Iowa State Wrestling tournament

- Start date
Will be interested at 132, since Ayala bumped to 132
Ashton Barker still committed to the good guys too, right?
Helgeson-Barker-Griffith will be interesting at 170.
Block-Ayala would be awesome to see in the finals.

Lots of good 2A kids but I have no idea if any are a Cyclone lean. I’m guessing Ben Kueter 3A 195 is a hawk lean but the kid is a must get.
I’ll be watching my son wrestle, looking forward to it
3A team race should be a blast between Waverly Shell-Rock, SEP and Waukee. I'll be pulling for Waukee, but could come down to which team racks up the most bonus points.
As for guys I want to see at ISU...
3A 106 - Carter Freeman
3A 113 - Nate Jesuroga
3A 132 - Ryder Block
...Lots of other good wrestlers of course, but these three have monster upside I think.
Side note, as a Waukee alum, it's really fun to see how that program has developed. 12-15 years ago when I was there no one cared about wrestling. In recent years they've been challenging for team titles and producing some talent. Biscoglia is pretty good at UNI, Anthony Zach was a state champ, Carter Freeman is going to be a big time recruit, Cole Ferguson is headed to OU, etc. Hopefully they keep producing hammers and send a few up to Ames!

I'm keeping a close eye on 1A 120.
You got Lopez (defending state champ at 113 last year) meeting up with more than likely Kellen Smith a freshman from West Hancock (who lost 8-4 to Paez of Lisbon in the first round of state duals) in the quarters. Followed up with Funk from DB in the semis (who lost a burner to Paez in the state dual championships last night in OT and placed 5th Last year).
Then you have Paez on the bottom side who is the defending champion and Jace Rose who got 4th last year at 113. Definitely a fun one for me being from up North and from smaller schools. Backside could get real fun in this one

Some of the lower weight 1A brackets are going to be fun to watch. Quite a few of them have 3 or 4 studs at the top.
ISU signee Coner Knopick is in the finals 126 in Nebraska with all pins
Couldn’t agree more. All 4 years of my high school career DB had it all but wrapped up after the opening session.
