Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

This may be trying to grab a JUCO or D2/3 guy with a year or so left to plug a hole and pray they can get close to .500. Unless there is a 33 that we feel confident that can move down.
I know grice wrestled off at 125 two years against meza at 125 I believe wonder if he would go down again
 
With this news, updated weight rankings for needs:
125
197
184
165
133

I am happy with who we have at 141, 149, 157, 174, Hwt. We’re probably fine at 133 and 165 as well, but I’d be fine with upgrades at those weights. 125, 197, and 184 are major needs
Guys who could've made the cut to 125: Meza, Grice, and maybe Pearson? Meza and Perryman are losing out on huge opportunities now to be the man. At the very least battle just 1 other guy for the spot and have some dual opportunities.

Jake knight still want to come to ISU and make the cut to 125? Witt from NDSU? Right now I'd say the only one will be Vandermark.

Also in a positive note about incoming freshman, a hidden gem is coming in for us is Jake Miller. That kid pretty tough and can continue to develop.
 
That would be a home run.
I wouldn't say that. He's good, but lost to the Nebraska kid at nationals and big10's both. Nebraska kid got majored by Provo and Dean Peterson at nationals. Smith would work and there aren't many options, but I wouldn't be expecting an AA contender there

That’s fair, and “home run” was relative to the current situation and getting someone with 3 years left.

He had wins over Sotelo, Volk, Moore. Feels like some potential from a freshman.
 
Hypothetical, because it most likely won't happen, but high school studs who could come in right away and go: Rocklin Zinkin okst commit, Mills ohio state commit, Munaretto ohio state commit, Mason Jakob is really good west virgina commit, Deputy nc state commit. Isaiah jones little rock commit isn't bad either.
