Cal Poly added to its 2010 recruiting class by receiving verbal commitments from three transfer athletes: Barrett Abel and Stephan Hampton of UC Davis, and Atticus Disney of Minnesota.
Abel, who will be entering his senior season, was the Pac-10 champion this past season at 149 pounds. He entered the NCAA Championships as the No. 10 seed, but dropped his first two matches and was eliminated. He finished the season with a 21-9 record.
Hampton began his redshirt freshman season as the starting 184-pounder for UC Davis and posted a season mark of 5-10.
Disney is a three-time Kansas state champion at heavyweight. He was ranked as the No. 11 heavyweight in the country by InterMat from the Class of 2008. Disney posted an 18-3 record as a redshirt during the 2008-09 season, but did not compete this past season for the Gophers.
