SVN out for the year. This hurts.

It obviously would help schools with the deepest pockets who have wrestling. I think Ohio State would benefit the most and could overtake Penn State.

Woods is the best and the favorite to win it this year. Just too big, long and quick. And he's super tough on top.

How many finalists and champs do you have?

Penn State beat Lehigh yesterday but it was not a totally dominant win, even factoring in some guys missing action like SVN and Brooks. 125 - Gary Steen looks largely like the same wrestler from years past. Tries hard, still too small. Not a NCAA qualifier. Their other options in Howard and Davis did not wrestle. I think Davis is probably their best bet since Howard cannot stay healthy. 133 - Nagao lost and it wasn't close. Granted Crookham may be the best 33 pounder in the country but Nagao didn't have much for him. I think Nagao still AAs but I don't think he's a finalist. 149 - SVN did not wrestle for some reason 157 - Haines won but did not dominate. He looks banged up already. 165 and 174 - Mesenbrink and Starocci looked great. Need to see a larger sample size for MM to see if he's big enough for the weight. 184 - Truax looked great, but he's likely not a finalist either and definitely not beating Keicksen. HWT - Kerk looked good but may have gotten injured So I still think PSU wins it all, but we may need to pump the breaks on having 9 AAs, 7 finalists and 5 champs. My prediction as of now is 8 AAs: 133, 141, 149, 157, 174, 184, 197, HWT. 4 finalists at 149, 174, 197 and HWT 3 champs 174, 197 and HWT

Tom Ryan is a top 3 coach. This is a ridiculous thread.

Any ideas who had the upper hand when they were only 1 weight apart at 174 and 184 respectively? Both are super studs, both will likely be 4 timers. Brooks despite being the heavier guy is actually shorter than Starocci. I'd be so curious to see them wrestleoff.

For some bad boy coaches: Pat Downey Austin Desanto Jaydin Eireman

What about a guy like Jason Nolf or Zain Retherford?

More ideas: Ben Askren Yianni Gable Steveson

Good adds

Say you're a top HS wrestler and you want to wrestle D-1. Who would be the best new head coach you would be excited to wrestle for? Some suggestions: David Taylor Kyle Dake J'den Cox Spencer Lee Logan Stieber

Aaron Brooks is 5'9 wrestling 197.

Carter should be scared. Gabe just beat #5 at 184.

Did he effectively stall his way to a victory?

I didn't know Colombia was known for something other than coffee.

But what if you just didn't see this?

Can Vito still be in the top 5 after losing to a freshman who isn't even the starter on his own team?

"There is a new top-ranked team in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) NCAA Women's Wrestling Coaches' Poll. The University of Iowa sits atop the poll." It didn't take long for the Lady Hawkeyes to overtake their male counterparts! https://www.themat.com/news/2023/november/16/iowa-is-no-1-in-new-ncaa-women-s-wrestling-poll-north-central-next-at-no-2
