Northwestern - Lineup/ Recruits

[Mo]

I know very little about Northwestern so was wondering how their recruits; Kellogg, Battaglia and Benefiel will impact their lineup.

I am assuming they will all red shirt this year - is this probable?

I see this team improving greatly in a couple of years especially since Welch has commited to them.

For now its looks like all three will redshirt this season. It has been talked about having Benefiel fill in at 165 or 174. Battaglia and Kellogg will eventually become solid contributors. Benefiel is the guy who should be a multiple time AA and a title contender. It will be worth keeping an eye on how the upper weights play out. In addition to Welch the Wildcats have recieved a commitment from Brian Roddy. Both of those two will most likely wrestler 171 this year, as did Benefiel. Personally I would like to see them improve the lower weights now.
