Finn Solomon from NC State to Pitt

They are overloaded with talent and will need to utilize unconventional redshirts to make it all work All after the talk was that John was done and the program may be looking to rebuild.

https://intermatwrestle.com/articles/26754 great summary by our host website here - intermat

weird it seems like Dom LaJoie is now headed to Stanford after initial reports indicated that he would spend his last year of eligibility as a Chippewa. His younger brother is at Stanford as well

Jamison is a great prospect. Nice get for OK St

Yeah I probably shouldn't have even shared his tweet to be honest

Sounds ridiculous to say but I believe it

Sure

You're looking at the wrong year

125: NQ if health is there but there is virtually zero chance of AA here 133: Will AA but won't win title (2nd-6th) 141: If Alirez uses an ORS, Bartlett could win the title. I'd give him even odds vs Woods 149: Van Ness is one of many impressive guys at the weight. Guaranteed AA but who knows what place. 157: Haines should be top three and may be title favorite 165: Tough weight class but they got a tougher wrestler. Mesenbrink is a lock for AA 174: Starocci if he wrestles is a title lock. If he doesn't, Facundo will be a NQ but not AA or R12 184: Truax top five 197: Brooks title favorite but third at worst 285: Same comment as Brooks

165 has seen a lot of prominent portal activity: 1) Shane Griffith from Stanford to Michigan 2) Mikey Caliendo from NDSU to...(Minnesota?) 3) Mitchell Mesenbrink from California Baptist to Penn State 4) Izzak Olejnik from Northern Illinois to Oklahoma State 5) Cael Carlson from Minnesota to...(NDSU?) 6) Jake Marsh from Princeton to Morgan State 7) Chance McLane from Oklahoma State to Arizona State

Howard - too injury prone Steen - too small Nasdeo and Davis are only true freshman - not sure what to expect from them McHenry gives them someone they can count on to be competitive on most nights

I think of him as the Bandwidth G

Some folks saying Pentz may also be gone. I hope Obe can hold on to some of these guys

Sounds like Caliendo may be headed to Minnesota with an NIL deal secured and Franek also entering the portal

Robbie Howard hasnt participated in a college match in several years. He was a good prospect a long time ago, but the only thing he has proven at Penn State is that he is very fragile and unreliable.

I'm excited to see how the Frost bit plays out with Ionel puns. Especially since I think they may end up hitting the portal eventually

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a finalist this year for 125. Last year, he had only one loss and it was to his legendary teammate Spencer Lee. The year prior, he was thrust into the starting lineup as a true freshman unexpectedly after Lee went down mid-season. His only losses were to guys who have been all-americans (McKee and Barnett) or guys who came pretty close (Camacho, Heinselman). Gutierriez is the only questionable loss and he was no slouch himself (and keep in mind, when they wrestled, Ayala was a true freshman in his first NCAAs where Gutierrez was in his sixth year of eligibility and a three time national qualifier. More than anything, the reason why I think he has a good chance is that his ability to pull off unlikely moves late in matches is something that sets him apart. He has a higher ceiling (and lower floor) than guys who have a similar level of expected return.
