Recruits

[JackedBeNimble]

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the correction Bits. I must have looked at an old Press and dakotan story about Warren's state championship. This winter should be entertaining in Brandon, hope to see some Blue and Yellow in the stands watching.

Iowa had an all star dual meet last weekend and 2 future jackrabbits competed. Roybal won by fall and Martin won. Martin dominated a wrestler from Iowa with a lot of accolades. The future of the program continues to look bright.

Super 32 is going on this weekend which is a pretty high level tournament filled with a ton of ranked wrestlers. SDSU has 4 recruits entered including 3 which are ranked. Derick Cardinal is ranked #14 at 132, Alek Martin is #19 at 145, and Connor Gaynor is #13 at 152.

I’m pretty sure SDSU has 6 recruits entered:
Cardinal (132), Martin (145), Gaynor (152), Swensen (152) Roybal (120), and Rogotzke (195).

Future is bright!

Three placers in the group with Rogotzke taking 7th, Swenson 5th, and Martin winning the whole thing. Cardinal had a good showing going 4-2. Roybal went 3-2 and Gaynor went 5-2. I think you'll see some jackrabbits making their way up the rankings very soon.

Agreed. All 3 of those guys should rise in the Rankings.

Flo updated their high school rankings

Cael Swenson #10(152)
Roman Rogotzke #15(182)

Simaz seems to think that it is, yet again, a good day to be a jackrabbit. Among those liking the post is a guy named James Rawley, a very talented (top ten) junior 170 from Crescent Valley, Oregon. This is the same school as Chance Lamer. I can't see why he would even follow Cam Simaz unless he was at least considering SDSU. That's my guess.

Thanks as always for the insight. I like this and think your assumptions are spot on.

Rowley would be a good get, as he finished 2nd at Super 32 at 170 last week. Calm and smart wrestler on the mat that doesn't seem to get rattled. Tough competitor for sure.
