Soldier Salute Lineup

You didn't like 2010? This team isn't as good as the 2010 team.
Horrible take. The 2019-2020 team had THREE #1 seeds in addition to a #2 and a #3. They also had one seed each 5-8. Their lowest seed out of 10 weights was a #11. This team isn’t touching that. Not even close.
Nelson didn’t come back to ride pine, but if gets legit beat out I get it. PK we would be burning a year, which would probably turn into 2 years next year. I would like Gabe getting experience in the starting line up each year he is eligible. Most importantly is Angelo’s individual career here, which you didn’t address. You know it would be good this year if he just AA’ed, but you know he will be a strong contender for a championship each year starting next year. It’s nice true frosh can get 5 attached competitions now. Worked well for Gabe last year.er Your probably right about next years team maybe not being quite as good. With only 2 true freshman at 197 next year, it will again be a big priority in the portal. Not sure what veteran will be available. This year I thought Buchanan would be great, but didn’t think it would happen. This team came together late in the summer. If we get Rocky Elam and Richie Figs it would be a great start. Getting Ferrari and Gabe both in the line up would help make up for the loss of the 3rd stud transfer. I have hope for Block after a year of experience and 1-2 weight class jumps. Taylor is losing some stud transfers also next year.

Dont forgot we are losing one of our better wrestlers to Rutgers as well.
I edited my post. I meant to type the 2020 and 2021 teams and yes those teams were great, championship caliber great.
I typed the wrong years. I meant 2020 and 2021 teams.
Well PK is showing up and Nelson is not. At this point it’s up to PK. Win and keep winning, and he’ll leave the coaches no choice.
I really would like an answer to why Nelson is not wrestling. I know it’s not for me to know but as a fan it’s a bit frustrating to not see a potential matchup with Nelson.
As for losing Buch, Parco and Teemer I honestly think we will be fine at 149 and or 157, and I really like the true freshman we “stole” from ASU.

He’s been dinged up is busting his butt to get back on the mat.

Nooooooo! Why do they use this crappy service?
My cousin wrestlers at Minny. I asked him about Gable, curious what he was like. He didn't have much to tell me and said he's rarely at practice.

Redshirts this year when he has a good chance to make a run at a title.
Only Stanford wrestler to travel to Coralville to wrestle at the Soldier Solute
===============
Works his ass off to graduate from Stanford before transferring to Iowa Al-a Real Woods
Just your run of the mill Sunday to Monday wrestling tournament. 🙄
Fact. No one can argue this point.
They did. It only shows number of entires now and it’s over 380, up from 340 and includes the women’s tourney.
I hope they took it down because they are going to run it on Track instead. Or at least the men’s side.
As it has been all along. But also showing on the other site that is terrible.
Really wanted to see Berge and Mcelleny at 184 against our guys in the semis.Here’s the entry listParticipants - 2024 Soldier Salute

This tournament is so weak. Basically a month off without any legitimate competition.
I would argue it is very slowly getting better. I’m actually glad they set this up and the midlands is fading away. They f***** that up the last few years.
Gotta disagree here.
There are a couple barren weights but other than that there are generally multiple ranked wrestlers and national qualifiers at each weight.
The highlights, based on a Quick Look at preseeds:
141 has two top 7 guys
149 has 5 guys ranked in the top 22, plus Rathjen.
174 effectively (with Kennedy) has 5 guys ranked in the top 24.
197 has 2 top 5 guys.
This is a fairly significant improvement over the first one they had, and is again better than last year.
Sidebar: looks like Army isn’t coming, or at least not bringing their best. I think they have in the past. They would add some nice depth to the tourney if they had their best guys there.
Right - kennedy put in work this summer in freestyle - good for him. Would like to see how his grinding style translated to 2-3 day tournament .
MSU158 says hold my beer.
Cardenas will be 157 not 174 .Here’s the entry listParticipants - 2024 Soldier Salute

Going to head out to early service this morning and then settle in for a couple of days of Hawk wrestling. Lets Go Hawks.
141, 142. Whatever it takes.
