Schriver at 106, capping off undefeated freshman year and start of possible 4x undefeated
Brands Lara should be good. I'll be cheering for the future Hawk!
Too early to speculate about four year undefeated. Teske this year for example was in danger of dropping one to West.
At 106 he could have some young studs move in and knock him off or he could jump up a weight and run into tougher competition.
The possibility is definitely there, do a little reading about all of his wrestling achievements the last couple years.
Not saying it's not but it's a long way to go. Teske had just as many and possibly more achievements at the same age and he still almost was defeated this year.
Horseshoes or wrestling? Almost doesn't matter...He didn't lose and that result is the only one that matters.
it's not to early to speculate about anything,kinda the purpose of this whole thing.
Any freshman who goes undefeated and wins the state title is automatically in the running and speculation for 4 time undefeated. There is usually only one or two kids a year if even that who manage to do this. They are deserving of the recognition. Until they lose, they deserve the consideration.
The wind chill was between 80-85 today down at the beach.
Wanna speculate what it might be today.............
I watched Happel get the crap kicked out of him by Bennett this year. I agree with the other 3 that you mentioned.
From their close match I'd agree. From a resume standpoint their not on the same planet.
I can agree with this. I think he's improved a lot since getting to NH but has to prove that on a national basis.
Are you sure its not the plague?I get the flu just from reading the posts here on HR from time to time.............
Happel is a quality wrestler but if not for the name you wouldn't likely have him listed here. He got dominated by Bennett. Biscoglia and Bennett both belong on this list before Happel.
Here's how I would rank the top p4p Iowa wrestlers:
1. Teske
2. Coleman
3. Thomsen
4. Schriever
5. Bryce West
6a. Biscoglia
6b. Bennett
7. Costello
8a. Wriedt
8b. Lombardi
9. Brands
10. Lyon
11. Leisure
12. Reeves

Really anything outside of Teske, Coleman and Thomsen is up for debate. I think the 14 guys on my list are certainly within the top 20 on anyone's list but the order from #4-14 can certainly be debated. Guys like Millage and Shiltz could certainly be added.
I just don't see Happel in the top 15 at this point.
A guy like Reeves is a wild card. I really wish he would have went 113 at Fargo last summer instead of 20. He did split with Teske last summer up at 20. He may have just won the toughest bracket in all classes. 113 is loaded. Bennett, Bris, Pritchard(beat happel), Faught, Doolittle, Reeves and Happel. I don't see Happel beating any of those guys. That's not a knock on him at all. Good things are happening in Iowa at the lower weights.
