Team mate Tyler Eischens, 174 also

Interesting... didn't even think of that one.

I think Redding will be back up at 141.  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

Expand  

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

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!

Hopefully, but you would have thought working out with Metcalf every day that he would have learned technique?? He hadn’t really improved all season, got rode for minutes at NCAAs.

If they institute a 3 point takedown then he doesn't have to choose bottom.

[nhs67]

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.

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.  He might need some help...

If I were Bernie Truax I would go to Iowa with AJ Ferrari and Ben Keuter. Aaron Brooks isn't sure what weight he's going so I would avoid that. You asked...

Actually I didn't ask you and I am pretty sure nobody did.... It was a statement of your own accord, choosing Brands and the Ferrari's over Cael, Starocci and Brooks. But hey, maybe now you can live a little bit more in reality.

He's an idiot.  Fortunately he can't pull a Minnow and delete it all.

As an aside, Spey is a dipshit and seems to be well out of touch.

Perhaps BnG is Spey?

Outside of Nagao maybe leaving, who else is transferring out of Minnesota? The rest are pure speculation 

Expand  

???? 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.

I didn’t say anything about NIL. It’s a coaches job to keep good wrestlers on the team and keep recruits committed. At least half of the wrestlers that left the Gophers had nothing to do with NIL.

I heard it continues to be a real bad winter in Gopher country.  Young people worried about climate change should be expected to seek warmer climes... especially if they hail from CA.

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.

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.

Regarding Chittum, we were hearing he was losing to Tagen Jamison in the room and the gap was widening

Not just in the room, and not just Jamison.
