Thanks to everyone for the updates for those of us who couldn't be there!!!
Iowa wrestle-offs schedule of matches
- Thread starter Todd Conner
- Start date
Because I'm bored... ranking these by confidence:
1. (most) Bull over Brands
2. Stoll over Cass
3. Young over Glosser
4. Cash over Bowman
5. Murin over Turk
3-5 are going to be wild
I wonder what's gonna happen there. Wilson whipped Brownlee, Corbin beat him 3-2
Yeah but probably some room familiarity there as well as Glynn is not quite a rockstar but definitely no slouch
Something is up here Bowman and Wilcke were suppose to wrestle and didn't. I think Wilson will wrestle one of them tomorrow, possibly because of injury.
Stickley gave him all he could handle. Was tied with 30 seconds to go (but RT to Turk). The Stick was scrappy.

Kaleb was fast on his shots and decisive. Pretty impressive, given Moody’s success in the offseason. He was in control the entire match. I think Kaleb has finally found his weight.
I like his willingness to change weights to find his way into the lineup, Daryl Weberish.
I wouldn't bet on Stoll beating Cass.
Bold Statement considering Stoll is ranked #1!! But, I am with you!
Even if Cass does, no way you burn the shirt.
That something being up could also have been a misprint. Them wrestling each day didn't make a lot of sense, either. Could be other reasons as well of course.
I will be downright shocked if he doesn't beat Cass.
Turk only shoots straight forward, murin is ripped, young looked great, Nelson plays 2 4 1, Cass can ride. Gave 2.5 pounds today and 3 tomorrow
This is a real positive for the Hawks. Now the Hawks need to figure out 141 and 184. Liking the potential of this years team a lot. Go Hawks!!!
Couldn’t agree more. Even easily winning scrambles.
A post like this deserves an electronic punch in the face.
Probably the biggest take away from a team standpoint was Young. He looked like a true 157 whereas Moody looked like a big 165 trying to make 157...looked tired so maybe the cut is affecting him. Young kept shooting and scoring, taking chances, and had crisp, clean shots...at the right weight, he is who we thought he was to paraphrase Coach Green. Young is going to cause trouble.
Paul Glynn may not be an elite wrestler but he has elite level gas tank and kept it close vs DeSanto...DeSanto put a nice ride on him.
Stickley gave Turk all he could handle and Murin/Happel was a replay of a lot of their previous matches. Both Turk and Happel have talent but they don’t squeeze the trigger while Murin does. I think this weight will go to Midlands unless Murin puts it on Turk.
Pretty much the biggest takeaways for me. Great crowd.

Another thing that may have affected Moody’s tank a little bit was that he had a war with Kelly until Kelly broke in the middle of the third whereas Young walked to a TF. Still Young was far and away the better option of the 2.
Yup...might be something there with Kelly. Kid is athletic, strong but can't go 7 with a guy like Moody,yet.
So you laugh at most wrestlers when they prep for a match?
Watch Austin’s vision quest on Flo. If I did what he did I think I’d walk around with my chest puffed out for the rest of my life.
Any ISU fan laughing at anything related to wrestling is moronic at best.
You seriously can't get over something an 18 year old kid tried to do to the point that you will cheer against him? He's not the one with the problem.
Also, he was a brain fart away from AA as a true frosh but after joining the Iowa program he's a long shot to AA?
K.
Thoughts from today:
Lee is a bad man. Kinda feel bad for Perez.
Desanto looked good. Thought he would win by more but familiarity probably had something to do with it.
Murin is number 1 for us at 141. Happel would be number 2 for us from what I saw. Extremely disappointed in Turk.
Lugo owns the spot curious to see how he does against Kolodzik.
Young found his weight!! In his match with Moody I was surprised how flexible he is. His shoulder and knees shouldn't work like that. Actually Kelly put up a good fight with Moody. I was impressed with Joe true frosh against a seasoned vet. Was in deep a lot just couldn't quite finish. Like his potential.
Brands scored at will and seeing him up close is actually very entertaining. Will be interesting to see how he does against the Bull. I see now way how he gets down to 157 but he told me afterwords he could.
Cass looked good. Was close to a turn a couple of times. If he gets Stoll tomorrow then it could be interesting. Like Cass and his potential down the road.

I enjoy it that no one seems to realize Moody suffered losses to the likes of Brady Jennings last season. He's a freestyle specialist. Folk isn't his game at all. That's who he is.
Yes, this is true but it’s not like he would have gotten any better in a year .. you are right . I did see atleast one two point move out of moody against young
All student athletes deserve our support. I am pulling for Perez Perez even if no one else but his parents are.
Agreed he is a freestyle guy. A 12-4 win for Kaleb Young is a solid win nonetheless
