I didn’t answer the question the way you wanted because I think the scenario proposed (Kueter wrestling only 5 matches) would be a poor coaching decision. If Kueter is going to stay in redshirt, then Hill should get all the scheduled matches (unless he is too ill or dinged up to go on a particular date).The question was meant to be IF Keuter only wrestles five matches, which five matches would you want him to wrestle. But of course, we can't answer the question. The realist in my wonders how long until someone mentions AJ at 285....
My thoughts exactly!Here is my thoughts on how this year plays out.
125: Drake is a title threat and I would be very disappointed with anything lower than 8th.
133: Teske will be the guy and will go 2-2 at best I'm afraid.
141: Woods needs to be a champ.
149: Rathjen goes and is a blood round guy, but could sneak onto the podium. Give him a whole B10 season to improve. RS Anthony Ferrari
157: Franek is a top 5 with a shot at Saturday night.
165: MC is the guy and needs to make the podium, which will be no cakewalk.
174: PK goes this year and it will be tough to make it past the blood round I'm afraid. Gabe RS and steps in as a title contender next year.
184: Riggins and we don't qualify.
197: Glazier and I think he is a legit AA. He has jumped levels and deserves the spot. AJ ORS if he joins the team.
285: BK gets some matches and they go with him if he is beating Hill in the room, which I hope he is.
I think they roll with what they have, which is a solid dual team. It will be a dog fight to get a team trophy for the Hawks. We need to get 125, 141, and 157 wrestling on Saturday night mixed with a couple more AA to have something to sell to recruits and transfers moving forward. Sorry for the long post.
He will wrestle some very large men, and will be under them as well.As long as he is 220, has the strength, and speed to cut the corner he should be good. More size would be ideal, especially without needing to cut so you know that is a true walking around weight. I think Ben will be just fine as long as he doesn't get caught underneath a 265-285 behemoth.
Absolutely. He moves like a 165 pounder.Kueter will be more athletic than just about anyone he wrestles. He’ll be just fine
If he’s good enough to leave for the pros early in a few years he’ll find his way on to the field.Will be about impossible other than special teams with 2 of our guys announcing a return.
He weighed in at 220.He's weighing in the 230's now. He's a 6 foot 3 linebacker so 240-245 would be ideal.
Apparently he eats like a snake.He weighed in at 220.
His mom said he was around 240 not that long agoHe weighed in at 220.
I just hope he can keep it to a regular decision, because we know starfish will be out to embarrass him.I would be shocked if Gabe does not get a shot at Starfish.
“We”.I just hope he can keep it to a regular decision, because we know starfish will be out to embarrass him.
I kinda feel the same wayI have a feeling we might see Ben wrestle tonight. No inside info, just a gut feeling.
If he’s good enough to leave for the pros early in a few years he’ll find his way on to the field.
Which is why so many were surprised he had just weighed in at 220.His mom said he was around 240 not that long ago
Most guys his size lose 8-10 in a practiceWhich is why so many were surprised he had just weighed in at 220.
Yes, I'm not arguing that part. Just saying people were surprised he had dropped back to 220. Seemed to have hoped he was at a consistent 230+Most guys his size lose 8-10 in a practice
Coach, are you announcing that Gabe is going to use the Red Shirt this year?Here is my thoughts on how this year plays out.

I feel like you are mistaking me for the wrong "coach". But to answer your question with no insider info, yes I think PK is the Hawks 174lber this year and Gabe RS. I also think we see Gabe another time or two yet this year as well though.Coach, are you announcing that Gabe is going to use the Red Shirt this year?
I know Gabe really wants a crack at Starocci but I would like to see him against Bernie in the PSU dual. I know he's not a fan of wrestling up at 184 but I think he could beat Bernie. I think we can get wins at 125, 141, 149, 165 and 184. Franek has an outside chance of getting a win as well. Then use his last date vs Illinois, Okie st, or Michigan.I feel like you are mistaking me for the wrong "coach".

Which five matches would you want to see Ben wrestle this year?
From wrestlestats.
Match Date Opponent Comparison Opponent's School 01/15 #28 Tabor, Bennett Comparison #15 Minnesota 01/19 #102 Ruhlman, Tristan Comparison #33 Purdue 01/26 #15 Luffman, Luke Comparison #23 Illinois 01/28 #49 Jessen, Jack Comparison #54 Northwestern 02/02 #6 Davison, Lucas Comparison #7 Michigan 02/09 #2 Kerkvliet, Greg Comparison #1 Penn State 02/18 #110 Christensen, Peter Comparison #32 Wisconsin 02/25 #18 Doucet, Konner Comparison #6 Oklahoma State
Kerk is 250 +/- this year. Sunday it was announced he weighed in at 252.
With that physique and buzz cut, he just needs the hat I would think he was a state trooper. Good first win and cant wait to see how he progresses. He seems very determined and ready to do the neccesary work.
That’s not Gabe’s dad. That’s ao_coachphil.Coach, are you announcing that Gabe is going to use the Red Shirt this year?
Lol huh? ….. figured it out. Reading is hard.That’s not Gabe’s dad. That’s ao_coachphil.
You think a wrestler’s parent would make predictions like that?
Honestly, that's not a bad idea.I know Gabe really wants a crack at Starocci but I would like to see him against Bernie in the PSU dual. I know he's not a fan of wrestling up at 184 but I think he could beat Bernie. I think we can get wins at 125, 141, 149, 165 and 184. Franek has an outside chance of getting a win as well. Then use his last date vs Illinois, Okie st, or Michigan.
I looked today and didn't see the Ferrari's enrolled at Iowa. I very easily could have been looking in the wrong place or it maybe too soon to be listed.Here is my thoughts on how this year plays out.

I could be wrong, but if AJ is taking an ORS I don't think he can be enrolled in school, correct?I looked today and didn't see the Ferrari's enrolled at Iowa. I very easily could have been looking in the wrong place or it maybe too soon to be listed.
I think you are correct.I could be wrong, but if AJ is taking an ORS I don't think he can be enrolled in school, correct?
