Wow, that is a terrible, terrible look for the staff. Dawson was brought in by Obe after the exodus and was one of the few guys that showed genuine progress throughout the year.

The freshmen they...

It's not like he was good, but he was very talented and just didn't develop. They already had no depth at the light weights and now their starter at 133 is gone.

That's two starters who have...

Fernando Baretto is in the portal. This program is in trouble

Spencer Mooberry to Northern Illinois. Ouch

That really, really sucks

I haven't see it anywhere as being official, but I've heard he'll be back.

Mason Gode has entered the portal too. Makes at least 8 that are moving on.

No longer see Zach Silvis on the roster...

Completely agree. Target the backups and young guys looking for opportunities. I'd love to see them take a shot on the 197 lb D3 national champ from Wartburg and Jacob Joyce from Stanford at 125....

Coming off a season in which the team finished 11th at B12s, only had two guys place at the conference tournament, and had only one NCAA qualifier, things are about as low as possible.

They badly...

Amantee Mills in the portal too. Another top 200 recruit from the 2023 class. This team was already perilously thin and the class they're bringing in doesn't look to have immediate impacts, so maybe...

Not great. Markell Rivera Cain, who was a top 150 kid in the 2023 class and a 197, never wrestled a match for NDSU after signing and hasn't been on the roster for a few weeks.

Zane Licht and Macray Klohs are both in the portal after their first year.

Licht was a top 100 prospect at one point, but fell off his senior year and then didn't show much his freshman year. I...

Franek winds up 8th after getting blown out by Peyton Robb. Still an All American, but a notable step back this year.

Caliendo gets 4th, so a notable improvement. Will very likely be a 4x AA.

Franek gets dominated by Shapiro, so he will wrestle for 7th.

Still an AA, but a decent step down from last year.

Caliendo will get somewhere anywhere from 3rd and 6th, which is an improvement

Caliendo with the first takedown vs Messenbrink in the national semifinals.

It'd be a real kick in the nuts if he makes the national finals

Sax wasn't competitive for the first two periods and it cost him.

Sucks to end that way, but what a great year and huge leap for him. I never would've imagined he would be a blood round guy and he...

Sax in on an extended single but can't finish.

Reset, and can't get to anything and loses 6-3.

SDSU has 4 Al Americans. I'm going to go puke

Sax with a takedown, now 5-3 in the third. Devos has RT

30 seconds to go

Really ugly first period for Sax and then he can't ride Devos at all.

4-0 early in the 2nd and Devos has a bunch of RT

SDSU on the verge of 4 AAs. I f*cking hate it

Early takedown for Devos.

Sax up now with All American status on the line

Franek wins 4-2 and is a two time All American.

Sax wins via 10-0 major decision.

He'll wrestle the #2 seed, SDSU's Cade Devos to become an All American.

They met two weeks ago in the B12 title match, with Devos winning via a close...

Incredible job of scrambling to get the opening takedown for Sax.

Sax will have the #27 seed, Danny Wask from Navy to get to the blood round. Great opportunity

Sax with a takedown in the final minute and he avenges his early season loss to 13 seed McCoy!

He has Anoka's #21 Seed Tyler Eischens or Navy's #27 Danny Wask next. The winner of that gets SDSUs...
