So Kerkvleit just had a visit with Nebraska. Does that mean he has re opened his recruiting?
He has decommitted from the gophers. Has gotten to big. Most likely still not done growing.
How certain are you? I just asked his dad via twitter... no response.
100%
Well he told me today that the Gophers are still an option. So there's that.

Tough break for the Gophers but Gable is next level.
Kerkvliet is too. If he keeps growing and goes someone else I won't be surprised if he is gables biggest competition.

If Kerkvliet does decomit should the Gophers be going after Caden Steffen and Trey Rogers or are the already committed somewhere?
Or they should recruit a top ranked 197.

The obsession for every solid Minnesota wrestler is funny on here.

Look up and down Penn St. and Ohio St. rosters if you want to Win.
I agree with this 100%. Go get a top guy. You won't win a national tile without getting some top recruits out of state. Trey Rodgers has had a nice career but is a boderline d1 wrestler imo. Steffen a little higher but gophers need to shoot high.

There’d be no better wrestling partner than Gable though. I’m sure he wants to start all four years.

U can still get Steffen and continue to search for an elite recruit too.

Kerk is way too good to be anyone's practice partner and not be the Varsity top guy. He is doing what's best for his college wrestling career and each team can only have 1 starter. I will be rooting for him whichever program is lucky enough to get him.

I actually agree. It would also be good for the sport to have him and Gable wrestling on different teams only to see them compete often. I’ll be looking forward to it.

I'd agree, he is too good to sit but we don't know with 100% certainty he will be too big for 197. Could he wrestle 197 for a year or two then red-shirt while he puts on the weight? He might not be big enough to compete at heavy right away. Maybe wait a year to see how the body responds before making a decision.

I had in my mind that Robb and Lloyd were seniors last year. I don't know what I was thinking. Is there any chance of either/both of them reopening their commitment? They'd look great in maroon and gold...

I like the way you think... I've heard they are content in the sdsu selection.

Has the "home" state been selected for the Team USA HS all star dual?

With Gable, Patrick, Alex, Peyton and a few others, this seems like a year that Minnesota should be asking to take on USA. Thoughts?

Ohio State's class is incredible! Anyone would want that class. Minnesota's class is looking like it could be a very solid class, but Gable and Patrick McKee don't outweigh the combination of depth and star power of other classes.

How bout Penn State?
#2 Wittlake
#4 Beard
#9 Teasdale
#13 RBY
#20 Joe Lee
#26 Nevills
#34 Teske


Brayton would definitely bolster Minnesota's recruiting class (I think the delay in announcement was a good sign for Minnesota, but I think he still ends up at Nebraska), but even he doesn't put them close to Penn State, or Ohio State for that matter. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with Minnesota's class or complaining about Minnesota's class. It's looking to be a very solid and respectable recruiting class, but that doesn't mean it's the best.

Yeah possibly, but years ago I was the state editor for Intermat, and I watch more wrestling now then I did back then. I just think some of there commits like Sasso and Jordan are a little overrated by many of the wrestling websites.

Sasso over rated? That might be the dumbest statement you’ve made yet. He has basically won every big event there is.

Who’s No. 1 twice (over McKee once)
Flo Nationals twice
Iron man
Fargo Nationals
Super 32
Beast of the East
He also beat McKee at junior duals 2 years ago. Not to mention he wrestles in arguably the toughest state for wrestling.

Every gopher fan would be doing back flips if he had choose Minnesota.

The statement was made that he is overrated. Like I said I’m not sure how you can be overrated when you’ve won basically every tough tournament. Now if you want to talk about his character, that’s different. I have no knowledge of his character. I do know the there are some serious character issues on a incoming gopher recruit next year....that didn’t stop everyone in the country from trying to get him.
