Hokie ClubInterMat Wrestling, one of the top wrestling Web sites around, has released its final ranking for the 2008 signing classes with Virginia Tech coming in at 14th nationally. Here’s what the site had to say about Tech’s class:
“Kevin Dresser’s rebuilding job is still in the works. After starting as many as nine true or redshirt freshmen in the line-up last season, He’ll have another incoming class of wrestlers with loads of accolades, but still are under the proverbial radar. The best of the class is either Georgia’s Peter Yates, the Beast of the East Champ, or National Prep champion Brock Livorio of Kiski Prep in Pennsylvania. Jarrod Garnett of Delaware had his senior season slowed due to injury, but is still very good. Schuyler Swanton of Florida has some good credentials, while Ohio’s Jesse Dong is a kid who finds ways to win. Virginia’s Brian Wood shoots down 81 from the Roanoke area.â€
