Estrada doesn't want to redshirt.

Well, let's see him earn the spot then?

Wrestlestat favors Voinovich.

What about Paniro or Zerban at 165lbs?

Both are too small in my opinion

I don't disagree.

I do think they're better options at 165lbs, though.

I think Bates goes 197 and Hawks gives it a go at heavyweight (or just becomes the backup)

Flo seems to agree with you. I know rankings don’t mean anything especially right now. But I found it interesting that Bates is ranked and Hawks isn’t.

Hawkes over Stoner at 285lbs?

That was a thought I’d had, but Hawks is coming off a knee injury, to what extent I have no clue, but that big brace at the tail end of the season along with limited mobility didn’t look great. I’m not sure he could put on the necessary weight to be effective at 285. I’m intrigued on how it will play out.

Hawks is definitely not big enough for HWT. He did injure his knee during the Stanford dual. It's really not shocking that Bates is ranked and Hawks is not - he has only previously filled in at 197, and even those, he was weighing in around 184 to keep his certification.

Could be, but if Euton can stay healthy I know the staff really likes him. Issue is he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Regardless, lots of interesting weight battles will happen this fall in Ames

Brian Smith was just on FRL and it sounded like this is the projected lineup...

125: Mack Mauger

133: Kade Moore or Gage Walker

141: Seth Mendoza

149: Josh Edmond

157: J. Conway

165: Max Mayfield

174: Cam Steed

184: Aeoden Sinclair

197: Evan Bates or Colton Hawks

285: Jarrett Stoner

Sucks for Hawks...definitely thought he'd AA at some point in his career.

I think there is going to be some battles for the starting job at a couple of those weights

Where are you thinking? Will Rath challenge Conway? Will Stillwell challenge Stoner?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rath and Stillwell both RS, leaving a mix of Stoner and Jacobi Jackson to handle 285. I looked over the roster today, Mizzou sits at 31. If they are to be at 30, someone else will not make the cut. The black and gold could give us a better preview of what the team could/should look like.

I just watched coach Smith on FRL today. Obviously Hawks was wearing the big brace but I was unaware he too suffered an ACL tear. Probably was obvious, but still. I understand recovery is different from sport to sport, what’s the time frame for a wrestler? @Mhlm did he have surgery, if you don’t mind me asking?

I think the recovery depends on the individual - how they are with their rehab, and how their body does physically healing. 

Hawks did have surgery. He and KOT both had them on the same day. although they were both ACL repairs, they were very different injuries - that's my understanding. I have seen photos of Hawks working at some camp and saw a flyer that he is doing another one at a local HS next week.

Latest Iowa State guess:

125- Stevo

133- E Frost

141- Ech

149- J Frost/Paniro

157- Zerban/Paniro

165- Euton/Riggins

174- Gaitan

184- Dean

197- Elam

Hwt- Yonger

 

Most excited I've been for an Iowa State team in a very long time

I think when the dust settles we don't see Paniro in of the line up / frost and Zebran are  both AA -

Johnson just hasn't shown he can get it done in march

I thought the 30 roster cap starts the 2026-2027 year. Could be wrong on that.

You could be correct, just something I noticed looking over the roster.
