2023-2024 Line Up
- Thread starter ST8TAILG8R
- Start date
There are way too many unknowns right now…
1. May have some off the mat issues. Besides some already rumored there is still 4 months before the first action. March lineup may be different than November.
2. Will ISU admissions accept AE? No reason to think they won’t but this is ISU. If admitted then I get the vibe there is a very high probability he will be in the lineup.
3. Some guys may decide to go down a weight after school/practice starts (i.e. Parker senior year).
4. Competition is at a high level at the first 5 weights. Until someone separates themselves then all of the weights are up for grabs. This is a good thing!

I don’t know the specifics on 133, but I don’t believe it was a failed drug test, but maybe got busted for possessing paraphernalia?
I am fairly confident at Swiderski or AE being the 149.
The charges are matters of public record. He has 2 pending charges. 1 for possession of drug paraphernalia (simple misdemeanor). The other is for possession of a controlled substance - marijuana 1st offense (serious misdemeanor).
Gotcha. I didn’t realize that.
Regardless, wouldn’t expect him to be sitting too long.
Just took a flight from Greenville, SC to Atlanta. I passed a guy in 1st class wearing an Iowa State shirt. I said, "All right, Iowa State". He smiled and said, "Go Cyclones.". That guy was David Carr, at least I was 98% sure it was David. It didn't hit me who he was until 5 seconds later and when I was long past him going to my seat.
Nate is at Davidson so maybe visiting though Charlotte airport closer. I didn't see him after I got off the plane. I wasn't going to be a schmuck and ask him about any differences he will do against O'Toole. I was going to ask him who we should expect to take the next big leap like Sam did at heavy last year. And was going to close it out by saying to kick Mizzou's ass for the team conference title.

Yes, he was visiting his brother. His Instagram had some video of them scrapping.
Saw him at the Flat Tire and I agree he's huge in a good way. I think 197 will be really good for him (and us).

Updating my 149 starter prediction to Casey or Ech with the Paniro Johnson news..
Wow. So is that likely just a 1 year penalty, or what are we looking at?
If it’s only Paniro, and only 1 year, really not that big of a deal for wrestling.
If it’s $45k and betting on Iowa State sports, I think a year is best case scenario..
Either 1 of 2 things. These kids getting paid isn’t good when they can’t handle the responsibility of money, or he’s taking bets on for multiple guys on the team through his account.
Paniro, a Big 12 Conference champion at 149 pounds last season, placed wagers totaling $45,640 on approximately 1,283 bets, according to the complaint.
