Who knows, if we don't land a transfer maybe Logan can turn into our Drew Foster.

To understand the recruiting side a little better. What type of scholarship is it taking to land these out of state higher end wrestlers. In the old days, you didn't have much over a third or half scholly for anybody on the team. Are 3/4 or near full rides given out now currently? Do you use your roughly 2- 2.5 scholarships on average every year on about 2-3 top end guys and then fill with walk-on's or how are things done now?
I think a lot of it depends on other scholarships the athlete can get as well (whether those are academic or minority scholarships). I would guess the high end recruits are getting around .75 scholarship from wrestling and then the other .25 will come from random scholarships the university hands out.
I think you guys are underselling Parker. Remember, he beat Demas this year (who just placed 4th and looked great) along with Kaid Brock and others.
He is a lot like Alber of UNI. He is always in the fight, but sometimes falls short of the more athletic guys at the weight. He has a limited upside but is as tough as they come. He will be top 12 next year and I don't think Ryan is there just yet.

I get what you're saying. But if Parker beats Anderson after his redshirt year, then that means Parker is going to be TOUGH. Because Ryan is elite, elite.
Any idea if Todd Small can make 125? I thought he looked big even for 133, but if so I think he showed a lot of potential. Could push Mackall for the spot.
I went back and watched his matches on flo. I think he can get to 125. Especially after seeing how big some other guys are at the weight. He appeared to be taller than Alex so depending on what happens in the weight room during he
Is redshirt year I think he would be 125 or if he hits it hard 133.
The other thing I would add related to depth and competition is that Cory Cabanban quietly had a very good redshirt year at 125. He finished 23-7. Had some close matches with some pretty tough competition.
A few know, but dresser prefers to announce things himself so nobody will post stuff on message boards and keep true to dresser, especially if things fall through.
