckel, 79 Rocco Welsh, 86 Josh Barr, 92 Connor Mirasola, 97 Cole Mirasola, 125

@rasslinnerd134 @wrestlingnomad *From everything I've noticed being at a funded startup for 5 months*

@rasslinnerd134 @wrestlingnomad Yeah, I think there's VC and traditional money in RAF which is probably attractive to TKO. Adjacent client bases + looks like wrestling is growing nicely. In startup acq world, they tether to growth and prospective investment rather than revenues—especially w startups like RAF

I am increasingly thinking this ends with them being bought by TKO

@addtripstogreco @powers_of_psu I'll respond. He got 2 takedowns on Troy Spratley. He had objectively a difficult bracket

@powers_of_psu No they were boooing. Lilladahl didn’t do anything the whole tournament

They weren’t booing. They were chanting Luke. A decade without a serious 125-lb challenger. The torturous “Cataclysm Black Hole” was suddenly filled with joy & sunshine.

@Traveler2236 Kaspa has some major potential if we’re measuring these on strictly tps

People are buying Cardano. Do you have any idea how NOT successful that utility is? How many people exist right now? 8 BILLION! Yet, Cardano can only facilitate 10-20 transactions per second. Solana can facilitate 1000 per second, but fails when the limits are pushed. XRP facilitates 1500 per second solid, no issues, EVER. The world is full of greedy, self centered, lustful, selfish people, and they want to BUY and SELL without delay or restriction. Cardano cannot meet that need, OBJECTIVELY. Solana cannot meet that need, OBJECTIVELY. XRP is already proving to meet that need all around the world. The Clarity Act is a formality to Ripple. They proved in the lawsuit that there was Clarity. Investing in anything other than XRP is absolutely stupid. I'm not sorry for saying that. I'm not here to waste time or ruin lives.

@Cornell_Kevins This is great! Nickal* tho😉

My Ultimate - All Time Hodge Stat Sheet. Yellow marks High end Pinkish marks low end If you have trouble seeing picture, here is google sheets link docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Note: Yes, I do realize that Nick Ackerman is not included. That is no disrespect to the disabled..It just simply was going to throw off all stats with another project I’m working on since he wrestled no D-1 matches, and had 4 losses that year .

Official: Mesenbrink Gets the Hodge! Penn State's Mitchell Mesenbrink has won the 2026 Hodge Trophy after his second consecutive undefeated season & going 27-0. Mesenbrink won every single match this season by bonus, with the exception of a 6-0 decision over Bryce Hepner in the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Nittany Lions, who have had 10 of the last 15 finalists, are now responsible for 2 of the last 3 trophies and have more than double the Hodge Trophies of any other program, with 8 winners.

@JustinJBasch Need to get him on the show!!!

@pretty_rob @JustinJBasch @__ABALLDAY 😂😂wow. I can’t believe I completely imagined a reality where he won because that just made the most sense in my mind

@SamCooper03 @JustinJBasch @__ABALLDAY Unfortunately Carter got robbed of a Hodge last year.

@pennstateWREST Easy

Mitchell Mesenbrink is your 2026 Hodge Trophy Winner! gopsusports.com/news/2026/3/30… #PSUwr

@pretty_rob @JustinJBasch @__ABALLDAY Maybe Carter Starocci

@JustinJBasch I’m saying DT (2), Wyatt and Alex Dieringer voted for Jax. And I’m saying @__ABALLDAY voted for Barr

Minnesota wrestling mourns the loss of legendary Gophers head coach J Robinson. Rest in peace, Coach.

@baschamania gotta do a PJ Duke pod and ask about freestyle vs folkstyle + his preferences🙏

@reiker80 @bulletbillbull @EZ_Wrestling Not sure how you’re getting that wrong…he placed 3rd. To be a finalist, you need to place 1st or 2nd 😂😭, hence being in the finals😂… Levi lost in the semis in 2025 to Dean Hamiti

@bulletbillbull @SamCooper03 @EZ_Wrestling The fact that he took 2nd, 1st, 3rd and 1st tells me he is a 4 times finalist, didn’t say he was a 4 time champion….

Levi Haines 👏🏻 4 time Big Ten Champion 4 time NCAA Finalist 2 time NCAA Champion Unfortunately will probably never get the credit he deserves as a college wrestler. Until, he wins a world title this fall for Team 🇺🇸 at 79 kg. 😎

@reiker80 @EZ_Wrestling Rage bait

@SamCooper03 @EZ_Wrestling No he is 4 time finalist, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 1st.

@MrPatMineo I think some of them are saying “luuuuuuuke”

Why would they boo Luke? I don’t get it.
