These early season meets always get a little crazy, i could see frost not handling his first time to 33 well and getting bonused. Not likely but stuff happens. I could see gaitan deciding not to defend his legs and get funky with kennedy and get bonused. Iowa probably didn't have Peterson getting cradled and pinned by bouzakis on their bingo card. With the 3 point takedown it only takes 2 takedowns, ride out and escape to major.
Cy-Hawk: Pre-Dual Thread

History has shown us in this dual:
Toss ups go to Iowa
End of the period scoring goes to Iowa
Momentum goes to Iowa and they upset us at one weight in the match
Until we break through, Iowa deserves to always be favored even in years where on paper it looks even.
Boy I hope this is the year!!!

In all likelihood, we won't see the best lineups for either team. Who of the following doesn't wrestle will likely decide the dual. Evan, Ech?, Vinnie, Rocky, Williams, Keuter. Couple that we how either team may shuffle and all our predictions go out the window. Going to be fun!
Don't know enough on Iowa's side.
No reason to think Evan won't go, he seems to be right on track to get down to weight by then. Same with Rocky, we all know he's on a pitch count this year so no surprise he didn't wrestle on Friday. Ech/Yonger probably on a bit of a pitch count early this year as well, so don't think Ech is a question mark. Vinnie was the only one I can think of that maybe got dinged up a bit in the invitational, but we're in good shape either way there if Frost goes.
It looks like Coach Bob was in charge of their poster this year.
125 after this weekend / they need to give DeLuca some real consideration to replace Peterson/
What a terrible and weird graphic
That’s where it’s tricky. Yes he got pinned by Bouzakis, but he also beat NCAA finalist Troy Spratley.
My concern with J Frost is, is he managing weight for the possibility of 49 or would he be prepping for 157?
Always tough to manage weight for 49 and bumping up to go against a top 10 guy.
I assume Paniro is our guy at 149. He beat Frost in the wrestle-off and hasn't lost any matches.
It's a good question. I'm assuming Plan A is for Vinnie to go but if he wasn't available for some reason, I don't know exactly where Jacob's weight is at. I'd be curious what he weighed in at Friday. If he is/was planning on going 149 for CKLV, then he would have been no higher than 155.9 to make it down per the descent plan rules by then.
Regardless, I've seen enough of Jordan Williams to say I'd pick Frosty even if he's giving up a few pounds. Assuming Williams is a go that is. He only wrestled the one match at National Duals (got smoked by Kannon Webster) then Voinovich got the next two.
Any chance Brands Bros shuffle bump anyone? I know I saw some talk of bumping Ferrari 197 in the offseason and putting in Arnold for the dual, but I would assume that's not happening with how Endene looked this weekend.
My point exactly Iowa didn’t show they could get 1 TD let alone 2 TD against top wrestlers. Never know but I really doubt all of sudden they are going to break out next week.
I will guarantee someone will lose next Sunday that is a favorite. More than likely there could be 2 or more. If you look objectively at the two teams (BTW, Stevo did beat Peterson last year but seems like people are trying to ignore that) right now you have to give ISU the slight advantage. Fortunately, the meet won’t be won on paper and will come down to ISU finishing their shots because they will probably have at least a 3-1 advantage on shots taken.
Should be a classic and I can’t weight.
Tom Brands knows his job security is tied to annually beating ISU. (See “Jim Zalesky”)
Keuter will be wrestling.
Keuter will be wrestling.
He did beat Seth Mendoza who is a stud, but was wrestling up for sure since he will be redshirting.
While I agree, he’s probably not beating a healthy Vinny at 157, so does he try to manage weight for 149 or just go 157.
Know what I mean?
Zerben is healthy and they’re very excited for him at 157.
