Purdue is going to look nearly identical to this year's squad. Hopefully they can bring in some transfers to plug some holes. Right now, the only guy leaving the starting lineup is Marcos Polancos at 149.
125 - Matt Ramos, once again should be an AA/possible national title threat.
133 - Dustin Norris, it will be his third year in the starting lineup. Hopefully he's healthy, I think his a qualifier last year if not for shoulder issues
141 - Greyson Clark, national qualifier as a true freshman back in the lineup, should be improved
149 - Jayden Reynolds, probably Reynolds as the starter, wouldn't mind a portal pickup here
157 - Joey Blaze, had a bad tournament, but an very good season for a true freshman at a tough middle weight. Should be an AA threat the rest of his career. Hopefully his brother joins him
165 - Stoney Buell, national qualifier as a sophomore, should be better as an upperclassman
174 - Brody Baumann, national qualifier as a redshirt freshman back in the lineup, should be improved
184 - James Rowley, highly regarded recruit, hopefully shows a lot of improvement. Still young for an upperweight
197 - Ben Vanandia, really want a portal pickup here. Heard he's lazy and shows disinterest in wrestling and Purdue could use an upgrade.
285 - Tristan Ruhlman, wouldn't mind a portal pickup here. I like Ruhlman, but he's not developing to the kind of guy you need manning heavyweight in the Big Ten. Maybe Hayden Copass can make a comeback, but I think he's medically retired from wrestling
Purdue could definitley use some portal help in spots. The problem is there's no one in the portal that would be a noticeable upgrade that Purdue could actually afford. And hopefully another year in the room gets these boys a lot better. Hopefully this young core works out.
