Midseason RPI and Coaches Rankings (CR)
I think he will be 6-7 after he beats Hart, and then hope to get 3-4 matches at the LCO versus other D1 guys (not on ISU's team obviously). 10-7 with some of his signature wins and a tough RPI might earn him a slot. Either way, he can steal one at conference. -

Eek, we better get a friendly D1 school to send some of their 141'ers to the LCO. -

Thinking about the LCO, do matches against teammates still count? -

***#3 Iowa State at WVU (Friday)/#18 Pitt (Saturday)***
Agreed, Pitt is stingy and well-coached. They match up well with us. We should not overreact to a couple of tough duals on the road in early Feb. This is a long race, and peaking in March matters so much more. -

ISU No. 3 in NWCA Rankings
Does that mean Ramazan won the first wrestle off match? -

KD Fund Raising?
I sort of agree, but athletes without good senior level practice partners are just athletes, not great wrestlers. RTCs (with their practice partner depth) changed the landscape of college wrestling in the 2012-2022 era. NIL is a new frontier, but we have yet to show the ability to acquire and... -

KD Fund Raising?
Welch's post history aside, this is a legit question. We had and currently have some hammers, but we have yet to bring in an RTC athlete to whup their butts. Guys need 3 types of practice partners: 1) guys that beat their ass, 2) guys they are kind of even with, and 3) guys they can build... -

Spot on, n No way he does both and is relevant in both. He should pick one and go all in. -

U.S. Open Wrestling 2022
Agreed. The risk/reward tradeoff in freestyle from neutral has guys more open and confident. Knowing you can risk an attack and give up a TD and not get ridden for 2 minutes with guy on top just running you out of bounds and dropping to a leg has these guys wrestling wide open. Plus you can... -

USMC Folkstyle National Championships
1) where was this when the "team" needed him...seems like a pretty straight forward linkage 2) I think you are tiger guy, which is a message board/forum name. If you want to reveal your true identify go for it. I am not sitting anything out, "sport." I don't care who you are or what you think... -

USMC Folkstyle National Championships
I guess if you are going to judge a guy's commitment to the "team" by the outcomes of one tournament, you really don't understand collegiate and/or senior level wrestling. -

USMC Folkstyle National Championships
Are you f*%king kidding me?! What a messed up thing to say. You obviously don't know **** about wrestling or what has gone on in the program the past 3-4 years. -

***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***
To be clear, I meant the Metcalf era, which would be post Dresser. Perhaps that came off wrong. -

***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***
Good take, Matrat. A lot to unpack from this season, trying to stay positive, and I agree, lots of good people in the program. I had a big long "War and Peace" about ready to fire, and it seemed too negative. So here is the Reader's Digest version: 1. In-season tourneys: Regardless of the Iowa... -

***Big 12 Championship (Sat.-Sun.; Tulsa)***
Point is he came back from being down 6-0 after getting broomsticked. This is D1 college wrestling, guys just don’t suck so bad that you should major everyone, and sometimes a 6’2” 141 pounder might have some weird specialities/tricks. Would you have preferred he didn’t come back and win? -

He might just be the best neutral wrestler in the country. -

***Big 12 Championship (Sat.-Sun.; Tulsa)***
Not sure what the answer is, but several things have evolved and become apparent over the past 4-5 years: 1. Dropping down to a leg when the bottom wrestler stands up and running him out of bounds will rarely get called as stalling unless one of the sacred few programs are on bottom. Example... -

LOL! Got some time on my hands and feeling a bit salty with everything right now. Just getting a chip on my shoulder for Natty's. -

***Big 12 Championship (Sat.-Sun.; Tulsa)***
Ironically both from Young Guns in PA and already had a fun, attacking style before they got to Iowa City. Morningstall & Dumb & Dumber have been unable to negatively affect their style as much.
