0 seniors on the roster
Only 5 juniors return
No NCAA qualifiers return
Conel (197 NCAA qualifier) is not on the roster. According to Twitter, he's done with wrestling
19 freshman (true or RS)
7 sophomores

The composition of the roster is as such because Coach Moore was the primary recruiter and his last 2 recruiting classes (sophomores and juniors) were not particularly strong. Coach Hill brought in some serious talent but they are young. We will take our lumps this year due to the youth movement. Without the opportunity to wrestle right away, however, some of the recruits may have gone elsewhere. With our schedule, I hope they're fast learners!

Losing Conel really hurts. He looked like AA material based on his freshman performance.
