Refresh my memory, does the portal closing mean people in there have to decide by then? 

The portal closes tomorrow. Here's what I expect for tomorrow.
Jacori Teemer leaves
Carter Young leaves
Konner Doucet maybe enters
Nassir Bailey leaves
Big time wrestlers at small schools leave for the big leagues.
Get ready for a fun ride

I'm surprised too...
he might just be a greedy diva...but he's never seemed particularly attention seeking before so that seems hard to believe.

I cannot believe this one. An Amine wrestling anywhere other than Michigan will be very strange.

Kellyn did not cut any weight at 149 and had a hard time keeping his weight up. I don't think 157 is in the cards. 

I’ll take a shot at NDSU

125 Ryan Henningson, last years starter, non-qualifier
133 Michael Olson, true freshman from MN
141 Gavin Drexler, returning starter
149 Max Petersen, returning starter
157 Kellyn March, (NDSU could benefit a lot bumping up here)
165 Landon Johnson, returning starter 157
174 Brendan Howes, returning starter OR true freshman Magayna
184 Adam Cherne, returning starter
197 ??? Macray Klohs redshirt freshman maybe?
285 Northern Colorado transfer

All things considered, most of their starters return. They can be okay at 141-174 if things go right and guys develop. VERY young team last year. Obviously losing Sax was a huge blow. I think Olson at 133 is promising but won’t be an impact guy right out of the gate, same with Magayna. If they can redshirt, they should.

Since Vic Voinovich didn't really see the mat much this year, are we expecting for Iowa to hold on to him? It's probably for the better for him to leave depending on what Parco does.

Purdoma or Okladue? 

You can definitely see the mountains, but they're way in the distance.  I went to Greeley for D2 nationals one year, and I'd never been to Colorado, so I didn't realize the...geographical layout.  For anyone who's never been, it is exactly as The Duke insinuates; Colorado is basically flat everywhere except for that pesky mountain range.  It looks like:

Fly lost an avatar bet with me, and I couldn’t think of anything funnier than having him share the same avatar as Jimmy for 30 days so that’s what I went with lol

Gophers won’t be in on Raineys, Bassett or Forrest but Kellen Wolbert is the big name AWA kid in the class of 2026 and I know for a fact the gophers have a good shot at him.

If Burwick goes back home to NDSU, he will be the best wrestler on the team

That gives them four 'true' 165lbers, doesn't it?  Nachohouse, Carlson, Picklo and Sax.  They need an actual 174lber.

I also think Gaven Sax to Nebraska could make some sense.  With Taylor and Bubba back down, I think Sax is an upgrade from Brown Ton

I’m not biased or anything, but I’m picking McEnelly at U20 86kg, Nelson at 92kg, and Hopke at 125kg

At the risk of taking this off topic, am I the only one that can’t see polls when using the Tapatalk App on iPhone?

I report all Iowa fans on the grounds of being Iowa fans

My guess for his five or six
1) Missouri - because it was mentioned as a rumor
2) Michigan - $$$ and position of need
3) Nebraska - high profile program close to his home state of Kansas and also in need of a HWT
4) Minnesota - because its heavyweight U
5) North Carolina - because its a position of need and Koll is persuasive
 

If you bothered to read my posts on this site you'd understand that I post in earnest and am not a troll. 

Poorwrestler is usually pretty dialed into what is going on with the Gophers, and he says Minnesota 

Where is Hendrickson going? He is a "Do not contact" meaning he has already found a new home.

Hendrickson… gopher

Buffalo and North Dakota State both with double-digit outgoing transfers this year as well as double-digit net transfer deficit.  

I am a big fan of the avatar bet to avoid monetary transactions.  I'll make you an avatar bet if you agree which would go as follows:
1) Askey has already transferred which makes one of your predicted three. 
2) McGonagle, Fish, Hamiti, Delsignore, and Cardenas have already finalizes their decisions elsewhere
3) Flynn, Powe, Parco, Slavikouski are the other undecideds
4) I'll give you Clayton Whiting added to the group above to give you five possible guys - and I will reduce three to two.  
5) So if any of Flynn, Powe, Parco, Whiting or Slavikouski transfer to Minnesota, you choose my avatar for all 31 days of October 2024.  Likewise if all of them dont, I choose yours.  
 
No money risked- just pride and for the sake of entertainment.  What do you say
 
 
I hope I am wrong because I like the Gophers a lot
