The 40th Annual Cowboy Open will start on Saturday. I try to follow wrestling but admittedly not nearly as close as bball and football. I know about Meridith, Trout, Colgan and Ashworth but my question to those in the know is how does our incoming freshman class look. Do we have any highly rated guys coming in? I remember trout was a big recruit out of Omaha and a 4 time state champ before he had his accident. So I'm hoping we have some similar guys coming in. Thanks!
I doubt Trout cracks the lineup at 125/133 this year (but I could be wrong).
LanderPoke is absolutely right about Montorie Bridges...look for him to make an immediate impact and win the Cowboy Open as a Redshirt Freshman. He has future All-American potential. Let's hope he realizes that potential!
...Also, a couple of Wyoming guys that I think could really surprise this year. How cool is it that the roster is loaded with good Wyoming natives?
1) Trent Olson (Gillette) redshirt freshman at 125. He spent 3 years wrestling at a prep school and competed well against the best wrestlers in the country throughout high school.
2) Cole Verner (Green River) junior transfer at 125. He dominated the JUCO ranks at Western Wyoming. Perhaps he meets Olson in the finals at the Cowboy open?
2) Hayden Hastings true freshman at 165 (Sheridan) (I don't expect Hastings to make the lineup this year with Ashworth and Colgan in the way...but he is one of the best ever that I've watched tape of to come from Wyoming)
