Lineup for this year

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Seems we have a better idea of any guys leaving.

125 - Vega (Baker transferred to Wartburg)
133 - Simmons or Parker (Parker wrestled tourney at 61 Kg, appears to be staying at 133)
141 - Storr
149 - Straw, Dante or transfer
157 - DiBlasi (Baptista transferred to Nebraska), maybe Briceno
165 - Breitenbach?
174 - Dane or Hank Swalla, Entzel
184 - Teague, Dane or Hilleman, Egli
197 - Colbray
Hwt - Harrington or Gremmel

Kind of questionable from 165 to 184. Not sure if I missed someone

Hilleman is no longer with the team, from what I understand.

I think we'll consider starting some true freshman like Gomez and Coleman. Dresser started lots of true freshman at VT. Dance, McFadden, Epperly all come to mind as guys that started a true freshman.

I think there we will more likely see Straw at 157. He had a very hard cut to 149.

Heard some rumors that we may have more guys transferring in into the middle weight range.

From what I'm hearing it sounds like we have 2 149 lbs transferring in (1 who could wrestle 157)

Call me crazy, but I kind of think Harrington could grow into a really good HWT

And I also think we could possibly see some true freshman starting next year with the middle weights being fairly weak - Coleman at 165/174 - Gomez at 133 (I personally would redshirt him) - Leisure at 149 (I'm really big on him so maybe i'm being biased)

Any more info on these 149 transfers? Are they difference makers? D1 transfers? Juco?

How about Danny Bush at 184 and Jarett Degen at 149?

And I think we'll see Straw at 157 and DiBlasi at 165.

Forgot about Danny Bush.
I did have a transfer listed at 149, but haven't seen Degan announcement yet.

Don't disagree with Straw
St John might alter DiBlasi at 165

I know it hasn't been announced yet but seems very obvious Degen will be at ISU this year. He has been in a ton of photos this summer with other ISU wrestlers (specifically during the recent Boji trip).

He looks pretty big..

Yeah hard to believe Storr and Degan are 8 pounds apart. (141 & 149).

Was told not to long ago that Degan is not big enough for 157 though.

Yeah its crazy to see the differences between Gomez (133), Storr (141) and Degen (149)
I'm excited about Degen - he's going to be tough. He took it to Happel a couple years ago IIRC

So could this be a possible lineup for next year?

125 - Vega
133 - Simmons or Parker
141 - Storr
149 - Dante or Degen
157 - DiBlasi or St John
165 - St John or DiBlasi
174 - Pestano
184 - Bush
197 - Colbray
Hwt - Harrington or Gremmel

Lineup is looking better but still a long ways to go

I must have missed something, maybe because we haven't had too many high-caliber kids transfer in here recently, but do wrestlers not have to sit out a year when transferring?
