I don't think they could guarantee that proactively, but that's likely the plan. Then you have a battle with Ryder and White in '27-28.

Merrill redshirted in '24-25.

Not interest technically, but you could get that return invested in the stock market. The problem is that most college kids are going to spend it and not invest.

Don't forget Haakon Peterson (likely 165). Undefeated 4X champ who didn't give up a takedown in his high school career. Pre-med valedictorian type and has a very college ready style.

Ummm, Greenland?

Nico Provo now in as well. Stanford

Every team waiting for that first domino to fall and open up the bidding. As soon as one sets the going rate, we'll see a flurry of action in the portal.

Bennett Tabor (Hwt) would start for a lot of teams. Split matches with Jim Mullen and Cade Ziola this year.

184 seems perfect for Max. There was even talk of him going 174 his true freshman year, since he walked around at about 190. Plus, he is pretty good buddies with Nelson at 197. I could see the Gophers bringing in Berge to compete with Nelson at 197 though.

Only 1-10 at NCAAs were automatically qualified to start with. Those 6 teams you mentioned and the 4 Ivy teams weren't automatically in until the Ivies dropped out. If they wanted in, they would have had to take place in the ping pong ball lottery like last year, and hope to be one of 6 teams drawn who finished between 11-20 at NCAAs. Since 4 of the teams between 11-20 are declining, no ping pong lottery is necessary, except for Penn State's spot if they decline. So, If Penn State and all the other top 16 teams accept, then the field is set (no lottery necessary). If Penn State declines, they will have to add one more team.

I'm not sure who has officially accepted or declined yet. The deadline to accept is later this month, I think. Coincidently this year the 17-20 finishers at NCAAs were all Ivy league schools and aren't participating. Therefore you have the top 16 as auto-qualifiers, and only need to pick one more team if PSU declines.

Chad Erickson, Brad Pike and LeRoy Vega all look moderately happy. They didn't get the memo not to smile.

He really changed the course of wrestling in the state of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Coach.

I just stumbled across the RAF live broadcast on Youtube. I thought it was only PPV on Fox Nation or something..

I feel that they got him too big, which hurt his mobility and gas tank. He should come back next year around 250.

If we only had some kind of clue as to who it will be.

We do get a lot of roof hail damage up here in the upper midwest, so this could be a profitable opportunity for him, and probably less painful than putting up with some of the fair-weather Badger fans.

He's so awkward.

Jax getting a Geico NIL deal now.

What's Trumble tip the scales at?

Trumble is raining sweat!

Way to go Max!!

But the timing of the announcers saying his sister was perfect.

Did Messenbrink throw in an anti drug message in that interview?
