Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
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.

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

His wrestling skills are not the red flags. Hopefully tOSU can give him an environment for success.
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.

No offense meant, but a national publication (intermat) may have a better idea of who is the better recruit than you or I.
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.

He also beat McKee at junior duals 2 years ago. Not to mention he wrestles in arguably the toughest state for wrestling.

I have more then one reason to believe he won't do as well in college as many have him projected to do. He's not overrated based on past accomplishments, but on future upside (IMO). I guess we will see ;)

Not splitting hairs, and I could be wrong but I thought M. McKee wrestled Headlee at WNO. Also Sasso is 1-1 there, lost to Nick Lee , beat Artalona.

Is there any reason the Gophers are not in on any top ranked wrestlers not from MN....albeit Brayton Lee.

These kids must really dislike Minnesota. Like we cant even get 1 other top 10 guy or even top 20. I just don't get it.

No recruit is making decisions based on what people say on the forum. Heck kids don't read forums anymore, it's all twitter.

Please define what you mean by incoming Gopher recruit next year.

Far too vague for me to pinpoint what timeframe you are referring too. Perhaps a high school graduating class would be easiest.
You call that agreeing with him about his wrestling? It appeared to be much more of a shot at Sasso's character than it did praise of Sasso's wrestling ability. Don't know where his tangent came from? You can't bring up character and then be surprised when the conversation switches to it.

Referring to what felt like his need to defend the not overated stance to me. Also the other alleged major character issues brought up. I never said fans couldn't be excited about getting Sasso or that schools wouldn't recruit him.

To me my original post meant that his wrestling skills are as advertised (i.e. Not overated). If he fails it will be due to something else IMO.

I don't know what Gable is up to training wise right now, but I'd be much more interest in seeing a match with him vs Gwiz or Tony Nelson than another high schooler at this point.

Disclaimer: Ionly listed those that were on FLO's preview so far. Which doesn't include the upper weights yet. So he may be competing idk.

Big Cass and Gable are Miles apart in skill right now. These trips still take time and money. Staying back and training with Tony is probably better for his development anyway IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't expect it to be a close match. But every now and then the alpha needs to remind the others of his dominance.

It has been fun watching some of these Gopher recruits wrestle. Mcintosh and Mckee have wrestled well, and Thomas looks good. The loses they took could easily have gone the other way and they work and grind for 3 periods. The more I see of them The happier I am with the Minnesota coaching staffs recruit work. Couple other takeaways. 1. Kennedy will be scary if he keeps improving. 2. Pinnacle kids are incredibly tough on top and can turn top shelf talent....its impressive.
