Im still picking Iowa to win the dual, but this Iowa team has no business being ranked 2nd. This has to be the worst Iowa team on paper in the brands era, and imagine if Spencer wasn't back for his 7th year of college or whatever it is. They have a lot of guys ranked high that really haven't done much. Woods is ranked 2nd and his highest finish at nationals is 6th and murin is 4th and has never AA in 4 years just to name a few
I want their full lineup against except maybe Lee. Minimizes their excuses when they piss and moan if we beat them. Hell, I almost want them with Lee. It gets a whole lot harder to beat them but it isn’t impossible to do it with him either.
I mean, are we confident the roller coaster that is terekina is going to beat whoever they throw out there instead of Lee? Might as well hope Lee wrestles and see if we can beat them any way
Neighbor told me that kid was an ass in Iowa City , got a point deducted for something , I wasn’t really paying attention enough to know for what , taunted the crowd .
I’ll see if my neighbor can shed any light on this , he has good info.
Agree. I looked into him when he hit the transfer market and was almost shocked to see his accolades. He’s good no doubt but I expected more from how people talk about him. You would think he was almost a defending champ, but he hasn’t even been a finalist yet.
He’s notched some good wins in his career (Gfeller, Demas, Alirez, Hart, Grant Willits a couple/few times) and some close loses to dudes. He had a murderers row at last year’s NCAA and while lost 3 in a row, they were to Nick Lee (3-2), SeaBass (3-2) and Cole Matthews 7-3.
According to this, he’s still a go:
My neighbor heard a couple weeks back he may not be a go for the All Star Classic but it's been quiet lately. He said he wouldn't be surpirised if he didn't go but it's getting pretty late to pull out.
That’s the rumor. Woods has been dinged up for a while though, so can’t necessarily blame that on Iowa.
I think he’s dinged up. I doubt they will wrestle him vs Swiderski unless he has a couple matches under his belt.
If he is wrestling in the All-Star classic, he wouldn't be wrestling this weekend anyway. We won't see Carr or Terukina vs Grandview on Sunday since the All Star bout is next Tuesday.
I can understand that.
