Really? They only picked up Nagao, Messenbrink, Truax, and Kerkvliet?  I'm not missing any, am I?

Add in Kurt McHenry. Potentially half their line up is transfers.

Even if McHenry ends up starting they would have 2 fewer transfer starters than Iowa

Those 4 could realistically score ~65 points.

I don't think Iowa's transfers will score that many.

Michigan's transfers would probably be the contender, but I could be missing another team.

I believe that match has already been decided.  Wittlake is transferring.  Which makes it less likely that Plott intends to go up to 184.

If Wittlake goes 174, which looks to be the intention, why would he leave if Plott does intend to go 184lbs (assuming a goal of 86 KG for after the season/OTT), then it is curious why the split.

I, for one, am excited for Oregon State, which is going to be a deep dual team.

I didnt' see it.... I just posted it would be a good middle lineup. I74 is a logical fit for OSU and IMO his best weight.

Wittlake is leaving to do grad studies in his home state. He grew up a few hours away from Oregon State University. If I had to guess I'd say wrestling will be helping him pay for graduate school.
