    Gray-shirting, last I heard.

    Nonsense

    Also, check out Landon Robideau, a Jr from Minnesota up at this weight. His last national appearance was at 138 at Super 32 (2nd place). He is looking very physical with the weight bump.

    If he can maintain his strength at 197 he could be a real problem. He looked good at the trials but that's 16 more pounds, with lots weigh-ins for college.

    John Hardy who was the club coach for Jamison and Spratley, wrestled for the Gophers for 2 or 3 seasons around 2000-2002, after transferring from Neosho CC. He was listed as a Senior in 2022 in the program and I don't remember him wrestling anywhere else after that, but he may have. I saw him at a lot of the home Gopher matches when the two were redshirting in 22-23. Jamison said in an interview that Hardy recommending Minnesota as how he found out about the program and decided to come here.

    Body language is a real thing. Watch any random tournament where you don't know anyone and try guessing winners just based on body language.

    Retherford and Lee have matching head wraps. Cute.

    Wow, Nate Jackson :25 second tech fall, pending review.
  10. MNRodent
    He didn't look nearly as good against Gross.
  11. MNRodent
    I heard he really struggles to maintain his weight, but don't remember exactly what he said, probably around 230.
  12. MNRodent
    He didn't even seem to have his normal 2nd period sweat going.

    Carrol is a bull, but he will be really sucked down if he does go 197 in college.

    Braxton Amos has to injury default while leading. It happened on an underarm spin and looked like it might have been a dislocated shoulder. Badger program can't catch a break.

    I was just thinking the same thing.

    I agree and think coaches look at these types of things more so than how teammates do against each other. Beating highly ranked guys is a big deal, not just in showing potential, but in making them more "seed-able" at NCAAs. Hawks may have secured the spot when he beat Salazar.

    I can't see Whiting wanting to wrestle a weight (174) that he hasn't been down to since 10th grade, for likely the rest of his career. I would think Wisconsin would offer him everything they can, with everyone they have lost in the upper weights.

    Hopke is in the perfect situation at Minnesota. He is already 240ish, he can redshirt and work on getting stronger, while drilling with Zillmer, Hilger, G. Nelson, Tabor, and Steveson once in awhile.

    Millard wrestled 157 last year, 160 as a Junior, and 152 as a sophomore, so he's not growing much. He isn't going to jump into the Big Ten and start at 174. He'll probably wrestle at 157 to start and maybe bulk up to 165 after a redshirt.
  20. MNRodent
    I don't think Fish would have transferred in for his final season if he wasn't given a strong indication that this was going to happen. With Thompson having a RS to use and Plott being a Senior, it seems like a no brainer.
  21. MNRodent
    Echemendia said he is moving up. I wonder if they redshirt both Swiderski and Chittum. I can't see any of that group up at 165.
  22. MNRodent
    Impossible. Ohio State doesn't engage in the portal.
  23. MNRodent
    Hall never gave any kind of public verbal to Minnesota. Kerkvliet did commit to MN very early, like 10th grade I think, but changed his mind when he outgrew 197 and Gable also committed.

    That room looks like the set of Squid Game.

    Shhh...Not as far as you know.
