Let’s be honest

[RonaldMexico]

The best 184 lb does not wrestle. Lost to the four time champ on a BS call.

The best 174 lb lost tonight at 184 lb.

The 174 lb lost.

Makes sense if you don’t think about it.

Next year Gabe moves down, Angelo into 184. No reason to burn the shirt this year. Try to maximize the best recruits synching up for maximum impact.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

I do wonder if they would get more points in the NCAAs if GA was at 174 and AF at 184.
Nothing against PK, but I don't see him as a better option to score team points.

We aren't touching PSU, so why?

 

[Birky]

This. Why waste a year of Ferrari to vault the team all the way from second, up to second.

 

[Muscles1989]

No 25, 41, minimal at 74, hwt is stacked so hard to see much there and pry still top 3 but no chance to win it. So punt Ferrari to next year, get Gabe down, fill some holes and have a better year

 

[AFHawk86]

Unless…NCAA moves to 5 years eligibility.

Definitely a fact but I think you just ride the wave and save Ferrari. Could he win this year? Maybe. But it’s unlikely with Starocci, Keckeisen, Mcnelly, etc. save him. Let him loose next year. He could win next year for sure. See what’s in the portal and go for it. I don’t think Iowas best lineup beats PSU. Next year? Probably not but definitely more likely.

Also, to be fair. Allred is legit. That guy is a B1G champ with a lot of good wins. It’s the lack of offensive scores that’s concerning about Arnold

It makes no sense to pull his red shirt for one year. We need to eat our losses this year and build for the future.

This is what concerns me also… no offense from Gabe. Great opponent for sure and old 97er, but just need offense. Hope that changes at 74 next year.

I’d say it’s more concerning the lack of attempts + he couldn’t keep Allred of his legs.

Not sure why it would change much. He will win/lose the same amount of 2-1 matches whether hes at 65-73-84-97 with his style.

 

[smalls103]

i think Gabe simply had an off match. no one gets to his legs with anything close to the frequency Silas did tonight. it's simply not who gabe is. give him a mulligan on this one. sh*t happens.

 

[Inthecircle]

This is the first time I have ever seen Gabe fade in the 3rd period. He didn’t have a committed shot in the 3rd, again have never seen this happen.
If it happens at NCAA’s I’d be upset, not now.

 

[IAChief32]

We have guys wrestling up from their optimum weight at 57,74,84 and Nebby cut everyone down at those same weights plus their other ones 65 looks huge.

He wasn't moving his feet at all. The guy got to his legs at will. Plenty of work to do.

That's 3 in a row...it's not an off match, it's a pattern. I got called out for "throwing shade" at Gabe after MD match but no offense and close matches often lead to disappointing losses in March.

 

[DCHawkeye51]

We have plenty of talent. I think the coach needs to seriously look at his results, tonight Mark Manning got more out of his kids than Tom. These kids don’t resemble the Brands tenacity and dominance. Where are the takedowns where are the points. Our team is better than this!

Mannings goal was the keep every match scoreless until late in the 3rd period, and steal wins at the end.

I don’t disagree with your observation of Gabe. That doesn’t mean that what I said isn’t true.

 

[WildTurk]

Anybody still watching Purdue vs Wisconsin? The Badgers are terrible

Maybe it's simply the "Telford Effect"?

Buchanan is too good for the Telford regression.

The best 174 is Nelson and he's been banged up.
