125-Drake
Thought this line-up look curiously familiar. Closely scrutinizing the projected line-up for a second time, well good grief, it is more or less this year’s line-up?
At minimum, even with next years starters filling in for 125 & 174 so far, you’re looking at 40% turnover. Reality is we’re looking at 60%.
This^. Iowa is losing a lot of seniors next year but so is most of the big ten. Can’t tell you how excited I am for guys like Chad Red, Taylor Venz, Eric Schultz, Logan Massa, Stevan Micic, Myles Amine, Ryan Deakin, etc. to move on. Huge youth movement in the big ten next year.
No it’s not. Are you high?
With no Gable or Parris Cass will most definitely be competing for a title next year.
I'm not sure if this is English or not, but I'll try based on what I think you said.
Well we know one of you is, but it could be both I suppose........... 😏
Don’t think so:
we used to do this all the time during the title drought era. the reality is that finding aa's is really hard and it's far more likely that none of these guys come close, especially in that timeframe. rathjen is probably the best bet based on pedigree. i don't love that none of them are actually wrestling at 157 right now. there is nobody on this roster at 157 currently that shouldn't be recruited over if the opportunity arises until proven otherwise.
you're right. i was including this year in my count, mostly thinking in terms of "how many tourney's does he have left?"
All of them are a long long ways from a 157 AA at the moment.
2020 counting against eligibility and 2021 not is a mindf#*#. And who knows who will or won’t use the 2021 eligibility down the line. Lots of unknowns.
This unfortunately for us next year. 1 Spencer scores more than three Youngs at NCAA'S. A team of 6 hammers/3rd or better and 4 rd. of 16 or worse (3 or 4 points between the 4) still scores 125 plus points and blows out a team with 10 solid wrestlers that none make the finals. 1 hammer scores more bonus points than a blood round guy scores for the whole tourney. Like it or not, those are the facts.
Exactly, stars win titles. Look at Nebraska. Have had some really solids lineups, very good dual teams but not close to a title. Missouri would be another example to date. You need at least 4 guys scoring 20 plus points to even be in the discussion and another 40-50 points out of the rest. Guys like Brands and Murin need to take the next step. Even if you had all 10 guys score low to mid AA 10 points it's still not enough.
because iowa had 6 top 4 finishers and a 7th aa plus big bonus from lee, eierman, and kem. they had stars, bonus, and depth. psu had stars but no depth. only 2 low aa’s on top of their champs.
Ok, but they got little from the rest of the lineup Wich is why that lost. I said you needed the four 20+ guys to be in the discussion plus a bunch more from others.
