Tom Minkel Team Quotations

We wrestled a terrific dual as a team against Purdue, which is what we have been looking for all season. Everyone wrestled hard and we had some guys step up big at a few weight classes. Darren's match was really the marquee one of the dual, that is as good of a college match as I have seen in a while.

It was a heck of a dual. It was a real team effort and a good way to start off the second half of our schedule, especially after the long layoff we have had.

We are excited about Rashad joining our team for the season. He is a marvelous athlete and we look forward to him bringing the same as an integral part of our coaching staff.

In order for us to be as successful as we want to be as a team, our team really has to be aggressive and use our strength and power. We are still lacking in some areas, but overall we did better tonight with that, especially in the last five matches. Darren McKnight is really our leader in that department.
