I was listening to the CMU vs KSU match and heard Matt Miller say that Bardezbain struggled with making weight @ 125lbs after Christmas, which is why they burnt the redshirt on Jake Ferri and Suglio has taken the opportunity @ HWT & run with it after Devin Nye was injured.
Should be an interesting MAC Tournament for KSU with 2 weeks off and a lot of guys peaking at the end of the regular season. Ferri, Monico, Barriero, & McCracken will all get good experience at the tournament. Tutolo, Sparkman, & Conel should qualify for NCAA Tournament and Rooney, Bast, & Suglio have a chance, but it depends on which version of them shows up. The MAC Tournament is @ CMU.
Here is the link to the updated statistics for this years team:
http://kentstatesports.com/documents/201...=wrestling
Nick Henneman has had a great redshirt year @ 141lbs going 21-4 with 10 pins and Kody Komara went 12-3 in his redshirt year @ 149lbs.
Will Bardezbain @125lbs, Chance Driscoll @ 141lbs, & Stephen Suglio 197lbs/HWT are all 5th year seniors, so those are the 3 that Andrassy/staff lose off of this years team.
A ton of juniors/redshirt juniors, so hopefully Andrassy/staff are hitting on impact recruits (specifically 157lbs, 165lbs, & 197lbs) in this years class and have hit with Komara, Hinkson, and 1 of the HWT's in last years class. Tutolo, Sparkman, Bast, Conel, & Nye are all seniors/redshirt seniors next year.
Here is the link to the 4 recruits that signed with KSU in the early signing period:

1 @ 133/141lbs, 1 @ 165lbs, 1 @ 184lbs, & 1 @ 197lbs
3 of the recruits are from Ohio and the state tournament this year is March 8-10, so it will be interesting to see if any or all win state championships in their weight classes.

The other recruit is from PA and the state tournament this year is March 8-10, so it will be interesting to see if Tim Wallace wins a state championship @ 182lbs.
