That lineup has maybe 3 AA's in it. Dark days ahead for ol black n gold.
Maybe 3AAs? What an absurd post
Gonna need somebody in the lineup at 57 and maybe an upgrade at 84. I don’t see the current version of Assad ever being an All American.
I’m going to miss Austin. He’s been a hell of an addition to this team, great Hawk.
Dark days are ahead. This year is brutal as it is with even moderate expectations coming in.
Need transfers at 41, 57, and 84
Lee, Murin, Kennedy, Warner, Cass.
That's without anyone else improving. If that's 3 in your math you needed different teachers.
Sorry in advance for the dumb question. Murin and Warner are listed as seniors on Hawkeyesports. How will they be back next year? I’m assuming it has to do with COVID, but I’m not sure how this works.
Yes, both have an extra COVID year available like Eierman, Kemerer, and Marinelli used to come back this season. Any athlete that went through the 2020-2021 season received an extra year of eligibility from the NCAA if they want to use it.
WTF? That lineup has 4 RETURNING AAs in it.
You start an account, don’t post for 5 years, and now post this? Did junior get a hold of daddy’s computer?
Second that. What a motor! I hope he breaks through and makes the finals..... and WTH why not go out an NCAA champ. Love that kid.
Don’t know about Michigan, but Penn State looking like nails for a few more years.
Kind of like I feel when I watch the Hawks continually fall short of expectations. Bummer.
Lee -announcing tonight he is going to PSU next year would tap off the weekend
Lol at anyone improving.......more like stay the same.
If they're good, they stay good not great. If they're bad, they stay bad.
And no that's not a 100% rate, but its definitely a majority rule at this point......
I sure hope Warner is back. He is not a fan favorite but he has been a very solid wrestler in a very tough weight class. Lee, Warner, Cass gives us 3 potential finalists next year.
We will need to add something at 57. Unless someone already in the room makes huge gains (either in skill or size) we don't have a ready-made replacement for Young. I don't see us adding a 74/84 transfer unless it looks like Brands cannot go next year.
I don't know if him or Assad will be AA level wrestlers but we need them both to make a huge jump next year.
Michigan loses Suriano, Massa, Amine and Brucki, so they lose a good amount. They’ve got some solid young guys coming in but 41, 74 and 84 could be question marks, maybe even 97 is Rogers redshirts.
3 is probably an accurate number for "sure" AAs. Lee, Warner and Cass. Murin has yet to AA pending tonight but even making it once doesn't mean he is a shoe in although I like his progress this year. The rest of them including Kennedy, Abe and Brands in reality have not provided results yet to say they are going to AA but hopefully a level jump and they can get there. 133, 141 and 157 have the most work to do.
Warner and murin have said they want to come back. but nothing is ever certain
No need to comment on Spencer, Warner, or Cass. I'm assuming those are the 3 "maybe" AAs that fearthefuture was referring to.
133: It'll be deep again, and there is no replacing DeSanto. Schriever is tough though and does have a win over Biscoglia and didn't back down to Byrd or Cannon. I'm guessing Ayala gets surgery and then redshirts next year.
141: Henson has as good a shot to AA as a freshman as anybody next year. 141 has a lot of really good guys leaving, and Henson wrestled Alirez and Hart close (until getting stuck by Hart). Also has a win over NQ Kinner.
149: Depends on if anyone wants to graduate or use their free year. Wilson is the only one who can't come back. Murin looking tough though. And if he can get that elbow back in working order...
157: Hopefully find someone to qualify.
165: Kennedy will be in the discussion with the other young 165 pounders from day one.
174: Brands isn't going to be a title contender, but he is a definite blood round guy, and he'd be someone I wouldn't want to see in the blood round.
184: Assad has the potential, but maybe not the discipline. 184 isn't going to get any easier. Amine gone obviously, but besides that, not much is going to change. Geer and Venz should be gone, so that is good for Abe.
IMO: 3 for sure AAs (barring injury) in Lee, Warner, and Cass. 2 probable AAs in Murin and Kennedy. 4 BR guys who could possibly be low AAs in Schriever, Henson, Brands, and Assad. 157 is the big question mark.
Not a favorite, but that group could at least make things interesting even without a transfer at 157.

Only Spencer. Ferrari will be ahead of Warner, and Schultz ahead of Cass.
