***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thursday, 6pm CT)***

[Land Shark]

Need to shift NIL strategy to HS studs or ncaa under classmen. Spending on 4th/5th/6th year guys is not producing value expected.

If we could get those guys- we would. We have a few coming in but it is really hard to get the dudes that everyone wants

 

[Diehardisu6988]

So many torn up knees. At some point it’s not just…bad luck

I whole heartedly agree. How many ******* guys have knee braces or their knees taped up damn good before a match? This is getting beyond frustrating

 

[Marcelason78]

What were the scores for Dean and Bastida?

 

[OKClones]

Rocky had to have done something to his knee in practice after Big 12’s.
His mobility was there at Big 12’s.

 

[Urbandale2013]

We are done for the night right?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Pretty dumb to **** on our transfers because of things out of their control in terms of injuries. Rocky was nails all year. Blowing your knee out at NCAAs is just insane bad luck. Same with Dean getting injured while he was wrestling his best all season or Vinny getting a freak concussion at Big 12s.

If only our guys blew knees out at NCAAs.

It was prior.

 

[Cylife]

We didn’t spend money very well in the portal.

We need to stop paying for old AA transfers. Just pay a young top 20 guy with a little upside and a few years left and keep adding a blue chip freshman recruit or two every year. Elams not going to AA at this rate

 

[BCClone]

What were the scores for Dean and Bastida?

Yonger was like 20-5. Dean was losing 0-4 last I saw.

 

[Gerbs]

Rocky didnt look like he wanted to be there at all. Bellied out multiple times.

 

[matclone]

Did Bastista get the tech? They cut away.

Yes. His opponent was no match for him.

 

[peatyscotch]

Elam looked like he had to catch an early flight home.

Before people on here make comments like this, find out what was going on. This was not Rocky as we know him. All season long, he was almost impossible to take down but today, Cotton was getting a leg way too easily.

 

[Land Grant]

Unpopular take: Dresser is a well liked but average coach who has leveraged ISU’s above average wrestling support to deliver above average but unspectacular results. I fear this is the best it gets.

Or in the last 20 seconds of the match vs Novak

Well considering we are 9th in money spent on the program these are the results

 

[JM4CY]

I’d like to see AJ try that head slapping crap with Yonger and see how that works out for him.

Thank you first sense I’ve read in last 2 pages…all the transfers have lauded Dresser and Co and have wished they were here longer…Dean was looking great when he beat Ryder then boom a knee…Goes without saying Rocky was a stud all year, then boom a knee or something during practice? At availability he said he was feeling great?!?!

 

[ianoconnor]

Or in the last 20 seconds of the match vs Novak

Yea it looked odd to me how he gave up at the end of that match

 

[matclone]

JFC, the negative Nellies are out tonight. What misery!

 

[Cyclonewrestlingfan2022]

Damn 3 guys in the quarters really sucks…… especially for the team we supposedly had this year. I swear this university is cursed in all sports.

 

[alabamacyclone]

Looking like a Bastida/AJF match-up tomorrow.
