As for wrestling, if you look at their individual weight class rankings, they do not give a lot of respect to Max Askren and Raymond Jordan, both of whom were top 5 wrestlers for most of the year last year, and both of whom are now in the 6-9 range. Come Nationals, those two guys will decide how far we really go. Max will likely see a bit more of the Tyler McCormick style of wrestling this year, getting rested when he can. Jordan simply needs to prove he can beat a guy from the Big 10, which is tough since they STILL have four of the top wrestlers in the class.

The recruiting class was very strong, and hopefully we will see the emergence of someone at 125 and 174....not sure how much of an impact the class will have this season, but it should be a pretty major impact either way in 2008-2009.
