His brother Jim was also a 4-time state champion and joined him in the Badger wrestling program. Jim is most noted for his political career, where he's been one of the top Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.

    Bo, Jeff's oldest son, was never an individual national champion for the Buckeyes. He was a 4x All-American, twice finishing in the top three. Micah finished as runner-up at 149 this year. He's a three time All-American. Rocky is the third Jordan brother to wrestle at Ohio State. He red-shirted this season.
    That's what I thought, thanks for the background info. Can't remember which season, but Bo & Micah were in the same weight class and went 1v1 once or twice that year. Wrestling, more than any other sport, would be tough to watch family members oppose each other. Getting Kids from St. Paris/Graham & St. Ed's in Ohio is a big win. Big time wrestlers come out of those programs. Can't wait for Hahn's NJ connections to start pay dividends. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a kid or two from Blair Academy or Bergen Catholic, arguably the two best High School/Prep Wrestling programs in the country.

          It looks like we lost Kellyn March to the Bison. That one hurts.

              In researching his commitment, I'm seeing that we were able to get Lucas Anglin away from LOG so that's some consolation. I was hoping that he would be a Jackrabbit. The only other South Dakotan that I'm really hoping to get in this crop of seniors Cooper Voorhes. He's one of a few different smaller-name guys that I think we could make something out of. I do think that we have room in this class for at least one more big name recruit though.

                Could March beat the guys we have now? I don’t think so. Happy that the kid went to a place where he has a better chance of cracking the line up. Good luck to him beside when going against the jacks.

                  March is the best recruit that the state has produced in a little while. Honestly I think he could beat Molitor, Anderson and Caleb Gross right now. He is a bigger recruit than Price was and, after a redshirt year, I'd definitely favor March head to head. With Price being as big as he is, I don't think he'll be long for the weight. 133 is a big need for us and we're going to want someone who fill that hole when it becomes a need.

                    Eh, maybe (Casperson was more highly sought after than March). March hasn't improved that much since Peterson had him beat in the B finals two years ago to me (could be totally wrong). Bison are a step down from the Jacks now, a total 180 from a few years ago. Better coaching staff and if they get the wrestling room done, better facilities and fans.

                      So he can beat them now or after a redshirt year? I view March as a Dakota Galt type recruit. Would it have been nice to get him? Yes. But at the end of the day he wasn’t a “must get” and wasn’t a program changing recruit. I’m fine with our group but a blue chip could help.

                        I'm confident that he can beat every 133 on the roster outside of Price right now as a senior in high school. Price would probably beat him right now but March can't wrestle for 1-2 more years anyway and I do think that he beats him after that 1-2 years of mutual development. I always thought that people like Galt and Casperson were over-rated guys who made their hay wrestling freestyle and crushing cans and I was legitimately glad when they didn't go to SDSU out of high school. I think that March has the athleticism and the skills to be something special at the next level and I view missing out on him as a loss. It looks like SDSU wasn't in his top three, so maybe Hahn knows something that I don't and decided to to pursue him.

                          I just don't see March continuing to develop physically, he's about as good as he can be right now.
                          We'll see in 4 years.

                          I trust our coaches and think Hahn will develop wrestlers and coach circles around Kish over time.

                              Alek Martin just put himself into the top ten in the country with wins over #11 Teague Travis, #10 Josh Edmond, #8 Caden McCrary, and #6 Sam Hilgas. I'm excited to see what he does in the regular season
