Bloody Elbow's dirty dozen college wrestling rankings: #9 Oklahoma State
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/10/17/6988199/bloody-elbows-dirty-dozen-college-wrestling-rankings-9-oklahoma-state

I'm not quite sure what to make of Oklahoma State's wrestling team this year. The most decorated program in wrestling history enters the 2014-2015 season with more questions than answers.

I look at their roster and wonder to myself...
How will defending national champ Alex Dieringer do up a weight at 165?
• What about super recruit Chance Marsteller, will he be comfortable at 157 and is he ready for the grind of a Division I season?
• Eddie Klimara narrowly missed placing last year at 125, but then he got into, and out of, legal trouble, and his status going forward remains up in the air. Will he be back and in the lineup?

• Will major talents like Dean Heil at 133 and Jordan Rogers at 184 make good on their potential and blossom into the All American caliber wrestlers after inconsistent results last year?
• Will Anthony Collica be back at 141? Will he red shirt? Shouldn't he red shirt?
• Josh Kindig had a heck of an NCAA tournament last year, placing second, but should we expect a repeat performance in light of his erratic past?
• Austin Marsden is a very good heavyweight (and holy smokes he's gotten massive, I had no idea until standing next to him this past March). But with so many of the nation's top big men back, can we realistically expect him to improve much on his 8th place finish in 2014?
