Lineup next year

John (the dad) is a good friend of mine and I have been putting the bug in John's ear. With the Dardanes at 133 and 141, it is maybe possible. But that would have to be up to J (Minnesota coach) to give a release. And J might be planning on Ness going to 157, N Dardanes going to 149, Thorn going to 141 and/or C Dardanes going to 141 and the other stays at 133. Neither are going to 125, I don't think.

After the season is over, it will probably be discussed what the plan is for everyone at Minnesota.

Long story short, possible, but long shot.

What are the chances of Thorn transferring? Getting him and his younger brother would be big.

Maybe kj is having Freddy be his recruiting coordinator. Been working for basketball to buy time to get freshman time to develop.

As far as Tommy (the younger brother); he is a sophomore in high school and I told John he needs to follow in his dad's footsteps and be a Cyclone. I get a smile and "we'll see". I told John, its a perfect fit, Finch will be a redshirt senior when Tommy is a true frosh at Iowa State and can come right in and take over for Ryak.

Of Course, Larson might have something to say about that if he is still at 125.

I'm a STMA grad and I would love to have some former Knights to cheer for.

John is a high school classmate of mine and we were on the State Championship wrestling team together in 1980.

I to would love to keep the Algona connection coming through Ames.
