Elevator Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I do not know him personally and do not generally pull for wrestlers from Iowa schools, but I will feel pretty good for him if he wins NCAA's this year. A lot of fun to watch with his pace and toughness. Hope he stays healthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fun to watch with his pace and toughness. Hope he stays healthy. I am all for this. I feel bad for Lujan. He was set up nicely to win 2020s. That would have been cool to see UNI have three NCAA champs at 184 in a 5/6 year span. I would also be heavily interested in seeing him and Voelker swap weights after Brooks/Hidlay and a few others clear out of 197. It will give Voelker a year of adjusting to get to 184 with him actively competing with him. "I know actually nothing.

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 He was the #1 seed last year and didn't come close to winning it despite making the finals. I don't see him getting a more favorable seed and draw than last year, unfortunately. Seems like a great kid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will open the season as the favorite in what looks to be one of the weakest weight classes next year (along with 125). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Truax will be at 184 this year now or is he taking Kerk's spot? The last time they were both at 184 they split matches. 6-5/6-4. Last year Truax wrestled drastically undersized and still beat the defending NC at NCAAs. How do you not consider him on the same level as PK? 1 "I know actually nothing.

He lost to Truax his freshman year by major, then lost two close 2 and 3 point matches...then pinned him in the finals of the Pac-12 tournament that year. The semis with PK was close until the injury that put him on crutches the rest of the tourney. Munoz gets noticeably better each year.

Truax is right there with him (as been proven). forgot about him back at 184. so i guess Keck isn't a heavy favorite, but he's THE favorite imo. I'd pick him rn. wouldn't you?

He has been more consistent than Truax I think. I likely would pick him. If all things were ending right now, PK, BT, and TM were all undefeated I imagine that PK is the 1 seed. That means he skips out on the bottom semi-final. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
