MLB9 Posted Friday at 11:39 PM Posted Friday at 11:39 PM (edited) That’s a solid squad, I would expect ~150 points. You would favor Ayala over Ono? I wouldn’t. And no Haines at 174? Not sure I understand Edited Friday at 11:40 PM by MLB9
Wrestleknownothing Posted Friday at 11:44 PM Posted Friday at 11:44 PM Only 6 transfers? 2 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

fishbane Posted Friday at 11:54 PM Posted Friday at 11:54 PM Why would Nichols go for Volk when he could go back the old ASU well and get Figueroa?

You hypothesize/project/prognosticate all the time. You’re doing it here assuming five 1st year transfers. Yet refuse to with this situation just because Ayala has made the finals? If you would be given one meelion dollars to pick the winner in January, you’d pick Drake Ayala over Masanosuke Ono?

I've seen Spencer Lee wrestle both Ayala and Ono. The results were just a little different.

dragit Posted Saturday at 02:21 AM Posted Saturday at 02:21 AM This is like all the Nebraska threads this month. Everything goes perfect for PSU opponent and not well for PSU and all you get is less of a blowout.

And Ayala would not be a favorite over Ono (reigning world champ at that weight class). Haines against anyone at 174 is not a tossup.
Gus Posted Saturday at 03:30 PM Posted Saturday at 03:30 PM If Iowas team transferred to penn state and penn states team transferred to Iowa then Iowa would be the favorite.

1032004 Posted Saturday at 04:15 PM Posted Saturday at 04:15 PM I think PSU will get 6 champs next year. 125 Lilledahl 133 Ono 157 Kasak 165 Mesenbrink 174 Haines 197 Barr Not super confident in Ono and Kasak, but Van Ness has a very good chance as well. They would beat the rest of the NCAA in a dual.
