Thanks for posting this. I still expect to see our HWT ranked #1 every year after our history of greatness at that weight.

 

[GopherOhana]

With Steveson back at HWT the gophers pick up probably about 30 points in the tournament rankings (to probably 5th just behind Va Tech) come the next intermat rankings - which i believe come out on tuesdays.

They're two elite wrestlers away from contending for the NCAA Championship.

They're two elite wrestlers away from contending for the NCAA Championship.

I see this lineup having the potential of finishing as high as 2nd, if each guy wrestles to their highest potential. Unfortunately I can't see them beating everyone or matching their 10 All-Americans season, and on the low end, they could finish as low as 13th, but I predict a 5th place finish.

 

[Gopherphile]

Very impressive win over SDSU today with Flynn upsetting a top five guy and McEnelly and Salazar
Both winning top ten bouts.

Anyone know why Millard wrestled for Askey at 157? I know he beat his guy earlier this year at Daktronics so not sure if that played into it. We might have two top 15 ranked guys in the same weight class…

Gophers lose to a solid but very beatable NE squad after getting zero points from their top seven (7) weights.

Gable toyed with his prey, Salazar rode his guy like a rented mule and McElleny showed that he's going to be a real problem for any opponent. He was really impressive.

It's strange but nearly all of the point scoring in college wrestling seems to have shifted to the heavier weight classes.

i think the team just went through several cases of the flu. might be several wrestlers are still getting their strength back. .about a dozen wrestlers had to drop out of the soldier salute two weeks earlier

Charlie Millard strikes again, winning the cyclone open and beating the 8th ranked wrestler.

 

[Gopherphile]

Charlie Millard strikes again, winning the cyclone open and beating the 8th ranked wrestler.

He's currently ranked higher (8th) on WrestleStat than our "starter" at 157, who was an AA last year (Askey is rated 14th).

We're going to really miss not adding Robideau into the pipeline but should be able to hold our rank next year, at least for duels. I know Hopke is being redshirted this year and isn't wrestling at all (injury?) so his development will be key. Excited to see Millard at 157, Hopke at heavyweight and Nelson at 197 next year.
