The match notes from the Hawkeye website only have Logan Ryan listed at 141. However, 165 lists Rhoades and Paddock. as possible starters.
The Gazette article on Logan Ryan pointed to a pretty good chance that we will see Ryan -v- Grosss matchup on Friday night.
I've been under the impression Ryan had the edge over Carton prior to the injury but I'm no insider.
Now that Gross is no longer an Iowa wrestler, I feel less restrained to say that his inability to keep guys off his legs, combined with his reluctance to initiate his own offense, drove me crazy. More often than not, his offense was letting guys get to his legs, working to get them extended, and then going around behind. He was a 3x Minnesota champ so I'm not saying he wasn't talented, but I was not a fan of the style (gimme Turk, Stoker or Kemerer instead) and I am doubtful whether it is a strategy for long-term success against top-flight competition. Whether it's Ryan or Carton, if they are active on offense and stay in good position, I bet they will have success against Gross.
Well, they split 2 actual matches last year in tournaments, the 1st Ryan won in OT, and the last Gross won by 5.
Turk also beat Gross this year 10-8. This match is a toss-up between two young guys trying to find their way in DI Wrestling.
I will not dispute. And I now realize the post I replied to was asking about Gross/Ryan not Carton/Ryan.
It would be Carton or Grothus if they were ready. Unless he actually finds a way to score, Ryan is taking himself out of the running
Every meet is on KXIC 800 out of Iowa City. And before you ask, you can't listen to their online feed during a meet. You have to sign up for all access through HawkeyeSports.com in order to have access.
