What will the starting line up look like now?
- Thread starter hawkeyefan201064
- Start date
I'm sure we'll get 4-6th place. I can see 6-8th place if we're banged up again. A little disappointed but I'm OK with it. I got my season tickets anyway and I'm still looking forward to the season. Looking forward to Hot Carl coming into town.

It is what it is. Everyone should have known the rules about gambling.
As Brands would say, "Next man up!"

*Injured currently
I’m worried about keeping Ayala healthy.
Well put an * on him.
Man I missed that. Great to start out the season with injuries and suspensions.
Lol yes the guy who sucked down and scratched and clawed to take 3rd at the ISU open last year is an “or” with Jared Franek. 🤦🏻♂️
He’s not seeing 157 again.
I'm not saying you aren't correct. I just thought he was healed up and ready to go, but I don't know that for a fact.
Well great, I’ve been trying to get my dad to like Trailer Park Boys for 15 years and now there’s absolutely no chance of me accomplishing this! Thanks a lot! 😆
I really don’t know how you could say this. I get that Riggins is younger and presumably has more room to grow but he’ll be coming up 20 lbs, if you’re assuming he’s gonna be an 84.
Swafford only has 10 lbs to grow and we’ve seen him compete and get some quality wins. He needs to prove that he can be an AA caliber wrestler, but after a few years in the room, closer to the desired weight and what he’s shown. I think he’s the guy to beat out. Maybe Aiden will and maybe he won’t but to say Swafford will never be effective is a ludicrous statement at this point imo.
I’m sorry. A mid level recruit wrestling up a weight class or TWO, isn’t a recipe for success. Evah….
Both guys certainly have some stuff to prove before we crown them. At this point idk how some one can definitively say that one is clearly the better option. Especially if that one is “less proven” and is coming up a legitimate 20lbs.
Really need to win the appeal on level of punishment - there’s guys that have been successful in reducing the severity in the past.
125: Drake Ayala, SO
133: Peterson/Cruz - teske if he’s healed and spent time in gladiator camp this off season.
141: Real Woods, SR
149: Victor Voinovich, SO
157: Jared Franek
165 : PK
174: Caliendo
184: Gabe Arnold - I would take Gabe over Assad regardless.
197: Kolby Franklin(what’s his off season been like? If on scholly hope he steps it up) or A.J. Ferrari
HWT: Ben Keuter, FR - if there’s a time to go it would be now before multiple seasons of Football.
I see 6 all Americans with questions at 33, 97 and heavy. And potential 7th AA at 84. If Ferrari joins that’s huuuge. We need Cass to win his appeal(knucklehead).
Also we should be able to coach up 2 AAs at 25&33 from the pool of Ayala, teske, Cruz and Peterson. Peterson had a great summer and Fargo. No one told him he was supposed to be a room guy…

I think Glazier is still on the team isn't he? I know little, however got to believe he's better than Franklin, giving his experience in the room, at this point. And Franklin's basic lack of success to date. Even though I see Franklin had a 4 to 3 win at some point last year against Glazier, I'd give the nod to him.
I hope his dad isn't offended, but Gabe is too short for 184.
As an example, he struggled a bit getting TDs against Naak last season. Naak is kinda your prototype 184. Guys wrestling at that weight are typically kids that are 195 or thereabouts before cutting.

Franklin has “a basic lack of success”? Has Glazier been tearing it up and I missed it? He got beat by Franklin last year. Glazier is small and would be wise to go for 184.
Flip a coin. Neither result is good.
The perception is he just got caught. No idea.
dang tang don't hear anything out of you forever and bang, love it and kind of agree with you
Glazier has definitely been more fun to watch. Strange - seemed like Franklin was a bigger recruit. Anyone know where he ranked in recruiting?
Definitely a risk putting him there at the ncaa level. He did wrestle 180 last year though right? Question is could he bring home hardware at 84. 174 ideal - he definitely looks more jacked than caliendo, pk, and swafford. Nelson’s only 1 inch taller and we were penciling him in as a potential 84
In nearly every case, short 184s can't finish takedowns if longer guys sprawl.
Add in the fact that most high school studs never had to go underneath in high school and have trouble on bottom as freshman...Gabe would struggle at 184.
Unless the plan is to just do the minimum number of matches to not use a year of eligibility, then fine, go 184.
Well, we have 5 matches to find out…
Here goes nothing…
125: Cruz to start then Ayala if he is back in time.
133: would like to see Peterson early and eventually go to Teske.
141: Woods
149: Would LOVE to see Block early and then go to Voinovich outside shot we see Rathjen at sometime also. Wildcard here is Ferrari not likely but a wildcard for sure.
157: Franek
165: PK/Caliendo
174: PK/Caliendo which ever weight PK ends up obviously he won’t start there. Could see Riggins or maybe even Rhodes if he is at 165. If he is at 174 I would Really would like to see what Arnold has at 174 and he has said he wants a shot at Starcrap.
184: This is a BIG concern don’t know for sure what they will do here. I guess maybe Riggins from some others are saying. Wish youngest Ferrari could wrestle.
197: I am hoping Franklin has improved something about him I really like. But more likely it will be Glazer. Maybe Glazier can make 184.
Hwt: Hill to start then let Kueter have a shot.
Champ/s at 141 and a shot at 157. 165 could AA, Likely AA at 125. Possible AA’s at at 133,149 and 174. If Kueter gets a shot I think he AA’s.
125: Cruz to start then Ayala if he is back in time.
133: would like to see Peterson early and eventually go to Teske.
141: Woods

Your handle gives your bias away just a little
Just sayin - so far Assad has been the same guy as his freshman year. A few moments of hope during regular season on flames out in March. Would love to see him prove me wrong but would rather see a blue chip frosh get a shot over him given known data.
He couldn't be --- that's Mark Hall's number!
Hi Coach: Is PK going to be big enough for 174? From my computer and TV screen he seemed to be on the small to average size at 65 last year. Did he do some major eating/weight training/packing on the pounds in the off-season? Just curious...
I think it depends on which Assad shows up. When he's on he's capable of being a top 5, but due to injuries, etc., he just wasn't on very much. And by on, I mean wrestling to his true potential.
