A nine person recruiting class ranked 20th in the nation. Sounds good. The class is also No. 10 in the B1G. Such is life in the best wrestling conference in the country.
Head Coach Scott Goodale begins his ninth year leading the Knights (14-7, B1G 2-7), and has steadily built the program into a solid eastern competitor. The Big Ten, of course, is another animal.
Strengths from last year
The team finished 2014-15 as the No. 21 team and graduated only one wrestler, Nick Visicaro at 165. But it brings back a wealth of talent, including 2015 All American Anthony Ashnault (141) and 2014 All American Anthony Perrotti (157).
