125- Lizak
133-McKee
141- Thorn
149- Bleise
157-Short
165- Wanzak
174-Pfarr
184- Webster
197- Steveson
HWT- Striefel

Is this the lineup that we're looking at? Man, people say this year would be a down year but I see 9-10 qualifiers with up to possibly 7 AA (Lizak, McKee, Thorn, Bleise, Short, Wanzak, Steveson)

Side note : Yes I listed Steveson because he was in a meat grinder weight last year to possibly the weakest weight

That looks like a pretty solid line-up actually.

I like it...should help immediately and won't be any overlap with potential high school recruits. I also think Brolsma was more effective up at 157, before he cut down, so that might be another plus team-wise.

I like the lineup, but I hope they redshirt Webster so he would have 3 years wrestling with Gable. They should be building the team around Gable.

Aren't there any transfer/waiting period rules that apply to him?

Watched a few of Bleise's videos. He likes to jack people up and go for the throw. Could be some exciting matches. He had 3 close losses to NCAA runner-up Lavion Mayes last season, has beaten Topher Carton a couple times, and even had a win over Kevin Jack as a freshman.

I believe he got a full release and is available next year. At least that was my understanding when I heard this would happen. I'm glad this one came to fruition.

It sure sounds like he will be available immediately. I guess I don't understand why Northern Illinois would grant him a release. They aren't dropping wresting or changing the coaching staff and he isn't returning home.

Not complaining by any means, but I'm just not sure how transfers like that happen when the U of MN coaching staff can't actively recruit guys off other teams.

What would be the benefit of not outright releasing someone who didnt want to be there? Especially in todays social media age. The last thing any school wants is a PD3 situation where the entire wrestling community gets to listen to the athlete ranting on about the school. Sure it hurts the athlete but the schools recruiting is impacted as well.

In my opinion, best to just say see ya later and move on.

Once a kid asks for a release a form is sent to all universities in conferences outside of theirs so all big tens schools unless restricted to a certain one would of received notice and at that point they can contact.

Obvious to everyone that the only weight we did not qualify for NCAA was 149. Iowa and a bunch of schools contacted him. Guys from smaller programs realize that success opens up opportunitinities elsewhere and occasionally you will see them look at other options.

NIU gains little by not granting a release. Short term it probably keeps him around but long term hurts with future recruits. Seldom do you see guys asking for a release not get them.

Pfarr and Webster could be the other way around, but either way I like it!

I just think Pfarr looks so much better at 174. He's improving tremendously and I think he'll actually be ranked this season and will score some points at NCAA's

Releases happen all the time. It does no good to keep guys around. We released a couple last year.

I wonder how much starting time Stroker gets at Cornell. Especially with the rumors about his work habits.
