People are resilient and push envelopes and think of creative ways to respond to nonsense. If I was a head coach of a program that usually ran a bigger team than 30, I would try and get around the rule by having a larger group in practice and then there would be wrestle-offs or another form of assessment to determine which of that crew got to be officially listed on the roster. For those that couldn't make it the first time, stick around, keep practicing, and you'll get your shot again. They may just not be formally listed on the roster any longer

With Michael North moving on from college wrestling, Dario Lemus completing his redshirt and ready to start at 141, the younger brother Kal Miller is bumping from 141 to 157 while Ethen stays at 149. Separately David Szuba, heavyweight MAC champion last year is redshirting this year as a senior.

West Point has nearly 70 kids. Does this apply to the military academies?

Sacred Heart has 55 wrestlers currently on their roster. They are among the biggest teams that will need to be chopped down nearly in half

Also if Mesenbrink was so smart, shouldn't he have known the score in his own finals match? Or maybe he's better with the arts than sciences?

Dustin Plot has a 4.03 GPA

Northern Iowa probably another

Even with both having football and wrestling? I guess volleyball, field hockey, and something else I'm forgetting?

my great grandmother played college basketball for east stroudsburg back when guards weren't allowed to cross half-court. I guess they have a history of women's sports. thanks for sharing this list thought which paints a different picture than I realized. I still would like to see big programs adopt like Iowa has

In particular - where is Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan in this regard? I'd expect those schools to step up

real answer is https://iwcoa.net/hall-of-fame-2/herb-house/ if you were okay with being rude, we could say this:

Wrestling off-season is SLOW! This process of elimination gives at least one extra side show of distraction to follow. It's a creative approach to making a selection. It would be tiresome if everyone did this, but its a fun change of pace.

A trusted poster on Rutgers board says they are very close to hiring an assistant who was an AA from the Big Ten at an upper weight. Sounds like it could be Labs

so what was it?

you're probably right - I just missed it

Given the makeup of their current coaching staff, the Scarlett Knight fans over on their team forum seem to emphasize that the new candidate should meet a couple requirements: 1) It should be someone who has personally experienced division one wrestling excellence as a wrestler (not just as a coach) 2) It should be someone ideally who is an upper weight Given those asks, I've seen the name Kollin Moore thrown into the wish list. I would ask myself why not J'Den Cox who just left his shoes on the mat? And as a more under the radar option, maybe someone like Jordan Wood or even Greg Bulsak.

oops wrong OSU and too late to edit! Bob!!!

In some cases, I can see the LinkedIn profiles of guys that are in teal and they are employed in such a way that makes them seem like unlikely transfers back to college wrestling. As an example, Sydney Flores is employed by the US Space Force.

I love how there is a Sasso on each team and also - how VT recognized Sammy last year in their own arena in a pretty classy way

okay if you guys can bear with me, I have added a color coding to show 1) Wrestlers that entered the transfer portal, and were subsequently removed from their team's roster. They still have eligibility but are not currently a member of any team (in orange) 2) Wrestlers that entered the transfer portal, did not land with a team, and were subsequently removed from WrestleStat as if to indicate that they are done with college wrestling (in teal) Weight WS Rank Athlete 2024-25 Year Hometown Transferring From Transferring To 149 2 Kyle Parco Graduate Danville, CA

Right - I'm saying this off-season has been going against the recent trend of only outgoings and no significant incomings. Bockman and Lamont to me are the same category of guys who had already spent a significant amount of time at the school, earned their degree - and did grad school elsewhere.

I always liked Sidakov better than Dake so I get a kick out of it haha
