University Nationals
- Thread starter Squarehat
- Start date
Holloway @ 97 kilos definitely makes me believe we see him @ 197 after Stoll returns. Gotta believe that benefits him and the team most...
This is what I'm thinking as well. If he's disciplined all summer and keeps his weight down I have no doubt we see him at 197. He's going to be a handful at the weight.
I'm interested why we aren't seeing Kemerer wrestle at any of these events. Is he not a freestyler?
If he is going to go to UWW junior trials it wouldn't make much sense to go to Universities the weekend before. Not sure that is the case but it might be.
Who could blame a kid for just plain wanting a breather from competition?
Just because us fans are craving a fix doesn't mean we should expect athletes to put the whim of junkies over their health or other off season endeavors .

He might want to make some money and work a few camps as well. I know he's work one of the Luther camps in July
Kem isn't eligible for juniors, born in 1996. He may not compete at Universities but I'm sure he's training hard. He's a beast.
Iowa has participants at every weight except 125kg. Note that Gunther is wrestling up 11lbs at 80kg. Does this mean he plans on competing with Young for the 174 spot (vice Marinelli at 165)?
I'd be all in favor of this! Right now, assuming Young goes 174, he'd have no one else at his weight besides true freshman Myles Wilson. I'd like to see another body there to push for the starting spot, Gunther/Moody would be GREAT candidates.
Another question, for those that have seen, which of those two (Gunther/Moody) have the bigger build to handle 174 better?

Moody is the most exciting wrestler on the team. He's fun to watch!
Yes, Gunther is at the size to be a 174 plus the writing is on the wall. Its an easier path to try and be a starter by trying to beat out Young at 174 than cut only to lose to the Bull at 165. Young is taller and not as filled out, just really skinny kid still, so maybe Gunther is a bit more built now and physically likely to give young strength fits than the Bull but I think Young will be just fine at 174 and win the spot, but I do think he wont be quite lights this coming year until he develops himself a bit more in the weight room. But in 2 yrs from now at 174, I expect much bigger things for Kaleb.
Again we all just need to prepare for this next season as a slight step back and rebuild. 2 yrs from now when Spencer, Warner, Murin hit the lineups we need Kaleb to be there too. This year I'm not going to over expect too much from Kaleb and remind myself to be patient and not over react on his matches. IMO he will lose close ones to guys he will beat the next year.
The season can be salvaged if McKenna comes in at 141, and Wilcke/Holloway/Stoll successfully make it down(back to 184/197/HWT
Young and Marinelli were close this past season with similar results. Hopefully that bodes well for their futures.
FWIW, Gunther is undefeated against Young. Also in the opinion of the guy that called Gunther the starter very early going into last season, a starting spot is his to lose and I don't think he does.
Gunther is super hard to score on. Maybe Perry can help him with his top game, if so he could be a beast. I am still taking Young right now though. Whoever wins the spot will have to earn it.
I also said preseason Gunther was likely the guy last year. It wasn't because he was the top guy. Young has put on some noticeable good size, and has better offense. Their head to heads don't matter. Gunther will have to pull the trigger more or it will be an easy choice. I am putting Young as a strong favorite to be the man at 174. I assume you agree that Bull is the guy at 165. As usual may the best man win. I don't care who takes the spot.
