Here's your weekly update on the Class of 2018 Big Boarders. We go around the country looking at their performances and updating you on their status.
Of the Top 100 recruits for the Class of 2018, only 11 are wrestling attached/starting. The rest are still in redshirt. A few (DJ Shannon, Joe Lee, Aaron Brooks, Michael Beard, Seth Nevills) aren't enrolling until fall of 2019 (i.e. - greyshirting).
You can find the 2018 Big Board here.
