Wrestling Recruits

[DIBISON]

Four time ND state champ Scott Gassler of Bismarck has committed to the Minnesota Gophers. He was recruited by about 30 programs. The only other school he visited was NDSU. He's the second recruit we have "lost" to the Gophers, as another from Detroit Lakes, MN committed earlier this week!

Has anyone heard about the new wrestling conference we're supposed to be joining/forming next year?

Linebacker Mike Maresh I heard was going to wrestle this winter. He is a past Minnesota state champ. Bucky said he could have wrestled for anyone in the country.
