He isn’t. But in the newest rankings he’s ranked 15th so he is underrated by most peoples opinions and he is a go’r. He is definitely fun to watch because he has a “bring it on” mentality.
Iowa Dual Discussion

No way brands won’t risk losing the dual to duck. In their mind woods is better no reason to duck
Easier for them to have an excuse if they lose. I’m sure they’ve done their homework on Swiderski.
The beauty of that is it plays right into David’s hands. If you’re gonna shoot a lot on David, those re-attacks will kill you.
Agree, David’s issue has been the stalling types.
As of right now O’Toole is exactly the second coming of Cael. Home that doesn’t mean you think O’Toole is pinning David this year
He’s been hurt but him and Cullan are the same. 15-20 ranking type guy makes no difference
You said the second coming of Cael would pin Carr. O’Toole is as close to a second coming as we’ve ever seen. 1 loss his true freshman year and undefeated since
Not ready to go there yet, but if you want to know I do think there is a chance he could in Carr. Hamiti locked up a cradle on Carr and if O’Toole gets one locked it’s lights out. 10% chance.
There was no Nelson Brands in the probables against Penn, so still can't count Lee out just yet
Loving all the chatter, fun to have a legitimate shot at winning again.
I do think we see Spencer Lee and Real Woods. Brands doesn't want to lose this dual. My guess is Iowa will want to draw starting weight, and won't use Lee unless they have to, which I think they will have to.
Looking forward to 133-197, pretty much all of those matches should be competitive, and interested to see where some of the young guys are at.
Swiderski is the last person I would want to wrestle if you're Woods and have had limited training early in the year. He wrestles really really hard.
Interested to see if Paniro can replicate the Gomez performance against another top 10 guy, and with less time off the scale. Paniro has really good re-attacks, but Murin isn't really a volume shooter. I think it will be a good lithmus test for where Paniro is at and what we can expect going forward.
I'm also curious to see where Patrick Kennedy is at for Iowa. Last year I had heard from a friend close to the Iowa program Kennedy was putting it on Marinelli in the practice room. If that is true, Carr is going to have his hands full. Still expect Carr to win, but I don't think its as much of a gimme as some have suggested.
I'm hoping with another year of Folkstyle training, Yonger has took another step forward. A match with Warner will certainly be a good indication of if that has happened.
Unfortunately I do think Iowa wins this dual if Lee wrestles, but if not there is no reason Iowa State can't win.

There’s a big difference though. Brands and Woods are hurt. Lee had double ACL surgery and people keep forgetting that
