Wrestleknownothing Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Once they are done with the portal I think Iowa's lineup looks like this for next year: 125: Figueroa 133: Crookham 141: Alirez/Mendez 149: Alirez/Henson 157: Haines 165: Mesenbrink 174: Starocci 184: Keckeisen 197: Buchanan 285: Kerkvliet There will be a three way wrestle off between Alirez, Henson, and Mendez for the two spots. With this lineup, I think they keep it a little closer to PSU, but in the end it isn't enough. 1 2 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either Hendrickson cuts to 174, or Braeden Davis bulks up to 174. Maybe both and another wrestle off.

Maybe Mizzou should get some "store-bought transfers" because having 5 of "their own wrestlers" go 0-2 at the dance can't be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 LOL Missouri is literally recruiting transfers HARD right now as we speak. They were in on McGonagle (and lost out) and are currently in on Hendrickson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, it's the world we're living in. Get with it or get left behind. Okie State was very much against it in the beginning and saw their results dip. But finally brought in a stud transfer (Olejnik), and liked how that experiment went and now are all in on it. It's part of the deal if you want to win.

Elaborating further. 4 out of the top 5 teams this year had multiple transfers in their lineup, with Cornell being the exception (I don't think Ivies can even take transfers).

You're bringing up this year, but your team took 11th. You're bringing up the lack of a trophy this year without acknowledging that they lost multiple starters (including high point scorers) to a stupid (and illegal) gambling sting operation that only two schools in the country had to deal with. You're criticizing bringing in transfers while your team is actively recruiting transfers. You're just being disingenuous because you want to dunk on Iowa, but they literally outperformed your team (and it's two total team trophies). I have to grin and bear it from teams that beat Iowa, but not from the 11th place finisher who on a yearly basis underperform their seeds, no sir, not on my watch.

Truzzcat Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I wonder if Jacori ends up going 165, I know that was the original plan, but by the sounds of it there is no way levi is doing 157 again so you'd think it would be worth it to make the cut at what looks like a deep but wide-open weight next year. Meyer will be back, but they never hit so while I'm one of the biggest believers in Meyer there is you'd have to put Jacori as the pre-season favorite and close to a lock to make the finals.

Little known fact is, not only is Dake getting younger, he is also getting larger and smaller at the same time. It is a quantum thing. If you aren't a theoretical physicist you wouldn't understand. But, as a result, he is actively petitioning the NCAA to change the compete at one weight rule. Cornell and PSU lawyers (again - the quantum thing) are all over this. 1 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the beauty of the cinna-buck is it becomes worthless upon transfer to pay off the debt from a losing bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
