Give me John Smith for the Big 12 all day long. He is a legend of the sport and has the Cowboys trending back in the right direction. Smith has placed outside of the top 10 only 4 times since he took over the reigns in 1992 - 32 years ago! He also has had 5 NCAA Team titles, 4 NCAA runner up finishes and an additional 12 top 5 finishes.

Mirasola the smaller's wins over Evan Wick and Max Dean in freestyle tells me that he is ready to go right away. He is very good.

Alek Martin SDSU mdec Gabe Willochell 12-2

Snyder and Myles Martin 2016 tOSU?

Wasn’t there some speculation that Cardenas was going to be joining Arizona state following this season?

His losses to Cardinal and Serrano are holding him from rising higher in the rankings. If he keeps beating guys like Shawver, he will start rising.

Wisconsin's website lists Hamiti at 6'0". Olejnik has got to be 6' or over I would think. Truax is listed at 6'1" which is taller than Reece Heller who is listed at 6'0". Aiden McCain is listed on the Iowa website at 6'3". I have not been able to locate Will Feldkamp's height yet.

Okay, so he would have possibly taken 2nd instead of third. He lost to the eventual champion so he wasn’t going to win.

Cody Donnelly backup 197 for SDSU is 6’7”

141 Cole Matthews? 184 Clayton Whiting to Will Feldkamp

We will see how he progresses throughout the year. Concussions are tricky for training and competing. I am assuming he had one since he looked lost at CKLV and he is now wearing the padded headgear. He looked great and without any gas tank issues against Mauller this weekend.

Looks like the dual will be decided by 157, 165, 174. All should be tightly contested coin flip matches. Hopefully both teams are at full strength. I would like to see Iowa roll out Kueter against Davison to see how he does against a top HWT.

When he had a concussion… not a fair representation of Shapiro. Watch his match with Mauller for a non concussed version

Too many stoppages for my liking. Wrestling is a sport where conditioning is a huge tool and these stoppages take away from that.

I think the official stoppage for review without coaches challenge needs to be eliminated. The officials stop the matches quite frequently to review their own calls. Yes, they overturn them sometimes but at some point the matches just need to be wrestled and if there are bad calls a coach can challenge. Otherwise, let’s keep the matches rolling without so many breaks.

Idk about gassed. Keck did that from the first time they went out of bounds

Cole Matthews Dec Ryan Jack 15-10 Cole Matthews is now 10-9 on the season but has wins over Jack and Jesse Mendez

Bennett Berge mdec Sam Wolfe 8-0 Berge has been wrestling really well after a slow start. Go Jacks!

ESPN+ is only like $10 a month and has a lot of wrestling, especially Big 12. Well worth the price.

Refs should let the offensive wrestler finish takedowns when Peyton Hall does his rubber knee defense. He purposely turns his knee against the joint a lot and gets referee stoppages when he is in bad positions.

Foca beat Feldkamp 8-7 in the dual. I would say he has a chance to deck him as well.

Is Ungar vs Greg D an open competition or is Ungar the certified starter unless injury?

97kg is 214lbs and Tony looked huge at 214. I would not be in the least bit surprised if he is weighing 235-245 right now. Remember, this was an international event does not have the NCAA sanctioned weight cutting rules. Tony would be in the 2-5 range at NCAA's like he has been for the last 3 years if he is granted more eligibility. I don't see him beating Kerk, but everyone else is fair game. Brands would be a legit finalist contender at 174. He was 5th last year and 174 lost AA's Labriola, Foca, Ethan Smith and Plott. Assad would be a big upgrade from Riggins at 184 and a potential AA (although, I doubt it with his track record).

And your correction of my math was even further off my man lol. Here goes with correct math 125 Sprat dec Terk 3-0 OSU 133 Fix mdec Frost 7-0 OSU 141 Ech dec Jamison 7-3 OSU 149 Swid dec Alvarez 7-6 OSU 157 Chittum dec Travis 9-7 ISU 165 Carr dec Olejnik 12-7 ISU 174 Thompson dec Gaitan 12-10 ISU 184 Plott dec Feldkamp 13-12 OSU 197 Surber mdec Broderson 17-12 OSU HWT Bastida dec Doucet 17-15 OSU

I added 165 for OSU on accident. Should be 16-15 OSU.
