TJ McDonnell's brother Khale McDonnell has committed to Oregon State and is projected as 197/HWT. Khale started this past season at 165 then went up to 190...you read that correctly. Khale finished 5th at the CIF CA state tournament after the big weight jump. This summer Khale wrestled very well at the national duals at 220 lbs, losing only one match along the way. Khale has a high ceiling and will be a highly ranked wrestler this coming year in CA at either 215 or HWT.

It looks like he's going 215 for Fargo; as best as I can tell besides him there are 2 other Beavs recruits going - Koy Davidson at 144 and Gage Singleton at 113

Khale McDonnell had a good first day in Fargo with consecutive 11-0 techs in under 2:35. No idea the quality of the opponents (unseeded kids from VA and MN). He's got the 23 seed from WI in his first match today.
Gage Singleton is up at 120 lbs and has a pair of 10-0 techs against unseeded kids from Iowa and Illinois. I know nothing about them except the Iowa kid has the last name of "Pins" which is great for a wrestler.
It appears Koy Davidson ended up not going to Fargo so no results from him.

Thank you for the updates. Was able to pull up Flo Arena. Both made it to R16 on the upper half of the bracket.

Gage Singleton is into the quarters w/ another 11 - 0 tech; this time over Pennsylvania. He'll have Minnesota in the quarters. Khale McDonnell hasn't gone yet in R16 but my mother-in-law is coming over shortly so that's probably my last update as I have to play nice the rest of the day.
Good luck to the commits and me haha

Lusiano Lopez of Lake Oswego also in the rd of 16 at 215lbs. Was 6A state champ last year. He's also a pretty good defensive end from LO and I believe we're recruiting him.

Gage Singleton lost his quarterfinal matchup to Minnestoa 18 - 8; dropped down and got pinned by Pennsylvania in the bloodround.
Khale McDonnel lost 10-0 in R16 to Missouri; and has won 2 straight on the backside (12-1 over Wisconsin and 18 - 8 over Wisconsin as well). He's got Nevada in the blodoround.
Lopez lost 10 - 0 in R16 and was winning 6 - 4 in consis when he was pinned by Missouri.

It was posted on the 24/25 thread. Any relation to Chase Saldate? Or the one time Beav WR commit Saldate? If he is related to Chase it's maybe a cousin? Chase is from Gilroy, CA and Manny is from Nevada. Intermat had this blurb today: #100 Manny Saldate (SLAM Academy, Nevada) Oregon State continues to reel in recruits from the Class of 2025. At this point, they have four Big Boarder’s and five total commitments. Nevada’s Manny Saldate gives Chris Pendleton’s squad a pair of wrestlers currently ranked in the top-100 nationally. Saldate is a three-time Nevada 5A state champion who is a fixture on the national scene. Over the summer, Saldate placed in both styles in Fargo, at the Junior level, taking eighth in freestyle and third in Greco. With those placements, Saldate has now gotten onto the medal stand five times during his Fargo career. Earlier this year, Saldate also finished in the top-eight in both styles at the UWW U17 Trials. He was a finalist in Greco and seventh in freestyle. It was his first time placing in freestyle after cracking the top-eight in Greco in each of the previous two years. During the 2023-24 high school season, Saldate was third at both the Powerade and the Doc Buchanan Invitational. The first few years of Pendleton’s tenure at Oregon State have produced huge recruiting classes, so Oregon State doesn’t have a pressing need in Saldate’s weight range (133/141); however, more talent across the board is always welcomed. Saldate, along with, #78 Adrian Reyes (Clovis, CA), #118 Koy Davidson (Fort Dodge, IA), and #148 Jeff Lopez (Clovis West, CA) give the Beavers a really strong start to recruiting in the Class of 2025.

FLO just came out with new rankings today- Saldate is #11 at 132, Reyes #5 at 175. Surprised Lopez didn't end up in the top 20. He was top 20 after he beat Cortez....but then fell out after not wrestling much this summer. A good class coming in for 2025 and there are some names in those rankings that have visited Oregon State and have still not committed anywhere yet. So you may see a few more nationally ranked wrestlers added. Our conference stinks...but the coaches have put together an awesome schedule and we see many of the top teams along the way.

Tell me more about the schedule? I feel like I've seen little tidbits here and there. Think I saw UNC is coming out here in Feb. conference does stink, but hey, AJ Ferrari is at Cal State Bakersfield (for now). lol
