Swiderskis dad on the ISU forum said he will be bumping up to 157 - with the possibility of a redshirt year being used for him next year He couldn’t get out from the bottom at 141, will be even harder at 157.

I think that is due to technique rather than strength. He is a strong fella. I think he will figure out how to escape eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana-Hawk-Wrestling-Fan Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hunter Mays to Lehigh I was hoping he’d land at Rutgers because they are always of need in their middle weights. but great pickup for Lehigh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn’t really improved all season, got rode for minutes at NCAAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Swiderski focused more on weight management than improving. As high as I was on him I said from the get-go him wrestling 152/160 for his senior high school season then 141 for his college frosh season wasn't going to be fun. "I know actually nothing.

nhs67 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Truax to Penn State. Will wrestle 184 while Brooks moves up to 197. Just like 95% of us predicted. Someone put out a watch on @BlacknGold.

The rest are pure speculation ???? Lol what Gable gave up a year, Blockhus gave up a year, Chittum decommitted. Those aren’t speculation. It’s a coaches job to keep athletes on the team. He lost his best wrestler last year, two best this year, and his best recruit. That’s pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gable last year and Blockhus this year both graduated, so would need to enter a Masters program to wrestle at the U. Gable is considering wrestling next year and Blockhus would have stayed if needed, but the Gophers are high on Vance Vombaur, Tagen Jamison, and Drew Roberts to fill 141-149 next year. These 3 have all been slowed by injuries but have also each had big wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty terrible.Gable wanted to return last season, but contract dictated no. Blockhus has always had a dream to go into MMA. It’s a long journey and a short window. He put a lot of thought into his decision and the staff supported his decision to follow his dream. Blockhus has nothing but love for MN.
