I watched Minnesota v. Iowa last week. Lee went all 7 minutes, but he was gassed! I think he is beatable, much more beatable than RBY.

He’s beatable, we’ve seen that but I’ll bet it’s not at ncaas.I watched Minnesota v. Iowa last week. Lee went all 7 minutes, but he was gassed! I think he is beatable, much more beatable than RBY.
I’ve thought the same thing, he’s not looked very enthusiastic at times in his career but he comes on strong when it counts. He’s a 3x all American going for his 4th.Caught some of Iowa/Michigan last night. Watching a first period tech fall at the high DI level is always crazy to see.
Jacob Warner doesn’t look like much until the match starts and then he just turns into an animal, fun to watch.
That is crazy, any Idea as to why?I find it crazy that yianni diakahmholis is the 2 seed at 149 in the EIWA.
He has a loss and a couple close matches, but I don’t think they were in conference.That is crazy, any Idea as to why?
I am not a betting man, but it is likely a pretty safe bet he will be on top of the podium this weekend and a good chance again in two weeks.He has a loss and a couple close matches, but I don’t think they were in conference.
I don’t think I’d bet against him in the ncaas even if he did wrestle to seed at the conference tournament.I am not a betting man, but it is likely a pretty safe bet he will be on top of the podium this weekend and a good chance again in two weeks.
I think I heard them say the only losses Parris has in his collegiate career were to Steveson. Or did I mishear that?I don’t think kerkvleit has ever beaten Paris. Paris would probably be a 2 timer if it weren’t for gable Stevenson. I’ll take kerkvleit tomorrow. Paris in 2 weeks. Sadly I think Cassiopeia is a good distance behind them, but there are a couple other guys too. I think it’s mental for some reason. The top 4 heavy’s at ncaa could all be world champions at different age levels. Paris and kerkvleit were junior freestyle, Schultz is a Greco Roman world champ and Cassiopeia is a under 23 world champion in freestyle
I think you are right. Kerkvleit was undersized as a freshman and injured as a sophomore but now he has turned it on. Parris is just a beast. That weight has been deep for a long time in the big tens even beyond the top 3. The 4 that are left on the backside, Hilger, orndorf, Davis, and cassioppi are all AA.I think I heard them say the only losses Parris has in his collegiate career were to Steveson.

I almost picked Bartlett to win the bigs yesterday. I thought it would be woods and Bartlett in the finals. Minnesota has some good solid kids that if you were a wrestler on the backside of the bracket you would not want to face them. I’m surprised, but not surprised, blockhus made the finals. Him and Sasso are both stingy, hard nosed guys. Whoever can get a takedown will win that match. I hope it’s Blockhus, he went to high school about 45 minutes from me, same conference as our kids school.Sidebar: @Gellar - looking forward to your annual NCAAs thread. *hint hint*
Minnesota and Nebraska both impressed yesterday.
I was hopeful Bartlett would make it into the finals, but we are looking pretty good for NCAAs; I think we qualified 9 to go to Tulsa. We Are!
I don’t follow wrestling too close anymore. I wrestled from the time I was 6 until my sophomore year of HS. we wrestled a couple tournaments a weekend, me and a couple friends were pretty good and every time we wrestled a tournament in Iowa it was tough. There is really good wrestlers in Nebraska but not top to bottom like Iowa. There weren’t many fish over there.I’m not going to comment on Nebraska because I don’t want to give @Stocker the satisfaction of me, an Iowan, saying something good about Nebraska.
Probably the best high school wrestler in Nebraska history was actually from Iowa. He went to a private school in Omaha, wrestled collegiately at Iowa and now wrestles internationally at Penn State. I cant mention his name because it blows Iowans minds thinking about it.I don’t follow wrestling too close anymore.

Another “too big for your britches” moment in my life. (I’ve had a lot). I never lost a match in middle school, so I of course thought I was billy badass. It didn’t take long my freshman year wrestling 171 to know just how not badass I was. I got my butt kicked, much to my coach’s enjoyment. He always liked seeing kids get knocked down off their high horse and I got bucked off and then rolled down a mountain.
That’s the last nice thing I’ll ever say s out Iowa.
