Kysen Terukina just signed with Iowa State. Younger brother of former wrestler Shayden Terukina. Ranked #95 overall on the Flo big board, but he has a ton of upside. Very good late addition to the class!
Kysen Terukina
- Thread starter stuclone
- Start date
That's a nice late add. Kysen has slipped down the big board over time, but that seems like maybe it's because he's not as active nationally? Hard to be super active of course when your in Hawaii and its more challenging to travel.
Like the addition!
Like the addition!
So Degen was a room guy also? Ranked #83 in the 2016 class

Good thing this staff's specialty is developing these caliber wrestlers into AA contenders
Reeves is a very small 125. No chance he wrestles 133. Lucky if he grows into 125.
I guess if we are saying what a wonderful job they have done with #83 Jarrett Degen what about the job they have done with #11 Gomez, #23 Colbray, #45 Shapiro, #67 Gremmel, #78 Coleman.
I’ve been paying attention to the wrestling forum for years now. And I’m not going to be one who pumps rainbows and unicorns in a thread if it isn’t warranted. But to me ACSlater is either a horrible troll or a Negative Nancy you never ever ever ever want to have a beer with. Could be wrong. Should reserve judgment. But, man, what a buzzkill.
Didn’t call either a failure but if you think Kysen is the type of recruit we need to get us over the hump and not just be a room guy then don’t expect us to be back to where we once were.
As buf stated, too early to call out the development of Gomez and Joel. Especially when Gomez was a R12 wrestler as a redshirt freshman in one of the toughest weight classes of all time. Colbray has come a very very long way with this staff and a lot of people on here were ready to give up on him. The staff has done a great job with him. Gannon has improved a lot too and had a very good chance at AA this past year. Coleman needs to have a big offseason, and he had a tough year but he still qualified and I have faith they’ll get him to R12/AA status.
Any others you’d like to discuss?
This “room guy” is ranked #52 on InterMat. Only losses I can find were to #8 McNeil & #16 Mastrogiovanni. Has wins over Reyna (IA recruit), Munch 2x and Slyter the past couple of years. I doubt if he has had the best training situation so it will be interesting to see how he progresses after a few month in the room.
