In a change of pace before the college postseason gets underway, FloWrestling’s Night in America: Lee vs Ono freestyle event, pitted some of our country's top freestyle wrestlers against each other in a fun exhibition in Coralville, Iowa. Additionally, a pair of Japanese stars participated in the main event and co-main event against two of the best recent wrestlers from Iowa universities. The co-main event was an action-packed contest that saw Iowa State’s two-time national champion David Carr take on 2024 Olympic silver medalist Daichi Takatani at 76 kg. The pair started off with plenty of handfighting and fakes but no dedicated offensive attack through nearly the first two minutes of the bout. That led to the former Cyclone getting placed on the activity clock. With the :30 second clock about to expire, Carr struck with a low leg attack for a takedown and immediately transitioned into a leg lace. Carr was able to get a pair of turns from the leg lace and was suddenly ahead, 6-0. Takatani countered with less than :10 seconds remaining in the first period with a big double leg for two points. That narrowed Carr’s lead to 6-2 at the break. Carr showed no signs of slowing down in the second with a head fake and a snap down, followed by a spin and two more points with a takedown. Once again, Carr was able to take advantage on the mat and turned Takatani with a gut wrench. As he went for a second turn, his Japanese counterpart stepped over for a pair of exposure points of his own. Takatani was also able to work from par terre and got an additional two points from a gut wrench of his own. Even so, Carr held a 10-6 lead. Later in the final period, Takatani was able to shoot Carr outside of the activity circle and was rewarded with a step-out point. The 10-7 score was how the match would end as Carr evaded all offensive attacks from Takatani. In the main event 2024 Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee faced off with Masanosuke Ono, who was a U20 and Senior world champion last year at 61 kg. During his Senior title run, Ono outscored the competition 55-2 over the course of five matches, including a 12-0 tech over Vito Arujau in the semifinals. Despite having two of the most high-scoring lightweights in the world on the same mat, this bout was largely a defensive struggle. Ono’s three points all came from Lee step-outs. Lee received a pair of points for technical violations from Ono. One came from two hands locked on the American’s head while on their feet and the other came on a caution for failing to engage in the waning second of the match.

Now that we’ve finished the DI regular season, it seems like the year is just about over. Right? Only two more tournaments for each team. With about four full months of data points, we’ve figured out how March will play out. Right? Maybe not. We’ve used last year as an example. What did the landscape look like in the final week of February? How did it change from February to mid-March? There were some huge chances. At this time last year, there was some uncertainty about the availability of two of the sport’s biggest stars (Both ended up winning titles. Congrats Vito and Carter). Two tournaments shouldn’t change THAT much right? You might be surprised how much opinion can be formed or changed over the next couple of weeks. They always say that hindsight is 20/20, so let’s try to avoid looking at last season through the lens of what we know now. We’re getting into our DeLorean’s and traveling back to February 26th of 2024 to check the pulse of college wrestling fans. The eventual national champion at 125 lbs, Richie Figueroa, finished the regular season ranked #19th in the country. He hit a skid at the beginning of February that saw him lose three of four matches. He did show hints of righting the ship as he defeated Luke Stanich and Caleb Smith during the final weekend. Braeden Davis, the eventual Big Ten champion at 125 lbs, was ninth in the nation. In his final Big Ten dual of the season, Davis was majored by Caleb Smith. He later won the Big Ten tournament with wins over three straight past All-Americans. At this point, we were wondering if Vito Arujau would be able to get healthy or if he’d run out of time. Before the postseason, Arujau was 10-1 with a loss to Lehigh freshman Ryan Crookham. He would make the EIWA finals, but suffered a second loss to Crookham. A year ago, Little Rock’s NCAA wrestling history consisted of one win by one NCAA qualifier. That changed in March with two All-American finishes and a 19th-place showing as a team. One of the controversial or head-scratching moments in the weeks between the regular season and the conference tournaments was Iowa’s uncertainty at 133 lbs. We had Cullan Schriever listed as the starter. From what we understand, Brody Teske’s name was given to the Big Ten seeding committee - but it was done so after the deadline, which relegated Teskes to the 14th seed. Even so, he pulled a first-round upset over Nic Bouzakis and finished fifth, earning an automatic qualifying bid to nationals. Future All-American Vance Vombaur finished the regular season ranked #25 after compiling a 14-6 record. He started his NCAA tournament with an upset over #7 Cael Happel and took eighth. We all remember Tyler Kasak’s magical consolation run at NCAA’s. At this point, Kasak was ranked 9th and had a 13-3 record. He’ll start his second postseason ranked #1 in the country. Not all of these are about wrestlers outperforming their pre-postseason rankings. In fact, Northern Colorado’s Vince Zerban was undefeated and ranked second in the country at 157 lbs. The Big 12 Championships were not kind to Zerban, who suffered losses to Jared Hill and Brock Mauller on his way to seventh place. Casual college fans were still probably in the dark about just who Ohio’s Peyten Kellar is. At the time, he was ranked 17th in the nation. There were some signs as Kellar was riding a 10-match winning streak and his only two regular-season losses came at the CKLV to Will Lewan and Paddy Gallagher. Stud freshman Mitchell Mesenbrink finished the regular season undefeated but was still only ranked fifth in the country. The combination of the strength atop the 165 lb weight class (O’Toole/Carr/Julian Ramirez/Hamiti) and the fact that Mesenbrink didn’t hit any top contenders held him back from advancing past any of that big four. Perhaps the biggest story this pre-postseason period was the status of Carter Starocci. Anyone watching his season finale against Edinboro knew that he probably suffered a serious knee injury during his win via tech fall. But just how serious would it be? All of the amateur detectives looked for clues in the footage of the injury and any bit of information given by Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson. Of course, Starocci injury defaulted twice at the Big Ten Championships (was angry about doing so) and ended up winning nationals as the ninth seed after going through a gauntlet that included Mekhi Lewis/Shane Griffith/Rocco Welsh. Speaking of Welsh, he along with two other 174 lb All-Americans, Lennox Wolak, and Ben Pasiuk were ranked outside of the top ten. Welsh, the eventual runner-up, was 11th. Wolak, a national semifinalist, was 13th, and Pasiuk was 14th. Aaron Ayzerov had a confounding regular season that saw him lose seven times before the calendar turned to 2024 and nine times before March. But, he did have two wins over returning NCAA third-place finisher Chris Foca. That resulted in a #26 ranking. Ayzerov beat Foca again at the EIWA Championships, but lost to him in Kansas City. The Big 12 had a pair of undefeated big men in Yonger Bastida and Wyatt Hendrickson. Based on 2023 NCAA performance and Bastida coming up from 215 lbs, Hendrickson started the year ranked higher and kept that ranking until after the Big 12 Championships. At the Big 12’s, Bastida bested Hendrickson, 10-7. At Nationals, Bastida did not place and Hendrickson finished third. From a team standpoint, Penn State was the clear-cut #1 and it was evident that they would probably threaten the team scoring mark. After Penn State though, it was anyone’s guess. Iowa looked like a decent choice for runner-up. It ended up being Cornell who was fifth in our tournament rankings. Third place Michigan was ranked eighth.

The last week of competition in the Big 12 had some entertaining duals, capping off with Oklahoma State battling with Iowa. Iowa State and Missouri had an entertaining finish to the season, with both teams getting upsets and the Cyclones coming out on top. South Dakota State kept the Border Bell for the fourth consecutive matchup over North Dakota State. Northern Iowa completed a historic season, getting their most wins since 1988 with 14. Notable Results: Friday (2/21): Full Results Northern Iowa over Wisconsin (27-9) 165: Cody Goebel Dec. #20 Jack Thomsen (9-3) Lehigh over Arizona State (25-11) 141: Emilio Ysaguirre Dec. #29 Carter Bailey (4-1) 149: Pierson Manville Dec. #26 Malyke Hines (5-3) 285: #6 Owen Trephan Dec. #5 Cohlton Schultz (4-2) ASU is another Big 12 team that has struggled with injuries but had some bright spots here. Since returning to the lineup Ysaguirre has been competitive with ranked opponents and came through with a win here. Manville has stepped up the past three duals and got a ranked win here as a true freshman. Schultz suffered a small upset, with a big takedown from Trephan coming in the second to win. California Baptist over CSU Bakersfield (30-11) 141: Eli Griffin Maj. Hayden Zinkin (8-0) Not a ranked result but positive to see Griffin return to the lineup, as he hasn’t competed since Midlands. He’s another interesting piece in a stacked Big 12 weight class. Saturday (2/22): Full Results Iowa State over Missouri (21-18) 125: Ethan Perryman Dec. #32 Gage Walker (7-4) 157: J Conway Dec. #11 Cody Chittum (9-3) 174: #1 Keegan O’Toole Fall Cade Schmidt (6:24) 184: #10 Evan Bockman Dec. #9 Colton Hawks (1-0) 285: Seth Nitzel Dec. #26 Daniel Herrera (8-3) Two of the more banged-up teams this season squared off, with the Cyclones getting an upset at 125 and a bonus point win at 133 to pull away. Conway got one of the bigger upsets for the Tigers this season, getting takedowns in the second and third periods plus plenty of riding time for the upset win. O’Toole made his return to the lineup and got a fall, which tied the team score at the time. Hawks also made his return but appeared more hampered, choosing neutral in the third after a Bockman escape that decided the match. Then at heavyweight Seth Nitzel got the nod and avenged a loss from the Cyclone Open over Herrera. The Cyclones had success as well, getting upsets at 125 and 184. At 133, Garrett Grice stepped up in place of Evan Frost and was dominant, putting up 13 points before getting the fall to win OW for the final UFC Fight Pass dual of the year. Sunday (2/23): Full Results Northern Colorado over Air Force (22-21) South Dakota State over North Dakota State (23-10) 125: Ezekiel Witt Dec. #14 Tanner Jordan (3-2) 285: Andrew Blackburn-Frost Dec. #27 Luke Rasmussen (7-5) A late takedown by Witt flipped a November result where Jordan teched him. Similarly, Blackburn-Frost was majored by Rasmussen early in the year but avenged the loss here. West Virginia over Arizona State (24-13) 125: #2 Richie Figueroa Maj. #12 Jett Strickenberger (11-2) While not an upset it is notable as Strickenberger was having a strong case for the top seed with the win over Spratley and undefeated in conference at 125. Figueroa hasn’t seen the same opponents, but the win over Strickenberger could put him in line for the top seed at Big 12’s. Iowa over Oklahoma State (21-16) 184: Angelo Ferrari Dec. #3 Dustin Plott (SV-1 6-3) Every match was big in a dual like this, but it was pretty chalk outside of this upset. The Cowboys got bonus points at 125, 141, and heavyweight compared to the Hawkeyes getting them at 133, 165, and 197. OK State used Rin Sakamoto at 133, who gave up bonus points but had some fun scraps with Ayala. Also of note is Cam Amine, who came in wearing a face mask and appeared to suffer a knee injury as well. Fish had a wild match with Teemer, making a late push with a tough ride late. They’ll head into Big 12’s as heavy favorites with a number of conference contenders.

We’ve made it to the end of the 2024-25 regular season! The dual meet portion of the schedule closed emphatically with Iowa’s win over Oklahoma State. For the second straight season, the Hawkeyes are responsible for Oklahoma State’s only dual loss of the year. That gives Iowa the #2 spot in our final set of dual rankings for the year. Oklahoma State takes the number three slot. The only other significant change in the team's dual rankings was related to Virginia Tech’s win over NC State. NC State drops behind Virginia Tech and one-loss Cornell. Minnesota and Ohio State move up as well. Even with big duals like Iowa/Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech/NC State, there wasn’t a whole lot of movement at the top of the individual rankings. A slight upset from the Hokies 125 lber Eddie Ventresca gave Vince Robinson his first actual loss of the year and led to a bit of shuffling. Troy Spratley moves back up to #3, Ventresca is #4, and Robinson is #5. All three have exchanged wins over each other, so you could order this a couple of different ways. We’re taking the most recent result and working from there. Another top-five loss came at 149 lbs where #8 Ethan Stiles downed #5 Lachlan McNeil. Stiles has been remarkable since moving down from 157. In the last month, he has beaten #5 McNeil, #9 Lamer, #11 Williams, and #15 Abas. I’m not sure I remember a wrestler dropping down midseason and turning in results like this. Also, at 174 lbs, Lorenzo Norman lost to Josh Ogunsanya. It is only the second loss of the year for Norman, so he doesn’t get penalized too much. It also doesn’t make sense based on the rest of the weight class to drop him any lower than fifth, right now.

NAIA post season works a little more like Men’s NCAAs with each conference having a number of allocated spots at each weight based on rankings and other factors. After conferences, a committee will determine the remaining at-large qualifiers to complete the 210 athlete national tournament. You can see those conference allocations below:

This weekend, high school state tournament season really went into full swing. States like Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments - along with plenty of others. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed.

Signal Mountain

Have we caught our collective breath as a wrestling community? Those Sunday night megaduals are something else! I’d love to see more of that in the future, especially after football season is over. If you missed Oklahoma State against Iowa, it was one of the best dual of the year and it easily lived up to the hype. Many expected the 184 lb bout to play a pivotal role in the team result and that ended up being accurate. The freshman against the senior star is always a good storyline for me. Both Angelo Ferrari and Dustin Plott acquitted themselves well, but a star was born in Ferrari. Or maybe confirmed. Iowa finished the regular season the same way they finished the 2023-24 campaign - by handing Oklahoma State their only dual loss of the year. Tom Brands is now responsible for David Taylor’s first dual loss as the Cowboys head coach. I’m sure Brands heard the rumblings over the last nine months about how Taylor could be building the next dynasty in college wrestling and said “Not so fast.” Here are five takeaways from the candidate for “Dual of the Year.” 1. Angelo Ferrari is ready to go….right now! This is probably obvious to anyone who watched Sunday’s dual, but Angelo Ferrari has proven he can compete with the best wrestlers at 184 lbs in some pretty high-intensity environments. Ferrari’s only loss came to Carter Starocci in Iowa’s dual with Penn State, but it was by a 3-1 final score, which represents Starocci’s only non-bonus point win of the season. On Sunday, he took out returning NCAA runner-up Dustin Plott in sudden victory. The fact that Ferrari got the win was impressive in its own right. Coming into the match, Plott had lost six times over the last two seasons and five of those losses came to 2024 national champion Parker Keckeisen. That being said, I was impressed by the manner in which Ferrari won the match. Plott was down by a point in the third period and proceeded to ride the Hawkeye for the entire third period - gaining a riding time point, in the process, and sending the match to extra time. The mental fortitude and physical toughness to brush yourself off after those two minutes of action and come out as the aggressor in sudden victory is remarkable. Ferrari was able to get to Plott’s legs multiple times in the sudden victory period, before actually finishing for the winning takedown. Obviously, if you're beating someone like Plott and competitive with the four-time national champion, it should mean a potentially high finish for Ferrari at the 2025 NCAA Championships. 2. Even so….staying in redshirt is the way to go. After the Penn State dual, Tom Brands re-iterated that Ferrari would be kept in redshirt, but he needed to keep redshirt freshman Gabe Arnold fresh. Ferrari would use his five dates and they wouldn’t be against “cupcakes.” Despite the temptation of a win over Plott, I think keeping Ferrari in redshirt is the correct course of action for Brands. From a pure roster management standpoint, it makes sense to wrestle Arnold in the postseason and keep Ferrari in redshirt. Should you wrestle Ferrari, you waste a potential postseason appearance for Arnold, who's a great prospect in his own right. Brands gets paid the big bucks to manage egos and get a team full of wrestlers to buy into his vision for the program. Should Arnold get bumped to the bench, in today’s NIL/transfer portal world, it might be difficult to keep him in Iowa City. Regardless of how well Arnold does in the postseason this year, 174 lbs is probably in the cards for him next year. Brands has never been the type to punt success one season for potential wins in the future, but next year could be interesting with what we now know. Penn State will be really good again and for the foreseeable future. But, they do lose Beau Bartlett, Carter Starocci, and Greg Kerkvliet. We’re still not sure what to make from their 125 and 133 lbers. They could be in for a high finish this year or they could miss the podium. All of this is to say that Penn State is more “getable” next year compared to last year or this one. With likely high NCAA finishers like Drake Ayala and Mikey Caliendo as seniors, combined with a redshirt freshman Ferrari in a clear-out 184 lb weight class, Arnold at his best weight - that’s a good tournament team. Looking at Iowa’s lineup, there is no short-time successor to Stephen Buchanan on the roster. Does that mean that Iowa could be a spot for Angelo’s older brother, AJ? If he gets through a school year at CSU Bakersfield without any off-the-mat issues, maybe that’s a possibility. Iowa has brought in multiple high-profile transfers in each of the last two years, so maybe another couple this offseason? 3. Taylor is not afraid of the bold moves During the Nebraska/Purdue match that preceded the dual on the Big Ten Network, Tim Johnson announced that Oklahoma State had weighed in Rin Sakamoto at 133 lbs, in addition to the expected starter Reece Witcraft. I immediately sent a message to one of my chat groups saying “he’s not actually going to throw out Sakamoto for his first folkstyle match in Carver-Hawkeye against the defacto #1 guy in the weight, is he?” Well, he did. At first glance you may not think that a major decision loss would be chalked up as a win for Oklahoma State, but I think in that situation it was. Witcraft is a gamer and has been a valued member of the Oklahoma State team. Former head coach John Smith spoke highly of him in 2022-23, when he made a huge cut to 125 lbs after the Cowboys suddenly had a void at the weight. Even though it probably wasn’t in his best interest and was likely a miserable experience. But Witcraft can be an all-or-nothing guy on the mat. We saw it earlier this season in the Bedlam dual where he was losing, likely to give up bonus points, and tossed Cleveland Belton for a fall. He might have very well silenced the Carver-Hawkeye crowd by pinning Ayala and turning the tide in the dual. At the same time, he could have tried the big move and been put on his back by Ayala and gave up a fall. The latter is probably more likely than the former. If we looked at the statistically probable outcomes for an Ayala/Witcraft match, I think a major decision for Ayala is the most likely result. Maybe followed by a decision, but also a tech or pin. In sending out Sakamoto, Taylor probably reduced the chance of a tech or pin and ended up getting a similar result. Again, it was a bold decision. The easy decision is to just go with the senior and it would be understandable in that environment. Overall, it didn’t impact the result of the dual, but had the 184 lb match flipped - it would have been a decision from the Oklahoma State bench that would have been important, while possibly overlooked. 4. Are we overlooking Dean Hamiti as a title contender? In late December we saw one of the most anticipated matches of the year, as two-time NCAA champion Keegan O’Toole edged Penn State national champion Levi Haines at the Collegiate Duals. It was a meeting between number one and number two, both were undefeated at the time. Some were calling it an NCAA finals preview….and that may very well be the case. Dean Hamiti might have something else to say about it. Hamiti posted an 8-1 decision over Nelson Brands - one he might have been annoyed about as he surrendered an escape to Brands late, which took away a potential major decision. That aside, nobody majors Nelson Brands. He’s just too good at handfighting and holding position. Throughout Brands’ long career at Iowa, he’s only been majored once? Without heading to WrestleStat can anyone name that opponent? Aside from Tony Ramos, I’m not sure if many people would have guessed Devin Kane at the 2021 NCAA Championships. With all due respect to Mr. Kane, based on Brands’ injury history and his results against some of the elite wrestlers of our time, I’d imagine Brands was banged up on some level. Over his career, Brands has lost to Starocci, Aaron Brooks, Mekhi Lewis, Mikey Labriola, and Edmond Ruth and none majored him. Only Brooks came close (14-8). If Hamiti can get through the difficult defense of Brands, how would he fare with O’Toole/Haines? We should see in two weeks as he and O’Toole will likely clash at the Big 12 Championships. They didn’t hit in dual meet competition because O’Toole missed about two months with an injury. An injury also could swing things Hamiti’s way. Their potential matchups will be one of the most anticipated of conference tournament weekend. 5. Is Jacori Teemer slowly regaining his normal form? A takedown off the opening whistle, at 157 lbs against Caleb Fish, made it look like Jacori Teemer was all the way back from a hamstring issue he suffered in November. Teemer had other moments of brilliance in a scramble and with his trademark double leg against Fish. Then Brands had him take down in the third period, while he was possibly on the path to a major decision (he was leading 9-4). In the heat of the moment, I kind of questioned the decision. A wrestler who probably wasn’t fully healthy and in the best condition going underneath a good top wrestler in the third period of an emotionally draining dual meet. It had the recipe for trouble. As I suspected, Fish was very tough on top and rode Teemer for a significant part of the third. He later cut the Hawkeye to try and get points on his feet. All-in-all, Fish was able to get two points from stalling calls in the third. Looking back at this situation, it was probably a necessary evil to put Teemer in that position. One that should help prepare him for the postseason. Some of the elite 157 lbs in the Big Ten are really tough from top. Tyler Kasak, Ethen Miller, Joey Blaze, Tommy Askey. At some point, Teemer will need to get an escape in a key situation against one (or more) of these guys. They obviously won’t care about his conditioning or health. Or maybe they’ll smell blood if there’s any doubt about either. With that rough third period and almost two weeks before the Big Ten Championships, I think we’ll end up seeing the best version of Teemer in a Hawkeye singlet in Evanston.
