  1. Cornell
  2. Iowa
  3. Penn State
  4. Ohio State
  5. Oklahoma State
  6. Oklahoma
  7. V-Tech
  8. Nebraska
  9. Michigan
  10. Virginia and UNC tied
1. Cornell's class is sick, they brought in 6 top 100 kids including 2 of the top 5 in Yianni Diakomihalis and Vito Arujau. Those are kids you expect to 4x AA and compete for titles. It was an important class as they lost Dean, Palacio, and Realbuto. You are talking about 9 AA's from those guys you lose.

Top 100 Recruits:
No. 3 Yianni Diakomihalis, NY (141)
No. 4 Vito Arujau, NY (133)
No. 54 Jake Brindley, FL (157/165)
No. 59 Seth Janney, PA (197/285)
No. 65 Andrew Berreyesa, NV (174/184)
No. 70 Brendan Furman, PA (285)


2. Iowa brings in 4 top 100 recruits, 2 top 10 kids in Spencer Lee and Jacob Warner. Spencer Lee when healthy is one of the 2 best hs wrestlers i've ever seen in person along with Kolat. He's a 3-time world champion and probably a career 125 pounder. Will be interesting to see if he Redshirts now coming off ACL injury or saves if as olympic redshirt.
Top 100 Recruits:
No. 2 Spencer Lee, PA (125)
No. 7 Jacob Warner, IL (197)
No. 44 Max Murin, PA (141)
No. 79 Aaron Costello, IA (285)


3. Penn State brings in 3 top 20 recruits, 2 of which Berge and Nick Lee are top 10 kids. Lee graduated early and has been in the room for awhile and i think he may step in for Jimmy Gulibon next year. When Verkleeren decommited from Iowa State i was hoping we would make a run at him.
Top 100 Recruits
No. 4 Nick Lee, IN (141)
No. 6 Brady Berge, MN (149/157)
No. 20 Jarod Verkleeren, PA (149)


4. Ohio State brought in 3 guys in the top 35 and it's really a perfect job by Ryan of managing the roster getting guys that would replace Martin, Jordan, and Snyder. Most people think that Romero will wrestle even better than his already high ranking now that he focus solely on wrestling, as he was a 2 sport star playing football as well. Singletary comes from renowned Blair Academy in Jersey and is in the mold of Snyder as a lighter more athletic hwt. I am a lot higher on Smith than most, he looked great in Pittsburgh in March and i has a much higher ceiling than i initially thought. He's originally from the same high school as Pletcher before he moved to Maryland.

No. 10 Chase Singletary, NJ (285)
No. 16 Kaleb Romero, OH (174/184)
No. 33 Ethan Smith, MD (174/184)


Transfer - Te’Shan Campbell, PA (165), Dayton Racer, IA (157/165)

Others: Zach Steiner, OH (174/184); Brakan Mead, OH (125); Ryan Ferro, OH (157); Jamar Williams, MD (174); Jamien Hood, OH (125/133)

5. Oklahoma state brought in 2 top 15 kids, including the #1 pound for pound in Dayton Fix. Fix is an animal and will wrestle anyone anywhere. He is wrestling the giant killer Austin DeSanto on May 17th at Beat the Steets in Times Square, should be an awesome match as both kids wrestle at an insane pace. Gfeller is a top 15 kid and almost an afterthought to Fix, but he shouldn't be as he has multiple AA potential as well.

Top 100 Recruits
No. 1 Daton Fix, OK (125/133)
No. 15 Kaden Gfeller, OK (149)
