I saw that Kasper McIntosh listed the Gophers as his college of choice. He is currently ranked 13th at 145. How good is this kid? |

What ranking site had Lizak at 13? He was in the 70s on Intermat. |

He is already committed to the Gophers and he's a good pick up, ranked #8? By Flo also I think. And just took 5th at Super32 (Eischens took 8th same bracket) |

Caden is overlooked nationally. He should be ranked top 25 in the nation for his weight. Congrats to Caden and the Gophers. |

I love the Caden Steffen commitment. He's a 'diamond in the rough' type wrestler with great upside. |

I disagree. Just watched a video of him vs Trey Rogers of Hastings and he got completely owned. Showed absolutely no offense in this match. Looking at other results it looks like he's lost to many MN kids his own age the last couple years in season and out of season, that's just MN kids. A diamond in the rough is a rarity and I feel like everyone wants to classify any good small town kid out of southern Minnesota a diamond in the rough, in fact people were just saying the same thing about Bailee O'Reilly lol Glad to have both wrestlers but people need to pump the breaks on the Pfarr comparisons. |

Pfarr lost to his share of MN kids as well. Had similar placing a at the tournaments Steffen has had some success at. Probably a shade below Brett overall coming out of high school, but making the comparison is valid to this point in their careers. Obviously Brett jumped levels in college. Time will tell if Steffen can do the same. Either way a solid pickup. |

Brett Pfarr- 5th (Junior 170/2012) 3rd (Cadet 145/2010) Fargo All American Then he either won or placed high at sophomore, junior and senior division at NHSCA. Same tournament Steffen won this summer. Like I said similar placings at the tournaments Steffen has had success at. Edited by grappler6, Nov 10 2017, 01:19 PM.

I thought Pfarr was a pre season nationals AA too, but it was Northern Plains regional that he placed 2nd and 3rd after his senior high school season. His only time competing at Pre Season Nationals he DNP as either a freshman or Soohomore. Also had 3rd place Greco Fargo finish his senior year. |

Out of all the combined accomplishments listed in the last two posts the junior freestyle AA is easily the most signigficant imo. NHSCA is not heavily attended by top guys anymore. Fargo also attracts a lot more top guys than folkstyle nationals in Iowa. Steffen may end up being great in college, and I hope he does being a Gopher fan, but imo Pfarr had better credentials coming out of high school. |

Just looked at Steffens bracket from NHSCA Nationals and there was literally ZERO ranked wrestlers in his bracket via Flo rankings. Still a great accomplishment just pointing out the facts. |

You just killed your entire point. If Alex Meyer can have success without being an AA in Freestyle, why shouldn't someone think Caden has the potential to have equal success? Caden is still in high school and I believe has one more year to become a Freestyle AA. I'm a believer. |

Pfarr did that the summer after his senior season. Ya know something Caden hasn't gotten to yet. Again just referring to at this point in their career. The comparison is Valid IMO to this point. Ben Pherson who writes for the Post Bulleton in Rochester has this to say: The Gophers offering a kid like Caden Steffen gives me a lot of hope for the future of the program. He's the kind of raw, under-the-radar gem who will put in the work and could someday be an All-American. He's not afraid to get beat up to get better. A great kid, glad he wants to be a Gopher! |

Glad he wants to be a Gopher and I hope he does well.... Grap--As for all the "Top 25" rankings you listed, not all were top 25 overall. Maybe you can point me to Intermat's archives to prove this, but I remember the Dardanes were separated by quite few spots on the top 100 and neither was in the top 25 I believe. I don't think Nelson was in the top 25. Dylan Ness wasn't either from my memory. Top 25 overall is pretty select...Short was #1 or 2 at his weight class, I don't remember Wanzek being top 25...Short was. I believe Kroells was top 2-3 at his wgt so he probably was in that 20-25 range. Stroker, Early, Ortiz I believe were all top 2-3 at their weight and all were busts either wrestling wise (Ortiz) or dedication wise (Stroker) plus crappy behavior (Early). How many were in the top 25 overall is still up in the air. If you can get the archived rankings of Intermat, then by all means post it. If Thorn wasn't "top 25", then most of these guys weren't either. I still think before the last year...Storley is one of the only a few that were top 25. Edited by DWB79, Nov 10 2017, 02:18 PM.

You need to read better my point is how big of recruits they were coming out of high school, not how they would do in college. All my posts on the topic have been about why Pfarr was a bigger recruit coming out of high school. Nothing more nothing less. Edited by true future, Nov 10 2017, 02:21 PM.

If Steffen is a junior freestyle AA this year then I will agree that him and Pfarr are pretty much even recruits. |

It would be nice, if when new recruits are announced, that we take a moment to congratulate them or list positive accomplishments, rather than trying to find reasons they won't succeed. |

Using Earl's D1CW top 100 list, which is typically pretty close to Flo and Intermat and just much easier to navigate for this discussion, yes all that I listed were top 25 recruits. I follow this all very closely and I recalled that list from mostly memory of all the various rankings and then went to Earl's site to verify a couple and catch any that I missed. http://d1collegewrestling.net/Recruiting_Front.html Earl now does High School Rankings for The Open Mat. Feel free to search for Intermat's top 100, which most are behind a paywall, if you wish. I think you are thinking top 10 overall recruits, which yes Storley has been one of the few. My memory recalls Lizak's being 56ish on Flo top 100. |

Tony is the only I am a lil foggy on. I wanna say he was exactly 25, but can't find a list to verify. He was the #1 215 I know that for certain. |
