Nice win for SDSU. Hahn is a legitimate D1 coach. I never felt the current staff at Minnesota was going to raise the level of wrestling, and I'm not surprised to see Hahn finally pass them up.

Ouch.

SDSU with a really nice win. A few tightly contested matches that could easily have gone either way.

I'd call this a great win by SDSU... but I'd hold my horses on calling it any kind of pass them up gig.

I'm an SDSU guy, super hyped on the win, but I'll agree with a little perspective here.

SDSU's competed with them (and Nebraska) in the recent past. 

125 - Jory's probably the bettter wrestler here.....BUT.... Brady got him in a last second takedown, in less impressive fashion than his Winn Dixie against the MO kid. He won and that's what matters. Watched a bunch of Jory at Wyoming and I'm not too shocked. Roark's good.

133 - We're not too competitive with our backup here, although it remains to bee seen how much of a dropoff seaton is from our starter (i like seaton)

141 - Tagg's a legit AA threat. He's a better wrestler all day

149 - Our backup held, but lost. I'd like to have seen our MInn transfer wrestler, Martin, start here. I hope he gets his chance one day, but it's still a tossup.

157 - Swensen's first big match since his ACL and he won. He's the better wrestler when healthy so glad he won.

165- Rhodes may not wrestle this year, so Marcus will have to step up. Held center well, but Sparks should've scored better here.

174 - I want Moses to find his inner Patrick Kennedy (the undersized, all out pace guy) He beats Ethan Riddle in a close one. Is Whiting redshirting? 

184 - McEnnely - I've watched Max for a few years in MN wrestling. Absolutely rooting for him in the NCAA's. Fettig had no shot here

197 - Good to see Berge rideout a guy when he's going up a weight, but not much else happened here.

HWT - Anyone can beat Rasmussen, but there's only a few guys he can lose to. Welcome to SDSU wrestling.

@H82Lose  how about that Jackrabbit 125 pounder!?!

I watched it brother!!!! I messaged him and told him that he looked good. He stayed after Volk. I will be honest, I have never seen him celebrate in my life, and he sure did last night. I loved it. For the record, you guys looked good. That HWT match was fire too. Alek Martin out for the year? I think he got hurt against Ou's Hollingsworth? You guys have a lot of kids my kids have wrestled. Alek, Little Dupill, Tagg....speaking of Tagg, he looks GOOD, he might have found his mojo. That dude was nails in HighSchool.

I grew up wrestling with his older bro, Will. Great family. Salt of the earth people. Happy Brady is seeing the success I knew he could have. 

That whole family is gold! For the record, you are the salt of the earth too my friend! I can't wait to see the new batch of hammers you send out to these tourneys.

Roark is gritty and just finds ways to win! He's a gamer and doesn't back down. The Jacks came to wrestle last night. Impressive to knock off Minny without SDSU having 3 of the perceived starters from the beginning of the year (Cardinal 133, Martin 149, Rhodes 165). I have not heard an update on Martin so I am not certain the extent of the injury. I think Allen and Martin are pretty close in terms of upside anyway. That is a great win for Tagg! Hopefully consistency comes this year for him. He now holds wins over AA's Vombaur, Composto and Happel the last two seasons.

Hopke is growing into his body but not the way I was anticipating. He needs to lean out the pudge if he wants to compete at the level he is capable of. And for the record (again), I think his ceiling is multiple titles and world teams if he makes The Leap.
