I didnt get a chance to read the forum last night, but did find out about getting Lee via Twitter.

So even though I knew he chose Minnesota, reading everyones comments before he committed still got me anxious to finally read on here that he is coming to the U.

Very good get for Eggum and Co along with the other recruits. This leaves me excited that the program is going in the right direction and this class is going to lead the charge.

Make Gopher Wrestling Great Again. It is time for the Eggum Era to start

So for 2019 I'm thinking Flo is off with Cade King projecting at 160. I think he would be a great replacement for Webster at 184. It's three years. Also what about Jordan Crace from Graham following Thomas? Those would be two huge gets for next year.

Whatever happens Eggum and the boys need to break the Kasson-Mantorville to IA connection before Kennedy is ready to commit.

Also with Kerkivlet could he take a grey shirt of sorts and just not go to college until he is a year out of HS and then Red Shirt? Then he'd have 4 years as a starter for the Gophers?!!! We could use the Gophers slush fund (ala Penn State) for him to use during his year off to party like a rock star or train at the OTC.

Would not work. Gable is only one year older than Kerk. You would need two grey shirt years. If you grey shirt and then red shirt he would still be a freshman in Gable's senior year.

He would still sit one year behind Gable in this scenario. Our best bet is probably hoping for a transfer home after Gable graduates. Probably both at different weights internationally and would be great partners for each other.

FWIW Kerkvleit was still in attendance for the Air Force dual.

Kennedy is a must for Minnesota.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'm sure no one else gave this any consideration
I gave this consideration because of several reasons:

1. The Gophers failed to land many top ranked wrestlers in the past from MN (Hall, Berge, Benick, Kerklevit, ... ). Kennedy will be in the top 3 in the country by the time he is a senior. I hope we can stop this trend when we landed Gable.

2. If you pay attention you might notice that Kasson-Mantorville's top wrestlers Big Berge, Brady Berge, Stoll did not pick Gophers. I hope Kennedy will not follow their footsteps. I don't know the real reason for them not to stay in MN, but we hope to find ways to fix that problem with Kennedy.

One of their coaches is an IA grad for one and that is where Broc Berge and Sam Stoll went, but I am not sure why Brady chose PSU over the Gophers. The allure of the training partners they have and the team title aspect was probably tough to pass up. Then if you add in pay for play with their booster club it's a no brainer. ;)

I may be mistaken but isn’t Kennedy training under MN Elite and Chad Erickson? He was in his corner at Super 32.

Imagine that helps the Gophers chances. In fact, I’ve seen here and on Iowa board (following his beating Hidlay) that Kennedy is a Gopher lean. Of course, nothing is guaranteed and we need to keep the momentum going

Unfortunately during the time Brady was making his decision, we were mired in a little scandal. I'm speculating that must have had some impact on his decision.

We also had a 149 and 157 that were still on the team, that left shortly there after.

On a different note, it sure would be great to hear some Gopher talk on the next FRL. Especially since the last couple weeks have been really heavy on Iowa and we all know the momentum is further north. CP, Willie, Nomad, I'm sure you lurk here. Please give us our due! :)

Not saying you're wrong, but that's how I got sucked into believing Mark Hall was staying home. Chad and Mark were VERY close.

Benick, Berge and Pfarr. We landed Pfarr. Of the three how did we do ?

Stoll. We had Kroells on the roster, not sure if you were aware but he was the #1 HWT in the country and I believe undefeated against Stoll. Did you expect Stoll to pick a school where he would sit on the bench for 2 years ? Now in hindsight with Stolls injuries how did that work out ?

Which leads to Kirk. In the same boat. He would love to be a gopher but isn't going to sit on the bench for 2 years. Things work out right, maybe he transfers back to Minny with 2 years of eligibility. Who knows ?

Hall, Top recruit went to a top program, especially when ours was buried neck deep in issues. not so surprising, plus his dad gets a job running the PSU camps..(heh heh)

So Im not sure where you complain about Minny not getting any of these guys. Outside of Hall I think it worked out as well as it could.

Chase O’Connor is from KM and is a Gopher. Kids wrestle where they want.

Chad Red’s dad is Brayton Lee’s lifelong club coach.....we see that it didn’t guarantee Nebraska

Wow, I thought McKee and Thomas was def shoot up, but they rocketed up there! With those rankings do we have a posibility of having the #1 recruiting class with the weight that Gable brings. They do rank em on how many potential points a wrestler can potentially bring to NCAA Tournaments. Gable should be considered very far ahead of the back plus #9, #16, #36. Wow. Great class.

^ ya I expected McKee to rise to about 25-30 and Thomas 50ish. Also thou McIntosh would enter the top 100. He has wins over two guys on here. Obviously these are based off of results necessarily.

Penn State's guys dropping gives us a boost too. Ohio State and MI also have a lot of high end talent coming in.

There any way we can swoop Cashman and roll out this in 2019-2020?

125: Cashman
133: McKee
141: McKee
149: Marko
157: Lee
165: Thomas
174: Allar
184: Webster:
197: Steveson
HWT: Steveson

I see 10 AA's potentially. And in Minnesota would be insane.

Whatever happens Eggum and the boys need to break the Kasson-Mantorville to IA connection before Kennedy is ready to commit.
KM's Head Coach is an Iowa guy... Good Luck
I love Eggum and his coaches landing these guys left and right, I remember it like yesterday when people on here were saying he wasn't the man for the job :-)

I do not remember a lot of people saying he was the wrong man for the job. I remember people wanting them to look at all possibilities. Some did question if he would be able to recruit or not. But I do not think many thought he was a bad choice. I think some on here read what they want to read and not what people actually write.

All that said, Eggum was 100% the right choice. Great man, great coach, and now great recruiter. Hey Penn State objects in the mirror are closer than they appear!

I’d imagine that Schlatter is a pretty good recruiter for out of state guys, considering his experiences.
