Guess Coach Smith has two options... wrestle him this year for extra points now, or... rshirt him with hopes he can potentially win 4 titles. Am I way off?
Scuffle
- Thread starter Jaybird319
- Start date
Brady: Let me be the first Hawkeye fan to welcome you to Iowa City and THE Iowa Hawkeyes. You will cherish the next 5 years in one of the greatest wrestling programs in collegiate history.
I'm sure your family, current high school teammates, and all Komet fans will enjoy watching you in a Hawkeye singlet.
I doubt Brady will be real interested in your ball-licking post after all the Gopher trolling you do 24/7.
Meant got beat out of the tourney...I'd still go with Guilbon. More upside if he can get his head right. This isn't the first time he hasn't been tuned in.
I agree it seems like a head issue. Then again he's a RS junior. Time to step up, no excuses. 4x PA state champ, you'd project him making more NCAA noise.
Good thing for me that I could give a crap what you think! Plus, it's fun trolling programs that envy the Hawks.
Penn State has some real issues if Jimmy doesn't pick up the pace and cutchens back keeps hurting. We have plenty of our own issues so welcome to the club I guess
We all saw how Nick Moore was a shell of himself from the previous season with a back injury. Situations where he would normally score on a single leg or high crotch he was getting overpowered easily and bailing out to give up the takedown.
McCutcheon was in obvious pain and toughed it out. Gave up an easy take down and then escaped and got the winning take down at the end of the third. I hope he takes a MFF the rest of the way.
Teams after quarters:
100-91 PSU over OSU.
Then Cornell and Lehigh over the horizon.
In the semis PSU 6 and OSU 6.
PSU: Nico, Conaway, Zain, Nolf, Nickal, Macintosh
OSU:Marsden, Crutchmer. Dieringer, Heil, Brock. Klimara
OSU also has JoJo smith wrestling 157 unatttached.
And no head to heads in the semis.

Looks like Papabear is a coach for Minnesota, at least that is what he told the official (Coach Larry Early or did I hear Coach Papabear first before he corrected by saying "Coach Larry Early") during his sons match which was delayed for 5 minutes while his son takes a Chance Marsteller breather.
Minnesota coaches can't coach the redshirts. I know you didnt realize that with Smith in his son's corner all season.
Ref called that timeout for concussion protocol after a head hit a knee. The wrestler repeatedly told him he was ok and ready to go but the ref said he was obligated under new rules to stop the match until a trainer and coach signed off. There was no fake shoelace tying, slow walks to center or refusals to get set like the wrestler you referenced.
Enjoy the Scuffle.
YOu did not read that on the PSU board. It was probably an Iowa alumni that ranked him.
Will be interesting to see how Smith does against Nolf. I'm also curious about the Retherford- Henderson final.
Happened on a mat return. Would have liked to see what would have happened with Garrett for a full 7 min.
Nickal over Realbuto 14-7 in the semis. It was a dogfight, Realbuto had nickal in a cradle, couldn't get backs on it, Nickal then put him on his back for 4 then opened it up 11-7, then cruised from there.
Man that Garrett is on a mission. Locks up that cradle slick from his feet was he cutting to much for 125?
He sure seems quicker
Penn State has this wraped up with 6 in finals.
Hate to say it but dam looks like Zain, Nolf and Nickal are like Taylor and Ruth.

Recruiting, unfortunately. Getting Kemerer and Marinelli will help, but we still need more to keep up.Man that Garrett is on a mission. Locks up that cradle slick from his feet was he cutting to much for 125?

Garrett has always been lightning quick. He simply outgrew 125 last season and the cut made him less effective. But he is not any quicker now.

PSU has been killing it in the recruiting dept. I've thought for some time that the recruiting rankings mistakenly overweight top 100 and underweight top 10. So when you look at 4 years from 2011 to 2014, d1 wrestling rates recruiting classes for PSU ahead of Iowa in 2 years and behind in 2 other years.
PSU had #1 recruiting class in 2014, #4 in 2011, #7 in 2013, and #17 in 2012. Iowa had #1 in 2012, #6 in 2013, #9 in 2014 and #20 in 2011. Sounds about even right?
Now the details:
If you look at top 10 all weight classes combined, you see PSU landed:
#1 McIntosh
#3 Megaludis
#3 Guilibon
#3 Retherford
#4 Nolf
#5 Nevills
#7 Nickal
and Iowa landed:
well... no one in top 10.
Iowa's #1 ranked class in 2012 had Skon #15 as their top recruit, followed by Gilman #16, #20 Brooks, #23 Clark, and #41 Meyer.
In 2011, PSU ranked #4 in recruiting, pulling in "only two" top one hundred guys in #1 McIntosh and #3 Megaludes. This was behind #3 Central Michigan, who pulled in 6 top hundred guys in #13 Hodgkins, #19 Horan, # 43 Pommerenke, #46 Kielbassa, #88 Ottinger and #98 Lucas Smith.
One can argue about the need for depth on a team and finding a not highly ranked hidden talent, and those are legit concerns.
But statistically, I think it's pretty obvious where the points are coming from in March.
Iowa has made strides in the past two years, getting Kemerer and Marianelli, both top ten guys, but the need to keep it up and get more imho.
Papa, that is what I find is funny, you called yourself a coach. Your son couldn't be coach by a coach. Also, usually the other wrestlers from the team that is there everyday in the room help coach the wrestler or the undergrad in the room like Chris Perry coaching Joe Smith. Just got a good laugh about it, you sure were fast talking when they ask you who you were. I understand why you said what you said, I've been there and said the same thing. I found it as a funny moment, nothing else.
