Those are two good wrestlers tho. And that is what Iowa is doing, hitting the portal hard. Gonna be a lot more of that probably. Ok State has a bunch of PSU "rejects" by your standards. I'm not on any play also, just don't think they're as bad as you do.

You're one of those

25- improvement. 41 - improvement. 49-improvement. 57-improvement. 84- improvement. 97 - downgrade from NC, but he's good! The rest are back, how are they not sick!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@!

I see improvement from this past year to next year. They'll score more points next year and prob take 3rd. They'll stay there too. NIL is going to slowly move the top 4-5 to the absolute top, and the top 3 will be PSU OSU and Iowa. Don't get me wrong tho, Iowa is def buying their way there, but they'll be there...

They added Jordan Williams, and Sammy Alvarez, both are AA caliber at 49 or 57. Bailey at 41, basically their starters last year become their depth behind the transfers at 41-57 this year. They add two of their recruits to the lineup at 125 and 184, Ferrari is an AA level, no idea on Deluca. And like you said 165-174 is loaded. They're def being outpaced by PSU and OSU, but I just can't say they're not improving. I'm not an Iowa fan though, so I would prob be agreeing more if I really cared if they won another title.

Iowas def not contending for first next year. But that lineup they will have is salty AF. It will be fun to watch them next year. It's OSUs moment right now, DT is the sexy choice right now. Iowas just steady improving to me, what should they do? I think doing some reactionary hiring of Askren/DT would hurt them too much in the short term. Gonna be a lot of good wrestlers in the portal next few years, if needed, but their depth is filling out too, albeit slower than OSU.

Kamal Bey went full greco

Haha. I know right!

Michigan here. Prob be Casey Cunningham for me, bring that PSU magic. His brother was a stud also, so they could easily have multiple locations like the Askren bros. Nick Simmons already has a club, we'll see how they do. David Morgan also has one now, he's not from Michigan originally though, I don't think.

Fischer was 4 time AA (4,3,44) I think. 3 time Big Ten champ. Also had a good freestyle career. Pan Am Champ i think. Last American to beat John Smith and Tom Brands, and had a great series with Cary Kolat. Kolat credits him as making him a better wrestler in the video below:

I've come to terms with it (Penn States dominance) and even rooted for some of them in this tourney. That said, I definitely think teams will challenge them going forward. Sure PSU reset the record for points, but it felt like the rest of the schools jabbed back some. Had a great time following the full team standings this year. While last year was a little depressing. Don't crown 'em for next year just yet, but they do look pretty good.

NIce List!! Though not quite on your lists level, and may have never wrestled free or greco. Mike Martin was a badass for Detroit Catholic Central in MI. Started wrestling as a junior, and won 2 state titles at heavyweight... do the math. He went on to be a star for UMich at D-Tackle and played in the NFL.

I like how efficient your sentences are.

Not sure he's big enough to tech Yianis brother. Calling bs on that one.
