And don’t forget Paniro. 2x he’s been seeded in the top 8 at NCAA. We can’t count on it, but the talent is there to make a run.
I think this ranking is close to a best case scenario, but there is no denying that this team is going to be pretty dang good. Need everyone healthy as possible in March.
If anything, I don't see Casey placing above Ech at 149 (but you could swap Ech and J Frost and have Ech placing 5th at 141 and J Frost 8th at 149 pretty easy).
Webster 157 Downey 165 Voelker HWT. I don't see Jamison at 157. Lot will change before the season starts. Ech and Frost could flip weights as well @TheJackWePack5
Doesn't account for the 2 or more of Iowa's "heavy hitters" annually falling flat on their face at nationals.

How we feeling about this fellas? Would be a nice rebound IMO
Yes he's gonna try for 125 . Haven't heard how bad his injury is from the Open which could change that
I could see Downey trying to stay at 57 with Simma and Thomsen returning at 65/74.
A lot could change on ISU lineup but I’d argue we will get something out of 125 and 165 where he has nothing given to us for points.
Don’t think the 141/149 situation for J Frost/Ech changes a lot for predictions as Stu basically eluded to.
A cyclone fan who has swiderski finishing ahead of ech? Questionable to say the least.
I think they are pretty fair. Still plenty of room for improvement from those placement points, too.Team Rankings

Still room for improvement from a roster standpoint too.
Exactly Riggins showed up the week school started many things can still happen
I just hope this year he comes out guns a blazing. He has the potential at making a huge run in March just need to be in the right frame of mind.
I mean Swiz has all the tools, and I hate to say it, but being with David Taylor is probably going to help him a lot. Based on the wrestle off with Ech a few years ago, they are very close. I'd love to see them meet in the semis or qtrs at nationals because its gonna come down to a takedown. They both have the same struggle with bottom imo. I hate Swiz left as he was probably my favorite guy on the team.
He’s also had close wrestle offs and lost to J Frost before. No matter who we have at 149, it’ll be a close battle with Swid
These seem pretty similar to how I would put guys right now, outside of ech I think that's a head scratcher assuming he recovers fine from all his injury/sickness trouble. Castillo at 125 is one I think he misses but that might be fair right now. Really highlights the weakness we have from 157-184. Obviously have a lot of pieces there but I'm prepared to be super frustrated with this entire group.Team Rankings

Count me in on being high on 165. Was always high on the frost boys and equally high on both of our 165 guys making big time strides.
Expecting us all to sleep "better" in a say a week or closer to a month?!? Lol
IMO it would have to be at 157 or 165 if we are looking for immediate roster improvement...

Maybe I’m a little too optimistic but I think we match up well against OSU in the dual. Only issue is it’s in Stallwater next year and you know the officials won’t give us the tough calls. Should be a fun dual though regardless.
