Le duke Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Iowa is headed back to the top my friend! If you’re Bernie Truax, would you rather practice with Brands and Assad, or Starocci, Brooks, Taylor, Dake and Nickal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked...So, the theoretical Ferrari transfer outweighs Cael, Taylor, Dake, Snyder and Varner?Is this Bob Nicolls? Only Slumlord Supreme would believe something so batshit crazy.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you could say that about several teams. But those teams aren’t out west. Bring that title west. Edited April 9, 2023 by SunDevil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Garrett Grice from Virginia seems like he could end up as a Husker. He is from Nebraska and could probably beat Burwick. Question is, would Burwick transfer again if he gets beat out for the position? Maybe back home at NDSU? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same about Garrett Grice, I believe he will probably end back up at Nebraska. If that happened I wonder how Burwick will feel after being over recruited for the second time. Crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nagao seeks like he's most likely Penn State. Garret Grice potentially Nebraska. Any thoughts on destinations for Chris Cannon? I'll throw out North Carolina as a dark horse consideration. Good academics for a kid who went through Blair and Northwestern. Opening for them at the weight class. Probably scholarship money available after all the seniors they had just finishes. Coleman Scott and Tony Ramos as lightweight mentors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Brands is REALLY good at that collar lock! I really do root for a little more parity, but I'm not gonna lie, it'd be fun to see Nagao at 133, a healthy Howard at 125, Bartlett coming off his first real taste of success in College and Yr 2 of Van Ness, Haines, Facundo and then Brooks bumping up with Starocci, Truax, Brooks and Kerkvliet. Also...Truax has said he wants to go '84, right? Assad isn't going '97, right? That would seemingly make the decision easier. God knows he's got to be tired of finishing 4th(as impressive as that may be). It'd also be VERY interesting to see a Brooks-Elam match. The differences in builds could make that a tougher matchup for Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd make ASU pretty damn scary...and so long as you have ASU's full lineup(meaning no Oly for Schultz)...it could certainly be interesting. Rather seem Teemer at 157. Not sure if he's got the size for 165. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks wrestled Loew; the length of Loew was not exactly a problem for Brooks.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's not JUST the body types I'm looking at, it's the body types of another ELITE Wrestler. I thought Elam was the best '97 in that weight(things don't always work out that way, just my opinion). Also, I wasn't picking against Brooks(that'd seem silly at this point), but Loew isn't Elam. He's be wrestling a BIG '97 pounder who's VERY good on top, tough to finish on and just took a 3rd this year. Loew took an 8th at '84. I think Rocky Elam would present a much tougher challenge. Just saying it'd make for an interesting match. Certainly a fun one for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be worse for everyone when he’s not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nagao has narrowed it down to Minnesota, Cornell, Penn State and Iowa. That isn't technically his order or preference, however that is the order he said ut chronologically. "I know actually nothing.

poorwrestler Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I feel like Nebraska is an underrated potential destination for Truax. Would allow Pinto to go down to 174. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wouldn't Nebraska be on the hook for $ and still have to pay even if he transfers is what I understand. So they would be paying him to wrestle somewhere else.

The differences in builds could make that a tougher matchup for Brooks. Nagao would slide in very nicely for the Hawkeyes to have a 1-2-3 punch of Ayala, Nagao, Woods also. Plus you have Terry there who has consistently put out lightweight talent and shown to be one of, if not the best, lightweight coaches in the country. Not sure how he fits in with Cornell unless him or Vito is moving off of 133. It seems like it will come down to PSU and Iowa for Nagao. I don't think he can really make a wrong choice with PSU's dominance throughout the lineup and Iowa's lightweight dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
