Definitely a lot to like with this men's recruiting class not to mention Yared Kidane making his official Shocker debut after redshirting last year.
I really like how Coach Hetzendorf has reloaded his throws group which was not particularly strong last year plus I am assuming he will have Ridge Estes back who did not compete in the 2023-24 indoor season and only competed unattached in the discus in 1 outdoor meet last year. Not sure what was behind him sitting out last year but I'm thinking some kind of injury. If that's the case is he fully recovered?
Looks like the Shocks potentially could be very strong in the long jump and triple jump and they signed a strong high school high jumper to replace All-American Brady Palen.
In addition to helping out in the horizontal jumps Asher Buggs-Tipton appears capable of stepping right in an competing well against Josh and Jason Parrish in the hurdles in addition the Joseph Holthusen's younger brother Luke joining the hurdle group. Just in terms of airport presence Luke appears to be perhaps a little better/bigger athlete than Joseph but he will have to go some to match big bros grit and determination.
