Not only does he train at Pinnacle but he trains with the Gopher Regional Training Center like 4x a week. He just had a picture of himself and Pat Smith training in the gopher room a day or two ago on Instagram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

North Carolina was mentioned when Stanford was closing program but not sure this time around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tier 1 Penn State, Iowa, Cornell, Michigan, Ohio State Tier 2 Nebraska, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, NC State, Arizona State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Iowa State Tiers 3 and 4 are very large and up for debate. Northwestern could be in tier 2 as well. These are purely my opinion and not based on statistics at all. Also 99% chance I missed someone who should be tier 2, please yell at me if you identify them.

Thank you. This is the positivity I needed today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the new rules pass I think they impact Nagao’s style of wrestling a lot. He’s still very good and will be in the championship mix soon at 133, but he’s going to need to adjust some things that he does well imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gopher coaches still meeting/talking with Nagao regularly and maintaining that relationship. My hopes are way too high that he comes back lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not just in the room, and not just Jamison. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah, well if that’s the case then the only issue is my reading and comprehension :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the riding time rule, who determines when a “turn is attempted”? Is one attempted turn good enough to get riding time the rest of the match? Who tracks when a turn is attempted? I have so many questions about this rule and feel like it makes being a ref/table worker even more complex. I appreciate what they’re going for though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not much gets by you, ionel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truth be told, I knew the when/why he’s leaving Minnesota, I don’t know where he’s going. But the why he’s leaving part leads be to believe he’s going somewhere more open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s gotta be Truax and/or Nagao, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think Spratley ever intends on being a 133. And he isn’t willing to consider sitting out this year. That’s partly why he’s leaving imo. So unless Ayala intends on sitting this year and moving up to 133 the next I think Iowa is a tough sell for him. But ya never know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless Ayala doesn’t plan on wrestling 125 this year, or any of the next 4, I don’t think he’s going to Iowa. Oklahoma or Oklahoma state are my bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Spratley enters the portal today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Gable’s ability to return last year or this year hinges more on his ability to get into grad school at the U than anything. Speculation though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gavin Nelson absolutely intends on going 197. HWT is a pretty big hole in MN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Torn ACL beginning of the season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure how I feel, to be honest. I really like Gavin Nelson and Max McEnelly at 84/97, along with the potential to add Hopke they could be a lethal trio. The retention of some of the top recruits in the low/mid weights leaves a lot to be desired though. Robideau on the horizon as an elite in-state recruit but he’s only a sophomore in high school. I am biased but I have high hopes for Vance Vombaur, Drew Roberts and Tagen Jamison in the 141-149 range. The key priorities right now - do all that you can to keep Nagao, Spratley, and land Hopke. Get 2 out of those 3 I’ll be happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hope you’re right, but all things I’m hearing indicating otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Troy Spratley will be in the portal soon. I hope not, very bad for Minnesota, but just from what I’m seeing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopke is in the gopher practice room 4x a week. Good buddies with Gavin Nelson and family. Hoping we can land him but can never count out Cael. Believe he’s considering Wisconsin heavily as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like Nebraska is an underrated potential destination for Truax. Would allow Pinto to go down to 174. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
