Jesse Dong had his redshirt pulled for VT and is ranked #6 at 157. Don't know why we dropped thoughIt's interesting that we beat #8 Virginia Tech in a dual meet, but VT has more projected tournament points. Likely a function of our weaker weights being very weak relative to other teams.
Most inaccurate InterMat rating on ISU ever.
I'm not so sure. As I've said before, it's very possible that Reader will be our only wrestler to advance past the second round at NCAAs.
We usually have a big December break before Midlands and the National Duals. We started exceptionally early this year though.
Coaches said in an interview that they packed the schedule early to get as much mat time as possible before Iowa.
Possible? Sure, but Jackson knows how to get his guys to peak. I think we'll have 5 or 6 guys make it into the second round. We aren't going to challenge for the team title this year, but I think we have a legit shot of being in the top 10, and will at least be in the top 15.
We're a horrible dual team this year, but we aren't that bad of a tournament team. We'll know a lot more after Midlands next week though.
. . the great ship ISU is taking on water fast. How sad. Now we can live in the past and take pride in all the great coaches we produced for other schools. What a legacy!
I think the jury is still out on this issue. Way too early to tell.
