Here's a stab at PSU's lineup:

125--Megaludis/Martelloti
133--Long
141--Sherlock/Pearson/A Alton (unlikely)
149--Molinaro
157--D Alton/English/Vollrath
165--Taylor
174--Ruth
184--Wright
197--Steadman/Ruggear
Hwt--Wade

Don't be surprised if QW goes 197.
Crowell might go 184 or Ruth with Cowburn at 174.
We shall see.
Q told me it won't be decided until the end of the summer.

OU:
125: Patterson
133: Keller/Ekstrom/Brewer
141: Maple/N. Lester
149: M. Lester/DeAngelis/Vernon/N. Lester
157: Nelson/M. Lester/DeAngelis
165: Detmer/Nelson
174: Spangler/Bridell
184: Schmidtke
197: Hall
285: Elijah Madison

There is absolutely no truth to these annual rumors that Dom is transferring. The gospel according to Tigerfan!

Thanks, KR. I knew there was the possibility that both Ruth and Wright would move up, opening the door for Cowburn to move in at 174. I guess I was picking with my heart. I think with Ruth and Wright up a weight PSU is a stronger dual meet team, but I think they're a stronger NCAA team with them both back at their last year weights (unless they grow over the year).

In my interview with him Q pretty much outlines what he would need to do to get there & he seemed like he had no back off in doing so. Also Ed Ruth told me that he would rather wrestle 184.

It will be interesting to see if he shows up at the WTT this weekend & wrestles at the same weight. If he no-shows then I think that it might be an indication that he is moving up, but he also might be giving that shoulder a rest. Of course he might also no show if Cael is wrestling the same weight as well.

I'm pretty sure Q will be there and might bump into his coach if things go well.
On second thought, I'm not sure that falls under "going well" for Q.

It would be entertaining to see Q try to ankle pick CS, since apparently that was what they were trying to get him to work through most of the season.
