Team Iowa Disney Duals Roster

[Spicolli]

A little revenge for Max... Courtney beat him in state finals..

Max Murin (Young Guns Black) over Brian Courtney (Middle Atlantic Blue) Dec 3-2

 

[HawCory]

I was rooting for team "Prestige Worldwide" lol.

 

[so cal hawkfan]

Not that rankings are the end all be all, but that win'll likely get Murin nationally ranked in the preseason rankings. Courtney is ranked #37 in the class of 2017 per Flo. Murin is currently ranked #81 in that class.

Puzzling loss for Young...Travis Stefanik (Middle Atlantic Blue) over Kaleb Young (Young Guns Black) Dec 3-1

I could be wrong here.

I think Stefanik was in the finals at flo nationals if not the champ.

Stefanik was the FloNationals champ this year, finished 3rd at PIAA losing to Hayden Hidlay 7-3 in the semis and also owns a 8-1 victory over Verkleeren and is ranked 13th at 152. Probably an even more surprising win for Shapiro than a surprising loss for Young.

The win Shapiro had over Stefanik is a huge win for him. We are used to seeing Young handle himself against good wrestlers, but the Stefanik loss is not a bad one by any means.

EDIT or what Mpchillin said seconds before me. I'll also say he is someone to keep an eye on..

Not bad losses, because both losses were to ranked guys and by close margins, but a step back nonetheless. If I recall, last year Young went undefeated at Disney Duals wrestling up a weight at 170. I watched most of his matches and he looked incredible. He also was a Super 32 Champ. Fairly significant upset losses and you can bet the Ohio Coach and the Mid Atlantic Coach think their guys had BIG wins over Kaleb.

Wait, are you saying to keep an eye on Stefanik? Or Shapiro?

Our coaches are already well aware of Stefanik

Stefanik is a very nice prospect, shooting up the rankings lately with some big wins but has always been a top athlete. QB for Nazareth, just really now coming into his own - he has grown a bit in the past few years and is really coming into his own. He really could be a great wrestler in college.

That said, I'm not sure that he will end up at a school like PSU or Iowa. He is an excellent student and if his other things fall in place I would think he likely ends up at somewhere like Princeton. But you never know.

He also has a little brother on the same career arc as him, maybe going to be taller. But he's also a top student

I have no idea where he will end up, but I do know that Iowa has at least "kicked the tires" a little. Certainly looks like a nice prospect

 

[pinters]

Wrestle 6-10 studs a lot of our guys did.
Im guessing most wont be at Fargo.
Go Hawkeyes
Jim Brown for President!!

I think the question everyone is wondering though is, is he coming into his own?

In my experience, only having my son wrestle once at Disney, and three times at Juniors- there was only a couple (2-3) quality matches once the team got to the Gold pool. Obviously, pools are set up to funnel the better teams, from wrestlers credentials, to the gold bracket. With the exception to that would be if in pool play a lesser teams hammer was at that particular weight- obviously. I truly feel Disney continues to improve every year on the quality of teams they bring in- so those quality matches could be growing to 4-5. It would be really nice if Iowa could Ever send a stacked team- all out hammers in one year. We continue to get to the Gold bracket, and a great run last year- but always seem to have holes.

Every year Junior Duals seemed to be a Grind from the first match to the last- IMO. There wasn't a break, or any "coast" matches. Our best year, my son wrestled 6 top 25 ranked kids at his weight- and the number 3 twice. So, out of eight matches, he wrestled seven of eight matches against top ranked kids. It's an Amazing tune up for Fago, and a great thermometer to see where your at.

Again, I feel there are great examples and reasons to wrestle in either and both tournaments. It would be so great if our states organizations could communicate and come to an agreement to wrestle a "True" National Championship Team dual meet. I put our hammers every year against any state! Who volunteers to start making calls? Haha!!

No Thomsen. That's disappointing.
