Will Iowa place?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Right now it's looking like Bob spent $1,000,000 in NIL to buy 1 team point (Teemer and Parco).

Cruz is out.

Ayala and Kennedy are wrestling well.

Buchanan is dominating.

Arnold is alive.

Keuter keeps winning.

But Nebraska is on fire.

Iowa looks like they did last March.

Will they place top four with 3 finalists and Kennedy AA?

 

Dont know how the math works, but I’d say Gabe and Kueter will have one win a piece in the wrestle backs, Kennedy will place, and Ayala, Caliendo, and Buchanan lose in the finals.

Probably 4th it looks like. 5 AAs, 2 or 3 in finals. Kueter and Kennedy mid to low AA. Kennedy is in for a dogfight versus Norman tomorrow to AA though

Not an Iowa guy but Parco and Teemer getting hurt is pretty brutal luck.
 

I felt gutted for Parco especially seeing him after that injury tonight. The sport is unforgiving.

Will Iowa place?  There is still the category of "Best in Show" ... which also took place in Philadelphia.

Iowa dominance is a thing of the past and until dumb and dumber are gone, it won't be back. sad to say it but IQ matters and tom and terry are really just not very bright.

Will Braeden Davis get his 2nd NCAA title?

I doubt Tom Brands will be under consideration for "Mr. Congeniality".

Any company in corporate America with results like that would immediately fire all those involved. The Brands Bros Got To Go.

Amazing observation JC

It is very risky "buying" a guy for a year that is in his 6th or 7th year of college wrestling......the wear and tear on the body is real.........

Iowa has money to burn, and if they could develop them they would be way better off "buying" younger top level prospects off other programs........

Not a fan of NIL or Iowa for that matter, so would hate to see it, but it seems like it will unevitably be the trend........

Three finalists should be considered a great result. I would not care about team places if I had three of my wrestlers in the finals. Losing all three finals would suck though.

All 3 would be underdogs in the finals (assuming the 1 seeds make it through)

I agree with that. You get four all Americans with three finalists then it is a successful tournament. Especially considering injuries to two other potential All Americans. Ayala, Caliendo, and Buchanan will make or break Iowa’s season. If they only have one make the finals it is devastating.
