The Hawks have picked up there first commit for 2011. 2x South Dakota state champ Kris Klapprodt who is projected at 174/184. He picked the Hawks over Okie St and Nebraska among others. This should be a very nice pickup for the Hawks and it's really nice to have another body in the upper weights!
 


Here is some video from Klapprodt's state finals match last year for those that haven't seen him before. He is in the gray singlet.

Here is another video from Junior Nationals last year against highly regarded Nick Sulzer.

Wow

Is that a bit of a disappointment? I remember reading a year ago that he was a Hawkeye fan. I could be thinking of someone else but I thought it was him.

Are we in on any other highly regarded recruits?
 


I wouldn't expect too much in the recruiting front this year. This is kind of a down year and the Hawks don't have a lot of money to spend. I'd imagine that this class will be more unknown or under the radar guys that won't cost a ton of money. They should make another big push next year with some very good recruits coming up that they are interested in.
