Hutmacher was huge but had zero gas tank. Unless he improves that significantly I don't see him as a AA threat. Kueter only weighed in at 220 pounds. I doubt he'll be able to add much good weight while he gets into wrestling shape. Maybe he can be the next Anthony Cassar?

2028: the Brands retire and Spencer retires from competition and into the HC role for the Hawks

Nash coming down from 300+ and Keuter coming up from 230....a mismatch in my book.

Horrible news. Thoughts and prayers up.

Meaning if you could hypothetically equalize all of their wrestlers to the same weight, who would be the best? Obvious choices are Starocci and Brooks, but maybe Messenbrink is the best of the bunch?

A bunch of them went to Blair Academy

Rutgers is the obvious choice for the Ferraris. NJ connection, Jersey Shore culture...

Maybe Chittum comes back?

No AJ means no Angelo and no Anthony...might this result in Iowa not finishing in the top 3 in the team race the next few years? It's a dark day in Hawkeye nation.

What happens to Angelo and Anthony? I assume they are gone too since the Ferraris are a package deal?

Hot take, but putting aside the ability to win a NCAA team title, is Cornell actually the best college for elite wrestlers over Penn State or Iowa? In favor of Cornell: Elite Ivy league education and alumni network Ability to develop individual champs equal to Penn State Better ability to develop 4x NCAA champs (Cornell has 2 in Dake and Yianni, Penn State has 0 so far) Better international/FS development than Iowa Against Cornell: Fewer team titles than Penn State and Iowa Weaker international/FS development than Penn State

@LadarionLockIt 6 hours ago Already verbally committed to Oklahoma but i’m starting to wonder after this vid!

Hmm, this didn't really reveal much. Dodgeball, drilling, conditioning... If anything it just shows the effects of having such a stacked room with dozens of NCAA titles, World and Olympic medalists, MMA stars...

Seems crazy to say the #2 ranked 184 pounder going into last night is a weak link but he was the only Penn State wrestler to lose and he showed very little offense in the match. From 157-HWT you have guys who have a very good shot of making the NCAA finals and Truax is bookended by two potential 4x champs in Starroci and Brooks, but watching him wrestle he doesn't look very much like the other Penn State studs. Very limited offense from neutral, not much of a rider too. I know he's been very consistent at NCAAs but just wondering what's going on with him.

DIdn't he graduate high school close to 9 years ago by now?

When did Kerk beat Schultz?

Yup. I think Fat Tony was like 3-0 vs Kerk. Then Tony lost 30 pounds and never beat Kerk again.

Kerk has previously struggled with big heavies (like Fat Tony Cassioppi).

Is he a threat to Kerk?

AJ coming down from 230 pounds (but with a 665 pound deadlift) and Keuter weighing 230 pounds. How does this play out in Iowa's room?
