It's stated Mejia is considering Iowa, Ohio State, and Minnesota according to FRL.
Pyles talking out of his a$$ about the Gophers. Like he knows anything about the current culture...
Was happy to see Willie refute CP's claims. MN culture is MUCH improved.

Surprised that CP actually said anything at all. He's been mousy ever since Cael dope slapped him during the You Got A Plan interview.

I agree and was also glad Willie challenged him. The very fact that two of the athletes Pyles alluded to refocused and went on to AA (one almost winning the title) should have kept him from making his idiotic comments...

Basically that Minnesota is a bad fit for Mejia because of a poor culture in the program. Drug ring, blah, blah, blah.

I'm so sick of Pyles. The guy has gotten way too full of himself and is a mediocre sports media person at best.

Pyles has ragged on the Gophers for years. Here is some of his nonsense posting from 2013 as vaisisforlovers where tries to argue that Senior AA David Thorn should be ranked behind incoming freshmen Gulibon & Grey in the Pre-season rankings!

"Thorn at 133 won't be great either imo. R12 or worse imo."
"I mean, hes a 5th year senior. How much better can he get?"
"David Thorn is not elite. I don't think he'll place,..."

Flo rankings

Any word on Benick? With Bobby moving up to 197, I'm not sure there's a spot for him anyway unless he can make 184. I'd love to have options...
Auggie could use a stud like him with Webster moving up to D1 and Longendyke graduating... ^_^
Bump this one......

Kerkvleit had a rough showing at the duals. I'm sure he'll learn and get better. Didn't look that big at 195 if you ask me compared to his competition, I think he'll make 197 just fine in college.

Kerkvliet has been dominating everyone and everything lately. He's obviously injured, sick or weight related. Why else would he have missed so many matches.....

I don't think that just because he got gutted with a trapped arm by another nationally ranked guy means he is sick or injured. Sometimes you lose...learn from it and move on. Overall Minnesota high school, freestyle, and Greco wrestling keeps getting better.

Being a 2nd year Cadet after finishing Soph year in HS means one less year at the JR level vs guys born in Sept/Dec. It is an advantage for competing as a HS kid to get the extra year at the lower level of a cadet, but they still start college the same time the other guys that had to go up a year early...so in the end these ARE the guys they will compete with in college....

I mean in theory 2/3 of kids should be cadets after there sophomore year of high school, so the majority of the guys he is entering college with are on the same age group schedule he is.

Hoping you are correct!

Iowa message board is connecting the dots that Potentially Dangerous podcast is delayed to tomorrow, opening up possibility Meija is using that platform to commit to his original choice....Iowa.

Going back to 2013: #20 Fredy Stroker, #21 Larry Early, #37 Hunter Marko, #60 Ethan Lizak

Would be nice to have more, but we are certainly getting some.

Can anyone confirm, are we pursuing Teske? Meija and Lee in place makes Iowa an unlikely fit for him.

He trains at Cyclone WC and has done a visit to PSU. Would hope we're on his radar

I'm not too upset about Mejia to Iowa. Teske had MN as one of his top 6 or so I think. Joey Silva is the best lightweight prospect still on the market.

Would be nice to have more, but we are certainly getting some.
So going back to the class of 2013, we've gotten 4 non-MN recruits that are "top 100" recruits, two of which didn't last beyond the Xmas break of their Redshirt Freshman year.

Lizak has turned out well.

Marko is entering his redshirt Fr. year, was 10-6 while redshirting and with the transfer of a legit AA candidate at his weight, probably won't be a starter till 19/20 unless he bulks up to replace Short in a year or Bleise goes up as a Senior in 18/19.

If we went to compete for trophies (cause are are not going to beat PSU unless Sanderson leaves that campus or they get brought down by the NCAA for some kinda of nefarious dealing) then Eggum and Company are really going to have to step up the recruiting. Allar probably is a 4 year starter that will redshirt this year, maybe O'Reilly is a 174lber diamond in the rough, but there will be holes to fill and if kids are going to IA, PSU, OSU, OHSU and so forth to be backups for 1,2, 3 years instead of probable starters for 4 years it will be incredibly tough to hang with the top 4-5 teams in the country.
