Intermat and Other Rankings 1-9-18

[Judoka]

New week, new rankings. Lots of shakeups with the holiday tournaments but no huge movement for Iowa State. At 141, Kanen Storr moves from #18 to #16 due to Jared Price of Navy moving up to 149 and Cole Weaver of Indiana dropping down. At 149, Degen goes from #20 to unranked because he's on the other end of that Jared Prince move.

#1s, Big XII, and Iowa wrestlers listed below. Added in Arizona State and Virginia because those are the two teams we'll wrestle on Friday in pool action at the Virginia Duals. Since we don't know yet who we'll see on Saturday I'm not putting in all the Virginia Duals teams.

Flowrestling has Storr at 11. No other Cyclones ranked.

 

[Judoka]

The Open Mat put their rankings behind a paywall so I won't put them up.

Edit: They just screwed up when they posted them this week. They're not paywalled anymore. They have Storr unranked and Degen at #19 at 149.

 

[Primetime26]

We will see if we can get some momentum from the first dual win.

Hoping to see Parker back in the line up and an additional new face or two.

Anyone got predictions?

I got 9-32 ASU and 18-16 ISU

I haven't gone through to do predictions yet but that seems about right. Arizona State is gonna blow us out and against Virginia there's going to be a bunch of tossups (outside of 125 and 133, where they're gonna win and get a bunch of bonus).

 

[Judoka]

The Paulsons are at Virginia, which adds a bit of intrigue to that matchup.

 

[Primetime26]

Virginia dual should be awesome to watch actually. Your right, we will be counting on Straw to win (I'm sure it'll come down to a takedown). If Storr, Degan, and Dane can push for bonus we could afford to lose one toss up.

I am looking forward to a good fight at 133.

Do you think they take Simmons out of the lineup? I just have a hard time believing they are going back to Parker already. Dresser did have some sharp criticism for Simmons but also sees his potential. Could see them both this weekend also. Excited for this weekend to see if we can continue gaining some momentum into Big 12 season.

Personally I think (read: hope) it’ll be Parker. Simmons didn’t do anything to impress me this weekend, and Parker, even with his struggles, still has our best individual win of the season.

Any chance this weekend is televised?

It is paid, $14.99 for the weekend . I've never used it since I already do Cyclones.TV and Flo so I don't know what the quality or reliability is.

If there is very little difference in the two, I would like to think the staff would go with the wrestler that best exemplifies the culture, hard work, and attitude they want this team to display. From many of Dresser's comments, this seems to be Parker.

Or you put the guy out there that you think will do the best. Since Simmons has already lost by major to ASU I'm sure they will go with Parker but against VA I could see them using Simmons as Parker gives up to many bonus points against guys like Mueller. If Parker beats Ali and wrestles well the rest of the weekend then I'm sure the spot will be his going forward. What worries me about Parker is weight management (no fault of his as he is a big 133 pounder). This past weekend he had fairly close matches against two really poor wrestlers but then kicks butt against the better guys in his last three matches. I'm assuming the weigh-in impacted his performance during the first two matches. I wouldn't be surprised is we see a couple different 165 pounders (might as well give Jennings a shot...he has dealt with several injuries and major weight gain the past few years...maybe he is adapting to 165 if his latest performance was any indicator) and potentially Dante and Gremmel a match or two, if healthy.

 

[Judoka]

Carson Kuhn (Boise's 125 pounder before their AD decided to be a jackass and cancel the program for baseball) just committed to Penn State for the Spring. I doubt we were in on him but man, that would have been a nice pickup if we were.

Here's the Virginia Duals Pools/Brackets (.pdf) for anybody who wants to look.

Since there are 13 teams I wonder what happens to whoever takes 4th place in the York River pool. Do they just not get to wrestle on Saturday?

 

[crablegs]

Calling Degen over Maruca.

Edit: Of course, they may wrestle Tsirtsis at 149. Then I'd pick him

I know Parker was not pleased about them going with Simmons. Felt the coaches were not being fair and not giving him a chance to wrestle off. Hope that lights a fire under him.

He travelled with the team though, right? I assume he goes against Nazer, since Simmons had been majored by him already
