True, and it's probably part of it. I would say it would carry more weight if they had no success at all from anyone, top level or not, and that's not the case.

We’ve traded a team that can’t get out on bottom for a team that can’t score points from neutral. I preferred the former to be honest.

"Rogotzke strikes me as a project. Talented but he's going to need to hone his craft. I don't think he's ready to step into the lineup and be successful as a true frosh."



A respected coach in MN who has competed and coached at that level thinks he’s much more than a project. We shall see!

What he hell happened in the Mendez match? Cannon escapes and Jesse's immediately in on a deep double but they banged heads. Ref stops match and neither awards two for a TD nor assesses injury time which would have given Jesse choice of positions. I am baffled. So Cannon gets hit in the head and receives every benefit of the doubt.

Quote from Alex Creech's post:

"I don't think coaching is really the main problem. I think it's been more injuries and recruiting. The failure of the 2018 and 2019 classes have killed them.

2018 - Heinselman (40) Mattox (18) Hoffman (14) Sasso (12) Jordan (36) Kinner (32)
2019 - Kerkvliet (1), Kharchla (3), Decatur (6), E'Emilio (18)

That's 10 top 40 recruits and the only ones to hit so far have been Sasso and possibly Kharchla.

4 left the program.

That's 2 huge, top ranked classes that haven't panned out and have set them back at least 2-3 years.

They didn't really have anyone in the 2020 class that I could find (because of the huge 18-19 classes) and so far Paddy has not panned out from 21.

If their 22 and 23 classes end up like 18-19, it'll be another few years of middle of the pack."



That's an excellent synopsis. But it doesn't discount coaching as a reason some of these guys didn't progress as expected. Sort of a chicken/egg thing."




BINGO, tellin lke it is Alex, recruiting miscaculations in years they spent alot of money (for whatever reason, they are misses) ... i think 2022 & 2023 will fare much better, Mendes was no miss

I hope you're right.

Brian Matthews comment is hilarious.

And Tate Orndorff with a nice upset over Hilger.

Not sure in which recruiting class he goes but add Anthony Echemendia to that list of disappointments. Tom Ryan for some reason was fascinated with him. In hindsight, he was never gonna excel in college as he had sparsely competed in folkstyle.

Gallagher’s showing at Big Ten is a terrible look for the program. There’s no explanation.

Overall, I do feel the team performed fine. D’Emilio and Orndorff are ready to contend for AA honors, Smith should podium, and Sasso will probably make the finals.

Romero looks like he may still be battling injury. Mendez got a wakeup call.

good catch, Ech maybe not ranked for immigration paperwork reasons-- but was Fargo champ and thought of at the time as a prize catch (maybe)

is it just me or is there less information coming out of Ryan the last couple years? i can't recall the last interview he did, he used to do them frequently. maybe i'm not looking in the right places
