It will be interesting to see how 133 - 157 plays out for ISU.

125- Spencer Lee → So much hype coming in and he basically lived up to the hype. A complete menace on top and very underrated neutral game. 133- Seth Gross → First and only NCAA champ for my Jackrabbits. So slick and tricky with the two on one from neutral and merkle position and a hammer on top with tilts and cradles. 141- Yianni Diakomihalis → He did (and continues to do) things in scrambles that do not seem humanly possible. Also great interview where he talks about needing to have some nuts. So clutch in the NCAA finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuzUV8mkYlI&ab_channel=BassettBrothersWrestlingChannel 149- Brett Metcalf → Throwback to the classic Iowa style from the Gable era with relentless pressure and pace. Always looking to score and dominate. 157- Isaiah Martinez → IMar's underhook and post series is a thing of beauty. He was also great with upper body and inside trips. Put up a ton of points and was super physical. Probably looked at as an all timer if he just repeats his wins from B1G over Cenzo in the finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjRvo4dI60k&ab_channel=MichaelChoi 165- Evan Wick → Can cradle from anywhere and was comically long for the weight class. As a tall lanky wrestler myself, I always enjoyed watching Wick find creative ways to use his length. 174- Robert Kokesh / Logan Storely → SD kids that battled it out. Kokesh improved a ton throughout his career (I really thought he was going to win it his senior year). Storely came into college ready to challenge for a title and was a 4x AA without a redshirt. 184- Quentin Wright → Electric. Wright let it fly every match and was a human highlight reel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApDfyLeM3y4&ab_channel=BSDFilmRoom 197- Tanner Sloan → Another Jackrabbit that makes the list of me. Sloan was arguably the best top wrestler at 197 during his career. A great example of a guy that was hardly recruited out of high school putting in the work and becoming one of the best wrestlers in country. SDSU was his only D1 offer and his only other offer was D3 to COE college. 285- Wyatt Hendrickson → Always willing to let it fly. It was fun to watch the progression of a wild man from AF beating up on lesser opponents to a full fledged hammer beating up on everyone.

I will throw out the following as contenders for JB if they want new coaches: Nebraska, Iowa, Rutgers, tOSU, ISU, Michigan and then possibly teams like Oklahoma and Minnesota (that have a history of success and have shown somewhat of a willingness to spend money). I don't see Iowa or Michigan as current possibilities but I think JB would take them if they were open. I think that wherever he went you would see money come in from outside sources to support a guy like Burroughs (think Rob Koll and the Milwaukee tools guy).

Zahid at his best could go toe to toe with anyone. Those 174 weight classes were tough with Zahid, Mark Hall, Myles Amine, Bo Jordan, Daniel Lewis, Jordan Kutler, David McFadden, Taylor Lujan, etc.. Before getting suspended in 2020 Zahid was on a tear as well at 184.

125- Lee 133- Vito 141- Stieber 149- Zain 157- Dake 165- JB 174- Zahid 184- Brooks 197- Cael 285- Gable

You have Ruth and Nickal over Cael, eh?

Earl Hall named interim coach

Cael Swenson 157/165 SDSU For SDSU I also expect Brady Roark 125 to be tough and Logan Swenson 133 to push for a spot. If he beats out Cardinal, he could be a underdog to look for. Tom Crook 141 VT Luke Geogg (injury not redshirt) 197 tOSU Cael Hughes (injury not redshirt) 141 OSU Max Brignola 165 Lehigh (wend undefeated in redshirt last year notably beating Julian Ramirez) Greg Diakomihalis (injury not redshirt) 125 Cornell Whoever wins the 184 spot at UNI between Gunderson and Walrath Gavin Nelson 197 Minnesota Christian Carrol 285 Wyoming

Minnow is reporting (take it for what it is) that UNC blocked AJF's admission and now he is back on the market....

How could you not want to send your kid to VT after seeing this level of love and sacrifice? Amazing man.

Just so you all have the correct rendering (KJB) of the 100% true account of Jacob wrestling with God → see below. (Yes, I am a Bible believer and not ashamed of it. If you can believe Gen 1:1 then you will have no problem believing anything in the Bible. If you doubt Gen 1:1, then you will doubt much of the Bible.) Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Gen 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. Gen 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Gen 32:27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. Gen 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

The way I see it is that they have 9 starters that are currently that are NCAA finalist caliber. Insane.

Cael is a Mormon, different Jesus. Kyle said that he found Jesus through the death of his father, not through Penn State.
