thought teemer was only eligible 2nd semester?

Why would he have to wait a semester?  Isn't he in grad school at Iowa?

Bob Nicholls should send over a Brinks truck to wherever Ono is staying.  Iowa needs a 125 pounder...

He'll wrestle.  Bob didn't pay him $500,000 to sit in sweats.

I listened to an interview with Gabe Arnold from media day where he said 174 was a harder pull. So maybe he stays up at 184 even after this year, allowing Kennedy to slot in at 174 

Then what about Brands?

Who is a current U23 medalist and not starting on their D1 wrestling team?

P Kennedy

Hawk Item
• U23 National Champion at the 2024 World Team Trials at Spire Academy in Ohio
• Won U23 men’s freestyle national championship at the 2022 World Team Trials in Ohio

Why not get rid of AA altogether? Champion or nothing?

You know this, but for the people in the back: 

Kennedy is super unlikely to start this year. If he wants a starting spot going forward, 157 might be his best bet (weird take though becuz Idk if he can make it). I think Gabe and Caliendo are better so he is probably out of the lineup unless injury or weird eligibility factors come into play 

Imagine being a current U23 medalist and not being able to start on your NCAA D-1 team

I don't know what his plan is but if he is consistently losing to the starters at 165/174 then maybe he should strongly consider 157. I think he might be out of luck because I don't think he looks like a 157

Teemer is at 157. They didn’t pay him all that NIL to not wrestle him.

I would not read too much into that yet. He just travelled internationally.

So who does he supplant when he's over the jetlag?

7 guys have to fit in 5 weight slots.  Who will be the 2 odd men out?

You also forgot about Small Focus.

He's redshirting no?

Oh and I forgot about Teemer and Buchanan too on the bookends.  There's simply no room at the inn with all the transfers.

He is killing it in freestyle but does he even crack the Hawkeyes lineup?  If so, where?

I don't see where he fits between Caliendo, Arnold and Brands.

Did DT leave his shoes?

Yes I get freestyle is different but I wonder how a team of Japanese wrestlers would do at the NCAA D-1 level in folkstyle.

We already know how good the Japanese women are at FS.

Shut out by Sad, perhaps it's time for the Magic Man to hang up his cape?

74

Will Rutgers be a top 10 team once again?

He wants to be the next Yianni D in terms of being a 4x NCAA champ.  Marches to the beat of his own drum...I bet he ends up at Cornell.

They wrestled twice in an 8 month period (March and Nov. of 2023) and SVN won 7-2 and 5-1. Hard to say they're equal.

Except SVN suffered a major season ending injury since then. That’s why it’s = until we see that SVN is back to form.

Iowa might be one of Illinois’s top challengers here:

125: Peterson - RS FR

133: Ayala - 4th year JR

141: Block - RS FR (if Schriever - 5th year SR)

149: Parco - 6th year SR

157: Teemer - 7th year SR

174: Arnold - RS FR

Only 7th.

I believe he is 25 and will turn 26 during the season.

Oh, that is relatively young.
