Wow, there's something we haven't seen in awhile..."Headlined by ISU..."
pretty fair across the board. optimistic about some iowa guys (murin and PK top 4 in particular).
Other things of note:
Teemer is out with injury
no Lovett(redshirt?)
@smalls103 still the conductor of the Bartlett train😉

I would be pleasantly surprised if Iowa has 6 wrestlers finish top 4 this year.
Seems like Okie State has fallen off the planet.
Man, the drop has been fierce and quick.

@MitchLL You heading down to FL for that one?Wow, there's something we haven't seen in awhile..."Headlined by ISU..."
Read on their forum the wrestleoff results from last weekend. That super highly rated freshman from Michigan beat a likely career "room guy" 6-5 at 141. I know he'll improve, but it probably brought Clone fans back to earth on expectations for him.
And Broderson is still Broderson, got stuck by an undersized true freshman. I remember when he committed to ISU how we had a few posters on this forum lamenting that Iowa missed on him. Iowa didn't miss on anything there.
Dresser is in year 6/7? and they still aren't sniffing top ten at Nattys if the preseason rankings hint at anything. He's just lucky no expectations exist in Ames. He'd have been run out of IC with the results he's had at ISU long before now.

I love Abe. But 184 was really weird. and all you have to do to confirm is take another look at the consi side of NCAA's last year. Abe could certainly AA.
I actually think you’re right on R16. Just a joke between js and I. Lol
Lower end for Cass and Assad but higher end for PK and Murin. All seem pretty reasonable to me. 133 and 174 seem really hard to predict.
Hoping Schultz goes undefeated and gets the 1 seed with Cass getting the 4. I think he is in the finals with Kerk and wins.
certainly not consistent enough to predict it at this point, but he's got tools to do well. it just feels like we've been projecting that "next step" for a few years now.
Can you explain your thinking for Cass being 4th?
How do you see the seeding playing out come March and who would be 1,2,3 at that weight?
The way I see this is a complete tossup weight assuming Gable doesn’t come back. Parris has never lost to Cass, Cass has never lost to kerk, and kerk hasn’t lost to parris. Schultz is a wildcard who might pull the one seed given that he’s not in the big ten. I’m just curious to hear your reasoning on this one smalls. TIA.
That was me verbatim in 2021. Cass has earned the right to be the h2h favorite until Kerk gets a W over him.
Maybe to really mess with our heads this year: Kerk beats Cass, Cass beats Parris, and Parris beats Kerk....
Here's my rationale:
Schultz is going to be the 1 seed. his toughest duals are Elam and Fernandes and whomever shows up at Midlands (and that's if he doesn't do a euro greco tourney at that time)
the rest have gone back and forth.
frankly, i just kept it simple with those and went w/ latest results.
Schultz and Kerkvliet were both at Collegiate Duals last year and we know how that turned out...
Aren't there some other, better reasons?Willie needs kicked in the balls for having Abe R16. WE BOTH know better...
Certainly but you guys don't need me to point them out. Lol
Those were duals . If both enter the tournament I don't see either one defaultingSchultz and Kerkvliet were both at Collegiate Duals last year and we know how that turned out...
It would be the first time unless Im forgettingZeke having Schultz MFF out of a tournament???
That's because there is no need to MFF out of the PAC-12 Championships.
You see it all the time in the B1G.
In my opinion there is almost no chance Schultz takes the mat against Parris. He can't afford to screw the pooch on that #1 seed. Did you see Zeke pull the string on Schultz right before the match against Kerk? I'm not blaming Schulz. It's 100% Zeke.
Not sure what will happen. I was just pointing out that Schultz & Parris are scheduled to be in Vegas since that wasn't saidThat's because there is no need to MFF out of the PAC-12 Championships.

And I was being a wise-ass. (but am probably right none the less)
Cass is bigger he has put on some weight
You might be correct but I have always lived by you bet against a streak you only win once as opposed to the alternative.
