Optimizing Iowa's lineup

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

I believe this lineup would perform 3x better than the current lineup.  However, it would be contingent on some weight changes, some of which may not be possible.

 

125 Peterson 

133 Bailey (Bailey is a tiny 141 pounder and looks completely ineffective, 133 is his true weight)

141 Ayala (Ayala is a big 33.  Let him eat and have a better tank in the 3rd period)

149 Block

157 Caliendo (Caliendo to 157 was discussed in the offseason.  Would allow him to avoid Messenbrink and Lockett too)

165 Kennedy (Kennedy not a huge 174 anyway)

174 Arnold (Arnold is already on his way to this weight anyway)

184 Ferrari

197 Endene

HWT Keuter

Block ain’t going 141. The kid is like 6’ tall. And I’m not sure Caliendo can get down to 157.

Scotti Sentes was 6'2 and wrestled 133.  But in my lineup Block stays 149

If we're playing in hypotheticals, OKST could have won a team title this season if SVN, Mesenbrink, Haines, and Barr all would have transferred there.

Ok State will beat Iowa in the Feb dual if Farrari goes down to 174 and Endene to 184.  Make it happen Jimmy.

If Brody Grothus can cut to 141 then by God so can Ryder Block! (tic)

No fewer than 5 wrestlers changing weights. This is stupid even by your standards.

If Iowa is doing any sort of shuffling to be more competitive, they must have DeLuca in the lineup.

Jimmy got that custom wild card they give you now where he put down "Draw 20" or some BS.
