Antonio Mills has had a really strong freestyle season, and has continued it with this Fargo run. He was ranked #14 at 126 in April and has moved up to #4. I'm curious to see if he can compete with Raney.

He’s a Mizzou recruit, after flipping from VTech. Between mills, Mendoza, Walker and Mauger I love the depth of our 125-141.

Antonio Mills had an incredible summer, cool to see him get a stop sign. Hoping to see him at S32 and I bet we do because he's already a southern kid

Mills made finals at S32 last year knocking off Joey Bachmann. 

lost in the finals to Christian Castillo who is now at ISU.

So it is safe to say OkSt had the best Fargo? I was impressed by Ziola who is committed to Nebraska. He looked pretty big. Does he go 197 at Nebraska I guess with Ferrari at 285lbs even though I think Ziola is bigger that he is. Nebraska could challenge PSU in a couple years? Wishful thinking but it is looking very appealing place to go for the #1 guys. Add Burroughs then boom!

All solid dudes, be interesting to see if one of them grows substantially to fill out 149.

Ziola is going to RS at Nebraska next season and will wrestle HWT from day 1 on campus.

I would say so, but Mizzou did have two incoming recruits win Jr Free championships in Mills and Gleason. Was hoping to see Mendoza, Rath and Bambinelli but no such luck.

Does anyone know the relationship between Jackson Thorn and the former gopher's Thorns? He goes to the same high school they went to, so I'm assuming he's a son/nephew of theirs?

Jackson is Mike Thorn's son. (Mike being the oldest of the Mike, David, and Tommy trio.)

Thank you. And I feel old.
