  1. Yara going back to RU
  2. He is visiting RU this weekend for an official visit.
  3. Agree all around. Poz shouldn't drop to 184, I think he was fine at 197. His biggest flaw is that he gets in his own head and becomes very timid at times. Other than that he's as solid as they come and he can definitely AA again at 197.
  4. It's a very solid dual lineup once again next year but the middle/upper weights from 165 - 184 are a wildcard. They would really benefit from 1-2 transfers at these weights, depending on what happens with Turley and/or Soldano. 165: RU needs a 165 transfer in the worst way. It's not anything new, as the weight has been an absolute dumpster fire since Richie Lewis in 2017/2018. White isn't good or big enough to compete in the B1G at that weight. Luke Gayer doesn't seem like the guy either, so if they don't land anyone in the portal it's going to be another massive hole in the lineup. Absolutely the #1 priority this off-season besides finding a heavyweight for the following season when Yara is done. 174: Hopefully Turley runs it back for his final year, but I know his body has taken an absolute beating over the past few years and he hasn't been able to compete at the level he would like to. He said he hasn't made a decision yet, but if he hangs it up there aren't many good options at this weight currently on the roster. Shane Cartagena-Walsh was solid in open tournaments this year as he won the NCO and Black Knight Invitational but not sure he's at the level to compete in the B1G yet. 184: Soldano needs a RS. He needs to get stronger. He is noticeably smaller than most of his opponents and regularly gets overpowered in 50:50 positions, which is a huge issue given his funky style... he would be great at 174 but I don't think he wants to make the cut. If he does RS, this would be another weight where they don't really have a backup and would desperately need a transfer.
  5. Didn't Iowa beat ISU H2H this year?
