Pleasantly surprised to see that many starters there.
Oh No! Our Wrestler's are going to Wrestle? What the hell is this world coming too! LOL!
Love this lineup, let’s let the fur fly. Would have been great to see Murin also
Chuck,
I can't answer directly as I'm not sure..but the staff doesn't wrestle guys typically if they not pretty healthy..at least at this point if year.
Bull will be on a mission this year I suspect

Lee, Kem, Cass not a surprise.
No Murin or Brands less expected.

They really shouldn't go to this as they might get hurt and we can't take that risk.
Neither wrestled the other day but both were upright in the room. Dinged up I imagine.
Brands was sick for wrestle offs so no surprise there
guess i didn't have anything that important to do on saturday.
Would love to have seen Murin and Turk scrap. Bull vs P Kennedy worth the price of admission though
Don't take any potential match for granted. Not in this day and age for certain.
I believe Luther open was when/where Turk(RSFR) torn his shoulder in his first match of the year and was out the rest. That’s why he still has this year available.
I’d pay a lot more then the $10 it takes to get into the Luther open.
Not sure if they’re sending any starters, but ISU, UNI, Mizzu, Nebby, and Wisky will be participating as well.
Most of those teams have duals this weekend, so I’m guessing they’ll send redshirts. UNI has the grand view open listed on their schedule too.
Interesting that some of the seasoned starters are going. I may be misremembering, but I can't really recall upperclassmen going to these early tournaments.
Also see that Grandview open is same day. Does anyone know if some of the other guys might be going to that?

It's been a minute but they have. Guessing around 2014 or 2015.
See. Obviously we shouldn’t be putting our guys on the mat at all if we can help it. Find a couple fish D1 guys to take on during the year then hit the Big Tens.
What are the odds that marinelli and Kennedy would actually wrestle each other if they were to meet up?
Perfect time to see what's what...neutral gym after a couple of warm up matches.
I've always wondered what 2 bulls in a china shop would look like.
I guess I understand not planning to redshirt Ybarra if they plan to use him for multiple dual meets during the season, but why not keep the shirt on until absolutely necessary? Someone please enlighten me.
Probably wrong information. He will be in redshirt unless Spencer is hurt!!!
PK is redshirting as well, unless called upon.
New rules allow redshirts to attend in uniform.
Ybarra, Schriever and PK are all in the same situation

Do we know for sure that isn't happening? He doesn't have the * but that doesn't mean much right now right? It literally could be a typo. (no idea but it is possible) Cashman is still around too it appears, as far as filling in for Spencer. It could be a lot of things.
2016. Gilman, Clark, Carton, Sorensen, Kemerer, Gunther, Meyer, Brooks and Wilcke all won. Holloway took second at heavyweight.
Some guys don't want to be in college that extra year, and ultimately it's up to the individual if they want to redshirt or not.
Ybarra may see this as his best chance to wrestle varsity action as a spot starter for Spencer. Also he may want the experience of weighing in for duals and wrestling with the team to try to get a leg up on Ayala going into next year when the spot opens up.
