He would definitely help solidify their middle weights but they have a ways to go to be top 10 yet. Flo has OK State at 10 (prior to the Hendrickson addition), Mizzou 11, NC State 12, SDSU 13, Lehigh 14
I have to see Carroll compete at 197 before I call him an AA lock although I think he has tremendous upside at that weight and it would not surprise me a bit to see him as a high AA.
I think Iowa ends up shaking out

Solid team with a chance for quite a few AA’s. Will be in the mix for a trophy.
Hopefully they can change their ways and adapt. I am not especially optimistic that will happen though. It would be great to see 3-5 programs really competing for the top spot in college wrestling.
