Gotta admit...Iowa has a tendency to have undersized guys at many weights.
To me...that's a system problem.
Matcast with Sparks and Hidlay is great, if you don't mind the smaller screens. Currently standing in front of my TV like this
I'm with Ironside, while Cruz didn't win, he went down shooting. And I'd rather see that then losing without shooting.
Cruz going 0-2 as expected.
Drake looking sharp. Completely in control in his match. Hope he stays in his current headspace as he looks locked in.

9-2 with 30 seconds left in 1st period. Lets him up and proceeds to get 1 more TD over the next 4:30.
Returning champs who beat Iowa wrestlers in the finals getting whooped tonight! If that trend continues Star goes down!
Alirez goes down. That's two national champs losing so far. Can Starocci be next please?
I disagree a bit (I know with you that’s a dangerous thing) I think it is a technique issue…in some respects. You have to create angles, especially when you’re the smaller guy. He didn’t do that. Eventually McCrone got used to the shot, timed him up and folder him like a chair. At this level if you take 8 straight on shots to the same leg with roughly the same set up, you’re gonna get caught.
I like Cruz, love his effort and heart. Unfortunately he’s just not big or talented enough to contend right now, and baring improvement in both areas, I hope he’s not a factor in Iowas 125 plans next March.
From your lips to Gables ears.
lol, nice try. It’s not like they have guys that aren’t cutting weight and are undersized across the board. Cruz is just an anomaly. He is simply to small for the smallest weight class there is and he gets absolute muscled by guys that are walking around well over 140…
Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting
lmao of course
nothing like costing your team a point in consi r1 when your 29 seed is getting majored.
You know what I mean cause I've been bitching for awhile.
TOO SHORT...continually getting stuck underneath on shots.
Not talking weight.
LOL
Haha. To be fair when does Terry have mat control while he’s in competition mode. I don’t even care. I love that about the guy.
Any asst coaches in the portal?
I'm sure our Telford defender will be along shortly.
How old is the VomBaur kid? I don’t know why, but I like him.
I get where you are coming from but he isn’t a sweep single guy, nor is he lightning fast He DID hit some misdirection shots with his head inside, but McCrone is so much longer he was able to catch his ankle every time.
Where the size and strength difference matter is that Cruz did transition properly with his hands, head and hips, but he simply wasn’t strong enough to clear his ankle EVER
To be clear, he had more than sufficient position and leverage where MOST DI wrestlers clear that ankle and finish. He just didn’t have the strength to do so.
Now, I do agree that near perfect technique would have probably worked. But, that is a pipe dream to expect. When the size and strength gap is that large, technique gets beat most of the time unless the skill gap matches.
We haven't crowned a national or conference champion in 2 years, they ain't wrong.
Tagen Jamison loses 6-4 to Composto. Helps us for the team race.
