Also... I'd say that's a high level training partner for Kyven!
Yeah, getting out is usually a major weakness. Get decent at that and they are in great shape.Woah! Always a challenge to make the transition to folkstyle, but man those are some freestyle credentials right there. Looks like a physical specimen and if he's been wrestling U23 I'm guessing he's going to be significantly older than a lot of his peers on the college level if he's a 4-year guy. That's always going to be a benefit from a physical maturation standpoint. He's going to be a fun one to keep an eye on.
YesWas this what buf was talking about?
I feel that way too. But are there different variables in place here? Is comparing those two apples to apples?Wow... these are the kind of surprises that can make my week
However, I will be keeping my expectations low because of what happened with Anthony Echemendia.
And Fernando is in Ames. Huge differenceYounger is signed, Echemendia was not
Sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nutThere are people that know more than me, right Tigerguy?
I agree. Hopefully opens up a Sunnyside/AZ connection. Did Fernando Jr relocate with the family to Ames?And Fernando is in Ames. Huge difference
It looks like he projected to be 97kg for Cuba this year. I think his fastest route to making an impact would be at HWT. Not much mat wrestling going on at that weight. He could then drop down to 97kg for FS. Similar to what Snyder did. In any event they have to have a plan where both he and Schon are in the future lineup.Yeah, getting out is usually a major weakness. Get decent at that and they are in great shape.
Better to have that problem than struggling to find a decent wrestler there.It looks like he projected to be 97kg for Cuba this year. I think his fastest route to making an impact would be at HWT.

He must have. He was registered under IA for Super 32.I agree. Hopefully opens up a Sunnyside/AZ connection. Did Fernando Jr relocate with the family to Ames?
Fernando Jr. is ranked # 2 at 195 in AA, Wrestling for Gilbert.I agree. Hopefully opens up a Sunnyside/AZ connection. Did Fernando Jr relocate with the family to Ames?
Be nice to get another hammer at 57 or 74 to train with and push David.All of a sudden, the future is looking pretty bright for Iowa State wrestling. We will be young for a couple years after this senior class graduates, but theres a lot of talent there and this staff excels at developing guys. Lot to look forward to with these lineups:
125- Ramazan, Kysen, Reeves, Cabanban
133- Ramazan, Knopick, Kysen
141- Gomez, Redding
149- Cam Robinson, Paniro Johnson
157- Cam Robinson
165- David Carr
174- Manny Rojas?
184- Broderson, Shapiro
197- Coleman, Bastida, Shapiro, Schon
Hwt- Duggan, Bastida, Schon, Greenlee
Lot of hammers in that lineup. Main concern is depth at 157 and 174, but I am guessing the staff has a plan for that. Excited to see the recruiting continue to improve!
