Senior Nationals in Coralville:

[UndercoverHawk]

Nope he was supposed to win it all and got beat by a kid he should have beat soundly. Got beat pretty good too

Ah thought I remembered something nefarious happening. I’ve slept a few times since then.

 

[SPOONER]

Quinn isn't with the team anymore and due to "financial hardships due to covid" the university is on a hiring halt so we haven't been able to get a new S&C coach.

Thanks. Did these responsibilities roll up into the Olympic sports strength and conditioning team?

I believe he was wrestling with a significant injury at state his junior year.

 

[MVPFAN]

I think he got DQ while winning IIRC

No, he just got beat. Note I think Spooner is correct about an injury hampering him.

What about Chittum??

Rocco Welsh could be another guy to keep an eye on for that class. Not sure where he projects, maybe 165.

 

[edquinn06]

Think positive haha.

Hey I’m a positive thinker , but people here are gonna start pulling there hair out if they think these two are going to commit anytime soon to Iowa or any other school.

He looks good and only a sophomore this year. I'd guess he will be 165/174.

 

[Gobblin]

Don't Mendez and Chittum need to commit before we consider them for the lineup?

Yep. Early bird gets the worm... Along with another potential mind blower in the mix.

Really, really hope this turd’s tacky.

 

[wasdt21]

there's another henson out there who is pretty good and around those needed weights

Unfortunately Mendez is really interested in Ohio st for some reason. Would love to have him. Chittum is the one that is a must get IMO. He likes Iowa btw!!! Time will tell. If the both go to Iowa. That is a huge win!!

I’ll expect a hand written apology in calligraphy, a Hail Mary, and 6 carver cones.

I wonder why Chittum didn’t wrestle freestyle last weekend.

Should I expect the same for Eierman..

Just realized Hunter Garvin beat Chittum in Greco. Garvin took 4th, Chittum 5th.

 

[bman546]

If you watched the match between Chittum and Garvin in Greco, Chittum not wrestling freestyle, might be because of Chittum's shoulder.

I didn't watch, just happened to look at the bracket.

Looked like elbow

 

[west2east]

Chittum has a hurt knee so he didn't do freestyle.

I don’t do calligraphy...

 

[MVPFAN]

Ben Kueter moving up to 220 already.

Next year will probably be a HWT at about 230

Perfect trajectory in weight and grade to slide in for Cass after a redshirt year. Should be an athletic 250 + pounder by then.

Damn Iowa needs this kid badly. Gonna be a tough battle tho. They need to deploy whatever tactics it took to get Spencer. Love the way this kid wrestles tho.
Looks like Marinelli is enjoying a little time off. Looks 30lbs heavier. The Jr’s were so much more entertaining than the seniors. Not even close.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Mendez still has another year of high school. He will be a 149 in my opinion.

The answer to that question is simply yes lol. You definitely take this guy. The other guys will slot in where they can around him or if they’re at the same weight then they’ll most likely be on the bench.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

I get the impression from reading comments and seeing results... along with projections going forward, that Ybarra is going to have a tough time finding a spot in the lineup?

I guess if that's the case, a eventual transfer to ASU/NoCo might be in the cards? Please don't assume I'm ripping on the kid or writing him off.

Asu is loaded at his weight as well.
