He has always been talented, just lacked confidence. He was always in Jordan Williams shadow in highschool, now he is doing his own thing. He is gonna be a good one

I agree 100%.

I absolutely agree. Hell, some may not transfer, I personally know some of the kids (3) on that team and THEY LOVE IT THERE. They love the culture, the team, and the coaches.

What if this dude F'd around and found out?

yes sir it is! The problem is the kids at the bottom of the jam...lol

He MIGHT RS behind the Allen Texas kid, just so they can let him mature, BUT, I think he absolutely could start from day one. Hence again why I said there is a log jam

Mauger and Crapps end up transferring possibly if Seth Mendoza ends up at 133. If Mendoza ends up at 141, then Crapps could slide into 133. Mauger is too small for 133, and he will NEVER beat Gage Walker.

any takers? Steed wins 165 bracket.

He is a leader by example, not a big hoorah type guy. I had hoped he would RS only because I think he can get better at wrestling. Not a jab at him, I just think there is more he can learn. ie. top game, etc. It is hard to keep him out of a lineup because he is gritty as hell, and leaves it all out there. A lot of guys feed off of that.

Obviously, I am pro Iowa state here, so this is going to come across as biased. BUT, before this year, I would agree with this comment, this is the first year, CS has stayed "in it" year around. They worked all summer long and he brought the frost brothers along. I think he is maturing and figuring out how to be a leader. I am not in any way saying he can beat Mendez, I am saying he should be better mentally and shape wise.

he's been good thus far. The elephant in the room, is Grice performing on the big stage. Those don't realize, he was beating Frost last year and lost at the end of the match. He has a ton of talent. Oz is going to be exciting man, he is going to be a mini ech (again, good job captain obvious) but he will throw you on your head. He is working hard on top and bottom game.

Os is not used to this college cutting, and staying down. He is doing good, and adapting for sure. I think you are right, he is prolly a lifetime 125. Frost is cutting his balls off, he and Grice are cutting really hard. As far a Terukina, I am so back and forth with him. You go watch him, when he wants to go, he is pretty tough, but it is just in spurts. In my personal opinion, Dresser wants someone consistent. Os could be the dude. BUT Grice is tough as heck; the problem is he is kinda of inconsistent, too.

there is 100% truth to the rumor. Here is the absolute head scratcher for me, I was told Ech only weighed 148 after practice...Who the heck knows

I don't know now. Here is what I know. Kyson is NOT going to get beat to Frost at 133, when that happens, he has been told he is going back down. So what does that mean? Would they RS both meza and Osmany, even if they beat Kyson? Kyson has been so up and down, I think they will want to look at other options, but that is just my opinion. Swiderski possibly going to 141 tells me Dresser is going to fill that line up to win. ( I know, Captain Obvious). One side says they will RS Osmany, but then I think, they are so loaded at 125/133 and they are young, then you have CC coming in next year, they might wrestle him. I rambling to say, I don't know crap. If I hear, I will pass along. One thing to note: Gaitan is not a lock at 165, Euton has been looking really good. Also, Ech has never looked better, if he stays healthy, he is going to be a force. Another Note: The wrestlers love Chris Perry up there, I can see now why he is such a great recruiter.

Meza is tough as hell. I think Terukina is at 133 right now, but could come back down. Meza is at 125 and he will have to beat Grice. I think Grice ends up being the man at 125, but we will find out a lot on Sunday

not fake. shot in on Ech, head to knee and he was down. He REALLY wants to wrestle this year.

I don't know about being happy about it, but Dresser wants him to RS and get better at wrestlng. Toughness is there.

CC will be 149 for you guys, I would guess.

He was tough in highschool, coached him on some dual teams. His mom works for the school, that helped a hard lean for him. Does he end up starting this year IYO?

How is Chris Coats doing?

Why not just ignore it? You see BB has trimmed the list, just skip by it. This sport does not get enough attention, and he is good enough to run this out until his senior year. I don't stay up with it, I will get cliff notes and pay attention when he is down to 12. But at the end of the day, I just don't care. I do hold on to the hope he ends up at Iowa St, and I do think they will be in the top 12, but he won't go there.

well you were spot on, lol. I called my guy and said, this jackass is claiming 141 Frost, and he said, yeah, i would eat crow, it looks like it could go that way! LOL...so, I like mine medium, with salt and pepper.

I am going to say you were correct on the call at 141 with Frost, but I will stick with my 125 prediction. I think Grice starts at 125, he looks really, really, really (3 really's) good. Right now, it is Grice, Terukina, Oz. Casey 100% RS's, Chittum in the air. I am told PJ and him will rank off at 157, and loser could go up. I have heard rumors about Gaitan to 165, but not official. If that is true, then I do believe Chittum RS's. I will ask about it. Big 12 will be fun again this year.

Wiley was all over the place, and I agree, inconsistent; hell let's be honest, he has been a disappointment. I think he is figuring things out, and could be decent this year. Again, I could be wrong. Travis is not a major decision better than Wiley, I can tell you that.
