1) Iowa

Top Recruits: (184) #4 Mike Evans-Enola, PA, (157) #11 Nick Moore-Iowa City, IA, (141) #12 Josh Dziewa-Yardley, PA, (285) #19 Bobby Telford-Wilmington, DE, (141) #31 Jake Ballweg-Waverly, IA, (165) #74 Mike Kelly-Cedar Falls, IA, (149) #79 Anthony Baldosaro-Voorhes, NJ

How do you replace a senior class which included seven wrestlers who achieved All-American status over the course of their careers? You may not be able to, but Tom Brands and staff have certainly tried, signing seven wrestlers ranked in D1CW’s top-80 High School Seniors. Ballweg and Moore are both familiar names to Hawkeye fans, as both have brothers who are current Iowa wrestlers. Nick Moore lost just one time in his HS Career, on his way to becoming just the 19th wrestler to win 4 Iowa State Championships. This year’s Iowa recruiting class has a rare Eastern flavor, with National Prep Champ Mike Evans, PA State Champ Josh Dziewa, and 2x State Champs, Bobby Telford and Anthony Baldosaro.

2) Penn State

Top Recruits: (141) #2 Andrew Alton-Lock Haven, PA, (149) #8 Dylan Alton-Lock Haven, PA, (133) #34 Sam Sherlock-West Mifflin, PA, (133/141) #52 Hank Stinson-Voorhes, NJ, (165) #64 Dirk Cowburn-Coudersport, PA, (197) Nick Ruggear-Oxford, PA

Cael Sanderson’s first full recruiting class could be a memorable one. The Alton twins, Andrew and Dylan, combined to win five PA State Championships and four National Freestyle Titles at the Junior level. One or both could step into the PSU lineup next year, if needed. Either PA State Champ Sam Sherlock, or NJ State Champ Hank Stinson, could be called up to start immediately at 133. Late signee Nick Ruggear brings talent to the hard-to-fill 197lb class. Although Ruggear never made a state final, he has plenty of National credentials, winning NHSCA Freshmen and Sophomore’s prior to placing 5th at Sr. National’s.

3) Northwestern

Top Recruits: (184) #6 Lee Munster-Ingleside, ILL, (285) # 14 Mike McMullan-Easton, PA, #21 (141/149) Colin Shober-Reading, PA, (149) #47 Kaleb Friedley-Parkville, MO, (197) #73 Alex Polizzi-Beloit, WI, (165) Pierre Harger-Cincinnati, OH

After a year in which the Wildcats finished last in the Big Ten, plenty of young help is on the way. Northwestern was able to keep Illinois’ top high-schooler, Lee Munster a 3x State Champ, in-state. Munster recently won FILA Junior National Freestyle, defeating multiple current collegiate wrestlers. NU will also get the services of Mike McMullan, the top heavyweight in the nation. McMullan won his second National Prep Championship, in addition to titles at the Beast of the East and the Ironman. Three other Wildcat recruits Colin Shober, Kaleb Friedley, and Alex Polizzi all placed at Fargo in Junior Freestyle, as well as at the pre-season Super 32.

4) Cornell

Top Recruits: (141) #3 Chris Villalonga-Totowa, NJ, (157) #5 Marshall Peppelman-Harrisburg, PA, (157) #63 Jesse Shanaman-Basking Ridge, NJ, (197) #91 Billy George-Long Branch, NJ, (184) #101 Evan Knight-Des Moines, IA, (174) Matt Cunningham-Pittsburgh, PA

Cornell’s ranking is heavily reliant on the #3 and #5 overall recruits, Chris Villalonga and Marshall Peppelman, respectively. Villalonga has done it all, winning four National Prep titles, along with three Beast of the East and Ironman Championships. Peppelman is a four-time PA state finalist (winning three) who won three Beast of the East Titles, also. Both will likely find their way into the Big Red lineup next season. Adding upper-weight depth for Cornell is 2x Iowa State Champ Evan Knight, and NHSCA Junior /Senior National Champ Billy George.

5) Minnesota

Top Recruits: (149) #15 Dylan Ness-Bloomington, MN, (141) #20 Nick Dardanes-Fenwick, ILL, (184) #57 Tyler Lehmann-West Fargo, ND, (197) #78 Scott Schiller-West Fargo, ND, (133) #81 Chris Dardanes-Fenwick, ILL, (141) #137 Seth Lange-Sturgis, SD

After two seasons with D1CW’s top recruiting class, J Robinson and Co. check in this year at #5. Six future Gophers are ranked in the top 150 recruits, headed by Dylan Ness, little brother of this season’s NCAA Champion Jayson Ness. Speaking of brothers, the Dardanes twins (Nick and Chris), both Illinois State Champions, are aboard to man 133 and 141. The #78 recruit Scott Schiller was a late signee that will help bolster 197, a weight that has not always been kind to Minnesota.

6) Iowa State

Top Recruits: (125) #16 Ryak Finch-Safford, AZ, (157) #29 Joey Cozart-Brandon, FL, (174) #60 Michael Moreno-Urbandale, IA, (184) #65 Kyven Gadson-Waterloo, IA, (141) #98 Luke Goettl-Cottonwood, AZ, (165) #123 Mike England-Centreville, IA

Like rival Iowa, the Cyclones were hit hard by graduation in 2010 losing six starters. This group of six top 150 recruits may be pressed into duty sooner rather than later. Ryak Finch, the top 119lber in the nation, comes to Ames after winning Junior Freestyle and Greco-Roman titles last summer in Fargo. Three in-state prospects (Mike England, Michael Moreno, and Kyven Gadson) bring much needed help to the upper weights. Last but not least, is Four-Time Florida State Champ Joey Cozart, who spent his high school years wrestling for the legendary Brandon program.

7) Nebraska

Top Recruits: (133) #17 Keith Surber-O’Fallon, ILL, (165) #35 Robert Kokesh-Wagner, SD, (149) #58 Brandon Wilbourn-St. Peter, MO, (149) #90 Greg Amos-Wentzville, MO, (197) #133 Matt Dywer-Rockton, ILL, (157) #139 Dakota Magrew-Timberland, MO, (141) Blake Meeks-Des Moines, IA

The Cornhuskers recruiting class is headlined by Illinois State Champ Keith Surber who vaulted up the high school rankings after winning Sr. Nationals and defeating the then-#1 ranked 130lber at the Dream Team dual. Surber, however is not the only Sr. National Champion in this class. Missouri’s Brandon Wilbourn followed suit winning at 152lbs. Also placing at Sr. Nationals in a brutal 160lb weight class was 3x South Dakota State Champ Robert Kokesh (3rd), along with Illinois Champ Matt Dwyer (Runner-Up) and 2x Missouri Champ Dakota Magrew (5th).

8) Ohio State

Top Recruits: (125) #1 Logan Stieber-Monroeville, OH, (174) #39 Josh Demas-Westerville, OH

Transfer: (285) Tyrell Fortune-Parkrose, OR (Clackamas CC)

While the Buckeyes 2010 recruiting class is short on names, Coach Ryan is bringing in plenty of talent to Columbus. The top recruit of 2010 Logan Stieber makes this class rise up the charts. Stieber won four Ohio State Championships, a Junior National Freestyle Title after his sophomore year of high school and placed 4th at the World Team Trials in Freestyle last summer prior to his senior year. If needed to compete, Stieber can start for OSU in 2010-11 and win a ton of matches. The Buckeyes will also get an impact transfer in the form of 2009 JUCO National Champ Tyrell Fortune. The Oregon native Fortune spent last summer competing on the US Junior World Freestyle and Greco-Roman teams. Rounding out the class is 2x Ohio Champ Josh Demas, who will fit nicely into the OSU lineup after a redshirt.

9) Indiana

Top Recruits: (141) #24 Ryan Nieman-Bullock Creek, MI, (125) #50 Brandon Wright-Indianapolis, IN, (149) #66 Taylor Walsh-Cherry Hill, NJ, (125) #99 Joe Duca-Paulsboro, NJ, (125) #112 Zach Zimmer-Clovis, CA, (165) #117 Preston Keiffer-Voorhes, NJ

At first glance you can see the impact that assistant coach Joe Dubuque has had returning to Bloomington. Three of the Hoosiers top recruits are from his home state of New Jersey. 2x State Champ Taylor Walsh, State Champ Joe Duca and Runner-Up Preston Keiffer all call the Garden State home. Indiana’s top recruit is Michigan’s Ryan Nieman, a 3x Michigan State Champ and Sr. National Champ. The Hoosiers recruiting class may rank a couple of spots higher if they didn’t have so many 125-types. Replacing a 4x All-American and National Champ like Angel Escobedo is hard, but they will have to have a few of these top recruits sitting out, lessening their long-term impact.

10) Virginia Tech

Top Recruits: (133) #27 Devin Carter-Christiansburg, VA, (125) #40 Ty Mitch-Aurora, OH, (165) #94 Harrison Hightower-Hunting Valley, OH, (125) #102 TJ Mitchell-Suwanee, GA, (184) #116 Angelo Malvestuto-Sanborn, NY, (174) #141 Tanner Eitel-Dallas, TX

Like Indiana before them, the Hokies are loading up on lightweights. 3x Ohio State Champ and Junior Freestyle National Champ Ty Mitch comes to Blacksburg as a 125lber. Staying close to home is Devin Carter, a 3x Virginia State Champ and Junior Freestyle Runner-Up. Carter will come into the VT room as a 133, but could eventually see 141. The biggest need addressed by the Hokies is the signing of Bishop Lynch’s National Prep Champ, Tanner Eitel. In each of the past two seasons, the VT staff has been able to find Ohio wrestlers flew under the national radar (2009-Brian Stephens, 2008-Jesse Dong), is 3x State Champ Harrison Hightower next? Northern Illinois transfer Zach Neibert was considered one of the top twenty-five recruits in the country just one season ago.

Transfer: (141) Zach Neibert-St. Paris, OH (Northern Illinois)

11) Arizona State

Top Recruits: (133) #28 Louis Trujillo-Rio Rancho, NM, (141) #68 Nathan Hoffer-Wasilia, AK, (149) #83 Joel Smith-Lawrenceville, GA, (141 )#142 Shane McGough-Scottsdale, AZ, (197) Tommy Burriel-Clovis CA

Transfers: (149) Bubba Jenkins-Virginia Beach, VA (Penn State), (149) Luke Ashmore-Forney, TX (Oklahoma State), (197) Luke Macchiaroli-Tempe, AZ (Penn State)

After one season under Head Coach Shawn Charles, Arizona State looking like it will again be one of the powers out west. This recruiting class will certainly help, getting two of the best of the Southwest, 4X New Mexico Champ Louis Trujillo, and 3x Arizona Champ Shane McGough. Trujillo won the NHSCA grade-level championships after each of his first three years of high school. Four-time Alaska State Champ Nathan Hoffer can leave the “long johns” at home, no need from them in Tempe, but he does bring with him plenty of national-level credentials (Jr. National Champ, Sr. National 5th place). While he only has one season of eligibility left, 2008 NCAA Runner-Up Bubba Jenkins transfers in to work alongside his HS teammate Te Edwards. If happy and healthy, Jenkins will be an NCAA title contender.

12) Oklahoma

Top Recruits: (149) #56 Justin DeAngelis-Jenks, OK, (165) #67 Ronnie Balfour-Tulsa, OK, (174) #80 Parker Madl-Stilwell, KS, (197) #103 Quincy Mondaine-Muskogee, OK, (133) #127 Ian Fisher-Perry, OK, (285) Kyle Colling-Arcade, NY

Transfer: (157) Chase Nelson-Wichita, KS (Labette CC)

Things are looking up in Norman again as Jack Spates’ bunch placed 5th at NCAA’s in 2010. It will be tough duplicating the results of last season’s third ranked recruiting class. Three 2009 recruits, competing as true freshman qualified for the NCAA Championships, with one (Tyler Caldwell) earning All-American Honors. The Sooners did well for themselves in-state this season getting 3x State Champ Justin DeAngelis, 4x State Champ Ian Fisher, and one-time Champs Ronnie Balfour and Quincy Mondaine. Transferring in is 2010 JUCO National Champ Chase Nelson, a fourth place finisher this spring at University National Freestyle Championships. Nelson, a Kansas native, will be joined in Norman be fellow statesman and 2x State Champ Parker Madl. Parker finished 4th at Senior Nationals this season.

13) Maryland

Top Recruits: (285) #37 Spencer Myers-Selinsgrove, PA, (149) #54 Ben Dorsay-Virginia Beach, VA, (141) #61 Mark Hartenstine-Easton, PA, (133) #76 Frank Goodwin-Baltimore, MD

Transfer: (125) Shane Gentry-Stafford, VA (Navy Prep)

The Terps needed a big recruiting class this year, as the 2010 Senior Class was responsible for winning 2 ACC Championships and included three individuals who combined to earn All-American status six times. #37 Spencer Myers, arguably the top 215lber in the country, is an impressive heavyweight prospect who should benefit from taking a redshirt in 2011 and working with Head Coach Kerry McCoy before being unleashed on the ACC. 141lb recruit Easton, PA’s, Mark Hartenstine has plenty of National honors, despite never making a state final. Sound familiar? The outgoing starter at 141 Alex Krom, was from the same high school and did not make a state final, yet he was able to win 2 ACC Titles and was an All-American in 2009. Local product Frank Goodwin will likely have the opportunity to step into the Terps lineup for 2010-11. Finally, two Virginians will cross the Potomac River and wrestle for Maryland. 3x State Champ and Beast Winner Ben Dorsay, projects at 149 and 2010 NCWA Champ Shane Gentry will transfer in from the Navy Prep School.

14) Missouri

Top Recruits: (125) #36 Alan Waters-Kansas City, MO, (157) #53 Drake Houdashelt-O’Fallon, MO, (141) #96 Simon Kitzis-Kingston, PA, (149) #144 Chase Nitcher-Valley Center, KS, (197) John Eblen-Kansas City, MO, (125) Efrain Aguilar-Graham, Washington

Transfers: (157) Dan Gonsor-Cleveland, OH (Virginia), (184) Mike Larson-McKinleyville, CA (CSU-Bakersfield)

For the second consecutive season the Missouri Tigers check in at the #14 position. Heading up the class is 4X Missouri State Champ Alan Waters. Alan placed in both international styles in Fargo at the Junior level in 2008 and 2009. The Tigers had difficulty filling the 125lb weight class last season, so don’t be surprised to see Waters in the lineup to start the 2010-11 season. The middle of the lineup will be bolstered by the addition of 2x Missouri Champ Drake Houdashelt, as well as Virginia transfer Dan Gonsor. In 2010, his sophomore season, Gonsor placed 3rd in the ACC’s deepest weight class and qualified for his first NCAA Tournament. Late signee Chase Nitcher was a 2x Kansas State Champ, and hails from the same high school as the three McCormick brothers who have wrestled for Missouri. Cal-State Bakersfield transfer Mike Larson will be able to slide into the Tiger lineup nicely at 184.

15) Oklahoma State

Top Recruits: (149) #10 Josh Kindig-Auburn, PA , (133) #23 Nick Schenk-Wilmington, DE, (157) #106 Matt White-Woodward, OK

While not a huge class the Cowboys have still managed to pull in enough talent to warrant a top 15 ranking. #10 overall Josh Kindig won two Pennsylvania State Titles and was a Junior National Freestyle Runner-Up in each of the past two seasons. Spring signee Nick Schenk has a Delaware State Championship, a National Prep Championship and two Beast of the East Championships on his resume. Oklahoma State Champ Matt White is yet another nephew of Coach John Smith. White initially committed to Old Dominion in the fall, but now looks to stay close to home wrestling for OSU.

16) Illinois

Top Recruits: (157) #7 Jackson Morse-Lowell, MI, (133) #25 Jamie Clark-Lakewood, OH, (141) Jed Lightfoot-Yorkville, ILL

Similar to Oklahoma State above them, Illinois does not have a huge recruiting class reported as of yet. However, the recruits that have signed with Coach Jim Heffernan are of the highest quality. Jackson Morse won three Michigan State Titles, 2 Super 32 Titles and was victorious over Penn State recruit Dylan Alton in the postseason Dapper Dan. Jaime Clark is a 3x Ohio State Champ, who based on talent alone, may be vastly under ranked at #25. Clark has battled a variety of injuries during the last year which may raise the eyebrows of some. Although Jed Lightfoot did not win an Illinois state title, he did manage to place twice at the Junior National Freestyle level in Fargo.

17) Lehigh

Top Recruits: (133) #18 Frank Cagnina-Garfield, NJ, (141) #42 Stephen Dutton-Miller Place, NY, (149) #109 Anthony Salupo-Lakewood, OH

Lehigh’s top two recruits are in weight classes which need immediate help. Frank Cagnina and Stephen Dutton already project as starters at 133 and 141, respectively. Cagnina was a 3x New Jersey State Champ and spent most of his senior season as the nation’s top ranked 130 lber. Dutton won two New York State Titles. Both of these two wrestlers were finalists at the extremely tough Super 32 preseason tournament (Cagnina won; Dutton a Runner-Up). Also on the way to Bethlehem is St. Edward HS product Anthony Salupo. Anthony was an Ohio Runner-Up his senior season who earned All-American Honors at NHSCA Jr. Nationals.

18) Penn

Top Recruits: (285) #49 Kyle Cowan-Cascia, OK, (141) #72 Andrew Lenzi-Buchanan, NY, (174) #122 Canaan Bethea-Trenton, NJ, (165) #143 Brad Wukie-Hunting Valley, OH

After taking over as head coach late into the fall of 2008, this was the first full recruiting class for Coach Rob Eiter and staff. He will have plenty of talent to work with, the biggest is literally and figuratively 3x Oklahoma State Champ Kyle Cowan. Kyle wrestled 215lbs in high school and will likely have to bulk up to wrestle 285 for the Quakers. Andrew Lenzi was also a 3x State Finalist (2x Champ) in New York’s larger classification. New Jersey’s Canaan Bethea was not a State Champ, but he did place 5th at NHSCA Sr. Nationals, two years after placing 3rd at Sophomore’s.

19) Rutgers

Top Recruits: (165) #41 Nick Visicaro-Branchville, NJ, (149) #71 Jordan Beverly-Point Pleasant, NJ, (157) #77 Anthony Volpe-Miller Place, NY, (197) Mike Wagner-South Plainfield, NJ

Transfer: (149) Mario Mason-Moorestown, NJ(Minnesota)

The Scarlet Knights have continued to make an impact in the recruiting races under the tutelage of Scott Goodale. #41 Nick Visicaro is a 2x New Jersey State Champ, who also was a 5th place finisher at Senior Nationals and Beast of the East Runner-Up during his final high school season. In his first two recruiting campaigns, Coach Goodale has mainly signed top recruits from New Jersey. However, the addition of New York State Champ Anthony Volpe is a sign that the Rutgers recruiting territory is spreading. Jordan Beverly managed to win a Sr. National title despite never winning a New Jersey State Championship. Late transfer Mario Mason has decided to leave Minnesota and come back closer to home. Mason, just two seasons ago, was considered one of the top five recruits coming out of high school.

20) Northern Iowa

Top Recruits: (165) #33 Joe Latham-Bismarck, ND, (125) #44 Levi Wolfensperger-Denver-Tripoli, IA, (174) #135 Brock Weatherman-Ballard, IA, (149) Seth Noble-Mount Union, IA

New Head Coach Doug Schwab has a talented group of incoming recruits to work with. A pair of NHSCA Senior National Runner’s-Up, Joe Latham and Levi Wolfensperger, highlights the class. Wolfensperger was a four-time Iowa State Finalist (2x Champ) who also won the Junior National Tournament a season ago. Latham is a 2x North Dakota State Champ that earned All-American honors at Junior Nationals and the Super 32. Two other two-time Iowa State Champs round out the class nicely, Brock Weatherman and Seth Noble.

21) Edinboro

22) Michigan State

23) Binghamton

24) Virginia

25) Boise State

2009

1) Minnesota

Top Recruits: (165) Alec Ortiz-Newberg, OR, (133) David Thorn-St. Michael, MN, (197) Tony Nelson-Cambridge, MN, (157) Jake Deitchler-Anoka, MN, (133) Bart Reiter-Gilbertville, IA, (165) Kevin Steinhaus-Kerkoven, MN, (141) Pat Smith-Chaska, MN

Another year and another excellent class of recruits for Coach J Robinson. Minnesota took an early lead in the recruiting rankings, getting commitments from Alec Ortiz and David Thorn prior to the start of last summer, and never looked back. Bart Reiter, the younger brother of Gopher 3x All-American Mack Reiter, will add depth to the lower weights. A late signing of Senior National Champ Tony Nelson brings another talented, big man into a room full of them. The recommitment of US Greco-Roman Olympian Jake Deitchler gives the Gophers a 157lber who was ranked #9 overall in the Class of 2008.

2) Oklahoma State

Top Recruits: (125) Jon Morrison-Orland Park, ILL, (184) Chris Perry-Stillwater, OK, (165) Dallas Bailey-Catoosa, OK, (125) Ladd Rupp-Perry, OK, (184) Zach White-Woodward, OK

Transfer: (149) Albert White-Lynwood, ILL

In a year with a great crop of in-state talent, OSU was able to keep the best of Oklahoma at home. Chris Perry is most notable. Perry, nephew of John Smith is the bluest of blue-chip recruits, possibly the best senior at any weight. Dallas Bailey and Ladd Rupp are both 4x Oklahoma State Champions who chose to stay at home. Illinois natives Jon Morrison and Albert White are both former Junior National Freestyle Champions. White, a transfer from North Iowa Area CC, won a JUCO National Title as a true freshman before redshirting in 2008-09.

3) Oklahoma

Top Recruits: (133) Alex Ekstrom-Palmyra, NY, (165) Jake Kemerer-Greensburg, PA, (157) Matt Lester-Wildwood, MO, (149) Nick Lester-Wildwood, MO, (125) Jarrod Patterson-Cushing, OK, (174) Tyler Caldwell-Goddard, KS, (141) Joe Lospinoso-Kenilworth, NJ

After a few down seasons the Oklahoma Sooners have vaulted back into the top of the recruiting rankings. Pennsylvania's 2x State Champ Jake Kemerer finished the season as the nation's top 160lber. Coach Jack Spates got a two for one deal with the Lester twins, Nick and Matt. Each of the twins won a pair of Missouri State Titles and Matt, the heavier of the two won a Freestyle Title last summer in Fargo. If that was not enough, the Sooners will also get the services of 4x New York State Champ Alex Ekstrom. Late signings Tyler Caldwell and Joe Lospinoso, both Senior National All-Americans, help move OU up into the number three spot.

4) Nebraska

Top Recruits: (125) David Klingsheim-Brentwood, CA, (125) Kyle Waldo-Rockford, MI, (174) Caleb Kolb-Grove City, PA, (157) Cody Compton-Bonne Terre, MO, (141) CJ Napier-Columbus, KS, (165) Michael Klingensmith-Kearney, NE

In one weekend (Senior Nationals-April 5th), the Cornhuskers recruiting class went from very good to great. CJ Napier and Cody Compton both won championships and Caleb Kolb took fourth at possibly the most stacked weight class (171lbs). Napier's signing is a bit of a coup for Nebraska, as the 3x Kansas State Champ initially gave a verbal commitment to conference rival Oklahoma State. Coach Mark Manning was also able to shore up the 125lb weight class with David Klingsheim, a 2x California State Champ and Kyle Waldo, a 4x Michigan State Champ. One of the two could be starting for the Big Red in 2009-10.

5) Iowa

Top Recruits: (157) Derek St. John-Iowa City, IA, (125) Tony Ramos-Carol Stream, ILL, (149) Dylan Carew-Iowa City, IA, (174) Ethan Lofthouse-Hyrum, UT

Iowa was able to keep alive the hometown pipeline to Iowa City West High School with the signings of Derek St. John and Dylan Carew. Both are middleweight recruits who combined to win four Iowa State Championships. Also in the Hawkeye's Class of 2009 is a familar name, Ethan Lofthouse. His uncle Luke, is currently a 197lber on the Iowa roster. Ethan won the NHSCA Sophomore and Junior National Championships before finishing as the runner-up after his senior season. Four Utah State Titles were also scattered in between for Lofthouse. The final blue-chipper for Coach Tom Brands is Tony Ramos, a 4x Illinois State Finalist and 3x Champ. Ramos will be in the hunt to start as a true freshman at 125.

6) Virginia

Top Recruits: (149) Zach Clemente-Clifton Park, NY, (184) Jon Fausey-Dalmatia, PA, (141) Nick Gordon-Kingston, PA, (197) Jon Becker-Rahway, NJ, (133) Andrew Williams-York, VA

For the second time in three years Coach Steve Garland was able to nab a top recruit (Zach Clemente) from his home state of New York. Clemente was a 2x New York State Champ, Senior National Runner-Up, and 2x Junior Freestyle All-American at Fargo. One wrestler whose stock rose greatly, perhaps more than anyone else in the nation, over the course of the season was Pennsylvania's Jon Fausey. He split a pair of All-Star matches with #1 ranked Chris Perry of Oklahoma. Bringing depth to the Cavaliers lower weights with be 3x National Prep Runner-Up Nick Gordon.

7) Old Dominion

Top Recruits: (157) John Nicholson-Des Moines, IA, (133) Justin LaValle-Burnsville, MN, (174) Joey Sheridan-Tulsa, OK, (125) Eric Dunnet-Voorhes, NJ, (285) Jack Burbank-Virginia Beach, VA

Yet again, ODU Coach Steve Martin has proven that he can go into the backyards of traditional powerhouses and snag blue-chip recruits. John Nicholson, an Iowa State Champ and Senior National Runner-Up, is the younger brother of Monarch All-American James Nicholson. Justin LaValle and Joey Sheridan are two and three-time state champs respectively, who have earned All-American honors at freestyle in Fargo. Local product Jack Burbank, a 2x Virginia State Champion could start as a true freshman for ODU.

8) Penn State

Top Recruits: (157) David Taylor-St. Paris, OH, (174) Ed Ruth-Harrisburg, PA, (197) Luke Macchiaroli-Tempe, AZ

Transfer: (157) Cyler Sanderson-Heber City, Utah

Penn State's 2009 Class got a late boost with the addition of new Head Coach Cael Sanderson. Two of Sanderson's Iowa State recruits followed him to State College, one of which is the top senior at any weight, David Taylor. David was a double National Champ at Fargo at both the Cadet and Junior levels, the Dave Schultz Award Winner for 2009, and is the first wrestler to win four Walsh Ironman Championships. Although Taylor competed at 135lbs in his senior season, he is projected to wrestle in college at anywhere between 149 and 165. PSU has also signed another top five overall senior, Ed Ruth. Ruth finished his senior season by winning a National Prep Title and then winning Senior Nationals.

9) Virginia Tech

Top Recruits: (174) Andrew Clement-Chesapeake, VA, (149/157) Taylor Knapp-Suwanee, GA, (133) Eric Spjut-The Woodlands, TX, (149) Brian Stephens-St. Paris, OH, (285) Andrew Miller-Bassett, VA, (125) Cody Tyler-Kansas City, MO

After a season in which the Hokies starting lineup consisted of all Freshman and Sophomores, even more talent will enter the Virginia Tech wrestling program in 2009-10. Andrew Clement missed his junior season, but returned better than ever finishing 3rd at Senior Nationals. For the second consecutive season Coach Kevin Dresser reached into Ohio and Georgia (2008 Jesse Dong and Peter Yates) to get Ohio State Champ Brian Stephens and 3x Georgia State Champ Taylor Knapp. 3x Texas State Champ and NHSCA Sophomore/Junior All-American Eric Spjut will fight for a starting spot at 133 as a true freshman.

10) Cornell

Top Recruits: (141) Kyle Dake-Lansing, NY, (149) Craig Eifert-Mason, MI, (141) Mike Nevinger-Letchworth, NY, (285) Stryker Lane-Norwood, CO, (125) Tyler Biscaha-Jackson, NJ

The big recruit for the Big Red is Kyle Dake, the #4 overall recruit according to Intermat. In the past three seasons, Dake has won the NHSCA Senior, Junior, and Sophomore National Championships to go along with a pair of New York State Titles. Kyle's 2009 New York State Finals opponent, Mike Nevinger has also elected to attend Cornell. Nevinger won two NY State Championships as an underclassman. Colorado heavyweight Stryker Lane and Michigan's Craig Eifert are both 3x State Champs who will head to Ithaca to wrestle for Coach Rob Koll.

11) Ohio State

Top Recruits: (141) Collin Palmer-Lakewood, OH, (133) Ian Paddock-Warsaw, NY, (125) Jacob Vaughn-Columbus, OH, (174) Nick Heflin-Massilion, OH

The Buckeyes 2009 Class is led by a pair of multiple time State Champions, Collin Palmer and Ian Paddock. Collin is a 4x Ohio State Champ, and younger brother of current OSU All-American Lance Palmer. Paddock was a 4x New York State Finalist (3x Champ) and placed in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle at the Junior level in Fargo. Ohio State is in need of upperweight talent and Nick Heflin, an Ohio State Champ, will be able to help after a redshirt season. Depth is added by Jacob Vaughn, who has placed at the NHSCA Senior, Junior and Sophomore Tournaments despite never appearing in an Ohio State Final.

12) Michigan

Top Recruits: (133/141) Eric Grajales-Brandon, FL, (125) Sean Boyle-Lowell, MA, (165) Brandon Zeerip-Hesperia, MI

Michigan was able to sign one of 2009's top overall seniors, Brandon, FL's Eric Grajales. Eric, a Greco-Roman specialist, recently won a FILA Greco Championship. During his high school career, Grajales was a perfect 218-0 winning four Florida State Titles. Sean Boyle was a two-time National Prep Champ, two-time Beast of the East Champ and Senior National Champ. Boyle will likely start at 125 as a true freshman for the Wolverines. Brandon Zeerip, a 2x Michigan State Champ, joins his older brother Justin, the starter at 165 in 2009 for the Blue.

13) Purdue

Top Recruits: (157) Kendrick Sanders-South Dade, FL, (125) Camden Eppert-Anderson, IN, (125) Cashe Quiroga-Lawrence, IN, (141/149) Steven Sandefer-Mishawaka, IN

2009 was a second consecutive solid recruiting class for Coach Scott Hinkel. The Boilermakers were able to sign most of Indiana's best, including lower weights Camden Eppert and Cashe Quiroga. Both were 3x State Finalists, with Eppert winning two championships while Quiroga was able to finish as a Runner-Up at Senior Nationals. 2x State Champ Steven Sandefer will help bolster the middleweights. Purdue saved the best for last, going late into the spring before signing 3x Florida State Champ Kendrick Sanders. Kendrick was a Junior Greco-Roman National Champ at Fargo in 2008 and was also named to the Dapper Dan All-Star team after his Senior year.

14) Missouri

Top Recruits: (165) Zach Toal-Troy, OH, (157) Kellen Bounous-Monett, MO, (149) Kyle Bradley-St. Charles, MO, (133) Bradley Wisdom-Farmington, MO

The Missouri Tigers recruiting class boasts 3 3x State Champ, two in-state wrestlers and Zach Toal of Ohio. Toal may have been overlooked in national rankings because he competed in Ohio's smallest classification, but he proved he can compete with the best winning the Ironman in his senior season. The two other 3x'ers are Bradley Wisdom and Kellen Bounous. Both Wisdom and Bounous placed third at NHSCA Junior Nationals in 2008. Another Missouri product Kyle Bradley, was a Senior National 3rd placer, and earned All-American honors in both Freestyle and Greco at the Junior level. Despite all of his accolades, Bradley was never a State Champ.

15) Stanford

Top Recruits: (125) Ryan Mango-St. Louis, MO, (157) Kyle Meyer-Monett, MO, (141) Bret Baumbach-Council Bluffs, IA

This is an excellent recruiting class for Coach Jason Borrelli, especially considering the high academic standards of the school. Three recruits were among Intermat's top 100 seniors. One of the three, Kyle Meyer seemed to fly under the radar in regular season rankings, despite winning four Missouri State Titles. Meyer turned heads at Senior Nationals with a third place finish. Fellow Missouri native Ryan Mango signed with the Cardinal as well. Mango is highly decorated in the international styles and chose Stanford over the Northern Michigan Greco-Roman program. Spring signing Bret Baumbach was a three-time Iowa State Finalist and a double placer (Freestyle/Greco) at Fargo in 2008.

16) Wyoming

Top Recruits: (149) Jim Bellevue-Tumwater, WA, (125) Tyler Cox-Gillette, WY, (165) Patrick Martinez-Temecula, CA

A second big recruiting class in as many years has marked Wyoming as a recruiting power in the Western half of the country. The Cowboys two early signees, both 4x State Champions, are the strength of this class. Tyler Cox, one half of the four-time champs was also able to make the finals at Senior Nationals. Jim Belleville is the other four-time State Champ. He battled all the way to the Junior National Freestyle Finals in Fargo last summer. Patrick Martinez claimed a California State Title, winning each of his last three matches by one point decisions.

17) NC State

Top Recruits: (133/141) Dale Schull-Fort Lupton, CO, (285) Eloheim Palma-Cary, NC, (197) Andrew Tumlin-Harrison, OH

After the spring signing period, Darrion Caldwell was not the only National Champ for the Wolfpack. Dale Schull and Eloheim Palma both won Senior National Titles, then quickly signed with NC State Coach Carter Jordan. While Schull's National Title may have caught some by suprise, he did win three Colorado State Championships. Palma, younger brother of former ACC Champ Janior Palma, was near the top of the heavyweight rankings all season long. Early signee Andrew Tumlin was a four-time Ohio State placewinner and capped his high school career off with a state title. Tumlin and Palma are projected at weight classes where the Wolfpack need immediate help, therefore both could start as true freshman.

18) Boise State

Top Recruits: (165) Brock Gutches-Crater, OR, (184) Jake Swartz-Auburn, WA, (285) Toby Erickson-Helena, MT

The Broncos continue to sign some of the best in the West. This year is no exception, bringing in Jake Swartz, younger brother of 2008 Pac Ten Champions Kurt Swartz. Jake won three Washington State Titles and placed at both Junior Freestyle and Junior Greco while in Fargo. 2x Oregon State Champ Brock Gutches was lured after from the Pacific Northwest. Montana's Toby Erickson fills one of BSU's only needs, a young heavyweight. Erickson won three State Championships and placed seventh at Senior Nationals.

19) Lehigh

Top Recruits: (149) Joey Napoli-Mechanicsburg, PA, (184) Austin Meys-Shenendehowa, NY, (125) David Delle Torre-Oradell, NJ

Lehigh's class is small in numbers but big in talent. Joey Napoli will compete for the starting spot at 149. Napoli had the unfortunate distinction of being perhaps the best senior who did not win a State Title in 2009. Despite finishing as a Pennsylvania State Runner-Up, Napoli managed to rebound and won Senior Nationals. Austin Meys is a 3x New York State Champ will should be ready to contribute after a redshirt season. Late signee David Delle Torre, a New Jersey State Runner-Up, will help at 125, a weight which was problematic for the Mountain Hawks after the starter John McDonald was injured.

20) Wisconsin

Top Recruits: (174) Brendan Ard-Warren, NJ, (184/197) Derrick Borlie-Winchester, VA, (157) Kalvin York-New Glarus, WI

Wisconsin Head Coach Barry Davis used the 2009 recruiting class to strengthen the upperweights. Signee Derrick Borlie won two Virginia State Titles prior to winning Senior Nationals. Also on the way to Madison is 2x New Jersey State Champ Brendan Ard. Brendan also placed 5th at Senior Nationals in a rugged 171lb weight class. In-state recruit Kalvin York has won Championships in Fargo at the Junior Greco-Roman and Cadet Freestyle tournaments, despite never having won a Wisconsin State Championship.

21) Navy

22) West Virginia

23) Bucknell

24) Cal-State Fullerton

25) Central Michigan

2008

1) Minnesota

Top Recruits: (141) Matt Mincey-Apple Valley, MN, (149) Mario Mason-Moorestown, NJ, (157) Jake Deitchler-Ramsey, MN, (174) Cody Yohn-Alamosa, CO, (197) Ryland Geiger-Scappose, OR, (285) Atticus Disney-Shawnee Heights, KS.

Minnesota’s recruits combined to win a staggering 17 state championships and 3 prep national championships. The Gophers get two wrestlers ranked number one at their respective weight classes by Intermat, Deitchler and Geiger. Also two wrestlers (Mincey and Mason) who are ranked number two at their weight class.Add in Yohn and Disney at two weight classes where Minnesota has needs and you get the top class in the country.

2) Rutgers

Top Recruits: (125) Joe Langel-Howell, NJ, (133) Zac Coulas-Ocean, NJ, (149) Trevor Melde-Wayne, NJ, (157) Nick Menditto-Ocean, NJ, (157) Greg Zannetti-Edison, NJ, (165) Scott Winston-Jackson, NJ, (174/184) Dan Rinaldi-Lodi, NJ, (197) Jesse Boyden-Kenilworth, NJ

Transfer: (141) David Greenwald-Rutherford, NJ (Iowa Central CC), More???

Rutgers recruits accounted for NINE New Jersey State Titles and four runner-up finishes throughout their careers (remember NJ only has one state tournament). If that’s not impressive enough there are two Sr. National Champs, Winston and Langel. Winston is the only NJ wrestler to finish his high school career undefeated. It has taken less than a year for Coach Scott Goodale to turn Rutgers into a force to be reckoned with in the recruiting scene.

3) Central Michigan

Top Recruits: (125) Ben Sergent-Troy, OH, (125/133) Scott Sentes-Fort Myers, FL, (165) Eric Cubberly-Pemberville, OH, (174) Ben Bennett-Rockford, MI, (197) Marcel Dubose-Highland Park, MI

An impressive THREE Sr. National Champions have signed with CMU. Sentes, Bennett and Dubose all came away with titles in Virginia Beach, while Eric Cubberly came home with a third place finish, too. Coach Borrelli’s crew of freshman should all have the luxury of redshirting in 09, before being unleashed on the MAC.

4) Wisconsin

Top Recruits: (125) Tom Kelliher-Apple Valley, MN, (133) Tyler Graff-Loveland, CO, (149) Ben Jordan-St. Paris, OH, (157) Cole Schmitt-New Glarus, WI, (157/165) Andrew Howe-Hanover, IN, (174) Travis Rutt-Jackson Co., MN

The Badger’s class of 08 features three 3x champs from big-time wrestling states. Jordan, Schmitt and Howe are the three timers, while Colorado’s Graff is a four-time champ and ranked #2 in the nation. Wisconsin also was able to steal two solid prospects from Minnesota (Kelliher and Rutt).

5) Oklahoma State

Top Recruits: (133) Jordan Oliver-Easton, PA, (149) Jake Peck-Marlow, OK, (157/165) Alex Meade-Camden, DE, (157) Johnny Koepp-Dallas, TX, (197) Tyson Yoder-Weatherford, OK

Transfer: (125/133) Chris Notte-Palmyra, NJ (Nassau CC)

This class is headlined by two of the biggest blue-chipper’s of 2008, Jordan Oliver and Alex Meade. Both of these wrestler’s should thrive under the tutelage of Coach John Smith. Each could start as true freshman. Koepp is the latest Bishop Lynch product to make his way to Stillwater. Peck is yet another body in the OSU room to compete for the 149lbs position.

6) Iowa

Top Recruits: (125) Nate Moore-Iowa City, IA, (133) Matt McDonogh-Linn-Mar, IA, (141) Mark Ballweg-Shell Rock, IA, (174) Grant Gambrell-Iowa City, IA

Transfer: (157/165) Colby Covington-Springfield, OR (Iowa Central CC)

The Hawkeye’s took advantage of a very good crop of Iowa high school wrestlers. Two of the recruits, Moore and Gambrell ended the season ranked number one in the nation at their respective weight classes. Also coming aboard is 2007 NJCAA National Champ Colby Covington. He will attempt to fill in for departing 2x National Champ Mark Perry. The Hawks would find themselves higher on this list if their current lineup wasn’t filled with talented juniors-to-be. McDonogh, Ballweg, and Gambrell may not get to compete as redshirt freshman because of the upperclassmen above them.

7) Michigan

Top Recruits: (133) Zac Stevens-Monroe, MI, (141) Mark Weber-Goodrich, MI, (149) Coby Boyd-St. Paris, OH, (157) Jake Salazar-Heber City, UT, (174/184) Hunter Collins-Gilroy, CA, (197) Ben Apland-Downers South, ILL

The two Sr. National Runner-Up’s (Weber and Collins) highlight yet another impressive class in Ann Arbor. Two talented middleweights (Boyd and Salazar) will push for mat time in their freshman seasons. A couple late signee's could fill needs for the Wolverines. One of those is Apland who will help a Michigan team that has struggled recently at 197/285, and the other is Stevens who placed at Sr. National's and won a Michigan State Title as a senior.

8) Iowa State

Top Recruits: (125) Andrew Long-Creston, IA, (133) Anthony Valles-South Windsor, CT, (141) Matt Brown-Cyprus, UT, (174) Chris Spangler-Nequa Valley, ILL, (174) Cole Shafer-Heber City, UT, (285) Eric Thompson-Shell Rock, IA

Transfer: (165) Nate Carr Jr.-Jones Co, GA (Iowa Central), (174) Duke Burk-Peoria, ILL (Northern Illinois)

The instate bookend’s highlight another solid recruiting class for the Cyclones.Thompson finished the season as the top ranked heavyweight by every wrestling publication. A focal point of this recruiting season was 174, which could be solved immediately by 2x NCAA qualifier Duke Burk, and then in the future by either Spangler or Shafer.The wild card of this class is Valles. If he can stay healthy he will be a steal.

9) Illinois

Top Recruits: (125) BJ Futrell-Chicago, ILL, (149) Reece Taylor-Rock Island, ILL, (157) Conrad Polz-Orland Park, ILL (174/184) Jordan Blanton-Richmond, ILL, (285) Pat Walker-Lombard, ILL

Illinois’ best stayed in-state in 2008. Polz and Blanton both have the potential to be stars for Coach Mark Johnson, after combining to win six state titles in Illinois. Pat Walker was a late addition that will contribute at heavyweight after a redshirt season. Whether or not this is an excellent recruiting class could hinge on Futrell. He has the talent to be a successful D1 wrestler; the only question is whether he will be able to grow into a full sized 125lber.

10) Missouri

Top Recruits: (125) Nathan McCormick-Blue Valley, KS, (141) Nick Hucke-Arrowhead, WI, (157) Nick Gregoris-Chapel Hill, NC, (184) Brent Haynes-Oak Park, MO, (197) Jake Glore-St. Louis, MO

Transfer: (133) Todd Schavrien-Poway, CA (Arizona State)

Senior National runner-up Haynes and third-place finisher Hucke headline the Tiger’s class.Hucke hails from the same Wisconsin HS that produced the Askren brothers, where he won three state titles. Coach Smith has also made a habit of getting some spring signee’s that flew under the radar in the beginning of the season. This year’s group includes Sr. National All-Americans Gregoris and Glore. Finally, Schavrien will immediatley be able to step in and start at 133.

11) Old Dominion

Top Recruits: (141) Brennan Brumley-Warren, MI, (141) Craig Wilson-Farmington, MO, (165) Jared King-Chesapeake, VA, (184) Joe Budi-Kaukauna, WI, (197) Jake Kahnke-Prior Lake, MN, (285) David Wilson-Norfolk, VA

Transfer: (174) Eric Decker-Wells Bridge, NY (Virginia Tech)

Another star-studded recruiting class for ODU and Coach Steve Martin. Four Monarch recruits placed at the spring's Sr. National Tournament (Brumley 6th, Budi 3rd, Kahnke 7th, and Wilson 4th). That does not include 4x Missouri State Champ Craig Wilson. The only senior starter in 2008 was at 174 and transfer Eric Decker should fill that spot nicely. Decker was an NCAA qualifier in 2007, as a true freshman.

12) Ohio State

Top Recruits: (141) Caleb Messerall-Worthington, OH, (149) Tony Jameson-Austintown, OH, (184) Cody Magrum-Oak Harbor, OH, (285) John Hiles-Columbus, OH

Transfers: (174) David Rella-Cuyahoga Falls, OH (Penn State), (197/285) Cody Gardner-Christiansburg, VA (Virginia Tech)

The Buckeyes had merely a “very good” class up until the two transfers were announced. Rella will fill the largest hole in the OSU lineup at 174, while Gardner will attempt to wrestle at 197. 4x Ohio D1 State Champ Jameson is the most talented of the HS recruits. He is one of the most exciting wrestlers to watch, among the Class of 2008. Hiles is also a joins a talented young group of possible “heavyweights of the future”.

13) Wyoming

Top Recruits: (133) Jimmy Eggemeyer-Kodiak, AK, (149) Jared Hatley-Torrington, WY, (165) Eric Jones-Auburn, WA, (184) LJ Helbig-Mason, MI, (197) Alfonso Hernandez-Blackfoot, ID, (285) Jacob Scarborough-Weiser, ID

Most of the abovementioned teams are mainstays in the recruiting rankings; Wyoming crashes the party in 2008.The Cowboys are the only team in the nation with three Dave Schultz Awards winners among their recruits (Eggemeyer, Hatley, and Scarborough). Helbig was also an All-American at NHSCA Sr. Nationals (7th). Hatley and Jones were both All-American's in freestyle last season at the Junior level.

14) Boise State

Top Recruits: (125) Brian Owen-Spokane, WA, (141) Jason Chamberlain-Springville, UT, (165) Brad Sweet-Kapowsin, WA, (174) Randy Larson-Hermiston, OR

Transfer: (149) Nathaniel Holt-Provo, UT (Central Michigan)

The Bronco’s got two immediate starters coming in with the 2008 class. Chamberlain is one of the top recruits in the country and has won the following events/honors-Dave Schultz National Award, Fargo Jr. Freestyle, NHSCA Sr. Nationals, Dapper Dan and Utah state tournament 4x's. Owen came back from a serious injury in 2007 to finish second in Jr. Freestyle and will win matches out of the gate for BSU. The rest of the recruits may have to wait to start because of the young, talented lineup the Broncos return.

15) Nebraska

Top Recruits: (141) Aldon Isenberg-Edgerton, KS, (149) Jon Burns-Raleigh, NC, (184) Romero Cotton-Hutchinson, KS, (197) Josh Ihnen-Sheldon, IA

Nebraska got an early commitment from one of the years fastest rising prospects, Jon Burns. The NC resident burst onto the scene at the Ironman beating Minnesota recruit Mario Mason and Wisconsin recruit Ben Jordan. Also the Huskers got two of Kansas’ best, Isenberg and Cotton. Cotton was a 3x Kansas State Champ and a double Cadet champ at Fargo in 2006.Getting Ihnen, a 2x State Finalist, to leave Iowa is a steal.

16) Northwestern

Top Recruits:(141) Eric Galka-Hobart, IN, (157/165) Jason Welch-Walnut Creek, CA, (174) Brian Roddy-Lakewood, OH

Though not the biggest class, the Wildcats certainly deserve mention. They were able to nab Jason Welch, the top ranked wrestler in the nation according to Intermat. Welch joined the ranks of California’s all-time great HS wrestlers by winning three state titles while appearing in four finals. He also entered the Midlands tournament in 2007 and was able to finish in sixth place. Expect Welch somewhere in NU’s lineup in 2008. The other big time recruit for the Wildcats is Roddy, yet another import from St. Edward HS in Ohio.

17) Virginia

Top Recruits: (125) Joe Trause-Bergan, NJ, (133) Derek Valenti-Kittantiny, NJ, (149) Dan Clarke-Ramsey, NJ, (157) Jedd Moore-Marion Pleasant, OH, (197) Adam Cogar-Barberton, OH

This is the second consecutive strong recruiting class for Coach Steve Garland. Both Trause and Moore were two-time state champs from their respective states. Moore could be penciled in already for the Cavaliers 157lb slot in 2008-09. Two other recruits, Valenti (3rd) and Clarke (5th) placed at Sr. Nationals. Valenti, a NJ state champ, has the bloodlines, as his brother was a 2x NCAA Champ.

18) Oregon State

Top Recruits:(133) Caleb Vallotton-Foothill, CA, (149) Michael Mangrum-Auburn, WA, (184) Ty Vinson-Great Falls, MT, (285) Bubba Owens-Tillamook, OR

This is another class that is not very deep but has big-time star power. Each of these OSU recruits placed at last summer’s Freestyle/Greco tournament at Fargo. Mangrum won his second junior Freestyle title, two years after winning both titles at the Cadet level. Vinson and Owens were both 2x state champs in Montana and Oregon, respectively.

19) Purdue

Top Recruits:(125) Kegan Handlovic-Easton, PA, (141) Matt Bryan-Broken Arrow, OK, (149) Brennan Cosgrove-Hobart, IN, (149) Ryan Gambill-Casstown, OH, (174) Ethan Smith-Heber City, UT

Transfer:(133) Carson Beebe-Western Springs, ILL (Central Michigan)

A nice class for Scott Hinkel in his first full season as head coach at Purdue. Handlovic, Bryan, Gambill, and Smith combined to win nine state titles. Cosgrove, perhaps the biggest recruit of the bunch was an Indiana state champ and one of two Boilermaker recruits to earn All-American honors (6th) at Sr. Nationals (Smith's 4th Place was the other). Beebe, whose older brother Chase wrestled at Purdue, transfers in from Central Michigan and could be the starter at 133.

20) Kent State

Top Recruits:(125) Steve Mitcheff-Elyria, OH, (125) Troy Opfer-Sandusky, OH (141) Chase Skonieczny-Cuyahoga Falls, OH (157) Mallie Shuster-Big Spring, PA, (174) Kevin Witt-Oak Harbor, OH

Another very solid class for a Kent State program that is on the rise.The most notable recruit is Sr. National Champ, Skonieczny a 4x Ohio place winner and 2008 state champ.Witt, Shuster and Mitcheff were all state champ and place at their state tournaments at least three times each.

21) Virginia Tech

22) Cornell

23) Tennessee-Chattanooga

24) Ohio

25) Navy

2007

We bring you the third installment of the D1CW Recruiting Rewind. A look at a particular recruiting class five years after the wrestlers began their collegiate careers. This year's edition features the high school Class of 2007, a truly star-crossed bunch, at least in the top of the rankings. Only three of the top ten recruits from the Class of 2007 earned All-American honors in their collegiate careers, compared to 7 of 10 from 2005 (with 5 of them NCAA Champions) and 4 of 10 from 2006 (with one NCAA Champion).

That isn't to say there wasn't a large group of talented wrestlers in the Class of 2007, it is just that most of them came from further down in the rankings. Out of the top ten performers only one was ranked in the top 15 recruits back in 2007. So far (there are a few wrestlers with another year of eligibility remaining) five wrestlers from the Class of 2007 have combined to win five NCAA titles and nine wrestlers were at least three time All-Americans. The top wrestler from the Class of 2007, according to the D1CW recruiting rewind, is Michigan's Kellen Russell with 63 points. While other wrestlers were four time All-American's, Russell's 4 Big Ten Championships and 2 NCAA Titles gave him an edge. In the three season's studied by D1CW (2005-2007) Russell career ranks tied for fourth place with Troy Nickerson ('05) behind only Jake Varner ('05), Jayson Ness ('05) and Angel Escobedo ('05).

First lets take a look at the top 50 of Intermat's top 100 recruits from the Class of 2007.

2006

After a night of watching the NFL draft and weeks of being inundated by mock drafts and overall draft coverage, I present to you some of the closest things that DI wrestling has to offer; Recruiting! A second look at the recruiting rankings for the High School Class of 2006, and then a re-ranking of the wrestlers based on their performance on the mat. This is relevant because most of these wrestlers from this class have just exhausted their collegiate eligibility.

It is the second time that D1CW has presented a "Recruiting Rewind", last year we took a look at the Class of 2005. The Class of 2006 is a sharp contrast to 2005. The Class of 2005 featured sixteen wrestlers who were either 3 or 4-time All-American's, while the Class of 2006 had only eight. The Class of 2005 produced thirteen NCAA Champions while the Class of 2006 only has six. The top wrestler from the Class of 2005 was Jake Varner who accumulated 74 points. Varner and four other wrestlers earned more points than this year's top point scorer, Hodge Trophy winner Jordan Burroughs.

First, let's take a look at the top 50 of Intermat's top 100 recruits from the Class of 2006.

2005

When D1CW and other media outlets publish recruiting rankings, a common response by fans is "Yeah that's nice, now lets see how well they actually perform in college". Fair enough, D1CW has come up with a formula to evaluate the careers of the wrestlers and the rankings of the time.

Why the Class of 2005 you ask? With a few exceptions, all of the members of the High School Class of 2005 have now exhausted their collegiate eligibility yet their careers and legacies are still fresh on our minds. Also, the Class of 2005 had a certain aura about it, even before any of these wrestlers took the mats in college competition. The top three (Dustin Schlatter, Brent Metcalf, and Troy Nickerson) all won multiple championships in Freestyle at the Junior Level in Fargo, North Dakota. During their senior season's Schlatter and Metcalf split a pair of hard fought matches, only fueling the debate about who is truly the top 145lber in the country and possibly top recruit. A strong case could also be made for the five (yes five) time New York State Champ Troy Nickerson. There was also plenty of intrigue around the younger siblings of NCAA Legends Cael Sanderson and Greg Jones (Cyler and Greg, respectively).

First, let's take a look at the top 50 of Intermat's top 100 recruits for the Class of 2005. Note: Wrestlers are listed with the schools they originally signed with at their original weights.
