People had Chittum as a dark horse finalist as a true freshman and now we question if his ceiling is even AA'ing as a sophomore? In this program that's shown a great ability to develop kids? Odd take
Whatever could you be hinting at??Had a conversation tonight at the tailgate tour event in Waterloo with KD. I’m not going to post details as it would be inappropriate on a public forum. However, oh baby…. Let’s just say I now feel REALLY good about next years roster…. Like I can’t “wink wink, nudge nudge” strong enough. Our head honcho clearly has a fantastic plan and is executing it very well.
Whatever could you be hinting at??

Is it? He went 1-2 at nationals and got majored by a guy 99% of this board had no clue existed until that match. He has some of the same issues Kysen has and we’ve all seen how well that’s progressed. Just facts. Cyclones fans have to be the most optimistic team in all of ncaa wrestling. Yonger has made it on the podium a total of 1 time. Paniro didn’t place after getting a 5 seed. It’s great we have talent but developing them is what makes the difference.

No. Just no.He has some of the same issues Kysen has and we’ve all seen how well that’s progressed.

Is it as odd of a take as me saying he could place 7th or 8th and you taking the high road of being optimistic that he has a similar trajectory to Casey in year 2… who took 7th at nationals?So if a guy doesn’t AA they can’t be good? We can’t be optimistic about guys who have great seasons, beat really good wrestlers, and then don’t have the weekend they hoped for in the toughest tournament of the season?
Cyclone fans aren’t the ones giving Yonger a 2 seed or Paniro a 5 seed at NCAAs. They earned it by being really good at wrestling.
Yonger not placing the last two years is one thing, but acting like we’re not developing wrestlers because Paniro and Cody didn’t make the podium in their first national tournament is bizarre. Losses happen.
It is an odd take.
You said that was his ceiling. And I don’t know if comparing him to Kysen makes sense when Kysen’s main issue seems to be about lifestyle choices stunting his development more than anything else.Is it as odd of a take as me saying he could place 7th or 8th and you taking the high road of being optimistic that he has a similar trajectory to Casey in year 2… who took 7th at nationals?
Teemer won the Midlands title the previous week before wrestling Chittum.Not to take that away from Cody but Teemer definitely wasn’t in peak shape that match.
Comparing Cody to Kysen is certainly a choiceIs it? He went 1-2 at nationals and got majored by a guy 99% of this board had no clue existed until that match.

Since the NCAA is powerless, maybe they gave Reineri some eligibility so he could wrestle with his fellow Cubans in their last season?

Please tell me it has something to do with 125

I don't think people are being sensitive to facts. It's glass half full or half empty situation. Both are fact and you are seeing the glass half empty. I going with half full. CC is a great teammate and I am absolutely ecstatic he is at Iowa State with 3 yrs left + RS + Olympic RS 3 yrs from now.Some of you guys are so sensitive to facts all the sudden.
