You still haven’t said what they’ll be contending for if he redshirts

You know how his body is going to grow in the next year. Wow.

The point is he’s the best 184 pounder they have today. He should wrestle

Yet he can’t get there?????? If he could he’d be there now.

What happens when McEnelly ends up at 197 in a year or two ?

Gophers might be better with McEnelly at 184, Salazar up at 197 and Joles at HWT.

Wrestle the best wrestlers while you have them. Contending for what ???

He’s only the back up because of the shirt. I think they should pull it.

Ok

Actually had Brooks and Hidlay not moved up it easily would have been 197 again this year as the weakest. Last years runner up has been manhandled by Brooks and looked overmatched against Smith from Maryland already this season.

Good question. Might be a little early to tell but I’ll go with 125 at this point. The highest returner and last years runner up has multiple losses already this year.

197 has some top tier talent to watch this year. It won’t be the weakest weight class again this year.

Shapiro for President

Interesting that he never wrestled once (those four years) at the weight he wrestled last year in college. Again, it just seems to me that he’s better off even at 184 than he would be dropping all the way to 157. Would be interesting to know what happens in the room between him and Caliendo.

That’s how old I am. I should have said 220 instead of HWT. There was no 220 in my day and for some reason my beleaguered brain considers 220/285 both HWTS. I also should have said he didn’t look like he weighed much more than 170 for any of them. I don’t keep up much with high school regulations on what weights you can and can’t wrestle based on what you weighed on a certain day but it looks like in 2020 on Jan 23 he wrestled 195, on Jan 25 he wrestled 3 matches at 182 and 1 match at 195 and on Jan 30 he wrestled a match at 220. Point being he wrestled up a lot for competition and dual impact and to me would make getting down to 157 in college and remaining an AA candidate unlikely( In my humble lack of Minnesota high school weigh in regulations opinion of course).

Which ever Short I was listening to did (IMO) a great job on the mic Sounds like too many skeletons to move up to the next mic level though huh????

Well I’ll be dipped in shi$. My memory does suck. Disregard everything I’ve said.

I remember watching the finals match against Short. Shorts Uncle Jake, who wrestled for the Gophers was the broadcast announcer for the match (which in itself was a neat story). He kept talking about how powerful Kennedy was when he got his hands on his opponent and that he was AA material at the next level. I hope it works out for him to be in the line up one way or the other.

Pretty sure that was his senior year. His junior year at 182 I believe he pinned Short in the state quarter finals. I’m old and my memory is fading but I think he stated his jr year at 170 but bumped up to 182 around the middle of the season. His senior year I think he wrestled at 182, 195 and I might have even had a stint at HWT. I’m not sure he actually weighed much more than 170 for any of them.

F N A right on that

Looks like someone has a crush huh?????

Carry on full speed ahead with the course I choose……….

It would behoove me to read what I want to read when I want to read it. Wouldn’t it?

Legitimately you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t read every comment you make.

I believe his senior year he bumped up to 182 to wrestle some better competition. He handled Quayn Short in the title match.
