Yup.The typical RU transfer regression is real.

Hmm that’s not true of the more recent transfers that started most have either done better or stayed the same.

I’ll say Bulsak and Yara improved to AA
I guess Moore, Seabass, Suriano were relatively same.

Feel free to name more. I can’t really recall many that noticeably regressed from their previous school.

Having Pinto ranked Top 10 at #10 is a reason for celebration? He hasn't shown us anything.

He’s always been a borderline top 10 guy at Nebraska from what I recall. Will occasionally pull out a big upset. Still think he can AA just not as confident as the start of the season.

Bulsak was here for one year. Yaraslav AA'd his first year, then regressed in the second year. I read something recently about Yara doing well while back training at Cornell. Truthfully, Yara AA'd by beating a superior wrestler - Bastida, who had just lost in the main draw. He had championship aspirations and went into the Yara match already defeated. Transfers that were strong coming in should continue. The question is will they after the first year? Poz, Soldano, and others have been stronger in their first year out of high school. That is why I want to se them wrestling as true freshmen and maybe redshirting later, if at all. Another case in point: how much improved will we see Conner Harer next season?

Yara had an injured shoulder all year last year. I would not call that regression.

Harer is looking pretty good in redshirt. Not just with the results but with his aggressiveness and improvement on the mat. He’s beat probably 3 guys who will be NQ this year. I see him as a NQ R16 guy atleast next season and see if he can building from that. If he stays at 157 for 5 years I think he AAs at some point

I looked up Moore, he had a decent year 17-8 but he had quite a hit list, beat 3 AAs and 4 wins total over AAs Composto, Matthews, Vombaur 2x plus R12 guy Chappell and Hines. Fair to say Rutgers got there moneys worth with Mitch

Teams refused to take bottom against Harer as a true freshman. There’s a respect factor there. He should have been a NQ last year but those bids have been unkind to Rutgers

Heilmann was a solid add as well. Boone was decent though his gas tank was low.

Heilman was solid but completely not needed if I’m remembering correctly it caused a logjam. Boone made big jumps at Rutgers but I was also glad when he transferred out bc he was frustrating to watch
