2025-2025 Transfer Portal Needs, Wants, Updates

Dresser just sent out a newsletter and had this to say. Sounds like we might have to hold tight throughout the month.

The other thing to remember is, the Transfer Portal works both ways. We have about a half dozen recruits coming in over the month of April who want to learn more about joining our team. I can’t talk about specifics yet, but I can assure you our roster will look a little bit different at the end of April -- like many Division 1 wrestling rosters.

"about a half dozen"....... so 5 ? lol

He also discussed everyone who has entered the portal so it sounds like he may think everyone else has committed to staying. His thoughts on everyone portaling are almost word for word what AE tweeted.
 
I know people were also commenting about the 30-man roster, and Dresser also mentioned that. " Per NCAA rules, our roster (like most others) is going to be limited next season to 30 guys." So we will see other guys going too, unless there is something creative with the RTC that can be figured out.
 
It'd be pretty damn funny if PSU brought in AJ Ferrari. That seems like one school that absolutely does not need him and not sure why Cael would take the risk. It makes sense for an Iowa State (or hell, even Iowa) to do it, but why would Cael disrupt the cog he has going

To hoard talent and piss people off, lol.

With Kerk gone, who is their HWT at the moment? Honest question. I really don’t know, and do think AJ can add the weight if necessary.

Assuming this is for tiered level donors etc?

Got to think coaches will get creative and have guys gray shirt and sit in the RTC. The top programs will also utilize their RTC for Olympic redshirt years. The kids who still want to be around the program could be cut from the roster but still enrolled in school and just used as practice partners within the RTC.
