I’m proud of us for going the Turtle route with the potential jokes here. I like to think we are growing as a community. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Hutmacher woke up tomorrow a Wisconsin Badger, THEN they’d be at the most hated schools in all of sports [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made the mistake of being too low on Gabe before the Oregon state match when he had Wittlake. I thought he’d put up a fight but lose a one TD match. Maybe I am underselling him again but I think the size difference would play an even bigger factor against Pinto who is a bulldog in his own right. This may be all for naught, however, since Arnold has expressed that going to 184 was a one time thing. I don’t see it happening but maybe for a tight dual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see Pinto as substantially better than Feldkamp tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pinto against Keckeisen in a finals match and wouldn’t be surprised if Feldkamp didn’t AA this year. Pinto does go upper body, yes, but I think he’s more difficult to get underneath and is much quicker on his feet. I also think he’s actually capable of leg attacks. Whereas Feldkamp if you can avoid being thrown (difficult) and can get past his head and hands to his legs, you’re probably going to win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t doubt he’s talented. But he doesn’t have nearly the wins to warrant any type of confidence in him over Caliendo. Who is an AA in a brutal weight class and looks to have jumped levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t see Arnold beating Pinto, but I also don’t Taylor coming close to Caliendo. I think it’s more likely a bonus point win for Caliendo than a win for Taylor. I also think Lovett gets bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This ^. I wish everyone would run the beginning of their season like Columbia has. Schedule the toughest you can find, and duck nobody. Their guys don’t have very good records right now but I am rooting for them to outperform those records come March. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He was the best today, he’s 1-1 with Mirasola this season. Also, doesn’t he intend on playing football as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was quite the sequence of events at 197. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not very good this year. Salazar should AA but also should’ve last year. Losing Nagao really hurt. McKee could do something in the circus that is 125 as he’s a tournament wrestler, but he looks so banged up. Blockhus probably reached his ceiling taking 8th last year and now he’s up a weight. Then you’ve got a bunch of inexperienced sophomores that can do who knows what, but haven’t done nearly enough to warrant being ranked higher than in the 20’s. I think 141 Vombaur, 149 Roberts, and HWT Tabor will be viewed in a better light by the time big tens rolls around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are very few if any recruits on Gable’s level. He won an Olympic gold while still in college lol. I think McEnelly and Hopke are both capable of winning a title some day though. But not Gables level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uhhhh 4 I believe. I think you missed the part where I was never arguing in favor of Eggum. I literally just gave you a list lol. I’m not a huge Eggum fan by any means. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You asked questions you already knew the answers to junior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Idk man it’s just the list you asked for. Do with it what you will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2016 Pfarr and Kroells 2017 Thorn Kroells Pfarr Lizak 2018 Lizak 2019 Skatzka Lizak McKee 2021 Brayton McKee 2022 Bergeland McKee 2023 Blockhus Nagao Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im not trying to argue for or against Eggum right now; but since 2016 theres been Lizak three times Brett Pfarr twice Mitch McKee (senior season stolen by Covid) Devin Skatzka (senior season stolen by Covid) Pat McKee twice Brayton Lee in his only NCAA tournament he got to wrestle Jake Bergeland 2022 Aaron Nagao 2023 Michael Blockhus 2023 I think every year since 2016 there’s been at least two per year. Averaging three I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rodent, you know that’s not true. He’s far from universally liked. That doesn’t make those people right, but there are definitely people that follow close that want him gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://gophersports.com/news/2024/1/5/wrestling-eggum-inks-contract-extension I have a lot of thoughts on this, but want to get other opinions before spewing my own. I can’t imagine this is going to be well received news by most of my fellow gopher fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was pretty funny watching Andrew Sparks wrestle Cook in 2023 after getting tossed and pinned off his own shot in 2022. Pretty much didn’t engage at all on their feet until OT, where he lost. He was terrified to even tie up with him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if some of the things you say are legit, you’ve lost all credibility by defending child predators. Get off this forum, and away from the wrestling community entirely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I imagine someone that committed recently, like DeLuca, already had a pretty good idea the Ferraris were going to be on board and what they were about. It probably won’t help potential recruits that are interested but not committed though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would love this very much for both him and the team. It’s entirely possible I’m being too pessimistic which has happened before. The way his year went last year was not encouraging though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He did avenge his loss to wells, but a win like the one he had is what you should expect against a true freshman. Just because he avenged it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I’m talking about impact come tournament time. I don’t think Cardinal is AA level at this time, and I’ve watched a looot of Derrick Cardinal since his Forest lake days. Really good wrestler, but I don’t see that level. Regardless though, my point of my original question was beyond Cardinal and more the team as a whole. How will they replace all those departures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s having a decent start to his season, but he only has two top 20ish wins again Farber and Zaccone, and has been tech’d/pinned by two true freshmen in Wells and Bouzakis. I think he’s still a long ways away from being the level of contributor that Carlson, Devos and Sloan are. And that’s the kind of contributor SDSU needs to keep finding.
