Wrestling Recruits

[buf87]

Iowa State had a big recruiting visit this past weekend. These are the guys that I think were there.
There are probably more, but don't know all.

List appears to be
Mark Voss - (141 pounder)
Nathan Boston - committed - #74 overall by intermit (113 pounder), #51 overall by Earl on D1
Logan Ryan - #94 overall by intermit (132 pounder)
Hayden Tuma - #10 overall by intermit (138 pounder), #19 overall by Earl on D1
Marcus Harrington (195 pounder)
Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer - commited -#37 overall by intermit (132 pounder), #56 overall by Earl on D1
Maolu Woiwor - not sure he is a senior this year
Will Schany - #53 overall by intermit (182 pounder), #67 overall by Earl on D1

good to see us filling some need weights in 125 & 141 with Boston and Rodriguez-Spencer.

Tuma would be a great recruit to have. might grow into a 149lber.

I feel like we are #1 for Harrington. seems like he would be heir apparent to Kyven.

Maolu Woiwor - not sure he is a senior this year

I looked it up. Maolu is a Junior this year. already a 2-time State champ for Apple Valley. Did not wrestle Varsity while in middle school.

we also have Dane Pestano of Hawaii in the room now. He is also a 197 pounder

Marcus Harrington ‏@Mr_88th 2m It's official. I'm happy to announce that I will attending Iowa State University and wrestling as a cyclone next year. #allin #cyclONEnation


Harrington committs

 

[isuska]

beat me to it Buf.

 

[buf87]

If Kyven tries and get his 6th year and with Dane Pestano in the room now as a freshman and Marcus Harrington coming in next year, we should be set at 197 for awhile.

Hope we add Schany at 184 and with Jesse Doyle here, we would be set at 184 also.

 

[BirdOfWar]

So Harrington isn't currently ranked in the top 100? Any chance that will change?

 

[isuska]

so I quickly made a breakdown of wrestlers at each weight and year (based off cyclones.com roster)

put Goettl at 149 and redshirted all True Freshmen

EDIT: need to click to see it. RS'ed Meeks as well

EDIT #2: * means Redshirting

 

[buf87]

Nice job, I know Bauer can't make 125 anymore. Probably needs to be 133. Is Staudt a soph and 1st year out?

a little googling tells me Adam Staudt is a True Freshman, was a Senior '13 graduate.

REVISED for Bauer

that's fantastic

 

[buf87]

what I am hearing, is Gabe will go 141 this year, Lelund Weatherspoon will be wrestling 174, John Meeks will go to 141 next year.

so something along these lines?

125-Larson/Swarm
133-Hall/Bauer
141-G.Moreno/Terukina
149-Goettl/Swalla
157-Nicholson/Molina
165-M.Moreno
174-Weatherman
184-Beard
197-Gadson
HWT-Smith

 

[buf87]

Probably pretty close. Hall might end up at 125 and Bauer, Terukina and Hallman battling for 133. The one that doesn't get the spot will probably go back to 141.

:jiggy: i like the sound of that

 

[buf87]

I think performance at certain weights might cause some guys to move around to make the team. Don't know who wins battle of Hall and Larson when both are down close to 125. Same with Hall, Bauer, Hallman and Terukina.

Performing on full feed is different than when down to weight

 

[crawfy54]

so something along these lines?

125-Larson/Swarm
133-Hall/Bauer
141-G.Moreno/Terukina
149-Goettl/Swalla
157-Nicholson/Molina
165-M.Moreno
174-Weatherman
184-Beard
197-Gadson
HWT-Smith

This appears to be a competitive team! Excited to see what this year will bring with the experience we have in this line-up.

 

[isuska]

I just saw a tweet that Bauer retweeted (sorry on phone) with a picture of Bauer, Hall, Strickland, I think Pestano and not sure on the last guy.

Definitely no way Bauer sees 125, he looks huge. Hall looks very long/tall.

EDIT:

 

[Primetime26]

Idk about you guess but I am excited for this year!

I do think we have a lot of unknowns, but not necessarily bad ones.

125: How much has the OTC benefited Earl? I think he is least at competitive as Ryak last year.
133: Who wins the job? Bauer looks much more solid. Always had offense, defense scares me. How did the redshirt help Shayden?
141: Excited for Gabe. Seems to be putting in the time!
149: The bump up can only help Luke right?
157: Head on collision! Molina is improving at a very quick rate. So if Nicholson can step in and beat him, thats a good problem to have.
165: With expectations high, how does Moreno perform? I think AA
174: Really love watching Tanner wrestle. I think he gets AA status this year!
184: Really happy to see that someone is really pushing Beard. Hope to see him take the next step.
197: Kyven is Kyven. Should be the rock in the lineup. AA
HWT: Literally HUGE ? here. Quean seems to have the size and strength, but is he just to raw yet?

Anyways, those are just my 2 Cents. Hope the program takes another stride this season!

Just saw Bauer on campus and spoke to him briefly. Sounds like he's going 133 and Hall for sure dropped to 125. He also mentioned Gabe going 141 and Goetl at 149.
