@stuclone was pounding those Busch lights like a champ last night. Good luck golfing today buddy
Soo…in case you all didn’t know, CF does some fun “tournaments” during the offseason (not much else going on, right?) in NCAA tournament bracket format in the Off Topic Forum, headed by @CycloneRulzzz with a few others on the committee. They pit things like best cereals, best horror movies, etc. They do a great job with it.
The current tournament is “Best Sports Movie”.
Vision Quest made the tournament, but as a 16 seed against 1 seed Field of Dreams. Get over there and make your feelings known!

Is that Carter Pearson between Hernandez and Kysen?
Nice to see him going to events with the team already.
That’s the kid from Oklahoma.
Pearson had already been drafted by stuclone for his 4 some next year in okoboji
ISU Wrestling Adds Cuban National Osmany Diversent - Iowa State Athletics
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head wrestling coach Kevin Dresser announced the addition of Cuban national Osmany Diversent to the roster on Tuesday.cyclones.com
So exciting. What are the odds we see him in the lineup next year? I have to think he's taking down Kysen even if he's new to folkstyle.
I know Echemendia himself said he wasn't going 141 next year but if we fantasize for a moment...
125: Osmany
133: Frost
141: Echemendia
149: Johnson
157: Swiderski/Chittum?
165: Swiderski/Chittum/Other?
174: Gaitan
184: Naakt
197: Bockman
285: Bastida
That is one hell of a scary team.
I think Euton could be in the mix at 165. Hard worker and grinder type.
Yeah 165 seems like one of the biggest question marks for me, just not being familiar with Euton/Rojas as much and not knowing if any of the other guys are big enough to make it there.
65 is a different animal than 33 but it seems the tea leaves point to Euton having some Frosty like potential for surprise. (And he has the benefit of continuing to train with David)
Could be wrong, I haven’t seen it first hand but reading between the lines, it sounds like there’s a lot to like with that kid.
Taking it from someone directly in the program as a coach, I’ve brought up Euton a number of times over the past 2 years because he has been so complimentary of him. Hidden gem
First off, too much positivity and optimism can lead to some performance anxiety for some guys. They need doubters and people who don’t believe in them to fuel them. If you’ve ever coached you know this, we don’t know how the guys internalize things. Secondly, they are now nearly professional athletes getting paid. When we were college athletes we weren’t getting paid, at least I wasn’t. Most of the guys like the attention. But most people on here pay for season tickets, show up to fundraisers, donate, and hype on social media. When you ask a lot as a fanbase it’s fair to have criticism when performances don’t happen and the answer is just “raise more money to buy a proven commodity”. Or maybe just get the already talented guys to that next level and performing their best, that’s what you ask of the athletes and coaches who are asking for money. Yonger did not perform his best at nationals and he knows that. He would be the first to admit it and I would guess that’s fuel on the fire for next season
