Way to go Willie. Hey @smalls103 , how much does something like that cost?
I find it so easy to dislike @smalls103 and then he goes and does something like this. Thumbs up Willie, nice work.
He is the son of Ben and Max Askren’s high school coach (Arrowhead HS) who is now one of the coaches at Askren Wrestling Academy.
I’m not going to lie and say the kid isn’t good, he is. I’m pretty sure I went on record that I was impressed with him as a true freshman. He moves well and fights for everything but he lost to a high schooler. I’m going to make fun of that like psu did to Assad. They’ve earned that.
Tough to have it both ways. Don't go for more points when you don't need them, but then also, don't play it safe. I'd rather them take some risks now and learn their gaps so that when it matters for their college career they have more confidence and mat sense. $.02
It wasn't just a bad gameplan, it was weird. He pushed him to the boundary multiple times, but didn't really try to get the pushout. If you're going to full Iran - go full Iran. He probably could have teched him in pushouts alone.
For what it’s worth and don’t know specifics but N. Jesuroga reportedly had surgery the day after he got back from Vegas.
Thanks for the information. On a related note Ryder Block had a wrapped up leg at state freestyle yesterday. Looked like maybe a knee. He won a couple matches and then forfeited in the finals. Seems like the plan was qualify and get out.
mesenbrink is in the transfer portal. i would imagine he’s going to mizzou but hard telling.
coaches should absolutely go after him hard. it helps that he's been wrestling 165 and mizzou already has O'Toole. i'd take him and bump PK to 174 in a heartbeat
PK IS OUR 165lber, I would say can he make 57 but Colby has been manning up nicely.
he can wrestle 174 next year. haven't seen that much of a difference tbh. and i prefer mesenbrink as a prospect. the coaches job is to improve the team. this would improve the lineup going forward.
Why? There have been discussions about him bumping up to that weight in the future. I’m not wild about pk’s length at 174 but I would take MM in a heartbeat.
It does suck that he’s transferring. I like smaller schools having skilled wrestlers. I guess with NIL he can make more money at blue blood type school.

this. i think mesenbrink has title contender ceiling. i'm not sure about kennedy. so i'd rather have a title contender at 165 and a mid aa at 174 instead of a mid aa at 165 and nothing at 174.
plus maybe mesenbrink ends up growing into 174. he was expected at 157 and is pretty lean so maybe he's still growing.
I believe PK is our career 65LBer and will be at his best there. I am curious why you think Mesenbrink has a higher ceiling at 65 then PK does. Like I said if we can get him I would bring him in, then let the wrestling decide.
Could be wrong but I view the chances of an Askren guy coming to Iowa as slim to none.
Yeah but We would keep our morals in tact while doing so. Did you see the guy on the bench squirting water into the Pitt guys glove, gotta love hockey players.That's a decidedly Penn Statish approach, wouldn't you say?
