I don’t see Cali or Teemer sitting so PK can have 165.

Somewhat unrelated but your mention of watching wrestle offs had me wondering. Are there ever going to be wrestle offs open to the public again? I can see a lot of reasons not to, and Covid was the immediate reason to close them down, but I used to love going to watch those.
I would love to see him and a couple of our other fellas make that leap to the next level just like I've been hoping every year for PK to make that leap. If the Teemer/Buch deal is real, I think we can have one NC, five in the top 3, and three more AAs. And perhaps all 10 AA if someone steps up the way Glazier did last year. Long shot but not impossible...
Poor recruiting, resorting to buying other schools athletes and 1.5 points behind ISU in the team race is where you are at. You're right though I'm sure...Bob probably has you guys on a roll and I'm just not seeing it..
Oh and to answer your question, I'm not really a numbers guy so lets just go with the 16...

You're right! With 3 starters out we were only 1.5 points behind ISU. I knew we kept you around for the statistics we need! Penn State fans, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose!
Are the rumors about OSU staff pulling a Brands and going after Ayala true?
Not sure if this Portal thread is the right place for this since none of the guys being poached are in the portal.

Doubt Ayala would leave. Ayala is being compensated quite well at Iowa anyways.
And give up training with the likes of Spencer Lee, Desanto and Terry Brands for what in Okie St? I guess he could get nutrition expertise from the milkshake boy.
OSU has a good lightweight room. Gilman, fix, and RBY is about as good as it gets for training partners.
No I’m jumping the gun penciling him in but if/when he joins it’s one hell of a room.
Well, there are worse takes out there.
Not very many, and I don’t have any examples, but I’m at least fairly sure there are.
Might be wrong.
they also say on every podcast they do that they think he will be at 184. so clearly they know nothing or don't communicate to each other
they also have Drake and Braeden Davis ranked at 125. neither of which are happening.
Would become full brake defensive Drake in no time.
Emergency Brake Drake?
Prolly never. They don’t have any 133/141 recruits that can beat him as of now.
And blaze comes, he’ll go whatever weight he’s not.
I like Davis a lot. Main concern is between his ears. He wastes energy fighting with refs on calls. He needs to focus his energy better and trust the coaches to do their jobs. I take it to be a freshman issue. If he doesn't RS this year, I think he has a chance against Nagao.
Speaking of… how’s Nagao?!
That shoulder looked nasty at U23s. And it popped out in a pretty common position for him
Well if Bob and his money was worth anything, Iowa would have had a Braeden Davis or Tyler Kasak to step in for injured or poor porforming starters. But go on ahead with your bad self...
The guy loves him some Gilman.
Fix stay or go odds? No doubt both can cut to 57 kg but I don't think either is quite as effective as a Gilman or Lee. Unless they stay wanting to represent different countries, but you'd think they wouldn't want to be that familiar with one another.
RBY is Mexico so it’s not a problem. They need each other to get over the hump.
It seems more advantageous for RBY. Fix has to go through a gauntlet to make a US team. If he becomes the representative he has the potential to face the guy he helped along the way? Let's be honest Fix would wash RBY in freestyle at this point in time. Fix is also the odd man out with the current coaching staff. Not saying they don't get along, but they obviously have a lot better relationship with RBY.
Maybe Fix looks Irish? Possibly needs a dna test instead of trying to beat Spencer for the next four years.
Yeah it's a pretty big IF. That's why I'm saying what does Fix get out of RBY coming? RBY isn't as good at freestyle as Fix it seems.
So is Tiny Dancer gonna teach them how to wrestle 1 handed???
