In my own words and not reflecting the views of any coach at ILL, I’d like to say that Ruth receiving an extra year was highly unlikely, to say the least. His chances, IMO, were much less than Sammy Alvarez at Iowa. Last year, ILL crowned Byrd as their champion, and I can.

Basch and Willie don't sleep on the ILLINI next year like the boys at FLO always do. The team is gearing up for an exciting season, especially after losing three key starters in Ruth and Braunagel. But fear not! Redshirt freshman Collin Kelly is stepping in and looks ready to.

Jake Knight is headed to Illinois. The two-time state champion and top available Iowan in the class of 2026 will be staying close to home to continue his wrestling career #IAhswr

I-L-L has been standing tall in Fargo for the past 10 years, but it always seems to get the short end of the stick in Fargo previews from multiple sites.
Average combined (all three styles & both age groups) team finish at #Fargo from the past 10 years. Head to the link in bio to see more data and where your state stacks up!
