Iowa Dual Grades
First off, it’s a Cyclone state :) great early season barometer and sets up a big month of December starting with the Cliff Keen next week. 125: B. Stevo wrestled well, just came out on the wrong side of a scramble. I feel like every time Stevo and Dean wrestle, it’ll be a 1 exchange match... -

I figured as we are very near the start of the season, let's see what everyone's predictions for this team is going weight by weight: 125- I think Stevo has a very good year with maintaining a ranking between 7-12 throughout the year. 125 always seems to have some crazy upsets, and Stevo has... -

Post Season Thoughts- Weight by Weight
125- I think best case for Kysen is probably a R12 finish, worst case is a bad conference tournament in Tulsa and he doesn't get a bid to NCAAs. With how long he's been out, I am nervous about how he will look in Tulsa. I think he does end up doing enough to get to Philly and goes 2-2 and makes... -
