D1CW Ranks UB 2011 Recruiting Class #11

Three sets of recruiting rankings.. three top 15 finishes for the Bulls.  2011 has been a record breaking year for UB and this year's incoming recruiting class will only prepare them to shatter even more milestones.  D1CW is the final recruiting class ranking of the year, and UB just missed the top 10 with a #11 ranking.  See the excerpt about UB below...

11)   Buffalo

Top Recruits: (149) #47 Blake Roulo-Petersburg, VA; (174) #59 Jacob Waste-Apple Valley, MN; (165) #92 Justin Lozano-Clovis, CA; (184) Justin Heiserman-Dundee, MI; (125) Arik Robinson-Peru, NY

This is likely the most talented group of recruits that have even signed with Buffalo.  Blake Roulo was a 3x Virginia State Champion who became only the second wrestler to win the NHSCA Championship after each of his four high school seasons.  Justin Lozano could stake his claim of being one of the best wrestlers from the Class of 2011 not to win a State Championship in his high school career.  Minnesota State Champ Jake Waste has a long list of accomplishments in the international styles, including a Cadet Double Championship (Freestyle-Greco) in 2009.  Late signees Arik Robinson (4x NY State Champ) and Justin Heiserman (2x State Champ) bring this class from good for Buffalo to one of the best in the nation.
