Absolutely, that’s gonna be every year for a while. If Bartlett, Starroci, and Kerk all come back, that team could set the scoring record. No one competes with that. If none of them do…could open the door a bit. A lot would still have to go right for Iowa, a lot wrong for Penn State, and yeah people are saying that every offseason. But there’s a path that at least allows them to compete(within 10 in a dual, 25 at NCAA’s) that I don’t think’s incredibly unreasonable. I wonder what might unfold where Penn State will pursue any transfers this Spring, maybe 285 if Kerk leaves?

125 Stanich, Ramos 133 Fix, Crookham 141 Mendez, Mendez 149 Lovett, Parco 157 Haines, Haines 165 O’Toole, O’Toole 174 Lewis, Starocci 184 Keckeisen, Keckeisen 197 Brooks, Brooks 285 Bastida, Kerkvliet

I actually think if a few things fall into place for Iowa(Glazier, Brands, a transfer or two) and Starrocci and Kerk don’t come back, Iowa will be competitive with Penn State next year. I’d chalk this one up to circumstance and lessons learned. They’d be the clear number two if their gamblers made better decisions.

Wish Mesenbrink was at 157, would LOVE to watch that match.

Name them! I challenged you on that before and you red herring'd me with a bunch of Starroci bs. Initially you said "very average", which is quite possibly the stupidest statement ever said here. Be a man and answer the question, which team is better from 125-149?

Jimmy? The real Jimmy?

He had a reaction in anger/frustration/emotion, pretty similar to you and your posts. You know very well what the PSU Wrestling culture is and the standard it’s set.

The best group to me is the group that scores the most points in the setting that matters the most. So far, the best situation for that reference is the Big 10 Tournament. Number of champs…is that a prediction? What team has a better group of 125-149 guys? Do you not understand that disparaging Penn State wrestling these days makes you look like a total fool?

You and Nebraska can adopt that loser/victim mentality, Penn State will just wrestle. And win. Again. Whatever it’s about, your guy at 125 is middle of the fieldish at NCAA’s. It’s extremely likely Davis will lose at least one match at NCAA’s just as it is for everyone in that weight class. If so, he’s young and will have several more opportunities. Above average…getting closer. It’s the best group in the country in that combination. And Penn State’s “weak” part of their lineup. That is hard to handle if you’re still holding out hope. You gotta let go of that as Nebraska is not the team. You got pretty excited when Carter got hurt, didn’t you? Thought that opened the door for a team race? Good God man

Ok. The totality of season matchups will determine one guy is a #1 or 2 seed(likely) and the other guy is, I don’t know, a 12 to 15? Maybe worse? One is definitely better at matchups, which seem fairly important here, and it’s not the one you’re pedestaling. But that’s not the worst of your commentary. The “very average” group of four PSU wrestlers just outscored the mighty big Husker four 66.5 to 54 this weekend. And history tells us one of those groups gets even better ~two weeks later and one doesn’t. Are you ready to retract anything yet? Just say you were speaking on emotion and frustration and I won’t bring it up again.

Teched by Barnett, a TECH FALL, shortly after you declared Davis part of a “very average” group that just went 1, 3, 2, 3 at the Big Ten Tournament. You’re the worst poster in the history of these forums, at least Cinnabun was trolling. You actually believe the crap that you type.

Two! Incredible action

Glad Mendez won, did Bartlett take a single legit shot?

Franek MFFL to Robb, that might be the deciding factor

I do. Looked like a beatdown you see from a top guy in the first round of a high school state tournament. “Very average”, so is the 125 champ. Never mind his guy took what, 8th? Teched for 8th?

Haha no, I was a little disappointed with some of the theatrics at the end too. Couldn’t see it all or know exactly what happened. I’ve always liked the McKee’s

Where you all think Davis gets seeded?

Nebraska has a lot of consolation wrestlers, more on the mat at the same time than Penn State has in the whole round. Teske was robbed, Hardy still can’t beat a diminished Woods

Lol, two already are AA’s, the other two are true freshmen. One’s a backup 141 lber that challenges your best wrestler. The strength of your team is from 125-149 and Penn State’s very average group will STILL have a higher average seed at NCAA’s. Still think PSU’s vulnerable in two weeks? I want Jimmy back

Good lord

Yeah, if they all drastically perform under expectation and suffer multiple injuries to probable champs they MIGHT take 2nd place? They’re either “deep”(very good) or everyone else is ridiculously bad. Which one is it?

Shapiro beats Haines in the quarters? What seeds are you expecting for those two? Big Ten’s will likely be close for several reasons, NCAA’s will likely be much wider. Starroci perhaps not being able to go could change that significantly.

Cael Any other Utahns here?

Pinto’s strength saved him, dude’s a hoss. Same thing for Truax, just gotta finish one more TD.

What? No Nagao? This is gonna be a close dual, at the very least Penn State’s closest by far. Nebraska might split matches with them
