Update - 5/13: Big Update to the Class of 2008 College List.  Added 13 new names including a pair of Shore-commitments to Centenary College in Hackettstown.  Mike Bonfig (Howell) and Chris Boyle (Manchester) will be wrestling for the Cyclones in 2009.  They join Shore-alum Ben Ostner (Freehold Boro), Dave Alsieux (Manasquan), Anthony Accardi (Manalapan), and Mike Polizois (Shore Regional) who are already with the program.

In some transfer news, Jeff Siciliano (Ocean Township - 2007) will be wrestling at Delaware Valley College next season.  Southern Regional's Dan Hall, Rob Hickman, and Greg Miele, Kyle Bilquist (TR South), John Barrett (Brick Memorial), and Anthony Cappiello (Wall) all wrestled for the Aggies in 2008.
