I'm particularly interested in these two for the Gophers:

174: Clayton Whiting vs. Ethan Riddle

285: Bennett Tabor vs. Koy Hopke

These were the two weights to watch in my mind as well.  174 seems to be truly open.  Whiting is better defensively and Riddle better offensively.  I think Hwt is Hopke's to lose, mainly because 4 years left vs. 1 year.  No common folkstyle opponents since Koy doesn't have a collegiate match yet, but he beat Jarrett Stoner, Mizz in freestyle who beat Tabor in folkstyle last season.  Koy also has a freestyle win over Nathan Taylor right after high school.

157?

I imagine he will go down if Jordan Williams is going 157. Unless there is an agreement to stay in a different weight class than his brother.

Minny fans have got to be looking for Hopke to take control of this battle.

If Hopke is 70% of the prospect, we all thought he was prior to the injury I do not think this is overly competitive.

Tabor was #23 on his senior big board and Hopke was #17 on his last one, so both pretty good prospects (3 years apart) who have both missed a season to injury.  I feel Hopke has better offensive potential and will win the spot if healthy.  If their early season results are similar, he probably still wins the spot based on years of eligibility remaining.  I feel Tabor would need a very convincing win or two to be the starter.

Thanks Gus. I just wasn't sure he could hold 149 especially after a year off. He was 152 in HS.

Thought he was sent on his way.  

I heard the same and that may be the case.   I usually look at Wrestlestat which still has him listed.

We should ask @Jimmy Cinnabon  Maybe Iowa kept JW, booted Spencer Lee and fired the Brands bros.  🙅‍♀️

Speculation on my part. He’s not very tall but he is thick.
