Dan Ruettigger must be a red shirt freshman or sat out a year because he did not graduate this past season. Or let me say he was not on Providence's team last season. Seems like N.I.U. is young and that is good. Stay tuned as the next IMLive broadcast will be with Dave Grant -N.I.U. Head Coach.

good Luck to all in the wrestle offs

He graduated this past season. He lost his second match at state to Jeff Tharp but did not get a wrestleback. He was out at senior nationals with me and All Americanned.
