Have to think we might be in the drivers seat on his recruitment. Seems to be a solid pipeline with the KD wrestlers and there’s no shortage of talent in the room for middleweights to train with.
Something to consider, wouldn’t be a shock if a lot of these kids don’t want to wrestle 5 seasons. Could still see a scenario where 4 years is the norm. The season is a grind especially for kids with freestyle aspirations. Strategic use of an off year could become commonplace.
Not worried about Barr, you’re 6 months out from the start of the season plenty of time to recover. Kasak more concerning from an injury perspective but if he doesn’t go they have multiple options to fill the spot.
Don’t know how to even answer this one. Might go with Zain because if he had redshirted his true freshman year I think he’d have been a 4x champ. They were all so dominant this is really tough.
I don’t think Penn State would pursue Sanchez that hard. Howard has a lot of Penn State connections between his club coach and relationships with other guys on the team. Would think he’d be a Penn State lean.
Probably lose Desmond if it shakes out this way. He showed a lot of promise and was the only guy that beat Luke. A redshirt from Blaze gets Nate in the lineup and you figure things out the following season.
Was waiting for someone to go for a big move against Mitch. Not that it was likely to work but props to him for trying something different. Seemed to just piss Mitch off though.
