Agreed, He has an edge we have not seen and I’m liking itReally like how Warner is attacking on his feet on not settling for the garden variety maj.
I think Abe is looking much improved as well, not quite like Warner, but showing some aggression. Hope he keeps it up.Agreed, He has an edge we have not seen and I’m liking it
Exactly what I said to my brother who couldn’t watch tonight. Abe looking lean, mean and unsatisfied with just the major.I think Abe is looking much improved as well, not quite like Warner, but showing some aggression. Hope he keeps it up.
That’s great to hear!!I think Abe is looking much improved as well, not quite like Warner, but showing some aggression. Hope he keeps it up.
I realize the level of opponents so far, but my eye test says Cass looks better than he ever has as well. Good weight added back on. Just looks even stronger.I think Abe is looking much improved as well, not quite like Warner, but showing some aggression. Hope he keeps it up.
Lee, Ayala, Burak, ???Grace was impressed with Army campus and the young people.
Martinson is another true freshman to wrestle for Brands.
I can think of four more. Can you name them?
Yeah he’s only wrestled for about 4 minutes so it’s hard to tell haha.I realize the level of opponents so far, but my eye test says Cass looks better than he ever has as well. Good weight added back on. Just looks even stronger.
Assad, Rhodes, KennedyLee, Ayala, Burak, ???
He def added weight. Agree with your dumb ass for onceI realize the level of opponents so far, but my eye test says Cass looks better than he ever has as well. Good weight added back on. Just looks even stronger.
I thought Kennedy only wrestled unattached.Assad, Rhodes, Kennedy
Little before brandsLincoln Mac
Wrestled Labriola during the free yearI thought Kennedy only wrestled unattached.
Didn’t Assad wrestle his true freshman year?Lincoln Mac
He did! I think he pinned Braunagel at Midlands and ended up starting after thatDidn’t Assad wrestle his true freshman year?
Yeah… That AF is casual as all get out.Must not follow the team very closely. There’s literally one guy making his debut tonight.
Odd comment is odd and quite frankly uncalled for. He’s one of the true frosh stepping up to the challenge with our top two guys out.
Dude, I will make up for for it! I will put all 38 names and faces on notecards and have my family quiz me until I consistently get 100%.Must not follow the team very closely. There’s literally one guy making his debut tonight.
It’s a long season. I’m sure Tommy, er, Coach Tom, sat this one out in order to pace himself. He’s not getting any younger.A few thoughts on last nights dual.
1. Tom and Teske weren’t there. I’m hoping this is illness related. I don’t see a reason why Tom wouldn’t be there and I’m hoping Teske didn’t pick up any new dings. If 133 is still an open completions with three matches this weekend it would make sense for Teske and Cullan to split matches. Cullan also had a redshirt available, I’d hate to see him blow it to cover for an illness, so if that’s the case maybe Ybarra should have went. So, I am a little concerned that Teske might be banged up. Coach Terry mentioned getting kicked in the balls over and over again referring to injury. I hope I’m not reading to far into this.
2. Speaking of Cullan I was a little disappointed in his attack rate. He attempted a few shots in the first period, but then kind of shut it down in the third. I thought that was odd given that his pace is a large part of his wrestling.
3. Cobe is gonna make a lot of people uncomfortable at 157. I maintain that he’s improved and 157 is a weak weight this year. He needs to show it continually moving forward, but I’m currently less worried about 157 then I am 133.
4. At 174 we saw the benefit of the new rule imposed this year. Martinson was outclassed but he’s what I would refer to as our emergency option. I’m assuming Drake Rhodes is nursing his finger injury, otherwise I would have liked to have seen him last night and tonight. I’m hoping Swafford is getting healthy. I was looking forward to seeing what he could do given extended time.

Rhodes makes sense Teske being absent did not. I would assume 133, 157, 197, and heavy would have backups. 133 and 157 because the spot isn’t completely settled and 197 and heavy for potential rest before all star dualsThey could only bring 15 to the NY events, the guys that are still day to day or just not ready to go just yet were not going from the get go. Also Rhodes dislocated his finger last week, so he probably did not make the trip for that reason.
Oh believe me I like it too, I wish the rule would have been around 18 yrs ago. I liked what I saw from Rhodes on Sunday and wanted to see more but I assume his finger kept him out.Since we do not have a true frosh horse at 174 in the stable, assuming we are getting the other two guys back at some point, I like giving multiple true frosh mat time in duals we are going to win big in.
Yeah I agree about Teske, he maybe dinged up, but the starter has not been decided and they are rotating so maybe they could only send one of them.Rhodes makes sense Teske being absent did not.

Teske not being there is a head scratcher unless he’s sick or injured. Terrys comments post match makes me wonder.
YesIf Teske got injured, it must have been at practice. He looked fine after his match against CBU. Hopefully it is just Schreivers oppurtunity to get up on the pony and ride. Im not sure but I dont think he qualifies for that true freshman redshirt competitions so wouldnt his redshirt be done for this year?
All questions were answered last year when he wrestled against NW and Illinois. He doesn’t want to be in college for 6 years. He did his time “redshirting” during the free year and now he wants to compete in these 4 years. He knew a starting spot at Iowa was never a guarantee and he’s gonna fight like hell to be the guy this year and the next 2 years before he graduates.If Teske got injured, it must have been at practice.

This. Cullen has no interest in a red shirt year.All questions were answered last year when he wrestled against NW and Illinois. He doesn’t want to be in college for 6 years.
