Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Obviously you need depth at all spots, but not all kids are willing to be a depth guy. I'm guessing Ripplinger is not going to want to be a depth guy. He's going to want to wrestle.
But as Figure Four also said, very few guys worth having ever actually think they're going to be a "depth" guy. Most top recruits got to be top recruits by thinking they're the biggest bull in every barn.
Do you think Ripplinger thinks he cant beat Mckee either now or in the future? Not what do you think. What do you think he thinks?
I have no idea, but I do know that both can probably wrestle a couple different weight classes. For instance, everybody has been talking about McKee going up to 141. Then again, maybe McKee stays small and continues at 133, and then a guy like Ripplinger can wrestle 141. This is my point, we have no idea what is going to happen with weight, injuries, personal issues, etc.

I'm pretty sure that the poster was talking about P. McKee and not M. Mckee... I'd be surprised if he/she wasn't. Ripplinger vs. M. Mckee during M. Mckee's time at the U is not a question. My 2 cents anyway. B)

So Patrick is at 125 and Ripplinger is at 133. We could also have them at the same weight and have them compete for a spot.

I'm not even sure Ripplinger is ND's best guy in state at 126 this year. Kyle Burwick is also a Junior and beat Ripplinger last time around. He's very talented and has been an AA at Fargo.

Not technically a "recruit", but how bad is it that a former NC and I believe 2xAA (Jason Tsirtis) probably won't be starting at all this year--his last--cause he transferred to a team with a too tough of 149/57 combo....Probably lots of teams he could have made the starting lineup for. He's probably better then Short---although has about the same level of offense. Could've been a starter here...although I hate his style.

If Sokol continues to progress, he will be a top-5 recruit by his senior year.. Simley pumps out Gophers like no tomorrow, good sign for the UofM. Obviously still a lot of speculation/projection to be had tho.

I hear you wrestleme! But, I have to give MB some credit as at least he had the drive to win it once. I really don't like to dump on 4x AA LS, but MB won it all and LS could not get that done.

I have few, or maybe no regrets in life. But, LS in that old boring, terrible style of scoring. If he came onto our squad now, with the new (way) more active style, he might easily be a 2x, or more, Natty champ.

Sokol is clearly a huge recruit (I was saying the gophers need to get him almost a year ago.) Could meet up with two timer Pickell again this year at 126.

Simley does a great job of getting their top wrestlers ready to compete in college, in general. Look at other top HS teams and compare college success, Simley ranks at the top. And I mean overall, across every college level.

Did you miss the part where he is a top 100 recruit? Pretty dominate in MN, beat Carson Manville last year, former cadet freestyle AA. I mean he's not a super huge recruit but he's a very solid (top 100) recruit who I am sure had a lot of intrest from other d1 programs besides the Gophers.

i didn't think it would be close last year and honestly Pickell beat him handidly. I think Sokol will win this year if they meet up, but at some point maybe Pickell should be the favorite until proven otherwise.

I mean they pump out gophers in the sense that their qualified kids generally come here. Kerk would be a gopher if they didn’t already have a generational heavyweight I’d like to think. It’d be different if Sokol went to Valley or Kasson imo.

Thats a weird statement to make honestly. Short and Wanzek are the only Simley kids that have wrestled a match for the Gophers for a while now, aren't they?

Kyle Gliva and Kurtis Julson both saw some run with NDSU
Micah Barnes has 100 matches as a Husker
Tommy Glenn was a letterwinner at Wisco

It’s a statement that’s being made to be more than it is. 2/10 of our starters are from Simley and one of our recruits this year is from Simley. I didn’t think this was controversial lol.

Top 100 according to who? I'm being serious, because I really don't know. He isn't in Flo's top 100 (they actually don't even have him ranked top 20 in his weight class) and Intermat has him ranked #16 at 132. I also have a hard time putting much stock in matchups between juniors and 8th graders. He could very well turn out, but I've been hearing his name an awful lot and I can't figure out why.
