Who is Bunji? Bring him in for what?

you don’t think Lee should be 2 do you?

Yea but I think it’s relevant since this is the first confirmation we have that Arnold and Kueter are out

Did he ask it to the right people?

I will say it would be hilarious if Iowa misses out on 2nd (or 4th for that matter) by like 2-5 points

Or hoping for a rematch with Van Dee if he loses round 1?

He is listed last, I have no idea why. He teched Rivera, and the Northwestern guy is 0-12

Do we know how much weight he gained this year? If he was trying to put on weight for football, I’m surprised he still looked pretty thin

Iowa roster battles: Teske in at 133 (14 seed), Riggins at 184 (13), Hill at HWT (7) Hutmacher in for Nebraska

Isn’t that just referring to the actual circle though?

Josh Hokit, although I don’t think he made it past the practice squad

Yes

Sure, he’s probably “better” at wrestling considering he was a world champ. You don’t have to be the best in the world to make an NFL roster. If anything guys doing both seems to be more common now. You also have Jimmy Mullen doing it at VT.

Don’t recall seeing this posted but from a few days ago. I guess this means he’s not the guy for the postseason after all?

For duals (and NCAA finals) I would think you could do that, tournaments probably not. Shane Sparks wouldn’t be happy but I know Dollamur makes the smaller sections that you should be able to just add around the edge

I don’t think anyone cares about guys like Myles Amine competing for other countries, because they are clearly behind the US rep. But when they first transferred people may have said the same about Micic, Rivera and Gomez, all of which never won an NCAA title (well I guess Gomez still can). Are there any other American brothers competing for different countries? I know it’s rare to have siblings that are both that good to begin with, but I feel like all the other ones I’ve seen (which I guess is just the Amines and Finesilvers) all compete for the same country…

Didn’t Kizhan Clarke beat him? Could we see a Lee/Clarke NCAA finals rematch at last chance?

The argument isn’t that criteria is “satisfying.” It’s that it would make the last 30 seconds-1 minute of matches more exciting because someone would always be losing so guys won’t just hang around and wait for overtime. It’s a scenario pretty specific to wrestling, I can’t really think of a comparison to another sport. Are you “satisfied” when Will Lewan wins due to 1 second of RT in double OT? Again, I’m not saying folkstyle should definitely put in criteria. But it’s not a terrible idea. It would also save time particularly in tournaments. Speaking of which, saving time is another reason to get rid of anklebands. 10 seconds a match can add up over a 3 day tournament.

Yeah this would be my biggest question. I like the “keep wrestling as long as there’s a pinky toe in bounds” rule. We just need mats with bigger areas outside of the circle. Overall, while the subjectivity isn’t great, I prefer how folkstyle stalling is called compared to freestyle passivity. Half the time to me it seems like they just alternate who they put on the shot clock. @Hammerlock3 are you suggesting they get rid of “regular stalling” too? I know Cael kinda suggested that. It’s intriguing, but I’m not sure if it’d be any better.

The pro leagues may not have criteria, but they have been experimenting with changes to deciding ties. As I alluded to in the OP, I could kinda take it or leave it. The biggest concern for me is confusion for fans (particularly the ones attending live). But I think it probably would make the end of matches more exciting.

So will the Big 10 and SEC schools be part of the NCAA for the sports other than football and basketball?

No, white = home = green.

Doesn’t have to be red/green, can be white for home or something
