2025-26 Lineup
- Thread starter CycloneFan97
- Start date
If the NCAA is still in charge of applying the rules like this, not a big fan. Their decision-making on a case-by-case basis has something left to be desired, to say the least. It will continue to be a cluster.
They need to tighten the rules for Olympic redshirts. Cadet & Junior medalists shouldn’t be eligible for Oly redshirts
Most of these guys that take Oly redshirts don’t even compete in the trials
For those of you with a Flo subscription, they visited ISU recently and have posted interviews with Dresser, Yonger, Anthony, Frost Bros, Panrio & Stevo. Lots a fluff, but some interesting take-aways.
1) Stevo is one intense and confident young man. He truly believes he should be a NC by now and will be this year.
2) AE goes into some detail about his journey to the US, beyond what was even in the documentary from a few years ago.
3) Dresser details 'wrestle off' plan.
A) First round before BYU game
B) First 'best of 3' wrestle off next day at Ames high
C) Second 'best of 3' will be placement at an open tournament (Cyclone open? didn't catch)
D) If split 1-1, they will likely have the rubber match immediately after the open tournament
E) Said these results will be 'locked in' until Nov/Dec and then could change based on performances.
4) Dresser said Evan will need some time to get to 133, likely to start at 141, with Grice being #1 at 133 to start.
5) Jacob and Paniro both locked in at 149. Imagine that could change based on wrestle off results.

Very disappointing that Evan won’t be at 133 to start. Could be the difference in bonus points in the Iowa dual.
Couple quick thoughts on that.
He’s got a month and a half to get the weight dialed in.
Dresser said this summer that Grice might just beat him out, regardless of weight.
he said getting him down through november to me that sounds like theyre gonna get him dialed for the cyhawk
also for reference grice did not get blown out by ayala when they last wrestled and also would not be surprised to see any osmany curveball if he can get down to weight
I assume 141 with little frosty as a backup or going to open tourneys or something.
KD could also be dicking with TnT a little, knowing full well what the plan is.
Yes, I forgot about their meeting. That is positive if Grice can keep that to a decision. Grice definitely showed a lot of improvement last year, and if he’s the guy, I’ll be hopeful he can make some noise in March.
Tough hearing about Bartley dealing with injuries again. I was looking forward to seeing him compete this year.
