B1G- Session IV Thread

I got shredded on here for saying Lee shouldn't go down but here we are - at Iowa we go down because that's what we do blah blah blah. I know wrestling is really hard and there is a lot of parody but man lets do some occasional game planning and thinking outside the box. Alright shred away...
I’m gonna do out on a limb and take a wild guess that maybe Spencer prefers to take down.

Kinda hard to argue with his results.
 
Hamiti reminds me of Wick. Long and dangerous on top. A lot of Bull/Wick in their (PK/DH) matches for the next 3 years. Unless Hamiti wants to transfer to Iowa and quit cutting so much and go 174 next year!?
Better yet, eat and lift to 184 so Arnold can man 174

Not really the point but ok. Was stating that Iowa doesn't really think about not going under a really tough rider when have had trouble getting out and have a better opportunity on our feet. Also when we try to go upper body with a guy who only knows greco. Just kind of stuck in our ways no matter what.

Hamiti wasting his time at Wisconsin is sad
Big recruiting miss there. Joliet Catholic kid with multiple younger brothers. Him and Hardy would look great in black and gold. Guessing Hardy would have no trouble making 149 next yr.
 
Penn State was vulnerable today. Too bad guys like Assad and Warner left a lot of team points out there.
I don’t think PSU wrestled down; I think Iowa was just that good/competitive, especially with all the bonus points. PSU has averaged 145.2 points at Big Tens in Cael’s nine NCAA championship seasons and scored 147.0 today. Iowa just put up a strong fight.

Our biggest recruiting misses were Sasso and O’Connor. And they grew up as Hawk fans. I’ll never understand TnT not even trying to recruit them.

Not landing Hoagie Hidlay or Bouzakis rank pretty high up there as well. Although, getting Hidlay was a very uphill battle with his brother already at NCState.

Still, if Iowa had 1, or even both, now they would be right there with PSU…

Our final places compared to seeds

Spencer: even
Teske: +1
Woods: even
Murin: +1
Cobe: -2
PK: +1
Nelson: +2
Assad: -2
Warner: even
Cass: even

I know I thought (hoped) we would perform much better in comparison to seeds, but it's not like we fell apart completely. I believe we also scored the most bonus points as a team.

We just don't have the high-end power to stay even with PSU
