I'm still waiting for a hater to tell me specifically what new coaches should specifically teach different in practice. Like what are the coaches showing wrong right now and who would show these specific things better? Or are they just blanket haters?
They could teach an attacking offensive style and the ability to get out from bottom for starters. They could teach how to go on the offensive before the last 15 seconds when you are down by 4 or more. Is that specific enough?
Tom Brands in his press conference following the MN IA dual complimented the MN team for their bottom wrestling. He noted that it was obvious MN had improved and worked on that area. Brands can acknowledge it, yet Some MN "fans" can't.

Listen to any of the coaches. They all constantly preach more attacks, more offense, more bonus. Their philosophies are very aligned with that mentality. The coaches can't wrestle the matches. i think the MN program is stereotyped on a few wrestlers who lacked a lot of offense. We have had plenty of exciting wrestlers over the years. It was too bad the NCAA arena gave Dylan Ness a standing O for his conservative wait til the last 15 seconds style.
This the same dual where their 125 and 133lbers stuck our guys? Maybe there was sincerity on Brands' part but maybe he was snickering on the inside that we were on the bottom so often, specifically that his team had 12 points on us right off the bat...all because we have a D2 or D3 level 125lber in there (Petry) and a RSJr.(Brancale) that has regressed in the past two years enough that he probably should join the former at a lower level of wrestling...
Brancale was one he credited actually. Brancale got two escaped before getting hit with a suck back. Brands was very sincere in his comments.

Smith will probably try to get Moore down to 174.

He sure is. Will he get big enough to be effective at 125?

ND blessed us with Schiller. A guy who many thought would never see the lineup.

WI's Hartung was OK.

gophers recruit at all the major tournaments and go all throughout the country. It is harder to go to somebody else's back yard and poach a recruit, so that is why u see most recruiting occuring in the Midwest. It's all about resources and managing them. Not every team can realistically call every top 25 recruit and have ongoing dialogue, nor would it be a feasible use of resources. You aren't always going to get everyone. Not everyone you get is always going to pan out. Obviously you always hope you land the guys you spend a lot of time on and you hope they pan out.
Feels like Cael just poached a pretty good wrestler from a big wrestling state...the name is escaping me at the moment but I believe it rhymes with Hark Mall.

McKee looked good and is going 59kg at Trials!

Makro looked good as well, if that was an NCAA match Carr would have been dq'd for stalling.

And Cael stated how difficult it is to come into MN and recruit.

When at ISU, he was unsuccessful with many MN recruits.

Can someone tell LeRoy to put in Vega's ear that MN was good to him? That he developed from a stud 112lber into a stud 125lber....

McKee is D1 ready right now. Also liked the hustle from Marko. I like it when guys run back to the center.

In reference to Minny High School seniors.

McKee the gopher recruit is 2-0 in all star matches, the Purdue recruit (who I am a fan of) is 0-2 in all star duals and the okie state recruit is 0-2 in all star matches...and Mark hall is 2-0.

Hmmm so is McKee going for academics only or did one of the alleged no good recruiting gopher coach nab a good one, because last time I checked the Purdue recruit and okie state kids were pretty darn good..and our guy went 2-0!

McKee should win the OW for this event. I also liked to hear he is wrestling 129.8 lbs for the last chance Olympic qualifier.

watching McKee any chance he can make 133. I wouldnt say college ready. Phillipi may be tough on top but I didnt see anything special from Phillipi. But if McKee can make 133 and starts, he could be a qualifier. He just needs a lil work on his standup game, and his riding.

Oh so he can make 133 as well huh 😂... What about all those expert opinions we hear from people that say he is too big for 133?

If he is the best guy in the room he should wrestle. The Gophers need a good year next year more then they do at some point in the future. Need to show this year was an anomaly.

Nope.

Did Cael wrestle Mega last season because he wanted to take 2nd or 3rd place? He redshirted him for this season and well, that worked out.

Really trying to understand this comment. The majority of people on here want McKee to start at 133 next year. There has been some who are concerned he will not make 133 but I do not recall many who have flat out said he will not make it.

As for your previous comment. People who are not happy with recruiting never said that the Gophers do not get good recruits. The problem they have is the we do not get enough good recruits. Also, he still has not wrestled one match in College. No guarantees.

I really do not have a side in this fight. Just dislike when people make things up or contort what others have said to make their point.

If McKee doesn't overlap with Thorn at the same weight down the road, I agree redshirt him. Not that opinion weighs too heavy haha.
