Analysis from The Open Mat

3) Minnesota

#1 at 285 Gable Steveson (Apple Valley, MN) 285

#1 at 126 Patrick McKee (St. Michael-Albertville, MN) 125

#2 at 152 Brayton Lee (Brownsburg, IN) 157

#5 at 160 Ryan Thomas (Graham, OH) 165

#15 at 195 Garrett Joles (Boyceville, WI) 197

#18 at 145 Kasper McIntosh (Portage, IN) 145

Jake Gliva (Simley, MN) 141

Caleb Rea (Weir, WV) 133

Caden Steffan (Zumbrota-Mazeppa, MN) 184

2017 Ranking: NR

Just on signing the top wrestler in the Class of 2018, Gable Steveson, the Gophers probably deserve a top-five ranking. Steveson has sparked discussion as being one of the best recruits ever, at any weight. The three-time world champion will be needed as Minnesota did not have an NCAA qualifier at heavyweight for the first time in recent (and not so recent) memory. Gable will be expected to contend for NCAA titles immediately. As great as Steveson may end up being, this recruiting class also features a bunch of wrestlers that could have excellent careers themselves. Patrick McKee is three-time Minnesota state champ, as well as a Fargo champ. He may be needed to start from day one if the Gophers bump up their lower weights, as expected. Brayton Lee finished his season as the second-ranked 152 lber and 11th overall senior. Lee won three Indiana title with only one loss in his high school career. Though he fell in the Ohio state finals, Ryan Thomas put together a remarkable senior season with tournament titles at the Super 32, Walsh Ironman and NHSCA Senior Nationals. Garrett Joles was dominant in-state but does not have many competitions out of state in which he competed. Kasper McIntosh had a subpar state tournament but has placed at most national events.

Gophers should double dip on Colorado recruits and go after Theorious Robison and Andrew Alirez. Alirez just 10-0’d Nick Lee.

Whoops. Looks like Alirez has already committed to Northern Colorado.

Yes , but things can change... hasn't Nickerson been looking around at other coaching positions?

In any case, hope we have a shot at Robison.

Sounds like Pickell really wants to be a Gopher! Question is where would he fit?
Heck yeah, bring him in at 141. The kid can scramble.
Unless Pickel gets up around 160, he’s gonna be a bit undersized for 41. No disrespect whatsoever, young man is an animal. I hope the gophers land him for sure.

I was kind of excited to see what Petry and Polakowski could do next year but Russell is a real upgrade.

125- Russell
133- Lizak
141- McKee
149- Thorn
157- Bleise
Solid top half of the lineup. I’d like to see Thorn stay at 141 and redshirt McKee but I’m not sure they do that. Russell is a potential AA.

No offense but they should look to get a transer for Thorns spot. If Petry is getting passed over, Thorn should earn a spot along with Steveson at 197. Keep bringing in those transfers .

Everyone earns their spot. I expect Thorn to have a good senior year.

One second we are excited to bring in a transfer that was an All-American in 2017. Then a couple post later we have someone suggested that we find a transfer To replace our 2017 all American.

Please. Don't always be a homer.

Thorn stunk last year and squeeked an AA once. He was once thought to be a title contender and will be lucky to AA as a senior. #Fact

Oh and the scandal......

What about that tough redshirt from OH that was at EMU? Where did he end up? He is a 149lber... someone said Moen is going to MSU-Kato right?

Another transfer I would like even though I doubt he would end up in MN is Keegan Moore... although I don't know if he is a 184lber (one of the reasons I think Smith wasn't happy with him)

Has Moore asked for, and received a release from Okie State?
