Wrestling: Post-PU Match Discussion!!!

There's a new Coach's Corner out today, where HC Eggum discusses last weekend, and the two duals this weekend!

He said that it's been a little tough to be on the road so often lately, and that this may have made it more difficult for some guys (like Pat McKee) to control their weight cuts.

This weekend we have two duals that should be easier wins for us. On Friday night we are at IN for a 5pm dual streamed live on BTN+, then on Sunday we are back home for a 1pm dual with Purdue. This PU dual is Alumni Day, where Alums get in free, and their guests get in for $5. Also, any high school wrestling teams that submit their rosters all get in free, so far there are 8 MN teams attending the dual!!

The whole team and the Alums will be at Blarney's for a social afterwards, so come on down to the PU dual, it should be fun!!!


I'll write some more about the duals shortly, here's the new Coach's Corner from Gophersports.com:

Football Recruiting Minnesota 2024 Recruiting Primer: Defensive Back

Today, we take a look at Minnesota's early 2024 defensive back targets.

DISCLAIMER* - Of the five DBs who have been offered so far, it does not appear that there is much going on with them as far as Minnesota is concerned. I would expect some additional targets to emerge moving forward.

MINNESOTA VOLLEYBALL - HUGE ADDITION TO THE PROGRAM

Minnesota volleyball got its first big "get" under the new coaching staff. Transfer addition Kylie Murr was defensive player of the year in the Big Ten for Ohio State. She is a libero. She will have one year left to play but fills a key role for the Gophers, next year. She is good friends with Minnesota setter Melani Shaffmaster.

Minnesota also got a visit this past weekend from an opposite hitter from the PAC 12 conference that had previously won conference honors. I have heard that Minnesota may try to bring in a potential transfer as a middle blocker, as well
