Possibly, but I doubt it. Tabor is considerably larger (~40 lbs heavier than last year) and I think will have a good year.

Nelson and Nagel scored only an escape each against each other, if I remember correctly. Salazar scored an escape, a takedown and ride out against Nelson. Hopke is out injured. Millard and DuChateau looked good but Askey, VomBaur, and Roberts had the edge on them, although the young guys did score some takedowns. If Askey gets/takes another year in 25-26, I would guess either him or Millard would go up to 165.

Minnesota doesn't do official wrestle-offs, but the open practice yesterday gave some indications. Salazar seems to have the edge over Nelson and Nagel at 197, who both would be solid starters. Brandon Morvari and Cooper Flynn were very close at 125, but neither opened up much so hard to say for sure. Bennett Tabor has put on good weight at Hwt, and I think will jump up significantly in the rankings. Max McEnelly is going to be a problem for a lot of 184 pounders. Tommy Askey, Andrew Sparks, Drew Roberts, Vance Vombaur, and Clayton Whiting also looked in great shape and favorites to start at their perspective weights. Tyler Wells at 133 did not participate yesterday.

I'm obviously not a Wisconsin fan and Bono's coaching methodology is not one I would seek out personally, but the way some of the local fan base has turned on him on message boards and social media is really self-destructive to a program. Fans ripping on their own coach certainly doesn't help recruiting, fund raising, or inspiring future prospective coaches to go to Madison.

And now, #1 215 Jude Corea has reopened his recruitment (was committed to Michigan). He didn't seem happy about Hwt Sahakian flipping from Arizona State to Michigan after he had committed there. I'm going to need a flip chart to keep track of all these flipping flips.

I can't speak for Cornell, but often these signings are just a photo op for the family. A lot of kids in my local community do it whether they are going D3, NAIA or whatever.

Him and Rummy Macias (Mankato State) had a nice Division 2 rivalry from the 60s to the 80s. They both passed away this year. RIP.

Apparently, David Taylor has flipped another top recruit from the class of 2025, in Sergio Vega. This goes along with flips of Landon Robideau and Cody Routledge from the same class (all top 10 P4P). Seems that such a great coach with an open checkbook from a billionaire donor could go after more uncommitted recruits.

But there would be a certain amount of collaboration with the coaching staff as to who gets offers, whether they publicly admit it or not.

The team dissension has to be huge when someone new gets lured in with rumors of 6 figure payouts, and other guys already on the team with similar records are getting books and a fraction of a scholly.

and a Seebolt (IA) club wrestler.

On the right side of your picture, I think they should slide the first row to the back of the endzone and do a row of 3 mats, then a row of two, finally a row of 3 at about midfield. Then put in some more lower level seating around the 40 yard line on the left, and hang a curtain behind that at around the 30-35 yard line. Use the space behind the curtain for warm-up space and/or a fan congregating area. You could still have 40,000+ ticketed seats and a lot closer viewing.

His uncle Tony and brother Anthony might be interested in the open positions.

There is a lot of intriguing matchups with Minnesota vs SDSU this year with all the transfers for both teams. Flynn vs Jordan Askey vs Siebrecht Sparks vs Rhodes Whiting vs DeVos McEnelly vs Berge Salazar vs Glazier

I have the feeling that following Albert around on any given weekend would provide multiple reasons for dismissal.

Just dropped in to see if Bo picked his college yet. Carry on.

Several of the wrestling media people have said that Iowa has already offered select high school recruits these amounts, but they just haven't accepted.

No pop-up ads on my laptop using either Edge or Chrome browsers. I did see a few on my phone though.

I haven't seen a pop up add yet on either Edge, Chrome, or Tapa Talk.

Give a team an elite recruit/transfer and you feed them for a season (or at least a semester). Teach a team to recruit and you feed them for many years.
