Great to see that Freshman Hunter Callahan got some action today and his play did not disapoint!
Like Litl commented, lots of underclassmen on this roster, Rola, Kobelt, Van Engelen, and Vick are Sophomores.
Callahan is a freshman, and Metka &Diaz are redshirting I suppose.
Match with TSUN on Sunday will be HUGE!
Wolverines will be motivated to knock off the 6 time reigning Big Ten Champions. They have a very strong #1 player in Evan King, but I believe after him they can not match the fire power in Scarlet and Gray.

:oh:

The first 6 titles were undisputed championships
and they also were accompanied by 6 consecutive championships in the Big Ten tournament.
Some consistent focused play lies ahead for the Scarlet and Gray this Sunday for the 2012 undisputed title, TSUN can salvage the wreckage of their program in decline with an upset!

A strong run next weekend will also be necessary for the OSU's 7th consecutive Big Ten tournament title.
