We are not going to portal in a HWT to take Mullen's place. Two reasons
(1) There almost certainly isn't going to be a HWT available to us that is better.
(2) Jimmy is the quintessential teammate who is loved by everyone in the program.
A third reason is that Jimmy's ceiling is quite high. I don't know why but he took a step back this year. He isn't nearly as physical as the upper guys. With the right mindset and training, can he get there? He has the skills / athleticism to take a giant leap forward if he can get he can get stronger physically and get his mind to be more physical.

Cesar Alvin at 165 could be an interesting portal watch

Yes please. Tanelli reel him in. Would be a huge addition to the lineup.
