It's watching him wrestle for Illinois for a couple years combined with following him after he embarked onto the Oregon trail.

5-19 at Illinois - 31-10 at OSU, NQ ..... just a slight difference in the two trails.

Koy Busegens #4 he’s fun… but no way he AA

Koy Buesgens ranking is an oversight by all publications IMO. His best win is either Jaden Abas (who he split with last year) or Casey Swiderski who is outside of the top 10 by all publications at this point. Koy is solid but he's managed to climb the rankings by others taking bad losses.

Rocco Welsh. He had the easiest path to the finals possible and hasn't look dominant in limited action this year;

I still haven't seen why people think Zack Ryder is supposed to be so great. He's got poor offense, he just locks up and pushes 90% of the time. He should've transferred to Iowa. His best win this year was over the #37 guy (wrestlestat ranking). He looks like a R12 or R16 type guy to me.

No one is picking him as a title contender. He's only ranked #10. His two legitimate losses were within a couple points to Ferrari and Allred. He has a win against #5 Jaxon Smith. He had a couple good wins last year and has had a lot of freestyle success. He's still very young and people think he has potential

He's only ranked #10 now, but earlier in the season he was ranked in the top 4. He wouldn't be in Taylor's room if he didn't have potential, but that kid needs to work on his offense or he's going to be a career R16 or R12 guy.

The refs would've awarded him another stall point if he had kept attacking in the 3rd period

He lost to that mook from OU yesterday. Wasn't Catka supposed to be a "can't miss" guy?

I agree, I have watched Ryder several times this year, He just has no offense right now.  Welsh, probably rated about right, I think he has a good shot to finish 4th or 5th.

Neither of them are as dominant as Gable Stevenson.

Ayala and Caliendo are easily the most overrated.  The Iowa room is like dog years.  One year there is equal to seven in others.  Both will suffer from Iowa Senioritis and not even come close to sniffing the finals again if they even make it to the tournament.

You don't seriously think they'll miss NCAA's, do you?

Implication was injury from overly rigorous practice I think

The guy has lost so much weight I don't even see him on the mat!

They got worse as seniors, which was the point.

How did Kerk get worse? He had the misfortune of being around for Steveson's 11 years of eligibility and tore his ACL just prior to NCAAs.

no doubt not off to a good start but I think if he can stay healthy I think he can make a podium run in March...I think the year off has slowed him and he will be much better in 3 months
