We’ve turned the corner in the college wrestling season. Mid-January means almost all attention is on in-conference duals. We’ll see #2 vs. #3 in the Big Ten and the end of an era in the EIWA. Both are among the five big things I’m focusing on this weekend. 5. Adds With classes starting in Iowa City next Tuesday, will anyone be added to the team? Amid months of speculation, Iowa skipper Tom Brands spoke at a press conference Tuesday and, when asked if the team would have any roster additions this semester he said, ‘We do not, at this moment.’ It’s not crystal clear, but it’s an indication that neither Anthony nor AJ Ferrari will be joining the Hawks after that seemed to be a foregone conclusion throughout the offseason, fall semester, and over the holidays. There have also been rumors and mixed messages regarding a possible Gable Steveson return. 4. Drops Does Daton or Vito drop to 125? With the Olympic Team Trials (April 19th) in such close proximity to NCAA’s (March 23rd), it could make sense for either to shrink down well ahead of time. Increasing the intrigue and plausibility for this to happen was Daton purportedly weighing in well under 133lbs for his dual last week against NC State, and Vito’s absence from the Big Red lineup. Vito hasn’t competed since December 18th and could be avoiding weigh-ins until he can make a weight that allows him to go 125 based on the descent plan formula. Recent quotes from Mike Grey indicate that Vito plans to remain at 133. 3. Mean Dean vs. The King Slayer Rutgers visits Purdue this week and it should be a good dual. But the marquee match will be last week’s #2 at 125, Dean Peterson, vs. this week’s #2, Matt Ramos. Other than what follows below, it could be the biggest individual bout of the weekend. 2. Huskers & Hawks Iowa hasn’t lost to Nebraska since Jim Zelesky’s last year at the helm. The next year, Tom Brands took over and the Hawks have won 14 straight vs. The Huskers. But Iowa lost six starters from last year’s dual lineup and Nebraska is reinforced with #1-Ridge Lovett off redshirt. The Huskers have a real shot to beat their neighbors to the east this year. It’s the premier dual of the week and will be televised on The Big Ten Network on Friday night. Here’s the projected lineups; picks in BOLD: 125: #5-Drake Ayala (I) vs. #7-Caleb Smith (N) History: Ayala beat Smith in 2022, 5-2. The Pick: Smith is much improved and could certainly win but I’m going with precedence. 133: #7-Brody Teske (I) vs. #30-Jacob Van Dee (N) History: Teske beat Van Dee two weeks ago 5-4. The Pick: They traded takedowns. Van Dee can win, but like 125, Teske is the safe pick. 141: #1-Real Woods (I) vs. #7-Brock Hardy (N) History: Woods beat Hardy 6-4 in the Big Ten Finals and then majored him at NCAA’s. The Pick: Hardy gave Real a good go in the B1G finals while the lopsided win at NCAA’s came in a match where Hardy broke his ribs. Gimme Real in a regular decision. 149: #12-Caleb Rathjen (I) vs. #1-Ridge Lovett (N) History: Never met The Pick: I like Rathjen. But with three-point takedowns and four-point nearfall, I think this is on the verge of bonus. Gimme a regular decision though. Something like 8-2. 157: #2-Jared Franek (I) vs. #3-Peyton Robb (N) History: Robb beat Franek last year in a dual while Franek returned the favor at NCAA’s. The Pick: On one hand, Robb won a controlling 7-4 bout in the regular season and Franek’s win came when PRobb had, literally, a flesh-eating skin infection. On the other hand, Robb just got beat by #12 Ryder Downey of UNI. It’s tough to call. I think maybe the Downey loss gets Robb refocused. I’ll take him by a takedown. 165: #7-Mikey Caliendo (I) vs. #19-Antrell Taylor (N) History: Never met The Pick: Taylor is one of the nation’s brightest freshmen stars. He wrestles fearlessly, so he’ll certainly give himself scoring opportunities. But Caliendo is seasoned- a returning AA and proven commodity. Caliendo is the pick. 174: NR-Patrick Kennedy or Gabe Arnold (I) vs. #30-Bubba Wilson (N) History: Kennedy majored Wilson in last year’s dual. The Pick: While I think Iowa may consider Gabe, it might not make much sense in this spot. Kennedy already proved he can get the win (and bonus), and both he and Gabe would be an underdog to Pinto at 184. 184: NR-Aiden Riggins or NR-Gabe Arnold (I) vs. #3-Lenny Pinto (N) History: Never met The Pick: If Iowa is in trouble in the dual, I could see them using Gabe, who, unlike Riggins in my opinion, has a shot to win vs. Pinto. That being said, I’d take Pinto over either. 197: #16-Zach Glazier (I) vs. #11-Silas Allred (N) History: Never met The Pick: Silas was the Big Ten Champ as a freshman last year with two wins over the defending national champ. WrestleStat has a major for Allred, but I’ll call it a regular decision. 285: NR-Bradley Hill or NR-Ben Kueter (I) vs. NR-Harley Andrews or NR-Nash Hutmacher (N) History: Never met The Pick: I think it’s going to be Hill vs. Hutmacher. Kueter’s probably not up to speed yet after his bowl game. I’d take Hutmacher over either, but feel Kueter gives them a better chance. Overall Thoughts: I have it 5-5 with Iowa winning the first two and Nebraska winning the last three. But beyond the individual match picks, many of which are toss-ups, I think Iowa pulls it out. The intangibles, ya know. Iowa always seems to get it done. 1. End of an Era Since 2002 only two schools have won the EIWA tournament: Cornell, thirteen times; Lehigh nine times. Their duals have been heated and often filled with twists and turns and the unexpected. The two may continue their rivalry in duals going forward, but with the Ivy League starting their own league this is the last dance under the EIWA banner. And you should tune in not just for the nostalgia - this dual is loaded with great bouts. At 125 Brett Ungar could see Luke Stanich, who just won Midlands. At 133, we could possibly see a rematch from the earth-shaking Crookham-over-Vito result from November, though Grey’s recent statement seems to lean towards Vito being out for another week or two. At 141, Hines and Cornella are ranked 16 & 17. Cardenas and Beard are #7 and #9 at 197, respectively. And #10-Taylor will face #19-Fernandes at heavyweight.

The year started with some fireworks, but we are in the heart of dual meet season now and it’s no secret that the B1G Ten dual meet schedule is considered to be the toughest around. As we inch closer to the NCAA Championships, there are a few duals on the way there that have our attention. Check out this week’s Conference Crossover Conversation with Holmes, Claunch, Sommer, and Wendell. (Holmes’ pick) Nebraska vs Iowa - 1/12/2024 With six potential matchups between ranked wrestlers, this dual meet is must must-watch this Friday night on BTN. The biggest bout will go down between #2 Jared Franek of Iowa and #3 Peyton Robb at 157-pounds. Robb is coming off his first loss of the season so it will be interesting to see how he bounces back against a very stingy Franek, who remains undefeated on the year. But things will be off to a hot start as #5 Drake Ayala is set to face #7 Caleb Smith in the first bout of the night at 125. Each team will feature a top-ranked wrestler at 141 and 149, respectively. Hawkeye senior and returning NCAA runner-up Real Woods is set to face #7 Brock Hardy at 141. In the following match Huskers’ #1 ranked guy Ridge Lovett will toe the line against #12 Caleb Rathjen. We will also get ranked vs ranked matches at 165 and 197 as well, but the potential for a heavyweight bout between Nash Hutmacher and Ben Kueter, who are both finishing up their freshman seasons on the football field. Hutmacher made his mat debut last weekend and came out with a fall while Kueter is yet to step on the mat for the Hawks this season. This will be the 35th meeting between the two teams with Iowa leading the series 26-7-1. The Huskers will be looking to put an end to the winning streak the Hawkeyes have put together where they’ve won the last 14 straight meetings. (Claunch’s pick) Michigan vs Michigan State - 1/14/2024 You have to love it when in-state rivals do battle. Growing up in the great state of Michigan, I knew several high school legends who ended up competing for these two programs and have always enjoyed watching these teams compete. Throw in the fact that these guys run into each other several times a year, and likely multiple times throughout their careers with their respective programs, and it adds a little bit of animosity to layer on top of the built-in school rivalry. At 157, you’ll get Michigan State’s Chase Saldate facing Michigan’s Will Lewan. Last season, Saldate got the win in the dual, but ultimately dropped their last match at the B1G Championships. Both matches went to overtime, so look for another close and methodical battle. Also, you’ll get Cam Amine and Caleb Fish at 165. Amine is currently ranked 5th and Fish is currently ranked 11th. This bout was close last year just like the match at 157 so the rankings aren’t much of an indicator here. Amine won in the dual 3-2 and took the match in OT at B1Gs. Both of these guys made the quarterfinals at NCAAs last year, and I expect they’re both looking forward to getting after each other again. (Holmes’ pick) Penn State vs Michigan - 1/19/2024 We all know about the influx of talent that Michigan was able to snag from the transfer portal masters during the postseason and it’s matches like this that they certainly had their eye on as they picked up those new additions. But it’s definitely still going to be a tall task to keep up with the everlasting powerhouse out of State College. The biggest bouts are at 165 and 174. At 165, #5 Cam Amine will wrestle #10 Mitchell Messenbrink. The Nittany Lion freshman came in with a lot of expectations and so far he’s holding up his end of things as he currently holds a 10-0 record and recently defeated Matthew Olguin by technical fall to climb into the top 10. This will be his biggest test to date. Then right after that, we get a pair of NCAA champs taking the mat against each other as top-ranked three-time champ Carter Starocci and 4th-ranked 2021 champ Shane Griffith are headed for each other. It’s been a tough year for Griffith, who is in his first season at 174 after making the finals the last 2 seasons at 165. Starocci, on the other hand, hasn't skipped a beat since winning his third title. In fact, he looks even tougher. A pair of matches that you shouldn’t sleep on are at 141 between #2 Beau Bartlett and #26 Sergio Lemley and at 157 where #9 Will Lewan will face #1 Levi Haines. Bartlett shouldn’t have any trouble, but I have to give props to the freshman Lemley who has looked good in his first season. And let’s throw the heavyweight bout in there where will we see #4 Lucas Davison take on #1 Greg Kerkvliet. This will be a good bout between two athletic heavies. Lastly, I’m intrigued by the match at 125. Braeden Davis has looked very good for PSU this season and will have his biggest test when he meets #3 Michael DeAugustino. P.S. Dylan Ragusin is back so be on the lookout for a supercharged version of the multiple-time NCAA qualifier to come out against Nagao. (Claunch’s pick) Michigan vs Rutgers - 1/21/2024 At first glance, this might not seem huge, but when you look at the matchups and rankings, this should turn into a very exciting dual. Assuming healthy and full lineups, we should get ranked matchups at 7/10 weight classes. Another interesting wrinkle with this is where the teams don’t have ranked battles, they look like they could be one-sided and dramatically affect the team score. The dual concludes with a showdown at heavyweight between Lucas Davison and Yaraslau Slavikouski, ranked 4th and 7th, respectively. I’m also very interested to see Mitch Moore and Sergio Lemley at 141. Lemley has had a great start to the season as a true freshman, and Mitch Moore has looked excellent in his final season of college wrestling. Will the grizzled and traveled veteran use his “old man” tricks on the young Wolverine? Will the continuous improvement efforts and youthful exuberance of Lemley get his hand raised in the end? Find out on January 21st on BTN+! (Claunch’s pick) Maryland vs Indiana - 1/21/2024 I remember where I was when I watched this dual last season. I was sitting in my van watching this on my computer while I waited for my daughter to finish basketball practice. It was a back-and-forth battle ending in a 5-3 battle at 149 between Graham Rooks and Ethen Miller. That win tied the dual at 16 with the Hoosiers winning on the tiebreaker criteria. I hope they start at 157 just so it can come down to the battle at 149 between those two again. Many of the same faces return, but the Terrapins also get Seth Nevills in at heavyweight. And Danny Fongaro has looked great for the Hoosiers at 141, so that battle with Kal Miller should be a fun one as well. (Claunch’s pick) Purdue vs Indiana - 1/27/2024 The battle for the State of Indiana! Like the Michigan vs Michigan State dual previously referenced, in-state rivalries always have a little extra excitement. As previously mentioned, Fongaro has been great this year, and he’ll be facing one of the young studs for the Boilermakers, Greyson Clark. One of the other ranked matches in this dual will be at 157 where Brayton Lee takes on Joey Blaze. Lee hasn’t wrestled much this season, but it would be great to see him take on the exciting freshman. In addition to the rivalry portion of this dual, the other intriguing piece to this is that it could be a tossup. Both teams have some strong wrestlers at weights where they aren’t ranked, so the score could get wild with this one. The battle for Indiana will be decided this year in Bloomington. (Claunch’s pick) Michigan vs Ohio State - 1/26/2024 The roughest piece of the B1G wrestling schedule is that some years this dual simply doesn’t take place. So with that being said, we need to really appreciate the years when it does. Both of these teams are in the top 10 with multiple All-Americans in their lineups and National Champion contenders. Rankings absolutely go out the window in matchups like this, and coaches look for every edge with matchups and lineup adjustments. This year the dual takes place in Columbus, Ohio, and the Wolverines head there looking to avenge their loss from the dual last season. Heavyweight is very intriguing to me with the tried and true veteran Davison looking great so far this season, and the exciting young freshman Nick Feldman looking like the real deal. (Holmes’ pick) Ohio State Road Trip - 2/2 & 2/4 February is the month of love, but for the Buckeyes, it will not be getting off to a loving start as they face Penn State on February 2nd and Rutgers on the 4th both on the road. As we know, Penn State vs Ohio State is an age-old rivalry that has given us some of the greatest sports memories no matter if you’re talking about on the football field or the mat. But unlike football, this rivalry has been all about the Nittany Lions. Then after their stint in State College, they head across the PA/NJ border to take on Rutgers at Jersey Mike’s Arena. The bouts at 133, 141, 184, and 285 will be the most intriguing here so make sure you don’t sleep on this one. Most notably, my question is what type of approach Jesse Mendez will have for the highly stingy and hard to score on Mitch Moore at 141. And this will be a particularly tough weekend for Nick Feldman who gets #1 Greg Kerkvliet followed by #7 Yaraslau Slavikouski. (Holmes’ pick) Penn State vs Iowa - 2/9/24 A week after hosting Ohio State, PSU heads to Carver Hawkeye and I’m already praying to the wrestling Gods that we get to see Gabe Arnold take the mat against Carter Starocci. Arnold had plenty to say about the three-time champ, who hasn’t lost a match since 2021. Now, we are hoping that we see Arnold, who still has a few dates he can compete, come out of the tunnel. The rest of the dual will be absolute fire too with top matchups taking place at 133, 141, 157, and 165. We could be getting an NCAA finals preview at 141 and 157 where the #1 and #2 ranked wrestlers in the weight classes are slated to hit. So let’s hope that this one lives up to the hype and we get the matchups we’re all hoping for. (Holmes’ pick) Minnesota vs Wisconsin - 2/16 When you look at this one it isn’t the most intriguing dual since we are devoid of ranked matchups. However, it has the potential to be a good one because despite there not being a ton of numbers next to guys names like in the other dual meets we’ve highlighted, the matches will probably still be very close which always makes for an entertaining dual meet. However, I’m hoping that the 125-pound match is the last one of the night. Patrick McKee and Eric Barnett have wrestled nine times throughout their careers. Nine times? Nine times. Currently, the series is 5-4 with McKee in the lead. Two of those matches came at B1Gs last year where McKee pinned Barnett in the quarterfinals then went on to lose to him 7-3 for 5th place. Four of McKee’s five wins over Barnett have come with bonus points with three of those being pins. It’s been a wild series so I really hope they end the dual with this match.

We're officially in the second half of the collegiate wrestling season and have a full schedule of DI duals this week. A total of 68 duals will be contested.
