It looks like Colin Dupil is 8-3 in college opens so far this year. I assume it's pretty hard to find top competition in Tennessee, so he's had to get creative. He's beaten a few D2 starters and D1 backups. I think it's safe to say that he's college ready.
I think my favorite thing about Roark as a prospect is that he was willing to test himself this past off-season. He had a fantastic Junior Duals, going undefeated in both styles, but then he went to elite 8 duals and took some beating at the hands of a lot of the best in the country. Not every stud wrestler from these less significant states gets the chance to bounce back from something like that and that's a quality that you need in college wrestling. He's dropping down to 120 for super 32 next weekend, we'll see how he responds.
Kid seems to love to compete, definitely a great sign

Greyson Clark from Wisconsin just reopened his recruitment for class of 2023. 3x state champion and ranked currently #14 at 132. Damion Hahn follows him on Twitter. Any chance SDSU has a shot at him?
I think there's a chance that he ends up in Brookings. His hometown has a lot in common with Brookings, it's not too far away, he fits well in the line-up, and I think SDSU might have more scholarship money than some other places. On the other side of things, we don't have a lot of history recruiting Wisconsin and it's hard to move away to a college where you don't know anyone. I think Minnesota might be the front runner for him. Brandvold over at the U recruits Wisconsin very well and they have a couple of wrestlers from his high school on their team. Northern Iowa and Missouri might be some other potential places where he could land.

I don't know a lot about him, but he seems like a fringe top-20 wrestler in his weight-class and you have to think that he has some real upside coming from a state like Tennessee. He also has a little brother who seems to be at a comparable level.
Brody Teske just entered the portal. This is his second transfer so I wonder if there isn't an academic or character issue, but he could be a major piece for the Jacks, especially if Meredith can't make 125 again. He's also an Iowa kid, so they should have a shot at getting him.
