Yea it's probably pretty embarrassing for him. Poor Kueter has had a tough time recently having to wrestle Gable kerk and Hendrickson. It's also really hard to put on 30 pounds of good weight. I don't think it could be done in a single year and would be surprised if he could put on that kind of size by the end of his career. Hopefully Kueter learns from these losses and keeps improving. Next year the monsters are all gone so hopefully Keuter sticks with it.

Ramos had nothing to gain by wrestling. He has the number 1 seed locked up for big tens.

I belive nhs67 was being sarcastic and making fun of the Iowa hater with that comment. Big gritty win by Ferrari! Pull his shirt and give him two more shots at starocci and a chance to become a legend in the sport. Who knows, if the stars align perfectly for Iowa maybe they can compete with Penn State for 1st place. Ayala, Parco, Teemer, Caliendo, Ferrari and Buchanan could all make the finals. Lilledahl and Davis could both miss the podium, Kasak is banged up, and Kerk seems to be mia lately. Iowa should take their shot now. They don't get any closer to winning next year. They lose Parco, teemer and Buchanon.

Previous Hodge winners also get a vote. Penn State has a significant amount of votes that will all be going towards Starocci if he wins.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gable got it, however Keck is also a returning champ who I believe will be undefeated going into the NCAA finals with a higher bonus rate than kerk. A win over Keck is better than a win over Kerk.

The weight has a returning national champ and a returning finalist who beat Spencer Lee. I don't think the weight is weak. Might not be very deep but the top 2 are pretty legit.

I don't know man, Steiber also benefited from a questionable call in the Ramos final. Steiber is definitely the sketchiest 4x champ. 5 is absolutely greater than 4 though. Hard to stay that focused that long. You have stay healthy (stopped Spencer) stay out of trouble (AJ). Plus everyone has another year to scout you and try to find a way to beat you.

Mark Hall has a very good case. He had to deal with Zahid three years and got screwed out of his fourth year which he likely would have won. I still don't understand how the seniors that year got screwed out of their 4th year of eligibility and everyone else gained a year.

Yes Keck becomes the best 1 time champ ever. Just look at who he has had to wrestle. I think he should get the hodge if he wins. Noone else has ever stopped a 5 time national champion. I also think if Carter wins he should get the hodge.

Could he get a medical and preserve his 3 years of eligibility? Because that might increase his value

Too bad no ech, swiderski, or bastida and someone else hurt(I forget at the moment ) Iowa State too depleted this year.

The pinto loss sealed Kennedys fate. It opened the door for Brands to take the spot.

Sure seems potentially dangerous to me

A lot of people were saying he is gonna be a four timer and comparing him to spencer. Well he has two losses already to guys who were at the time I believe ranked 20 and 21. He has one very close win over a top ten ranked Caleb smith. Spencer also had two losses Freshman year but they were to a former champ (Nato) and all American Brewer. Spencer was also teching all americans. I just can't see Lilledahl beating Ramos or Figs this year and believe his ceiling is 4th. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't all American this year. I do think he has a bright future ahead, just not this year. He has been way over hyped this year.

Lol I love it!

Helicopter celly around the 4 min mark on this video

I still think Mendez wins it, but I think u have to give the ranking to Bartlett. I don't think alirez makes the finals.

What are your guys thoughts on Matt Ramos in match helicopter takedown celebration vs maryland?

Poor Keuter, who do you guys think is more dominant? Gable or Messinbrink?

Teemer is going to win ncaas. He scores when he wants to. Once his timing and conditioning are fully back it's game over.

Plus add in the 6 they got at 125 and no kerk at heavyweight, man they could have won this dual and ended the streak. Too bad.

Very interesting, messinbrink and Ramos both added another tech Friday evening.

Bouzakis robbed of those 2 nearfall cost him the match. Davis with another lucky break

Lilledahl Stuck!
