UNI will need to figure out what the plan is at 133, 157, 165, as Bisco sounds like he's headed to medical school and Holschlag and Yant are graduating.
125: Hopefully Gollhofer can take a step forward with a full season under his belt now. He was a highly ranked recruit if I remember correctly.
133: Land, maybe? He didn't have a great season, but that first year is always going to be tough unless you're simply on another level. Alabama may not be a wrestling state, but winning 5 state titles isn't something just anybody can do.
141: Happel seems like a guy who's going to be hungry to improve and get on the podium before he's done here. Not worried about him.
149: Realbuto is another guy like Happel who can make the bloodround if he gets just a little bit better.
157: Allard or Weston, maybe? Realbuto if he wants to move up?
165: Weston?
174: Really hope Runyon can get healthy. I think he's capable of winning a couple matches at the NCAA tournament if he can wrestle all season.
184: Keck
197: Voelker seems like he can step in and be a national qualifier
285: Nice 2022-2023 season for Gordon. Probably capable of making the bloodround with some improvement.
We lose 3 national qualifiers. Hopefully between Gollhofer improving and Land and/or Voelker being the real deal, we're able to end up in a similar situation at the NCAA tournament next year. I used to have some La Porte City connections who knew what was going on in the wrestling room but I don't anymore, so I don't know much about how the redshirts and backups look.
