    Michigan lineup

    For accuracy, Wilson was ahead by 1 point and the injury happened between the 1st and 2nd period.

    Hawkeye Open thread redux

    I wonder if they are making this a single day event now. It is only listed for Sunday on the Xtream Arena calendar and you cannot purchase day 1 tickets anymore. Also, earlier in the day trackwrestling showed 36 wrestlers in the Men's division with the following DI teams: Iowa (15), UNI (10)...

    anyone wanna talk about iowa wrestling's issues with race?

    If you include all minorites then there has been 4 minority starters(Lugo, Ramos, Marion, Cooper) in 14 years. If you look at any minorites on the team only Perez and Moody have wrestles over three years and wrestled a substantial number of matches. Brantley wrestled 1 match from 2014-2017...

    anyone wanna talk about iowa wrestling's issues with race?

    I can only think of two black starters in Brands 14 years at Iowa (Marion and Cooper). For comparison PSU had 3 black starters this year. Neither Marion or Cooper were recruited straight out of high school. I don't see any signs of blatant racism in the program, but it seems like a good time...

    Latest RPI had Griffith at 1, Wittlake 2, Marinelli 3 https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2020-02-27/ncaa-reveals-qualifier-allocations-2020-ncaa-di-wrestling Also, Marinelli's RPI is independent of Joseph having an RPI. From the NCAA manual "Each wrestler who has 15 matches will have...

    Shane Griffith

    Griffith is ranked first in the RPI. The RPI, undefeated record, and conference champ would give him enough points to jump #2 in the Big Tens.

    Dresser’s Tournament

    Coleman did not miss a single competition all year long. He never missed weight. He was 6-5 at 184 with losses to #1 (Valencia), #1 (Lujan), #8 (Morgan), #11 (Montalvo), and #14 (Carlson). He scored bonus point in 5 of his 6 wins. He wrestled a total of 20 matches (excluding the defaults). I...

    Slow news day ISU v MIZ

    The Hawkeye website had the fake news then: "Bowman was one of two Hawkeyes wrestling up a weight in a lineup that was missing five projected starters." https://hawkeyesports.com/news/2018/11/24/wrestling-depth-on-display-as-iowas-b1g-opener.aspx I was using this as an example where Iowa fans...

    Slow news day ISU v MIZ

    Iowa wrestled 5 backups in a home dual just last year. A lot of people were justifying it by saying it was not Brands job to entertain the fans, but to keep his guys healthy and ready for March.

    While we're waiting for wrestling to resume, let's change some rules

    A lot of people want the push out rule but how would it work with mat wrestling? What if you get an escape out of bounds? What if you get an escape one inch from the circle and the top guy can easily push you out. I would hate a rule that would discourage the bottom guy from escaping based on...

    ISU Meet

    What are the chances that Spencer Lee focuses on freestyle the first semester or does he wrestle all the early season duals? I assume if he wrestled any of the duals it would be ISU. If he wants to wrestle in the Olympic trials he would have to qualify at either the Bill Farell (November...

    Not true for Nate Carr. People still talk about his match against Zalesky.

    Kemerer

    I agree that the ceiling for a healthy Kemerer is top 3, but if he is undersized I see some match-up problems with him. McFadden is a 3-time all-american for a reason. Kutler is very hard to score on (he gave up 11 points in 6 NCAA tournament matches last year). Labriola made a few freshman...

    I'm Baaack... ISU review

    This was Willie's 7th year out of high school. He finished 7th-6th-8th-6th. You could argue he finished two spots higher than last year, but I would not give Dresser much credit for his all-american performance nor do I blame him for Willie "only" getting 6th.

    How long before next years rankings?

    I understand that argument but they both placed ahead of him at the last two NCAA tournaments.
