Questions for Coach Robie
1. I wouldn't mind a sneak peak into how he and the staff plan to manage next years roster specifically focusing on 133, 184, and 285.
1a. With Nathan Traxler leaving and assuming Hunter Catka is ready to assume the heavy weight starting spot who will back him up at heavyweight? Will we target a transfer?
1b. With Hunter Bolen departing at 184 will we see Thomas Stewart start at true freshman or is it even physically possible to see Dakota Howard at 184?
1c. Will Sam Latona move to 133? If so, who will start at 125, Eddie Ventresca?. If, not could we see Tom Crook at 133 provided he can get down to 133.
2. Hokie Nation wants to see Dakota Howard experience sustained success. The junkyard dog is a fan favorite. What will it take for him to get to the NCAAs at 197 or does Andy Smith have a legitimate shot at 197 next season?
