He was 18

Sinclair is very good. I think he will be in the mix. And yes I know Plott handled him this year.

Is Rocco planning to move up to 184? 184 will be fun to watch for years to come with the young talent. Angelo Ferrari, Max McEnally, Aedon Sinclair, Bennet Berge, Zach Ryder and others that I am probably forgetting.

Banana split is done out of a cross body leg ride. Spladle is done out of a merkle (some call wrong leg in. There are some similarities but different moves.

Ayala will wrestled off of one knee and move from the one knee position into his opponent which cause the opponent to put his hands on Drake in a collar tie or inside tie at which point Ayala will get to his slide by. This is one example of using the position to generate offense that I can think of.

People wrestle Starocci slow and cautious because his positioning and hand fighting is insane

Jake Andrews is now 21-2 on the season.

Huh? Hendrickson is an age level world champ. Kerk is a returning undefeated NCAA champion. Shultz is a former finalist, Feldman and Slav are returning AA's.

The margins in your wonderful except for that Hendrickson runs into pinfall.... So close...

Dave Schultz

Ono is a very likable young man.

As much as it pains me to say, Carter has earned the Starocci (from Sta(l)rocci) upgrade.

There is a difference between '23 and '25 Starocci. In '23 he had a 5-1 win over Julian Broderson, a 2-1 win over Brands, a 4-0 win over DJ Washington, a 5-2 win over Bailee O'Reilly. This year he has all bonus point victories except the Ferarri match. He has been much more offensive this year.

Because Ruth is more accomplished, bigger and more talented than Braunagel.

Is that actually true?

Ruth was 7th at 174 last year. He should have stayed down there apparently because he’s 10-6 on the year

No Ferarri listed....

Great margins sir.

Closest might have been last years PSU (141-285) or '85 or '86 Hawkeyes for an eight man run. 2023-2024 PSU 141- Barlett 2nd 149- Kasak 3rd 157- Haines 1st 165- Mesenbrink 2nd 174- Starocci 1st 184- Truax 5th 197- Brooks 1st 285- Kerkvliet 1st Avg place from 141-285 = 2 https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12905474-every-iowa-wrestling-roster-since-1973 1985-86 Season NCAA Finish: 1st Big Ten: 1st Head Coach: Dan Gable 118: No representation 126: Brad Penrith, 1st 134: Greg Randall, 2nd 142: Kevin Dresser, 1st 150: Jim Heffernan, 1st 158: Royce Alger, 5th 167: Marty Kistler, 1st 177: Rico Chiapparelli, 4th 190: Duane Goldman, 1st UNL: Mark Sindlinger, DNQ Avg place from 126-190 = 2 1984-85 Season NCAA Finish: 1st Big Ten Finish: 1st Head Coach: Dan Gable 118: Matt Egeland, 2nd 126: Barry Davis, 1st 134: Greg Randall, 5th 142: Kevin Dresser, 4th 150: Jim Heffernan, 2nd 158: Marty Kistler, 1st 167: Lindley Kistler, 5th 177: Rico Chiapparelli, 5th 190: Duane Goldman, 2nd UNL: Steve Wilbur, NQ Avg place from 126-190 = 3.125

Edmund Ruth is really good at stalling and making matches seem closer than they are and he was on his way to getting tech before betting stalled out against Carter.

Nothing in particular other than the fact that I think Ferarri is a hammer and incredibly hard to take down. I see it as a close match that Ferarri finds a way to win. I could be totally wrong. I thought that Aedon Sinclair would give Plott a tough match and he got beat handily. I know Ferrari lost to Starocci but the way that Starocci has absolutely destroyed everyone else this year tells me that Ferarri is legit.

Exactly. If he is getting beat in the room it's no mystery to him.

I think between Happel, Realbuto, Downey and Voelker they get at least one AA. I would not be surprised to see any of those guys AA.

Is Anderson or Golhoffer the the post season starter at 125?
