Bruschi Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Tsirtsis third place match yesterday against Chris Dardanes. He may have lost but really seemed to be the better wrestler. In the first match against Nick Dardanes that was a pretty even match. Nick just seemed to be a little more powerful. Don't have a link for that match but will probably be up soon. I think Tsirtsis takes Fargo this year if healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tsirtsis takes Fargo this year if healthy. Tsirtsis is by far aggresor in this match. Text book take down in the first but gets tied up with a push out. Although the final score didn't go his way, his technical advantage is clear. Dardanes needed the coin flip to score. I'm in favor of making it rock, paper, scissors to deside a match. What's the differance? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Both matches with the Dardanes show you the difference between an elite high school kid and an average college kid. The Dardanes brothers were not top flight recruits, but a year in a college room makes a world of difference compared to a year in a high school room.

The Dardanes brothers were not top flight recruits, but a year in a college room makes a world of difference compared to a year in a high school room. Y2, Agree with you that one year in the college room makes a huge difference. Hard to say if Nick Dardanes is an average college wrestler though he was just a redshirt last year. He was a top #20 overall recruit and ranked number #4 at 140 last year. Here is Minnesota's recruiting class a year ago. Nick won Fila Jr last year and came in second this year. But do agree that one year in the college room can make a big difference. Minnesota Top Recruits: (149) #15 Dylan Ness-Bloomington, MN, (141) #20 Nick Dardanes-Fenwick, ILL, (184) #57 Tyler Lehmann-West Fargo, ND, (197) #78 Scott Schiller-West Fargo, ND, (133) #81 Chris Dardanes-Fenwick, ILL, (141) #137 Seth Lange-Sturgis, SD After two seasons with D1CW?s top recruiting class, J Robinson and Co. check in this year at #5. Six future Gophers are ranked in the top 150 recruits, headed by Dylan Ness, little brother of this season?s NCAA Champion Jayson Ness. Speaking of brothers, the Dardanes twins (Nick and Chris), both Illinois State Champions, are aboard to man 133 and 141. The #78 recruit Scott Schiller was a late signee that will help bolster 197, a weight that has not always been kind to Minnesota.
