Hokeye Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Real Woods is the next most likely imo. Kennedy of the young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are looking beyond this year, I think with the depth at 165 with the likes of O'Toole, Carr, Hamiti all being so young Kennedy winning will be a tall task. I am interested to see how the young talent Iowa has brought in produces. Would not be surprised if it were someone like a Kolby Franklin at 197 or a Cody Chittum at 149.

Gus Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Cody Chittum is going to be very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingFan89 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Chittum would be the obvious answer but I think Cael and Company will coach their guys up batter and he won’t get over the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Drake Ayala, Nate Jesuroga, Cody Chittum are the most likely. Tony Cassioppi and Jacob Warner are possibilities this year, as is Real Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I am shocked how people aren't putting Warner at a solid #2 to Lee. He was an eyelash away from winning it last year and I've read about how he's looked different, in a very dominant way, this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you actually watched? .He didn't look better against Elam or Penn.... he looks to be further away from a national title than he was last year. Obviously things can change, but based on what we have seen so far I would not pick him to make the finals. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take last year's bracket and wrestle it 10 times you would get 14-20 different finalists - the champion had two match-deciding calls go his favor in large part due to his last name and The Carl Effect. If Warner is a 2x finalist or DNPs in March no one will bat an eye. That's just the state of 197 since Nickal and Moore graduated. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBluegill133 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Real Woods for this year, development wise Chittum or Ayala would be my guess. TnT develop lightweights and he already has the pedigree. I expect Ayala to make big jumps.

Everything that I have watched or seen on him shows that he is very good in wrestling positions which include scrambling, flexibility, and strength. In my opinion these would be traits for athletic ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion these would be traits for athletic ability. i am with you that there are different types of athleticism, in his case after seeing him in High school a significant amount, he really has to wear guys down before the points come. As much as I admire that, even at a high level in high school the points should sometimes come sorta easily to a guy whose gonna track as an NCAA champion. I went back an forth with a friend about how bouzakis would tranlate, because he wrestled with so much power, and the one time I've seen him this year (he was bumped up so maybe unfair) he didn't look great. I am not trying to be smug and simplistic with this statement, but everyone in college is strong and in shape, thats not what makes for monster freshmen.
