Wells to Oklahoma is a bit of a surprise. The 141 projected started is another minnesota kid, though. If they end up with Kellar, they can have some tough spots with Parker, Kellar, Beric Jordan, and Wells. Braun/141 has potential as well. McDougald is in the portal but hasn't yet picked a team to my knowledge, so there's a chance he might be staying

Good pick up for Schwab and Co. I was always fan of his since his high school days. He’ll do good things up there.
Sure they lose Parker but they will still be a very good dual team. They return almost all of their starters and replace realbuto now. Interesting to see how good Walrath ends up being. Their only real hole is heavyweight

They also lose Happel.

They’ll be decent.

125 - Anderson is solid. Blood round/R16-ish. Has some puzzling losses.

133 - Farber also solid. BR/R-16. Still amazed he beat Evan. Don’t think that would happen again.

141 - Should be Land. If he can stay healthy I do think he’s one of their best. Not sure if Farber or Land will be their 141 but I assume it’s those two one way or the other.

149 - Rathjen was a good pick up for them. Another BR/R16 type.

157 - Downey flashes mid-AA potential a lot but hasn’t broke through yet. I think he’s due to AA sooner than later.

165 - Not entirely sure who they go with here. Can Fox get down to 165 or is he too big?

174 - Simma is another BR/R16 guy who seems to get a bit better each year.

184 - personally think Walrath will be a stud and potential AA.

197 - Low AA/BR guy in Voelker. Whispers about heavyweight last year, be curious to see if that happens with their hole at heavy.

285 - no idea.

A really solid dual lineup full of blood round caliber guys. Undoubtedly taking a step back from a tournament scoring standpoint though.

Yes should’ve mentioned Happel that’s a big loss. They have depth with Carter freeman at 141. Wrestlestat says Jack Thomsen has a year left at 165. If he doesn’t come back Downey will be going 165. That John gunderson had some good freestyle wins a year or two ago what happened to him? Wonder if he could go 197 if voelker goes up or tank Runyon

Absolutely agree. Honestly this is a pretty even replacement from realbuto to Rathjen. I think walrath will be pretty good, I think he could have the same trajectory as voelker did. Also I had heard voelker may be going to HWT at some point.

Lots of people complain about no 220 or 225 weight class in college. But I actually think they should just move 197 up to like 205 or 210. 184 could go to 185-190 range. A lot of 197 guys cut hard.

If we have all of our horses in the lineup, we could very well beat them 8-2, heck 9-1.
