Well the rumor is Hawks are pursuing Binghamton, Augustana, and Lindenwood but agreed, Sacred Heart Seminary would be a step up.

Iowa 42, CBU 3
Hawks won 42-3. Murin wrapped up the meet with a 24-9 tech fall. Got 8 back points on two separate Turks.
Drew Bennet got a major. He looked pretty solid, had some nice attacks.
Teske won a narrow decision…I wanna say 6-4 with riding time. This was honestly the most competitive match of the dual meet.
Aiden Harris our 125 got ridden pretty good and was in danger of giving up a major until the CBU wrestler inexplicably slapped him. Harris also got out from bottom right at the buzzer. Good fight from Harris.
Agreed, I was overall pretty happy with our guys attacking consistently. CBU was outgunned and we didn’t let up. That’s what Iowa is supposed to do.
Looking forward to getting our 125 buzzsaw back, and I’m excited to see Real Woods as well.
157: Siebrecht looked good
165: Kennedy looked good
174: Rhodes looked good (never seen him wrestle before)
184: Assad looked "pedestrian"
197: Warner looked great
285: Cass looked great
125: Harris looked like a rag doll (never even heard of him before)
133: Teske looked average
141: Bennett looked good (never seen him wrestle before)
149: Murin didn't have a great match today, had to work hard for that
Assad, Teske, and Murin seem to have a hard time with clean finishes...they get "latched onto" or stalemated...burned up a lot of clock.
Nice job by Marinelli & Young on BTN+.
Good to see the new blood. Glad the season has started.

I agree with everything except Murin. He was steamrolling and looking to go up 6-0 when he got a little overzealous with the cradle, which can and does happen to anyone.
From there on out he dominated. How often do you see a techfall following an 8-6 1st period? He outscored Hallmark 18-3 over the next two periods and tallied 4 TDs and two separate 4 point near falls off turks.
Max wrestled the final five minutes exactly how he should, by beating the shit out of his opponent. I thought it was a GREAT response to early adversity.
Did you provide a live pbp for your buddy out of habit?
Assad may have “looked” that way but note his win over that guy was nearly identical score wise to AA Marcus Coleman and that same opponent.
Mentioned earlier, but CBU kid is a Buffalo transfer. I believe he was about 15-13 last season. We’d like to see Abe dominate, but kid at least had some survival skills and decent defense.
Harris showed good composure and let the ref take control of their whoever 25 pounder who has got some growing up to do. Looked like his coach physically shoved him out of Carver arena and was not entertained with the antics.
Assad just doesn't look like a winner and have no idea what the jr high kid was doing at 25
Acciardi is a funky kid. He has a weird style and is like a fire hydrant. He was a nationally ranked kid during HS. He won a NJ state title at 220 he was also a runner up
I thought they were good! Complimented each other nicely and you could tell they were having fun.
Marinelli is a natural, IMO.
Tarp, I'm usually in step with you but never have I ever seen a guy put up 24 points and someone say he didn't have a great match. 6 TDs and 10 NF points is pretty freaking strong no matter who you're up against.
My take away today is that it was nice to see turns and pins again. At the end of last year we had a team that was being held together with every piece of tape in the training room. Today we looked strong and mean minus a few weights.
If Bull and Young are correct the guy that Abe wrestled kept it close with Coleman from ISU last night so maybe he's just a level 5 clinger who makes it difficult to score. Abe did look more aggressive today so that is a bonus.
I thought they did a great job. I wouldn’t be upset if we saw more of them this year. A little rough on their transitions but very good. Ky did more of the pbp and Bull was more commentary. I think it helps that they know the wrestlers so well. They were able to talk about the ties that The Iowa wrestlers were good at.
I’d give them an 8/10 certainly better than most away meets announcers imo.

If that's aggressive, Assad and Teske are the most aggressive guys in the big 10, Really?
125- Harris is a Juco walk on and not sure he even placed at Juco so it is what it is. Considering the CB guy beat terukina the other night and terukina bear Wisconsin Harris hung in there. Where is Ybarra?
133- ok first match for Teske. The CB guy is one of their better wrestlers and beat Redding from ISU who just beat Lamont of Wisconsin.
141- I thought Bennett had a nice showing for himself.
149- Besides the slip to his back trying to pin Max looked great. Lots of offense. ISU was up like 4-2 going into the 3rd vs that guy.
157- CB guy is awful so hard to judge. I'm not sure Siebrecht is strong enough for 157.
165- workman like. A bit ho hum.
174- Rhodes had a nice showing for a true freshman in his 1st match.
184- see 165.
197- Warner ready to roll. Loved it!
285- took care of business.

I thought they were better than most Ive heard on BTN+. What was really interesting to me was some of the wrestling room talk. Funny how I can see Spencer and Cass ready to drill each other and Tom needing to step in and stop it.
Saw who I assume was Rhodes family go nuts in the front row. Momma was jumping up and down. Love those moments! Sounds like it was a lifelong dream to go to Iowa. Went to all the camps coming from Montana. And to go out as a true freshman and get a win in carver must be an out of this world experience.
Other than almost getting pinned by a guy ranked #68, it was a great match.
FYI, according to his bio he placed 4th at JUCO last year. I think everyone understands he's not a blue-chip recruit. And yet...he put on the Iowa singlet. He's gotta earn it and own it.He’s a backup who didn’t even place in JUCO last year. For Christ’s sake
Q1: What's up with Ybarra? Can he still make 125? He looked good in his last match against Okie St last year.
Q2: Can Ayala wrestle up to 5 matches this year without burning his shirt?
I think he placed 2 years ago. No Ayala can't wrestle without burning his RS. That rule only applies to true freshman
He placed 4th in JC two years ago. He didn't qualify last year. Regardless, I wouldn't expect the #4 JC guy to be a factor at the D1 level. And, even more importantly, talking crap about him is completely inappropriate. He's a Hawkeye, as you said.
