Apparently, Mineo is reporting Suriano to PSU. Talk about a team willing to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to win.
With Suriano at 125, Iowa will be very hard pressed to win it all. I think Spencer still takes him out, but he is a very likely Finalist and almost assuredly top 4. That is a LOT of points they didn't get last year at 125, and would have been very close to covering the 15.5 difference last season.
Here is the side by side:
Iowa-----------------------------------PSU
Spencer-------------------------------Suriano
DeSanto------------------------------RBY
Eierman------------------------------ Lee
Murin----------------------------------Bartlett
Young----------------------------------Lee
Marinelli-------------------------------Facundo
Kemerer-------------------------------Starocci
Brands---------------------------------Brooks
Warner---------------------------------Dean
Cass-------------------------------------Kerkvliet
The past 2 seasons, Iowa benefitted substantially from transfers(DeSanto, Lugo and Eierman). Now, if this turns out to be true, PSU will have Suriano, Dean and Kerkvliet(granted he never wrestled for anyone else, just said he was going to for about 37 different schools).
