What's it looking like at this point? They seem to be having some ups and downs. Garcia is looking great at 125 but a couple of returners are off to a slow start. Sigman wrestled unattached at UNI tourney last weekend - is he somehow trying to get another year of eligibility? We should get a better idea of how they're preparing this weekend when they go to the UNK open. Thoughts about the Lopers this year - Allgood is looking like he is serious.
