Will any more Penn State wrestlers enter the portal?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

6 non-starters are in the portal currently.

Will any of Braeden Davis, Levi Haines or Zach Ryder enter?

My take...no to Haines.  50% chance Ryder enters.  25% Davis enters (I think he redshirts).

I think Haines leaving would be more shocking than Rocco to PSU. I think Ryder thinks he can beat Rocco. Davis I have no clue. I think Nagao SHOULD enter, maybe one of the Mirasola's and maybe Sealey since that has been rumored.

Haines to OKST to fill their 174lb spot and link back up with his old K2 coach David Taylor, especially since a DT coached wrestler just beat him at NCAAs? I wouldn't bet on it, but stranger things have most certainly happened. 

I don't see Davis or Mirasolas transferring this year, and I like Ryder's chances of beating Welsh. Nagao should definitely transfer, and I think he'd do better somewhere closer to home (Stanford)? He and Tyler Knox can figure who wrestles where (133/141). Sealy should probably also transfer- if he did I think he has the potential to be a round of 12 guy next year.

One thing's for sure, that PSU room in going to be crowded!

I might buy the Haines transfer if he didn't have a redshirt available.

Here's more or less what the roster looks like right now, pulled from WS, currently at 35. Assume Welsh is in and Facundo, Steen, Kelly, and Friccione are gone. Who do you take for your 30 man roster cap? 

 

125	Lilledahl, Luke	SO
125	Desmond, Nathan	FR
133	Davis, Braeden	JR
133	Nagao, Aaron	RSJR
133	Garcia, Kyison	SO
133	Shindledecker, Karl	JR
133	Ono, Masanosuke	FR
141	Nasdeo, Cael	RSFR
141	Wang, Sean	SR
141	Perry, Dalton	FR
141	Cunningham, Hayden	RSFR
141	Blaze, Marcus	FR
149	Van Ness, Shayne	SR
149	Evans, David	SR
149	Pierce, Connor	JR
149	Weiss, Brock	RSFR
149	Rodriguez, Matt	JR
157	Kasak, Tyler	JR
157	Watson, Ty	RSFR
157	Sealey, Joseph	RSFR
165	Mesenbrink, Mitchell	JR
165	Dunbar, Aurelius	SR
165	Cunningham, Asher	FR
165	Duke, PJ	FR
174	Haines, Levi	SR
174	Beckett, Sam	JR
174	Gibson, Erik	SO
184	Ryder, Zack	RSFR
184	Welsh, Rocco	RSSO
184	Henckel, William	FR
197	Barr, Josh	SO
197	Cochran, Lucas	SR
197	Mirasola, Connor	RSFR
285	Mirasola, Cole	RSFR
285	Bundy, Dawson	RSFR

WS has 7 guys (Desmond, Ono, Perry, Blaze, ACunningham, Duke, and Henckel) listed as RS for next year, plus the 10 starters (Lilledahl, Davis, Nasdeo, SVN, Kasak, MM, Haines, Ryder, Barr, and ColMirasola) which puts the roster at 17. Add in Welsh, Nagao, HCunningham, Sealey, and ConMirasola and we're at 22. So there's a little bit of room for additional transfer-ins before the rest will have to transfer-out or leave the sport, unless they pull some roster hocus pocus with the RTC.
