    Starting line up for Iowa against cal baptist

    Amine has placed 7,4,4 ranked 3 pre-season. Beat Marinelli at NCAA ‘22. I wouldn’t call him elite (Carr and KOT are obviously the two best at the weight) and, Hamiti seems to be a bad matchup but, PK can beat anyone else at the weight. Certainly should be expected to get on the podium.

    Fargo-results only(hopefully...)

    22-23 Ayala/Cashman Schreiver/Ybarra Bennett/Henson (a year in the IA room could really help Drew) Murin/Reyna Rathjen/? Kennedy/? Wilson/Brands/Swafford (whoever wins here will be OK) Assad Warner/Glazier Cass/Costello Pretty good lineup for being fairly young.

    Trev prediction

    Not a big surprise as Trev was considered a possibility a couple years ago to take the AD job at his alma mater. I always wondered if a wrestler stole his high school girlfriend away from him. Manning should be nervous, not because they might drop the program but, might see a drop in support...

    If you can’t wear a singlet you were never man enough to wrestle anyway

    Old farmhouse basement. Did not normally wrestle down there as there was not much space. Did jump a fair amount of rope wearing insulated coveralls and winter boots. Most of the interesting scraps were after wrestling season when we had a little pent up aggression.

    If you can’t wear a singlet you were never man enough to wrestle anyway

    I have a twin brother We had wrestling/fighting bouts everywhere; living room, basement, barn (typical favorite), dorm room, wrestling room, front yard, and one particularly memorable one in a hog lot. Not once did I or my brother (as far as I know) think “ we should strip naked”. Never had a...

    NCAA Committee Rule Recommendations

    Go back and watch a Royce Alger vs. Kevin Jackson matches to see how stalling used to be called.

    National Seeds

    Maybe. I put seeds as I think they should be not as they will be. If he is #3 it’s completely undeserved. He has wins over 4 qualifiers but no one in the top 10 and he was the 15 seed last year. I would probably put him 6-7. No idea what I would do with Real Woods.

    National Seeds

    If common sense prevails ( which is always questionable ), this is how seeds should go. 125-#1 Spencer: 133- Fix, RBY, DeSanto, Meyers, Phillipi: 141- Eeirman, Lee, Rivera, Demas, Red: 149- a little trickier. O’conner & Sasso 1&2 in either order then , Mauller, Boo, a jumble after that. I...

    The best Iowa commit/signee that got away?

    Colby Covington, placed 5th in 2011. His points would have put Iowa within a point of Cornell ( in second). A couple of years under the Brands could have been good for him. Anthony Baldasaro , athletic kid who could have done well at a weight we needed. Also could have opened up recruiting in...

    Hawks Floor/Ceiling

    125- Suriano (assuming he is at this weight), would be the only concern. Arguably he is the guy who could keep Spenser from bonusing everyone and could be a stumbling block at some point. 133 DeSanto can wrestle with anyone here. I think Micic wins this weight over Fix. AD 3rd- 5th. 141...

    Patrick Kennedy At 157

    I think that Kaleb Young is a great guy and a very good wrestler. The fact is he had one pin and no major decisions last year. The result of his last 4 matches last season were a TB victory over Ryan Thomas from Minnesota (a redshirt freshman with a 11-10 record for the season) and three...

    4 Time NCAA Championship Hopes Alive & Well for Spencer? Div I Council meets mid Oct. Winter Sport Athletes Could Receive Add'l Year Eligibility

    Not sure why the simple solution of allowing everyone with a redshirt available to use it retroactively for last year (since there wasn't a championship), if they want to isn't the obvious thing to do. It is not an "extra year". If this year turns into a debacle due to Covid it could be...

    20-21 roster

    Don't recall seeing a roster up this early on the Hawkeye website in the past. Also seems more accurate then normal ( with the exception of Colby Schreiver listed at 147lbs; ie: no heavy weights list at 185 lbs) Items of note I am curious about if anyone has information. 1) Jaydin Eierman is...

    Rate Mike Evans' Career

    Agree, loved the tough guy attitude but the placing below seed at nationals casts a shadow over a career that I, along with many other anticipated when that class was recruited.

    I live in the twin cities. I would suggest PsU fans stay home. Won’t be F** for you anyway and not worth the risk.

    nationals outlook

    Based on what we know at this point. 125- Spenser Lee looks great. guessing Mueller is the 2 seed, Glory 3 and Picc 4. I think Spenser could pick up more bonus then last year but I will stick with the same as last year. Champ. 24.5 points 133- Some uncertainty here with Rivera being a little...

    Berge

    Feel bad for the kid. Tough injury with lifelong consequences. The more severe and the more repetitive the injury the harder it is to recover. Trying to get a year of eligibility back maybe the least of his worries
