Jordan Decatur petitioning for another year and into the portal.
"Back-to-back-to-back Ohio high school state champion (D-II)133-7 overall high school record...NHSCA freshman national champion...Two-time ‘Who’s #1’ (FloWrestling) event winner...Four-time Ironman placer...Three-time Fargo freestyle national champion... 2018 Cadet World Team member"
With Dean Peterson and Leo DeLuca onboard, I wonder if Cruz would care enough to transfer again to a place where he can start. He'd be an upgrade for most teams out there.
Carter Neves from Ohio State to Chattanooga for the first time from any wrestler since Rocky Jordan.
Gavin Brown from Ohio State to Purdue
Both now have a great chance to be a starter at their new program
I want to see Illinois pick him up and either he or Connell go 197. I'd like to see Illinois get Carter Young as well and let him eat meals again at 157.

285: Marinopolous / Slight chance of Luffman being granted another year
Doesn't really fit in this thread but Kurt Phipps is doing his masters in structural engineering at NC State - while noting that he is both:
1) Out of eligibility but
2) Totally down to help out with the program while he is there
Good on the young man.
At 149, they have three guys ahead of him (Jamison, Swiderski, Travis) with at least one of those guys being pressured to go up. And maybe another to go down. Either way, there is no starting spot for Young at OK St. (barring injury)
He's going to have much better training partners on the team: Spratley, Hughes, Sakamoto, McComas and then RBY and Fix at the RTC. I think the will challenge for a title at 133.
