Troy Spratley is off redshirt? News to me. Pretty sure he’s redshirting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Allred looked tiny next to Warner. That guy needs to be a 184. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is wrong with the bow and arrow? Lol I just think it’s lame to pile on the 1-2 guys that make predictions. Make more predictions! They’re fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree. Shouldn’t be able to crap on predictions without putting out your own. Pretty lame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a beat down… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol I’m sorry it’s not meant to upset anyone I’m just confused about the hype. Did he win some big offseason tournament I’m not aware of? Idk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Owen Pentz NDSU is capable of pinning anybody at anytime. Not sure if he’s a potential finalist, but if I was a high seed that had him in the quarters I’d be nervous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally I am surprised at all the buzz that Burwick’s transfer has received. He’s had one full season above .500 and that was his redshirt year where most of his wins came against D2, D3 or NAIA wrestlers. His most impressive win this year has got to be Jore Volk, who is a true freshman 125 that wrestled up. Before that, you could argue his highest ranked win in his college career was against his now-teammate Boo Dryden. Unless I am missing something huge, which is possible because I haven’t followed him closely just looking at wrestlestat, I don’t see him as a difference maker? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think he’s capable of getting to that tier yet. Lucky for him, 184 is one of those rare weights where the top 5-8 doesn’t have near as many Big-Ten wrestlers. If he’s able to take advantage of that and place high (I think he could place as high as 2nd) in the Big Tens, he could earn himself a favorable seed at NCAA’s. I want to see him wrestle Abe Assad, Finesilver, Romero, and Pinto again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brian Soldano is the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Serrano posted he was committing there on December 29th - Instagram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just want to say I think it’s great for the sport that we have more than one ranking service that is widely recognized, especially so that they have different methods of deciding on their rankings. It allows people to make their own interpretations while also having multiple reference points. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Minnesota has certainly unperformed, but I think part of the drop was them being ranked too highly in the first place. Brayton Lee being ranked as high as 1st while coming off a near-total reconstruction of his elbow, and Bergeland being ranked as high as 3rd after riding an incredible run at NCAA’s last year really inflated their team ranking. Ultimately, I don’t think they’ll finish as low as 19th, but if they outperform that it’ll be because some of their lesser known guys (Aaron Nagao, Isaiah Salazar in particular) make a bigger impact than expected in March. Also need Pat McKee to do Pat McKee things in a tournament setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am glad I did not have to ref that match. A lot of exchanges that were very close. Fortunately for fans, I imagine we’ll get to watch these two wrestle many more times in their college careers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nagao vs Foley has been crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After last night, the top spot at 141 is a fight between Hardy, Woods, and Alirez imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

184 incredible match. They will wrestle each other quite a bit me thinks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s pretty incredible the difference you get in McKee in a dual vs in a tournament. Either that weight cut is absolutely huge or he’s just not great at managing it at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Came down on his head pretty hard. Wouldn’t be surprised if he stays out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gophers Twitter account says McKee is starting it off and he’s the only 125 listed in the probables Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lewis also typically wrestles matches that (might) have one takedown. This one had three, one that tied it, and I think O’Reilly was in deep on at least one more shot in the first. Mekhi wrestles an entirely different style. Regardless, though, it won’t be close this year. O’Reilly doesn’t look like the same wrestler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I guess I consider it being tied until :03 left being close haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First match in the video Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re right, I shouldn’t say “always”. But it did last year at the dual, and then the next time they wrestled O’Reilly tore his ACL in the middle of what was a close match. They had a lot of fun exchanges last year. The match in 2018 and 2020 were not close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is going to come off as a super hot take that I’m hoping bares fruit, but Isaiah Salazar (184) is Minnesota best wrestler currently and I could see him placing as high as 2nd in big tens. We’ll see how dual season shakes out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
