IA Wrestle Midlands Preview

[HawkTalk3]

I went through and previewed the massive tournament and gave my take on the Iowa wrestlers from each weight.

It looks like it's going to be a good one. I also included the true freshman that I think Iowa will send

Nice write up. Your spell check seems to be working better this year. Your grammar check could use a tweak.

Here's a link from BIG on how to watch The Midlands Live on TV and Online.

Thanks. I included the streaming info at the top of the post as well.

Pretty good. Brewer not going though. So I can see Clark vs Hall in the finals. Hall is dynamic on his feet, but Clark owns him on top so all Clark needs is a takedown.

Not that I'm completely disagreeing but if you look at their matches Clark has more takedowns overall.

Clark owns him.

Why won't brewer be there?

I heard the rumor of Brewer not being there too, but since I didn't really have much to go on I figured it's safer to include him than to exclude him.

 

[UndercoverHawk]

That wasn't my point. My point was Clark owns him period. He only needs 1 takedown and he can work on top. I'm looking for a major the next time they meet.

My guess would be that Hall won't take down against Clark ever again.

Saw on your Twitter Max Thomsen is going. Wonder if him or Kem will be able to place

Watch out for their hype train if they do. Those second 4 of DePalma, Clagon, Kraus, and Moreno are pretty tough.

 

[letsgohawks44]

I'll be interested to see how long does in the 41 bracket with jack and ashnault. Add in grothus and it's going to be a fun weight

 

[dirt33]

I think your write up was fine Hawk Talk 3.

Former Oklahoma coach Jack Spares confirmed that Brewer would be sitting out the Midlands.

Why would he plan ahead of time not to participate, especially if the team is participating? Makes me wonder if he's been nursing an injury or struggling with the weight cut.

He's ducking Clark obviously lol.

 

[Spoons]

Basically screws Clark out of any chance at the #1 seed in March!!!

No it doesn't.

 

[ChloeDancer]

Brewer only had 1 loss last year and was a 13 seed. He's already got 2 losses. If he sits out too many matches he will be in the same boat as last year. The committee hammered guys with too few of matches last year.

I'm more excited for that weight than I am for DT at 184

 

[burk11]

If Northwestern's 157 lbs Bryce Brill is healthy he will be a real problem/threat for both #2 Miller, and #1 Martinez. The guy is for real (if healthy? big question mark).

 

[HawkTalk3]

Guess this is not the final roster (as noted they don't have to finalize until tomorrow, but this was what was on today's press release).

No Brody.............gonna have to beat on HIWILLIE.

 

[gablefan73]

That list is what I was expecting to see, but I wouldn't have been surprised to see a couple of different names..

This is just mental warfare. Getting the opponents to think Brody won't be there, and then psych here he is and he wins.

 

[whejoe]

Must be a typo on the roster list as there is no st john listed...

 

[Kdezeeuw]

Here is what I found for Hawkeyes entered into the tournament:

Mitch Bowman
Sammy Brooks
Nathan Burak
Topher Carton
Cory Clark
Edwin Cooper, Jr.
Thomas Gilman
Paul Glynn
Steven Holloway
Michael Kemerer
Alex Meyer
Patrick Rhoads
Logan Ryan
Brandon Sorensen
Skyler St. John
Sam Stoll
Vince Turk
Cash Wilcke

Here is what I found for Hawkeyes entered into the tournament: ........

Hell of a list, a little bummed Brody isn't quite ready yet, but i'd rather him be healthy than just wrestle to satisfy the fans bloodthirsty appetite. Glad to see St. John will be competing (for the 2nd time ever in college?).

I hope our studs get it done. The young blood in the lineup takes some strides, and the redshirts have a great showing.

 

[whejoe]

I'm happy as a clam that St. John is listed.

 

[HawkTalk3]

Here is what was on Track wrestling

Kdezeeuw where did you find that list? It has +3 Bowman, St. John, and Ryan on it from the trackwrestling midlands list. Hopefully track is just missing them at the moment and they make an appearance. Or at least St. John.

 

[Kdezeeuw]

Got my list from TW as well. I can't reveal all my secrets, otherwise I'll be inconsequential. We can't have that now, can we?

 

[HawkTalk3]

Taylor's name is registered at 184 for any wondering if he would end up at 197 (which would've been pretty crazy all things considered).

Great article. A lot of great info all in one shot. The only thing that would be more convenient is if you would call me on the phone and read it to me. Nice weight by weight summary, keep up the good work!!!

 

[AFHawk86]

Interesting note that Paul Glynn is wrestling 133 for the first time this season, down from 141 where he had modest success at 10-6.

 

[CholleyVandine]

184 is going to be a meat grinder.The 2nd, 3rd and 4th wrestlers in the Intermat rankings will be there (Dechow, Stauffer and Nathaniel Brown of Lehigh, who isn't listed in the IAWrestle preview but is listed on Trackwrestling), plus a fairly accomplished post-grad and a very talented true freshman (Zahid Valencia).
