With you on Lovett and Pinto as disappointments. Hard for me to get there on Van Dee. He was pretty soundly beaten against Orine (Van Dee maybe should've been awarded an escape but it wasn't conclusive). In the consis, I agree that I thought he should've gotten past Wells but he wasn't aggressive enough. Even if he beats Wells though he would've had his hands full with Latona of VT. 

I should have clarified. I actually thought he wrestled tough against Orine. I expected more from him against Wells. The team race was tight for 2nd. My point was I thought those 3 left the most points on the table. Wells won against Latona. Van Dee had looked like he was getting better and better and then just dropped an absolute stinker. 
 

Lovett not going down in the 3rd will never make sense to me. Nobody can sell me on it. Brooks,  Starocci, etc the best of the best aren’t that naive to pick top in a 0-0 match and it’s your choice. Beyond stupid

Kind of crazy to be disappointed when we had five All-Americans, but it does feel like the guys fell short of their potential in most cases. Lots of young guys got some good experience this year so the future still looks bright. 

The only ones you could be truly disappointed in were Lovett, Van Dee, and Pinto. Robb could have won one more. 125 was tough! Hardy getting 3rd is great. Taylor placing at 165 is great! Allred ran into the only guy in the round of 12 he didn’t want to. Any of the other 3 draws in R12 he would have placed. The three I mentioned above cost Nebraska a Top 3 performance. 

Nash gassed. That’s fine. Allred was inexcusable. Robb should be smarter. That’s not a match he should lose. Giving an escape to end period. Getting taken down and then 35 seconds to get up to send it to OT and doesn’t get it done. VanDee was by far our best match. No points from Lovett or Pinto in Period 1 just isn’t going to get it done.. After 133 Nebraska had every chance to take control of the dual. They did not. Disappointing. 

Anyone going to Iowa dual? We are coming in from Rapid City. 

Hutmacher really is doing it? Taking my dad to the Iowa dual. Hopefully he wrestles then!!

OL?

I don’t think so. I think TE for right now. I’m sure he will play both ways next year which will show his best position. He’s an athlete. Started at First on their baseball team. Most likely will play varsity for basketball and did well this year on the gridiron. I could see him being 6’7 245 as a senior. Should be dominant the next 3 years in South Dakota. 
 

I also really like a lineman at Brandon Valley. He’s a sophomore and I thought he was better than the KSU commit that was playing next to him.

Kid is a I6'6" freshman.  Wonder if he will head the basketball direction.  I would image he is still growing.

Watched him as an 8th grader play basketball in RC. Very good basketball player l. Great hands for a big man. You could see the transition to football. Did not look like a freshman on the field. Pierre just won their 7th straight state title. He was TE2 as their TE1 is committed to NDSU. Both played a ton. Terwilliger no doubt has the bigger upside with his frame. Excited to see Nebraska in on him early. 
 

PS I think his P5 potential is football. 

There is no god damn way it was a fake on a 60 yard FG attempt into the wind. These last two weeks I’ve lost a lot of respect once Rhule spoke postgame. 

“If we die, we die” actually means we will settle for FGs when having a chance to win. Also our punter and kicker were once again below average.

I don't give a single f****** s*** where he's from, Haarberg has no business playing QB at Nebraska beyond this year unless he does some SERIOUS work in the offseason, which I ain't holding my breath. BUT SIMS COULDN'T EVEN RUN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THEN FUMBLED TO GIVE PURDUE 2 SECONDS OF A GLIMMER OF HOPE, HE IS WORSE. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF OPINION, WE ARE COMPARING A PILE OF POOP TO A MOUNTAIN OF VOMIT. Put Woche in, I don't care.

Haarberg has no business starting another game this year. The terrible throws. The no vision running or passing. He can’t make one guy miss running the ball. Small corner. Let’s run right at him. Sims has turned the ball over a ton. So has HH. At least Sims give us 4-5 on the ground. No idea if we win with Sims but HH just lost to a team that is worse than MN and CO and it falls on him. I never thought HH was good but hard for Rhule to make a change going 5-1 despite our QB play. He isn’t good at anything. I’ll take Rex Burkhead at QB over this!! 

Article on flowrestling states Van Dee going to 133. Everything else is what we have discussed. No mention of Condimetti which is a little concerning.

Booo on Grice to ISU. That stinks!

 

I wonder if Van Dee is heading up to 133 with Smith coming in.

I felt that Van Dee was just right at 125. He didn’t seem that big so that would surprise me. I trust Manning here but I assume there is a plan at 133 or Grice would be N.

Looks like a solid get at 125. Have to think Nebraska is probably in the driver's seat to land Grice as well.

Grice to Iowa State. That stings as I don’t think we have a 133 pounder on the roster that is good enough right now!!! Truax to Penn State. Nebraska isn’t going to be in contention for these kinda guys when their NIL deals are most likely bigger than Nebraska’s whole team. 

Garrett Grice in the portal. 133. You’d think Nebraska would have the inside track on this one!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Lauridsen isn't at 133 next year.  He wrestled 132 for part of the year before dropping down to 126.  

Even if he is at 133.. I would have to guess he would be taking a RS. Like Xmas said he can wrestle up to 5 varsity matches and maintain his RS. They need to go hard in the portal. Cant waste the next two years with holes in the lineup like they had this year.

From what I read on Intermat, Truax walks around at 190 so I don't think a cut to 184 would be too out of sorts but yep, if he wants to stay at 197, NU will not be in the cards.

Interesting. I have no idea what Nebraska will do in the portal but I hope 133 is their main priority.

I have no idea what Pinto walks around at but I wonder if he can cut to 174 and then Nebraska fills 184 with a transfer. The ideal get would be a dude like Truax from Cal Poly who I think has one year left and you wonder if he wants to use his last year wrestling in a bigger name conference.

I thought Pinto and Labriola had nearly the same body style. Does it help if Pinto goes down? No idea. Truax is at 197 so I don't think he will be coming to Nebraska. 

Nebraska should be really fun to watch in the next couple of years

125- I think they have a lot of scholarship money here and should be able to find an AA. Maybe not next year but for the years after!! Between Van Dee, Koehler, and Lauridsen they have to find a solid 125. 

133- I would think this would have to be a portal addition. Dryden was disappointing, Burwick wasnt much better. 

141- This is Hardy's weight class for the next two years. The injury was unfortunate but he should be ranked in the top 4 when rankings come in for next year. 

149- Ridge Lovett. It hurt not watching him wrestle for N this year but it could really make the Huskers a contender for the next 2 years. I would imagine he is ranked #1 going into next season. 

157- I do not think Robb moves from this weight unless there is a hole at 165. Taylor actually looked really good in his limited time as a true freshmen. 

165- I don't know if Condomitti got hurt or lost his spot to Wilson. I am thinking an injury had something to do with it. He is one of Nebraska's top recruits and really needs to be the 165 lb moving forward. If he is not look for Robb or Taylor to move up. Also did see the Stanford guy will be wrestling somewhere else for his last year. 

174- It was nice having Labriola here for the last 4 years!! Unless Condimitti or Wilson go up I would have to guess this might be high on the transfer portal list. Brown Ton is the only returning 174 lb on the roster. 

184. Pinto is fun to watch. Hopefully he will understand that wrestling matches are 7 minutes long. He wore down way too fast in the final periods of matches. Showed a ton of ability as a freshmen and am excited to see him grow! 

197- Silas Allred. I see this guy winning a national title before he is done. Needs to be better on bottom so he doesn't have to depend on himself so much on his feet ( I think he does get out against Warner if he chooses down) Got better and better as the season went on. Unfortune he did not AA. 

285- I would assume its Harley Andrews. High ranked HWT coming out of HS. I did not see a match this year but I was told he needs to put on some weight!! 

I think this team gets top 4 next year and the following year is a chance at the National Title. Penn State and Iowa will always have something to say about that. If i left anyone out. Feel free to add them!!

That Jefferson team was stacked. 

 

They are in their second year of existence and they already have a state title and I believe petition up to play in the largest class in SD.

 

@SoDakHuskersFan probably has more insight on him

One of the better LB prospects I have seen. Kpai I never thought as a MLB and Bender wasnt offered (started at least two years at Iowa). Jefferson was loaded this year. Second year as a HS but they took every kid they could from a different SF school. Really hurt the other schools. Now the 2 year open enrollement is gone so it will be interesting. Love the offer. Hope hes a Husker fan. Too many Iowa fans in Sioux Falls area unlike the Black Hills.  

Did Condomitti get  hurt? I really thought he would turn it on this year kind of how Pinto is at 184. Next year is big for Manning to find a 125, 133, and 174 to compete. I really like the rest of the lineup next year. 

A lot of people thought maybe Ohio State took Kienholz after Raiola let them know he was going to decommit. Doesn’t seem to be the case, at least from Kienholz perspective. Interesting

It can only be one of two things. Coleman is N or everyone knows the second. Either way Farrell was wrong about what he had said the other day in Fact or Fiction.
