Cornell has more Italians than Rutgers

Vance VomBaur has basically solidified he wasn’t a fluke AA. He’s been breaking matches open. He was losing those close matches last year. By the end he was winning those matches at NCAAs with his crazy pace.

Minnesota is a better dual team as they don’t have anyone who will get bonuses regularly. Gable should get 1st with a lot of bonus. I sadly see a lot of low AA types. I see Flynn, Wells, Vombaur, Askey, McEnelly and Salazar as guys who unless multiple injuries won’t make the finals but all likely will place 5-R12. I hope Sparks can stay healthy and post a R12-R16 result along with Whiting who I project to do better as the season goes with the cut. If MN can get Gable to win and 6 other AA’s and contributions from Sparks, Whiting and Roberts we can take 2nd

I would love to see Askey drop to 149 and wrestle Millard right away at 157. Roberts is a good backup but he overall lacks scoring ability without a true go to attack to move up to a top 10 guy.

Not sure on Flynn but wells and Vombaur cut a ton. Makes sense to get those guys on the mat ASAP.

We lose Sparks at 165 who will be replaced by Charlie Millard who’s killing it, Salazar who will be by Gavin Nelson and Gable who will likely by Koy Hopke if he recovers well.

I believe one year Iowa had 11 returning AAs to its team. Another year when 9 placed, the only to fail to AA was defending champion Mark Reiland

It was 2001, not 2007. We did so with 0 finalists, with Leroy Vega, Jared Lawrence, Luke Becker, Brad Pike, Owen Elzen and Garrett Lowney all losing in the semis(3 in OT). Damion Hahn and Brett Lawrence had to fight back a long way to AA

Nelson Brands is the most overrated wrestler in the country. Patrick Kennedy and him should be a coin flip at best for him based on his overall results. He had one good Ncaa tourney where he kept matches low scoring and snuck out some late wins. If his name was Nelson Peterson, nobody would give a damn.

Davis has a redshirt remaining but I would let him wrestle and run Nagao out of town personally. He honestly was better at Minnesota. SVN is being remembered for his NCAA finish but he was seeded #12 I believe and lost a lot of matches. Facundo is going to have to do it elsewhere kind of like Michael Beard. He just isn’t that guy

Let’s pray this happens!

That is what I heard as well, even still listed at 157. Here would be my projections 125-Tanner Jordan Super Sr 133-Derrick Cardinal Jr 141-Alek Martin Jr(couldn’t beat Carlson, better weight for him maybe) Another option is True Fr Logan Swenson if Martin is hurt 149-Cade Siebrecht So 157-Cobe Siebrecht Sr 165-Cael Swenson Jr (IF Swenson is out they NEED to go get Patrick Kennedy) 174-Cade DeVos Super Sr 184-Bennett Berge So 197-Zach Glazier Super Sr(Quin Morgan redshirt, could be very good) Hwt-Luke Rasmussen So

How often in the world when a statement is made right away does it turn out to be BS? If our government made a statement like this, the same people believing this would be saying conspiracy theory.

I looked at the recruiting class they have coming in. It looks like a D3 recruiting class when looking at accolades. I know for 100% sure St Cloud St and Augsburg have better guys coming in. Guys have left in the portal in mass quantity. Huge cause for concern.

Boise St had an amazing program at times. They had so many unseeded guys AA, in the 2000-2010 range they had some really tough a5letes. Greg Randall was a great coach and recruiter.
