Penn state fans being cringe example 2000000
Why did Mineo post Bishop McCort finished ahead of Hawkeye WC on social media? Am I missing something? My flo results say HWC took 1st.
Well, if one were to chart wrestling success and football opportunities to this point…..
Hopefully this is the type of criteria used by Ben and his family concerning the focus on one or the other sport…..
No I am pretty sure he didn’t wrestle in U20s last year. He was doing the football thing - which makes it interesting that he did it this year.
We are loaded at LB this year, so he wasn’t going to see playing time regardless of whether or not he wrestles at Worlds this year. But if he wrestles at Worlds, he may miss significant time in summer FB and beginning of the FB season (and perhaps delay his development as a football player). If he is really dedicated to have an NFL football career, wrestling at Worlds may be detrimental to that goal.
This could be an indicator that he is going to be more focused on wrestling. Or it could mean nothing. He may or may not even wrestle at Worlds.
It does make his developing story more interesting though. As a wrestling fan (more than FB fan), I would love to see him more dedicated to wrestling.
Post-match interview...some interesting comments here. I asked on the other board about how BK did in spring ball. Does he have a path to play at all? If he's not in the mix in camp does he pack his bags for Spain?
Nice. What did he weigh in at today?
….. and if I have to take a year off
of one or the other.
That's a good question. I wish I knew.
There's some juicy tidbits in that interview though aren't there? That should give this board plenty of ammo to talk about through the summer...
Weighed in between 225-230. Wants to wrestle at 240-245
He’s got a good head on his shoulders. I like his confidence too. Selfishly I want him to pick wrestling, I also think he could contribute this year. Next will be interesting. If he’s getting regular reps at Mike LB then I think wrestling gets a little tougher. This might be the perfect year to focus on wrestling. Become as good as he can.
Lot of really good MLBs have gone through Iowa.
Great young man. Easy to root for. Just keep chasing the dream. Like he said, 'It's only four years. There'll be plenty of time to sit on his @$$ later.'
It’s an interesting question (not here to troll, just talk wrestling).
If we assume Star goes 197 like he hinted:
174/184 have Barr, Ryder, Facundo as possibilities.
Star 184 (which I still think is most likely):
Ryder/Facundo at 174 (Barr/Cochran at 197)
Then I think if Star stays 174 you can pencil in Ryder RS. This is least likely imo.
Also there are some people close to the program who are saying don’t be surprised if Haines moves into 174 to make room for Kasak/MM at 157/65. That likely RS Ryder. Facundo shut out Haines in Free (yes I know there’s the style difference but it can’t be ignored).
Correct me if I’m wrong but BK is primarily seen as a Will LB, correct? I don’t follow Iowa a lot of I was just wondering so I can watch for their depth chart updates by position.
Not sure what you’re talking about. You’re posting like he’s setting the world on fire. He’s the 5 seed and lost in the quarters, as expected.
Glazier lost a single leg not once but twice in the 2nd period. Voelker never so much as sniffed an actual offensive point and celebrated like he won the NCAAs. Lol
The official on Mat 3 for the Ahrendsen vs Ortega match might be doing her first ever match. She does not appear to know the rules and relays on sideline mat side to tell her what to do. This includes telling her to blow her whistle when the wrestlers go off the mat. Embarrassing for USA wrestling to have this happen at this level.
It's still a badge of honor to beat a Hawkeye, even a totally average one.
He's actually scoring point on good dudes. Showing promise. Literally shows none of that during the college seasons
Rathjen V. Paniro this round should be a great test for Rathjen. Paniro just beat 4th place at 157 Cardenas pretty handily.
I guess if you’re willing to lower the bar far enough to say Serrano and Farber are “good” you have a stronger point.
He’s not going to place, just as expected. Nothing happened that says he would be any kind of upgrade at 133. Still far down the depth chart.

Phipps (Beat Ayala 10-8) pinned Nagao. Nagao was up 1-0 and then got exposed and pinned late in the 2nd. Nagao did hurt his shoulder in the sequence.
The title of the Thread is Hawkeyes at under 20's/23's. Not let's guess Penn State's lineup next year.
At least it’s wrestling and not the other bs that dominates any other devolves past 3 pages.
Angelo has been wrecking top level guys on the national stage for the last 4 years. He’s a savage. His frosh year he won the top bracket in the country - I believe it included Jordan Williams and another top 15 national recruit.
Kennedy v. Ramirez best of 3 for the world team.
Rathjen v. Ed Scott for spot in 3 place match
Ayala won by injury default over Nagao and is now sitting in the 3rd place match.

Will be really hard to wrestle at 240-245 if he doesn’t walk into the season around 260. Just getting into wrestling shape tends to shed quite a bit of weight for upper weights.
Phipps is definitely a bigger 133 sized guy that drake will have to get strong enough to contend with. Drake wrestled tough on the backside so far. Phipps beat his arse though pretty soundly - just gave up 2 takedowns in the end while he was leading big. Match was never in doubt.
