Kennedy will be back for Iowa st. Also wouldn't count Drake out for that dual either. I could see 184 being a mix of guys and whoever competes will be the guy. My opinion Gabe is probably the best match up for Feldcamp in the dual . Swafford/Riggins and maybe Gabe gets his 5 between 174/184 Edited August 23, 2023 by Corby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same guy also wants it to happen with Caliendo as well. He is less crazy for that? "I know actually nothing.

Kueter is a 4 star recruit and has a solid chance at getting drafted. Hokit wasn't even a starter his senior year in college for Fresno State How many D1 wrestlers in history have actually played in an NFL game besides Neal and Hasselrig?

Oregon state still has wrestling, but an example would be Jess Lewis - an All - American at defensive tackle and was drafted by the Oilers - he played one season in the NFL. He was also a 3x AA and 2x NCAA champ at heavyweight. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was who I brought up earlier, but part of PortaJohn's response was he never actually played in a game. But I was assuming there haven't been more than a few particularly in the last 30 years or so that have. Which maybe that's part of his point, but not sure when we're defining as "the old days." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11986 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 definitely old days but Jim Nance is another one that I don't think has been mentioned. 2 time NCAA champ ('63 and '65) and if wiki is to be believed still holds the Patriots record for career rushing touchdowns with 45. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few less in the 80s into the 90s. And there are currently none that I know of. We live in an era where premier athletes devote themselves to one sport. It's even becoming more prevalent at the high school level let alone college.

It’s definitely an imperfect system. It will be interesting to see how the appeal process goes for these Iowa wrestlers. I have not heard what they bet on yet. I’m guessing that the the Iowa WBB tourney run was part of the bets for Cass, Brands, Assad, Sebreicht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Cobe has a 'replacement' for the season. If they intend to go that 'Oly' route I expect him (Brands) to enter the Open in December. "I know actually nothing.
