Currently, we are in the heart of recruiting season. Coaches have been constantly visiting the top recruits at their houses trying to convince them to spend the next 4-5 years on their campuses.

However, despite the coaches' best sales pitches, there are still some guys who have yet to commit. This weekend in Fargo we will see some of the best, and most sought-after recruits will be looking to pick up a stop sign. 

Here are the top guys who are on the radar of coaches all over the country who have yet to commit and will be battling in the Fargodome. Make sure to TUNE IN LIVE to see all these top prospects and thousands of other guys and girls in action this weekend.

No. 1 Sammy Sasso (PA)
Sasso has made a few appearances on the Fargo stage, finishing as a champ in 2015 and a runner-up a season ago. He has his list of schools narrowed down to Iowa, Ohio State, and Virginia Tech.



No. 1 David Carr (OH)
This four-time state champ (three in Ohio, one in Kentucky) and Cadet World bronze medalist has competed with the best and beaten some of the toughest guys around. He most recently placed third at the Junior World Team Trials, where he collected a very dominant 10-0 win over Iowa State redshirt freshman Kanen Storr. Right now, his official school list is a bit of a question mark, but you can assume that the usual suspects are on his list of suitors. 

No. 1 Pat Glory (NJ)
For the schools looking for a tough lightweight, check out this guy. Glory really had his stock go up with his performance at Super 32 last year, where he took out a ton of highly ranked competitors to sky rocket up the rankings. 

No. 1 Trent Hidlay (PA)
The man with the infamous underhook offense. Hidlay, a FloNational and state champion, has placed in Fargo in both styles but has come up short in his quest for a stop sign thus far. Hidlay could slide in nice as a 174/184 on the next level.

No. 5 Aaron Brooks (MD)
Some people like to stick their toes in and test the water, while others just make a big splash. Well, Brooks is the guy who came in making a big splash. A year ago, he set the Fargo stage on fire when he doubled up on titles to put himself on everyone's radar. Crazy thing about him is that he continues to jump weight classes and doesn't seem to have any issue adjusting. Even though he's wrestling 170 this weekend, he will probably go up to 182 for the season and eventually become a 197 on the next level.



No. 6 Tyler Curd (MO)
With a big Greco upset over two-time Cadet Greco world team member Cohlton Schultz and the slam that shook the Fargodome last year, Curd became a fan favorite pretty quickly. 

No. 5 Jace Punke (IL)
I consider Punke to be a bit under the radar even though he's pretty consistent. Last year, he was an All-American in both styles with a runner-up finish in Greco and sixth-place finish in freestyle. 

No. 2 Brayton Lee (IN)
Lee is extremely tough and really showed out at the Junior World Team trials in an extremely tough bracket. He may not have placed, but he certainly proved that he has the skills to compete at an extremely high level. 



No. 6 Brock Hardy (UT)
Hardy is a returning champ and multiple-time Fargo AA. Last year, he got some revenge over Sasso in the finals to pick up a stop sign. Hardy has also placed in Greco as well.

No. 3 Anthony Montalvo (CA)
Pretty interested to see him compete in freestyle. The California state champ is another guy who may be a bit more unknown than some of the others on this list, but he can surely compete and compete hard.
