  1. Cody Walters - Ohio University was a great leg rider if I recall.
  2. It's odd to me that he weighed in. If you want give him the day off, okay I don't love it for the sport but his goal is the Natty and you think this helps, but why make him cut to make 125, gamesmanship in a dual you lost by ~30?? I would think making 125 is harder for him than wrestling a 7 minute match.
  3. Keep in mind that is coming from a troll account that likes to max out Iowa's potential and provide PSU's doomsday scenarios as facts.
  4. Agree on Teemer. First the hamstring injury and then the shoulder brace don't look good. I am sure he is really hurt but soft tissue injuries are more likely to occur when you haven't been training as hard.
  5. Keuter is the highest ranked freshman HWT, with a win over a returning AA, but isn't as competitive with the top 3 guys who are all seniors. And the question is will he ever be a top tier guy? 3/10 troll.
  6. This makes complete sense. I would only offer the following on your sound reasoning. 1. Kennedy may have wanted to go 165 but couldn't beat Caliendo so it was 174 or bust and he was okay not winning the spot. 2. Gabe/Brands in the offseason might of been pretty even (neither is lighting up a scoreboard so the room battles are probably close). Brands wants to go 174 so Gabe, who has some success at 184 last year, decides to put on weight in the off season when there was no clear 184 with Angelo wanting to redshirt.
  7. I don't see why the loss to someone who is redshirtlng should impact the ranking but as you noted, how will impact the seed is a better question? McEnelly will have a better win percentage (assuming he only takes 1 loss at B1Gs) and have the same placement. B12 is a little stronger at 184 so Plott might have RPI. Can Foca jump him in the seeding criteria?
  8. That makes sense tho. I am not questioning why Iowa is heavy in the portal or is paying guys lots of money. Caliendo is mulit-year starter and will part of the line up next year. I just don't get why they went and got 1 year rentals. If this wasn't the year they were going to try and maximize points, whey didn't they try and pay highly ranked underclassman.
  9. Let's not pretend that Parco, Teamer, and Buchanan all knocked on Iowa's door unsolicited. As I said, I am not questioning the decision to sit Ferrari and do whats best long term. I don't understand why they went out, recruited and PAID 1 year guys when they are not going to put out their best lineup.
  10. I understand why Iowa is redshirting Ferrari as they will get more out of him over the next 4 years. What I can't understand is why did they pay all that money for 1 year transfers, but not put out their best lineup?
  11. Just ask him. Hey Angelo, what is your ceiling at NCAAs this year:
  12. Very interesting. If he is going to give it a go, its probably better for him to wrestle the whole tournament anyway to get his match count/lungs up, etc. so he is prepared as possible for NCAAs.
  13. Kyle Dake did an interview once where he basically said he went into every match thinking he is already up 2-0 because he knew he would get an escape and he would earn a riding time point.
  14. It seems to be just speculation based on him missing his best competition dates this year (CKLV and Little Rock).
  15. New lines for the week: Prebyterian +22.5 v. VMI Edinboro +18.5 v. Lock Haven Bloomsburg +30.5 v. Navy Kent St. +4.5 v. Cleveland St. Columbia +1.5 v. Bucknell NCST +6.5 v. VT MSU +15.5 v. CMU Brown +14.5 v. Harvard UNI -28.5 v. Wisonsin UNC -4.5 v. Stanford Nebraska -27.5 v. Purdue
  16. He is also just making up things and stating them as fact like Schultz's cuts 50+ pounds....
  17. They have Gallagher beating Peterson so it doesn't seem like they do.
  18. MM only won by major in that match in the dual and did not break him at the NCAA's "only" beating Amine 6-1. The dual loss was the only match Amine has lost by bonus in his career. Caliendo has been very impressive this year outside of the MM match, but the chances to bonus Amine still seem very low.
  19. New lines starting to pop up: Penn +6.5 v. Rutgers (today) OkSt -1.5 v. Iowa (Sunday)
  20. Not pinned: Cael Sanderson
  21. We did not watch the same match, I guess. Starocci was never threatened once. Starocci is getting Techs against B1G competition and NCAA qualifiers. Ferrari can't tech the SDSU backup. Its a different level.
  22. Looks like he is just coaching to me. He doesn't even seem that passionate about it. Both are bad calls, but I don't want my coach to just accept it, especially if they were on the wrong side of the first one. If anything, it would be consistent for Poeta to point out that the Sealey's TD was no different than Bryd's and they should be called the same, which was incorrectly no TD unfortunately.
  23. Where did he complain or make a comment about the Sealey TD?
  24. That is where I disagree. Majoring Plott just means he is the contender at the 2nd level of 184 (3rd place). It does not mean anything with regards to his ability to beat the other 2.
  25. Exactly! It has nothing to do with who the calls go against or any fan base because there have been so many questionable calls. He is like an athlete that chokes in big moments. Sure is is fine with no one is around but when the moment gets big, his brain does bizarre things.
