This lineup w/o Evan made no sense to me
Dude. We have 3 AAs for 2 weights (E Frost, J Frost and Ech). I thought EF had a RS year which would have allowed J Frost and Ech to handle those weights while E Frost bulked up to slide back in when Ech is done.

Knowing now that E Frost doesn’t have a RS, I understand that won’t work, but hopefully you now get where I was going?

Enter the new leaders this team needs and we build around…Frost Bros!

Don’t need the glitz and the glamour; Show Up every day, no excuses, reap the rewards
7th place and DNP are not getting us into the top 5. Love the frosts a ton, but you need top 4 guys. They’re the kind of guys that you surround a star with, but they’re not the centerpiece. Bastida could be that guy. You get 20 from him and then add in 6-7 from each Frost and we’re in good position.
16+ from AJ would sure look nice too.

I don’t disagree we need more points from everyone. I hope the Frosts become the team leaders and the young guys follow their lead in the room moving forward though. Love their attitude and everything they’re about- wish some other guys would take on that mentality and just keep grinding to get better

As a team, we didn't do well this year. But it is mostly the same team that took fourth last year. I am optimistic.

Thanks for all your inside information on AJ. Just stop.

I’m sure the coaches and administration will due there due diligence if/when that time comes to make a decision.

They have several tough decisions to make over the next month or two to determine what they want/need at every weight as well as team chemistry. Hopefully, they make more good decisions than bad. Otherwise, they may not be here much longer.

You don’t have to be an insider to know he is an absolute sleaze ball. Hell, we have a guy on our team who left his previous team over their association with that family. We all laughed our butts off over the idea of Iowa taking him. But now we are suddenly interested and desperate? That’s laughable.

They will make their own decision, of course. We are just here expressing opinions. Not making decisions. What a silly point.

Need 4 AA's and 1 of them better be a finalist at minimum it seems like anymore to crank out the top 5. That's what we have to have.

Don’t think either one can finish higher than 7th? I do.

Both have AA’d as underclassmen.

I think 4th is the ceiling for both. Mid-low AA is good for them. Just my opinion. They’re grinders, but not sure that they have the ability to be a true contender. They’re both pretty far behind the guys in the title conversation.
