Noonan is a transfer from Virginia who was a top 100 recruit. Should have 3 years. Rojas at 174. Hope we get M.J. Gaitarn to replace Carr at 165 in two years. Maybe get an up grade at 125. After Thursday everything is looking better!!

Safe to assume Swiderski will be a very good candidate to be our 141 next year
I think Swiderski in the lineup is gonna happen. Not sure Cam will be at 157. Not convinced Carr won’t still be there.
Did a little stats comparison of the 3 Iowa schools. I arbitrarily picked a 10 seed as my breakpoint.
We had 6 wrestlers seeded below 10th, and they won a total of 1 match! But 2 of the 3 seeded 10 or better finished above their seed.
UNI had a total of 7 wrestlers seeded below 10th, and they won 9 matches. One wrestler was seeded above 10th and he finished above his seed.
Iowa had 2 wrestlers seeded below 10th, and they won 2 matches between them. Of the 8 wrestlers seeded 10 or better, 5 finished below their seed.
I can't vouch for 100% accuracy here, but I think I am close. My broad stroke conclusion is we lack depth on this team - even more than I thought. Injuries hurt us, and I have to wonder if we were either ill or had more dings than we know of, because a few wrestlers seemed "off." While I know Dresser put a lot of effort into building the CWC - and that is really important and will help us down the road - I had hoped we would be further ahead by this point in time. But my hat is off to all the wrestlers who worked their tails off, and my heart goes out to Carr and to Attasauov.

There is nobody currently in the program that can go with swiderski at that weight
10th is a pretty arbitrary cutoff. An 11 seed for example would be favored in at least 1 match as opposed to a 27 seed who wouldn’t be favored.
Here is the thing about NCAA wrestling tournament. You get all your points from AAs. Guys winning one match is fun and all, but they don’t score you many points. All of those 9 matches won by the UNI low seeds scored less than Bastida.
You want to be a top 10, or a trophy team. You need 4-5 high AAs. Not 7 guys winning 1 match. PSU continues to show us this again and again. Their 5 in the finals are in 1st place all by themselves.
That’s why I have high hopes for next year. If our 3 AAs can increase their total from the 37.5 they scored to say 40, and ISU can plug in one more American (Maybe Swiderski, Terukina, or a transfer). They’d be at roughly 40 points. That’d put them about 8th. One more guy.
I know he's technically not in the program anymore but does that include Parker as well?
I know this is 100% hypothetical, but I’d take Swiderski and not feel bad about it.
I tend to agree. I also feel like David looks smaller than his 157 competition… 165 he’d be the quickest one out there, but I think it could lead to more guys stalling and trying to ride their way to victory, not unlike the match he lost.
That right now swiderski is damn good.“Currently in the program”. What do you know Tigerguy?
But big time college wrestling is a different story, but right now this kid is primed for success. And soon

Very excited for finals! Lots of fun here in Detroit.
Shoulder injury, wrestled against Parris to help clinch team title
Agree, sure wouldn’t know it from watching him wrestle.
If you’re associated with Beavercreek wrestling…woof that’s bad
Major fail to make that comment from your team account. Ignorant at best.
