Travis simply "Took him to town". It saddens me that he wasn't deemed worthy to be a gopher, but his opponent is worthy. How the hell does that figure?

I think it has more to due with the fact that Ortiz has another year of high school left. That puts him 2 years out, when the gophers need to fill the weight. Also I think Rutt will be a weight class up. When they were looking to fill the spot they were full around 174, but now that Sitch has had the neck surgery he may not work out. Cody Yohn I belive is also working on recovering from a major knee injury.

I'm sure the gophers would have loved to see him in maroon and gold, but they had to use their resources where they had more needs, and Rutt wasn't going to be picked up as a "good deal".

Ortiz doesn't have another year of HS left..... And Ortiz teched Steinhaus both periods and then gets destroyed by Rutt.

Steinhaus is new to Greco, that's not a very good argument. I realize you were trying to make Rutt look good, but it came off somewhat as a knock to Steinhaus. I am glad he decided to go to Greco camp and wrestle in Fargo. He was one of the smartest wrestlers there and for this being one of his first Greco tournaments, he did extremely well. I hope he sticks with it.

Sorry I had just assumed since he was 4 or 5 and 0 going into the match that he was good at Greco too.

Ortiz just finished his junior year. He placed in both styles last year as a sophmore.

I don't know how new Kevin is to greco....but he did wrestle at the Duals this summer. I thought he looked very good at Fargo...but you could see that Ortiz had more experience at this style. Folkstyle I think it would be a pretty good match between Kevin and Ortiz....JMO

Ortiz is a Junior. Steinhaus has wrestled a little greco but this is the first time I think where he's really practiced it. Before this he competed in a few tournaments and did very well simply because he's a freak of an athlete and a very smart one as well. That is intended as a compliment.

Travis will do well as a Badger, wish he was a Gopher, but knowing the story he got way better offers fron NDSU and Wisc. and I don't blame him. Best wishes to a very well mannered mature young man.

As disappointed as I am that Travis (and Trey Bertram, and Tom Kelliher) that they are not gophers I am happy I have a reason to cheer for another big ten team. Wisconsin has become another choice for me with the Gophers and Bison.

We should all look on the bright side at least they are not Hawkeyes.

Good points.

I do wish MN had signed Rutt and I think they might be sorry in the future (even now) but they just didn't have the money that Rutt deserved. It's not that they didn't want Rutt (they did).
