Roster came out quite early this year. Metz and Midkiff are listed. No Austin Brenner though. Leaves Riley Habisch as the projected starter at 174.

Last season there were a number of commits that ended up not attending NDSU. Be interesting to see if all of these guys show up and if any are added. Top four weights currently have nobody coming in. Lack of quality depth could be an issue there.

Lack of depth in the top weights is a concern. For this season 125 and 133 are going to be interesting how they turn out. If habisch and Sax take a step this should be a fun season at least in duals.
I'm still surprised Metz is back. He's also in the early InterMat rankings.
What happened to Brenner? I think he was going to be a top 20 174 this year. If he is indeed gone, I think 174 could be our weakest weight.
Also, go look at the Intermat rankings. 141 is one of the shallowest weights I've ever seen and think Dylan a legit AA contender in it. It appears Carr is going to bump up to 165 too, which makes Franek an instant National Championship contender.
I have to believe that graduating and being injured probably caused Brenner to hang it up. Although Habisch isn’t much of a drop off it’s still a drop off
