until the season begins next November.
Even with its graduation losses, Penn
State has a surplus of stars. There are
more stud wrestlers than there are weight
classes, and while Sanderson is more than
earning his paycheck with the results he's
achieved since arriving in University Park
seven years ago, the job only grows more
complicated this year, as he and his sta=
er claiming them the
year before and is a candidate to move
back to 133. He wrestled there as a soph-

will join the competition this summer.
Mark Hall, the nation's top recruit in
the Class of 2016, just accomplished a

career. His latest came at 170, but while
165 appears to be an option at Penn State,
Hall has expressed interest in redshirting,
or even grayshirting, during his er starting the past two sea-
sons but will have to fend o= a surge of
competition in order to retain his spot.
Kellan Stout, a 2014 state champion from
Mt. Lebanon, Pa., could be a factor, while
Shakur Rasheed, who appeared at 165 this
season along with Morelli, is expected to
bulk up this coming season and could be
part of the mix at anywhere from 174 to
197.
The latter is the weight class of which
one of the biggest question marks surround
– and there are a lot of them, as Penn
State's lineup is as undecided as it has
been since Sanderson's arrival. But it's
not because there aren't enough options;
rather, too many.
