I feel like our recruiting philosophy this year was “eff it, we got Avery Johnson, let’s go find the biggest, strongest, most massive high school seniors in the country to stand in front of him”

Flip him to d-line and make him Will Geary 2.0.

Which is exactly the correct course of action.

Britz, geary, Bedore were all state champ wrestlers IIRC

Blake Seiler also a wrestler

Ron Prince loved wrestlers/multi-sport stars.

(FWIW I think he was right about this despite his many faults)

WonderMeal · « **Reply #28931 on:** October 31, 2023, 10:42:56 PM »

Seiler won at least one state title, I think two at Bishop Carroll.

Navarro Schunke won the same folkstyle national wrestling tournament that Geary won. He also has at least one Fargo national championship in Greco-Roman wrestling, which is probably the most impressive accolade of any 'Cat football player. (He also has a freestyle All-America finish at Fargo.)

Geary never won Fargo, but then again, hestarted wrestling in ninth grade.

So Schunke is the most accomplished wrestler in 'Cat football history the second he steps on campus. But Geary was probably just as good, if not better in folkstyle. Would love to have seen 2013 Geary vs 2023 Schunke.

folkstyle wrestling sounds like they rub lard on each others bodies and wrestle in the fields. that's the kind of tenacity i wanna see on the d-line

A Tenacious D, you say?

I thought I saw a third upgraded to 4* today as well.

*checks*
Gus Hawkins as well (on3)

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #28939 on:** November 21, 2023, 08:42:00 AM »

So while we may not have many commits, the quality seems pretty good.

wetwillie · « **Reply #28940 on:** November 21, 2023, 08:47:28 AM »

'25 is like '23 we need to land a lot of the kids we have been working on. '24 was always gonna be a small class with a lot of HS OL.

Surprised Brix is still out there. Figured he would have went OU by now.

I think he might be giving the Nubbs a chance to land him

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #28943 on:** November 21, 2023, 11:27:00 AM »

Brix needs to go to a team that will win football games. That is only the KSU Cats.

The semi truck worked, apparently.

Crazy that kids want to play for a team that likely won't be bowl eligible for the 7th year in a row.

wetwillie · « **Reply #28947 on:** November 21, 2023, 02:30:13 PM »

Well at least we tried

Beebe going in first round, cats playing in back to back Dr. peps and that brain genius wants to go to lincoln where he will play under at least 2 different coaches.

not sure he could qualify at KSU if we are being honest

Someone should tell him the story of Turner Corcoran.
