Bartelt seems mostly likely.. not sure what CJs chances would be at making that cut. 97 seems big for Tate. Nando and Hagerty are atill around.
I’m not convinced that Bartelt won’t be our starter at 184 eventually next year.

Yes he’s still recovering and loses valuable time this summer but he will be good once healthy.

Totally possible. I don't think anyone should assume Dean wins that wrestle off.

Went to look at penn states roster, and similar to what you said, there are 13 guys on their roster I've never even heard of before. That seems like a lot for a national powerhouse juggernaut with a small roster. Usually you know of most of the guys on the roster, that surprised me.


They have never been 3-4 deep at literally every spot. They have room guys like everyone else.

speaking of wants and needs.. guys I wish we could have in our rtc: Bryce Andonian, Ian Parker or Brayton Lee for our 49/57/65 guys. Nathan Tomasello or Seth Gross for our 125/133/141 guys. Hayden Zillmer or Trent Hillger for the big guys. More high level training partners in the rtc along with the best of the best, David Carr

Doubt we have the additional resources to bring one of those guys in let alone multiple.

“Literally” never said they were 3-4 deep at every weight, but typically you see a lot of names from the top programs in opens and as back up options in duals. Penn state being the top program, they get the headlines and top spot on TV. Just found it a little surprising I didn’t recognize a lot of names at all.

I think we saw last year that the portal never truly "closes"
It's basically just a legal contact period with coaches. After the portal closes guys can still enroll elsewhere but it's illegal if the coaches have contact. So they just use the athletes to communicate. NCAA athletes are free agents every year

Update on roster limits

It's a mess. Some athletes have already moved on and made plans for next year. NCAA could mess up a wet dream
