Intermat Gives Bulls #13 Recruiting Class Ranking

The Bulls recruiting efforts have been recognized once again, this time by Intermat.  Intermat ranks the Bulls' incoming recruiting class at #13 in the nation.  This is the highest ranking ever for a recruiting class by Intermat.

The excerpt about UB is below and the entire article can be found here, but you must have a premium subscription to read anything other than their #1 ranking.

While the #13 ranking is another school best, I can't agree with the comment about the Bulls always being at the back of the MAC Conference after their 2011 performance.  Although unable to pull of the MAC team championship, UB had more champions (141 through 165 lbs.), place winners, and national qualifiers than anyone else in the conference this year.

13. Buffalo 

Top 100 Recruits: No. 51 Blake Roulo (Matoaca, Virginia), No. 77 Justin Lozano (Selma, California), No. 87 Jake Waste (Apple Valley, Minnesota), and No, 92 Arik Robinson (Peru, New York)

Additional Nationally-Ranked Recruit: Justin Heiserman (Dundee, Michigan)

Commentary: For a program normally towards the back of the MAC (Mid-American Conference) standings, this is an unexpected yet impressive recruiting class. The Bulls should be commended on their efforts, while Jim Beichner and staff hope that this group of wrestlers can help them make a step towards overall relevance as a program -- as well as compete with Central Michigan for supremacy in the MAC. Buffalo has not had an All-American since 2004 (Kyle Cerminara), and before that the drought goes back to 1991 (Dan Engles).
