Per his X account Jacob Herm (Neenah) has committed to South Dakota State University
Another one flees the state! ugh!
Kids a stud.
I know he goes to Nazar and Askren, so who gets the blame for him not going to Wisconsin? Askren?
Congrats Jacob.
Did Wisconsin offer up on Herm ???

We really don't need to blame anyone. How about we give the kid and his family credit for exploring his options and picking a school/wrestling program that he feels comfortable with. The idea that every Wisconsin kid has to stay home is ridiculous and needs to stop. Congrats Mr Herm!

Doesn't SDSU have a brand new wrestling facility? Congrats to Mr. Herm too!
Good for him! Great coach, national results and very cheap tuition.
Best of luck. Hope it's what he wants in all aspects.

Here is a quick youtube video of SDSU new wrestling facility. Very similar to what the UW is working with ;)
Best of luck Mr. Herm
UW Program is a joke in so many ways. Facilities like they built at SDSU are happening even in some Wisconsin High Schools. The fact that it is not happening at UW is an excuse for more failure by the leaders of the program and those that follow blindly. The right person would find a way.
Was Herm on the National big board or anything? Forgive my ignorance on not knowing his credentials.

I did not know that answer but I looked it up. According to Flo not in the top 20 weight class or top 100 for class of 2025. I have no idea about any of the other rankings.

No...one time WI state champ. 2x runner up. Not sure on Fargo results...don't think multiple time AA or ever a champ. Please correct if wrong.
All the best to the young man - continued success to him. Love the Badgers but also love seeing Wisconsin kids move to the next level - please make us all proud!

"Please make us all proud." What does that mean, exactly?

Not sure of PAUL meaning but I wish all Wisconsin kids well at where ever they go and attend school! Fun to support them all to do well.

Definitely didn't mean this a bad way, as I said the kid is a stud. No one is staying home.
Terrible facilities, bad team, coach possibly on the hot seat, no RTC, little NIL money - what's not to like? Maybe it's not Ben steering people away? Who has gotten better in Madison? Cant blame him or any other WI kid.

Who has gotten better???
Eric Barnett reached is highest AA placement, 4th and the highest placement at 125lbs in WI history!
Shane Liegel went up two NCAA division's, beat several ranked guys during the season and was very close to a take down against the kid from Navy that could have made him an AA!!
Max Maylor, after 4 years had Michigan had his best season. He also beat multiple ranked guys and qualified for the NCAA tournament!!!
All three are Wisconsin kids. That is who got better, Mr Crazy!!!!

Eric Barnett was a 3x Time state champ, Super 32 runner up, Who's #1 champ, and Fargo champ. I think he had a great career and admit you can make an argument he got better, but with that pedigree coming in I think you can make an argument the results he obtained were on par with expectations.
The other guys you mentioned I guess I'm not referring to almost take downs and making NCAA's. My point is nobody, other then Gomez, jumped levels. They either stayed on their trajectory or regressed.
