A poster said, 'Program is in Great shape heading into next season. Add a transfer or 2 and I think we are a Top 5/10 team. Jersey Mikes will be Buzzing all season in 2025 and can't wait till We have a Great NCAA Tournament across the Walt Whitman in Philadelphia!"
I don't know where the optimistic projection for next year is coming from. What is it based on? Scott pumps us up in September and October. Let's not move the timeline forward. If we get over optimistic now, we will really be disappointed next year.
Look at Flo's end of season ratings, the returning kids at all schools, the kids coming off grey and red shirts, and the top 1 and 2 high school freshmen entering college. Unless we get one or two high profile transfers and a true freshman surprises, we will finish around 20th again.
Flo projects us tied for 21st. They don't include kids coming off red and grey shirts and the new freshman. Some kids entering the mat next year include Ruiz who only lost to the national finalist in OT, McEnelly, a world bronze medalist with a 181 and 1 high school record, Gabe Arnold whose only loss this year was to the NCAA finalist, Trumble, the 2023 U23 world champion, and Alirez, the returning 2023 national champ. New freshmen include # 1 Lilledahl at 125. who has beaten nationally ranked college kids, Davino the # 1 kid at 133 whose beaten Davis of Penn State and ended his career with a 136-match winning streak, our friend Anthony Ferrari and Joe Sealey at 165, and other top ranked kids. We know Harer is very good and the #2 ranked at 157lb senior. He could start or spend the year as a redshirt. Is it realistic that he will become an All American as a true freshman?
I don't see us being a top 5/10 team as one poster thinks. We only made the top 10 once when Nick and Anthony won titles. This year the # 10 team scored 58 points. We scored 22.5 points. How does anyone believe we can increase our point total by over 152%? Look at the facts and help me understand. I want to learn what I am missing.
