Guys leaving include Blockhus (IA), Spratley (NY), Kleuver (WI). Maybe they can offer Nagao a full out of state scholarship if he was otherwise unable to obtain that and get something going on the NIL front to bolster the offer
I'm really taken aback by how significant some of these changes are. I think they are almost all very good. But I am just surprised that so much progress is being attempted all at once. Not opposed to it - just didn't expect it.
I think Redding will be back up at 141. Swiderskis dad on the ISU forum said he will be bumping up to 157 - with the possibility of a redshirt year being used for him next year
