Everybody sure does seem to be high on him. I don't know if I'm missing something or what.
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.
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.
Jeez maybe you hear his name a lot because he’s good, local and committed to wrestle at the local D1 college

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.
There’s no room for your objective opinions based on facts here.

If you don't think a win over Carson manville counts for something idk what to tell you. You can just keep being confused I guess. Most local wrestling boards are going to talk a fair amount about a top 100 recruit they get from a local school.

Gliva was on Flo’s top 100 during the summer as well. He is a tough kid. Glad to have him.

Sokol is the definition of a HAMMER! That kid gets better every time I watch and its impressive how physical he is for being so young! He is the type of kid ya want!
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.
Simley pumps out recruits?? Short and Wanzek..and they both have been underwhelming.

Kerk is going to Okie State..
Both those young men are solid wrestlers. D1 is a meat grinder 99.9% of us have no idea about.

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.
Burwick defeated Ripplinger 8-6 yesterday at the Mandan Lion's Tournament. There's a great chance they will meet up again at the Rapid City Invite next weekend. I believe they are both scheduled to go tot he Rumble on the Red as well this year. They have wrestled each other twice a year for the past two years prior to this year and have split their matches against each other 1-1 each season.

Sounds like he’s leaning towards a border school. Appears to be a toss-up between Worthington CC & NIACC !

We need to get Glazier AND King just incase we can't get Kennedy. Both have good upside and Glazier has been very impressive lately beating Kenny O'Neil last weekend and Peyton Robb before that. I'm big on Glazier and wouldn't be surprised if he beats Kennedy this year.

I would be pretty suprised in Glazier beats Kennedy.

I agree though Gophers should go after both Glazier and King they will be different weights in college I think.

Xmas tournament should shed some light... you'll have Robb, Franek, Glazier, Kennedy, King, and Steffen all around the same weight. Should be stellar.

King will be wrestling 182 at the lowest. Probably see him and Steffen at 182, Glazier at 170, Franek and Robb at 160.

Ramirez of Iowa is ranked #18 at 160 and will be there as well. Add Brenner, O'Neil, Buesgens, and Rogers... should be fun!!

There’s no way, and I’m talking powerball odds that Glazier beats Kennedy this year, next year or 4 years from now when they are most likely both in college. I think a kid has to go where it’s good for HIM. I’d be lying if I said Kennedy’s style didn’t fit Iowa better. Is that because his coach was an AA from Iowa? Maybe. I’m gonna cheer on any Mn kid wrestling anywhere. The better option is not always well received.

Your drunk. Iowa doesn't have style, they run they're program like the qoute " you gotta be dumb to be tough", and visa versa. Just plain nonsense, some of the toughest people out there are very smart and respectable. Cue Snyder and co. The Iowa way is a joke and sets the standard for low morales. I hope Kennedy is above it.

And don't give me that Iowa is hardnosed and aggressive BS, cuz St. John, Evans, Burak, and Stoll (sorry) are some of the most boring p*$$* wrestlers I've seen at the D1 level.

Glazier and King would be nice additions.

I hope Kennedy gives the Gophers strong consideration-- the Kasson guys do not seem to fully understand or appreciate the benefits of staying at home where they can enjoy a very strong fan support system. Regardless of where he goes to college, I hope he enjoys a quick recovery from the knee injury.

I also hope the coaches have had contact with AJ Ferrari (#4 ranked at 182 from Allen, TX) who is one of the top sophomores in the country -- I'm not sure we'd have a chance to land him, but definitely worth contacting.

Hate to say it but I agree with pitbull. The "Iowa Style" ship has long since sailed. College wrestling has evolved enough now that one team with one style is obsolete and has been for awhile. Some die hards try to think that formula still works, but they are living in the dark ages. It's okay to have that philosophy, but teams are much more dynamic and diverse nowadays.

The Gophers will get a strong look from Kennedy. Kennedy will get a strong look from every team in the country.

I believe Kennedy and Ferrari have a little bit of a relationship through their competitions. Would be cool if the top two recruits in their class wanted to be Gophers. 174/184 and prob 197 for Ferrari.

I don’t think Sophomores can be contacted by coaches yet, but with the rules ever changing who knows.
