I sincerely hope the Gophers don't grossly underachieve like they did last year...

125: Zach Sanders
133: Jayson Ness
141: Mike Thorn
149: Mario Mason
157: Jake Deitchler
165: Dustin Schlatter
174: Cody Yohn/Whoever
184: Sonny Yohn
197: Geiger
HVY: Berhow/Disney/Nord

Now that is one badass lineup...

Looks like our murderers row at the lower weights is going to be back, thats a nasty first 6 guys. Really the only question marks are 174-197, and I've heard very good things about Geiger.

Schlatter and Ness are two huge losses after next year, and it looks like they might have trouble filling those holes, but the whole rest of their lineup should be very solid with an strong AA contender are every weight. I would be very excited if I were a Minny fan.

Ortiz is coming in and projects at around 160. Not entirely sure who will be at 133 but I'm sure we will have someone, I know Ness's little brother and Thorns little brother are both committed to the U (although I dont know that either are quite as talented as their older sibling). Dont know what weights they will end up at

Matt Mincey is no slouch at 133 and came in as a nationally ranked recruit.
