Bummer. I was wrong. I thought everyone was stating that the two late transfers werent going to be 1st semester eligible.
Iowa with a solid win over Oregon State.
They got beat at 125 and 157 but I believe both spots were back ups.

Drake looked great.
Block looked pretty lackluster.
Caliendo was great.
Fell asleep during Brands and Arnold, but assume I didn’t miss much but handfighting.
Buchanan looked really great imo. I thought Munoz was so slick and hit some awesome attacks, but Buchanan grinded it out and found a way to win. He’s going to be tough to beat.
Kueter looks plenty strong to me. Slower than I would have thought though. A couple nice attacks, but not super impressive.

The Iowa board said he didn’t make the trip to Oregon for personal reasons and should be back this week.
Who are you referring to?
What championship are you referring to? It will be a pleasant surprise if anyone is within 50 of PSU, or if we’re in the top 5.
They were wrecked by gambling suspensions last year. It was our best shot in a long time. It’s why we finished ahead of them at NCAAs This year’s dual won’t be very close.
As usual, totally overreacting to a dual loss without our 3 AA, Johnson & Gaitan. Can we let this team get all or most of the pieces together before putting limits on what they can do.
Now that we have seen a little bit of ours and their team, here is what I've got.
125-dont know much here so let's call it a tossup
133-i think frost here, but let's call a tossup
141-if swiderski isu should be a good favorite
149-tossup
157-iowa favored
165-iowa favored
174-iowa favored
184-iowa favored
197-iowa favored
Hwt-isu favored
This will be an uphill battle in carver, a lot will have to go right to win this we really need to win at least 3 of the first four matches to have a shot imo and that's a tall order.

So judging by this, it’s at carver and Iowa just boat races Stanford it sounds like a very uphill battle.
The common stanford result doesn't mean much honestly, we will likely have different guys at 33, 41, 57, probably 65, hwt, and maybe 125. 3 of which are all americans, frost, swid, bastida. And one more Johnson who is proven in freestyle to be near that level. And a more proven guy at 65. Iowa is just very good this year and have bought several studs. Long terms is buying rentals and losing depth/dev guys gonna bite them idk.
Here are the chances of an ISU win at each weigh imo.
141 - 80%
285 - 70% - I probably give Keuter a better shot than most, but Yonger should win
125 - 60%
149 - 55% - Parco probably the favorite on paper, but I like AE to win the TD battle.
133 - 45% - not overreacting to an Ayala loss when Frost can’t even make weight. We’ll know more after the all star
157 - 45% - Paniro will be right there. Needs to steal a takedown and avoid the dunk.
184 - 40% I think this is our best shot at an upset. Expect a 1 td match
197 - 25% - pretty decent odds for a freshman against #1.
165 - 1%
174 - 0%
141 - 80%

Fairly or not, perception will be that we’re massive underdogs. That helps us IMO. If our best lineup goes, I’d only put 165 and 174 as matches that’d be shocking if we won. 149-157 will be story as IMO we’ll be ahead after 141. I like AE and Paniro to give those guys everything they want and more. Particularly I think Teemer is someone that has not been particularly consistent and Paniro is going to be on a mission this year.
Frost made weight. Dresser didn't like his weight management during the week.
