NDSU picked up a commitment from Amantee Mills out of Georgia. He had been in on a visit a little over a month ago. I don't see him ranked on any 2023 lists. That makes a Georgia commit in each the 2023 and 2024 class, which is very interesting.
Dominick Serrano (133) and Nathan Haas (184) of Nebraska have both entered the transfer portal. Both were highly recruited out of high school and have struggled a bit. Interested to see if the BiZon would take a look at either (especially Haas) There are no HWTS in the portal to add to the room even as a depth play. Mora better stay healthy.
Bison fans are blessed. Enjoy it.
2 time Montana state champion Jesse Aarness will join the herd as a preferred walk on. Probably projects at 141

Adam Cherne from Wayzata commits. 4th place in state last year, 3rd at the recent MatBoss Open, projects at 184/197
NDSU picked up a commitment from Colby Runner out of Colorado. State champ last year and 2 x state finalist who wrestles 190.
With ND state tournament underway its no surprise future Bison Boeden Greenley (Lisbon) is in the finals and on cruise control. Browsing the brackets a few other names to keep an eye on for potential recruits are Koye Grebel (Valley City) at 138. He is a senior multiple time state champion. Not sure if he has college plans yet. A couple Juniors in LJ Araujo (Bismarck) at 160 and Coy Okeson (Minot Ryan) at 285. I have mentioned LJ before and I think its a long shot for NDSU as I feel he will look to go B1G. Okeson is a possible target though. He won the Rumble on the Red and looks good in the short time you see him wrestle. He faces AJ Heins (New Salem and future Bison football player) tonight in the finals. And then looking farther down the road sophmore Ben Deforest (Bismarck) at 120 as well as freshman Waylon Cressel (West Fargo) at 170 and Nic Enzminger (Bismarck Legacy) at 106 are a few to keep an eye on going forward.
NHSCAs were this past week and I only saw 2 Bison recruits in the competition, and both placed.
113 Amantee Mills was the champion
160 Boeden Greenley took 4th
