Is the level of injuries unprecedented in Iowa wrestling?

dude... you literally threw away every good point you made by saying "cassar top 5." Do better. And a healthy Conel... I think you're forgetting what a great athlete he is/was. Wrestling in that room, he would have been top 4.
And Abe was not AAing that year. It's still a close tournament. Both teams with likely 4 finalists.

Iowa
Finalists Lee, Lugo, Bull, Kem
AAs - Desanto, Young, Warner, Cass

Penn St
Finalists - Lee, Joseph, Hall, Cassar
AAs - RBY, Brooks (a possible finalist), Conel

That's about as close as it gets.

I wonder how Cassar would have matched up with Steveson and Parris in 2020. I feel like both of them stepped up their game that year.

Lol do better?

Also where's Chief with the "That's like.. just your opinion man" GIF?

Uhhhh... I'm thinking very clearly.

100%ish (for having 1 ACL) Lee dominating, Desanto top 3, murin r12-AA, Lugo finalist, Young top 6, Bull top 2, Kem top 2, Abe r12-AA, Warner top 5, Cass top 5.

Meredith nothing, RBY top 3, Lee top 2, Verk nothing, Pipher nothing, Joseph top 2, Hall top 2, Brooks top 4, Conel AA maybe (I think he was a huge lightning in a bottle/fluke), Cassar top 5.

Could they have won? Of course. But we were healthy firing on all cylinders, absolutely were the favorites, and they weren't touching us. In my crystal clearly thought out opinion.

Ill give you Cassar, he would have likely returned to the finals at least had it not been for an injury.

Surprising it wasn’t brought up, but Conel was a huge disappointment when he got to PSU. He gassed about as hard as anyone I’ve seen in a regular basis, and even before the injury it seemed clear he wouldn’t likely score much (if at all) at NCAAs.

He had the injury the entire time he was at PSU. He wasn't practicing much and then the shoulder popped out again.
