Just looking at what we have at every weight I have determined the main focus of the recruiting class of 2016 should be at these three weights 174,184, and Hwt.

With That I determine these are the wrestlers they should be targeting
M Hall (obviously) 174
B Breske 174/184
K Bey 174
K Moore 184/197
O Webster 184
S Streck HWT to fill in until Gable

The worst case scenario is all these other wrestlers commit else ware and Hall leaves us hanging in October.

Best case scenario we land Hall, Moore and Streck
After this past week of wrestling I change my stance from before, I see only 2 real weight needs of 174 and 184. I think we will be fine with Streifel, he looked impressive this weekend.

Targets:
M Hall
B Breske
K Moore
O Webster

Anyone have any idea who else they are currently recruiting?

Bobby Steveson has said he is wrestling 184 this year. I suppose a move up at some point is possible, though. I think the winner of Rose / Berge gets a shot at 197 this year. If that doesn't go well either Steveson or Pfarr moves up the following year.

Quote from May 2013 http://www.twincities.com/ci_23184938/prep-wrestling-hunter-marko-amery-wis-there-is

"I'm going to add my name to that list three more times," he said matter of factly. "No one from my school has won four state titles, and I'd like to be the first."

That would make him a pretty impressive college recruit down the road at the University of Wisconsin, but Badgers fans might want to brace themselves for some bad news.

"I'd really like to be a Minnesota Gopher,'' he said. "That's been my dream forever, to wrestle for the Gophers.

I love Wisconsin, but there's something about wrestling for Minnesota that motivates me to perform at a totally different level."

Marko hasn't backed off his training regimen since winning his first high school state championship.

Marko would give us even better depth 125-133 range with Petry, Lizak, McKee, and Marko

I am pretty sure the 125 boat left the dock a long time ago - MAYBE 133 - but more realistically 141/149 for the future

Agree, would love to see him in the Maroon and Gold not sure where he projects as I believed he wrestled 152 in high school last year.

Hopefully he can pack on some muscle and make 141, 149 someday (or Tommy does).

Well, Short is a RS Soph. and Kingsley is a RJr....the following year when Stroker is a RFr. he'll have to beat out a Jr. or Sr. ....and Wanzek could be at 165 still as a Jr.

Stroker is pretty good, I wouldnt be surprised if he is at 149 this year, Short at 157, and Wanzek at 165. Gophers wont be too bad im thinking. Competitive at least. High ceiling.

I'll be amazed if anyone other than B Kingsley is the starter at 157.

Wrestled 170 at junior duals and cut to 160 for fargo. Could be either a 160 or 170 for STMA next year. Hard to say but if he keeps growing he could be a 174/184 guy.

Lizak, ?, Thorn, Short, Kingsley, ?, ?, Pfarr, ?, Kroells. The following year I can see some of this incoming class taking spots from upperclassmen. No disrespect to any of them.

Kamal Bey is going to the OTC this year to train Greco. The Greco fan in me is delighted, but the MN-located wrestling fan is disappointed that we won't get to see him in the Clash (should OPRF come back).

What's the story on Andrew Piehl? Ranked #7 in the country by Flo and doesn't appear to have any wrestling offers...

Piehl will be a senior at Rogers. I'm sure he will have opportunities to wrestle in college, but he may have a greater interest in football.

Andrew had quite a few college coaches watching his matches at Fargo. I'd be very surprised if none of them had made him an offer prior to Fargo.

Up until Fargo, I would have bet money that Piehl would go the football route, not I'm not sure. He'll have some good offers at the DI level.

Was kind of hoping Gophers would take a look considering that gap people are anticipating until Gable comes (fingers crossed). Tough to pass up football though if that's the route he decides to take.
