His riding style and takedown defense got figured out. A little bit, he still made the blood round after losing first round. He went from a unanimous top 5 guy to a top 10ish guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

we’re all sick of being cold, I don’t blame them for that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Minnesota could really use a one year 125 and a one year 157. I hope we’re involved in this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I wasn’t necessarily implying transfers, just saying there’ll be some interesting lineups moving forward. They’re set up really nicely if one or two of those recruits don’t live up to their ranking or grow more than expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Between Gilcher, Adams, both Mantanona’s, and Cam Catrabone in 2024 it did always seem like Michigan was going to have too much of a log jam at 149-165. It’ll be even worse if Lemley can’t hold 141 but I’m sure he can for at least another year or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a little surprised Rylan Rogers has had trouble establishing himself. I liked him a lot in high school. Still time I suppose. Also, isn’t Joel Adams at Michigan or did I imagine that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing wrong with grad transfers if that’s what they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guessing he will get a medical shirt for last year. 7th year in college lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Obligatory Starocci lost to DJ Washington reply Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with this. I feel like him transferring has more to do with Reader likely leaving than anything. But I’m just speculating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is actually most likely scenario imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had hopes Hamiti would follow Hillger and LaMont over to Minneapolis but doesn’t sound like that will happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Logan Swensen is going to be a beast, but I feel like in high school he’s displayed a similar lack of offense that his brother has. I think that keeps him from being elite right away, but he’ll be really close to that eventually. I keep waiting for Cael to show some more explosiveness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the risk of opening myself up to huge amounts of ridicule, I will proudly proclaim that Keystone Light is my favorite beer, and this thread made me want one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mineo saying he’s hearing Hamiti to Michigan. That would probably be for 174 right? Their constant lineup turnover and turnover acquisition is exhausting lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah you’re probably right and I’m getting overzealous in pushing my agenda in hopes to somehow keep him for another year at 174 lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just telling you what I heard from someone pretty close to the situation. The cut wasn’t hard this year and they believe that 174 is an option. One thing I feel certain on is that he’s either gotta change weights or transfer, unfortunately if he wants to keep wrestling because like you said. McEnelly is special.

Wouldn’t the obvious answer at 174 for them then be Facundo? Hamiti isn’t bumping up and winning a title next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He really isn’t though. He was dwarfed by Plott and smaller than Rogotzke and Berge. From what I’ve heard, his cut to 184 isn’t that difficult and if he does return, they plan on approaching him about 174. He’s about the same size Devin Skatzka was his last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d bet on Josh Barr and Lucas Cochran at 184 and 197. Starocci will be back. Barr is too good to sit another year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Part of me wonders if Caliendo doesn’t go 157 next year with Franek gone. If he’s able, which wouldn’t shock me, that would be best case scenario for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s my take on Minnesotas lineup next year. This is without any portal additions or subtractions, but I have hope this will finally be the offseason that the portal works in our favor, for the first time since Michael Blockhus. 125 Brandon Morvari rFr 133 Tyler Wells So 141 Vance Vombaur rJr 149 Drew Roberts rJr 157 Blaine Brenner rJr down from 165 165 Andrew Sparks rSr or Hunter Lyden rSo 174 Max McEnelly rFr or Isaiah Salazar rSr 184 Max McEnelly rFr or Isaiah Salazar rSr 197 Gavin Nelson rFr 285 Bennet Tabor rSo or Koy Hopke Fr I think they will look to the portal for any weights 149-165. I could see Salazar being done with college wrestling after this year, but I think he sticks around and either he or McEnelly goes 174. They could also get a transfer 125, but I’d bet only short term as they love Morvari. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I know of Pat Kennedy, he would rather lose his left arm than wrestle for anyone other than Iowa. Even if he’s not starting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
