Geo Martinez was their best wrestler but he transferred last year to OSU. Fred Green had a good second half of the season and Jake Valarde had transferred from ODU are both solid wrestlers along with their only NCAA qualifier at 174, Austin Dewey. They were definitely rebuilding with Coach Mendoza just taking over last year.
I can honestly tell you that this announcement caught the coaches by surprise as well since just last week they signed a kid from MO for next fall and then 7 days later that kid is looking for a new home next season. Also their timing is horrible for most of their wrestlers since most programs have very few dollars left for signing anyone this time of the year.
