Portal

The portal opens tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what happens. There are some talented people who might not get any mat time. Freshmen coming in later this summer may also cause some to portal later. I didn't know that we see too many incoming targets. We're really at as point where there are few realistic portal targets that improve the team. Maybe we see some action in upper weights.
 
I'm curious what happens with Tagen Jamison. I know his family and I've heard he is really happy at Oklahoma State but, and this is my own speculation I haven't heard anything, the mat time might be a little squeezed.
 
That is a tough weight, 141/149. Jamison and Swiderski are both there and there's the possibility of Vega/Forest moving up, Raney coming in, and Hughes.
 
LRob is a career 57
I thought it looked this year like the only guys he struggled to compete with were the guys that had a significant length advantage over him. I assumed that he would stick to 157 since bumping up would only make that worse.
 
In addition to Thompson, Jersey Robb entered portal.

I think DT let's anyone go anytime they want. Look at how Carter Young and Travis transferred late. So there may be a few leave in fall.

Given the recruiting, I just can't see a spot for Jamison, Cael Hughes, Sam Smith, or McComas, even though they are pretty good (and some have a shot at being AAs).
 
I don't see us picking up anyone in portal, though I could be wrong

At 285, we have top recruit in nation. Maybe we pick up someone to allow him to redshirt, but really has to be top guy.

At 149, had 8th place guy coming back plus stud recruit coming in (plus chance Vega moves up).

At 184, have 8th place guy who competed injured, plus have guy coming in with big upside. Unless we get a top 4 guy (Sinclair from Mizz), why bother.

At 165 and 174, have Lockett who clearly can wrestle (maybe he was at wrong weight and should bump up to 174), plus redshirt Rutledge who I think is very good (who can go at 165 if Lockett bumps up) plus Facundo who is solid. Will be hard to grt someone who improves situation.
