Recruits

[BitsTD]

I noticed that Owen Warren, state champ from Yankton, is on the BV football roster this fall. Between Damion Schunke's 2 titles (9th and 10th), Navarro Schunke's title as an 8th grader, Owen's title last year as a freshman, and Isaac Klinkhammer's title as a freshman, that is a pretty formidable line up. Could be interesting what BV does since Klink and Warren wrestled the same weight last year. There are also a couple of lighter weight wrestling twins (10th grade), the Ohmees(sp). I think one made it to the title match, but not sure which one or what weight. I would love to see them all wearing Yellow and Blue in the future.

Some clarification:
Oehme's were 2nd & 5th at 106 & 113 respectively
Klinkhammer was 2nd at 152
Damion is a beast on the mat wrestled 182
Dom Tucker was 8th at 195 as a sophomore
Warren was 3rd at 220
Navarro was champion at 220
Navarro could have wrestled heavyweight except for some dude from Chamberlain was dominating that weight class.

To ringthebells point the upper weights for BV should be dominant.
Navarro is at 260 for football.
I am sure Klinkhammer will be higher than 152 this year.
They are gonna have to find out the best combo with Damion, Owen and Dom.

Cael Swenson, Derrick Cardinal, and Roman Rogotzke all wrestled at the Minnesota "who's number one" event today. Roman got beat up on the feet by Gabe Nagel and didn't look like himself losing 12-6 but Cardinal and Swenson looked very good. Swenson majored returning state champ Payton Handevidt while Cardinal majored Chase Deblare who is a very highly touted 2X state champ from Simley who has been in and out of the national rankings over the past few years. You have to feel good about these two.

This is noteworthy. There are a lot of other very talented wrestlers on that team who would make great additions one day. Tabor and Peterson are already committed, but literally everyone else on the team (Jagger Schack, Braden Basile, Ryder Rogotzke, Logan Swenson, Cole Glazier and Tyler Wells) all have the potential to be DI recruits one day and could be viable targets for the Jackrabbits at some point. I don't think that I've ever seen this before.

They will be back together again at some point, especially if MN government and MSHSL halts or severly limits the MN wrestling season. The team shows that it took fifth, but it really was a championship caliber team. The Jacked Rabbits and Missouri United wrestled the best dual of the tourney in first round of Gold pool to a 21-21 tie. Went to the 8th or 9th tiebreaker to decide Missouri won on most accrued Backpoints for dual 10-7. They both stomped every other team and all the kids really worked well and got along well together. Really good wrestling across the board from these kids. Max Peterson is not committed as of yet, but his brother Mitchell is to NDSU.

It looks as if some of our recruiting class put together an elite team for the Rocky Mountain Nationals for this weekend. The High School dual teams are going on today. They have called themselves the Jacked Rabbits. Cael Swenson, Alek Martin, Derrick Cardinal and Roman Rogotzke to name a few.. it is streaming on FloWrestling

He is a great addition. Almost impossible to ride him and doesn't tire out. He is widely known as a pinning machine and will bring a lot of Bonus points to the Jacks.

I could see him going either way at the next level. He tends to dominate low-level guys, but he's always struggled when you put him out there against another talented wrestler who is comfortable in his funky positions. Some people are able to really hone these skills to the point where they can use them on everybody and some aren't. I think, for Rogotzke, a good match with a coach is important. He needs coaches that will let him be him and work with him on his positions. The staff has proven now that they can work with unorthodox wrestlers like Tanner Cook and Zack Price. If he showed up at place like Iowa or Michigan, he might not be able to grow in the same way that he can in Brookings.

Pretty good call by you there

And to think, I used to wonder if the coaching staff was listening. This is big for recruiting but he's a good wrestler in his own right (41 pins last year). If you remember Scott Joll from West Virginia (he beat Cade King last year) he's a lot like him in his style. He gets in a lot of strange positions where he's able to put people on their backs. It's very fun to watch but I do wonder how it will translate to the next level.

Certainly does his best work on the Bottom IMO.
