Perennial top 10 program, the 11th best in the Big10, Rutgers listed down at 16. That can not be right.

I am biased certainly, but I think Iowa is the #2 team. Penn State the clear #1

 

[tomsc]

Heinselman, Moore and Singletary could make that line-up look a bit tougher!

If history tells us anything, Ryan will burn Heinselman's shirt. He and Romero are in the same boat as our Freshmen, unranked now but probably ranked by January.

I tend to agree with Turk, I like Iowa's lineup better.

..... yeah.... my vote for #2 would go to Iowa as well.

That Buckeye lineup was very “eh”.

Ohio State wrestles the same conference schedule as PSU each year, part of the scheduling model for "rivalry" teams. Means Ohio State and Iowa won't meet this year, same as Iowa/PSU not meeting. Those duals would have been fun.

On paper, I'd pick tOSU over Iowa in a dual, though one bout could swing it to Iowa's favor. Tournament-wise, looks like tOSU too, but not by much, and will be affected dramatically by guys entering the line-up for the first time...so could change as the season progresses.

With all the unknowns, hard not to consider Iowa, tOSU, and Okie St as 2a, 2b, and 2c early.

Iowa is #2 with Lugo and Warner coming in. Solid lineup but far behind the boys in blue this year. Okie St is solid too but not convinced of any champs in their lineup. O$U has Martin as champ and maybe McKenna. Moore will run into Bo.

Thanks--I was out of the country and missed the tOSU wrestle-offs. I've now caught up and understand. tOSU hasn't done so well in Hwt recruits lately (Snyder wasn't really a Hwt recruit initially).

Speaking of a hopeful top 10...

[James P. Whitters III]

I think Iowa will out score tOSU in the dance, but a dual between the 2 with tan tom letting everyone compete would be epic.

125- Iowa 6 tOSU 0
133- Iowa 6 tOSU 3
141- Iowa 6 tOSU 6
149- Iowa 6 tOSU 9
157- Iowa 6 tOSU 12
165- Iowa 10 tOSU 12
174- Iowa 14 tOSU 12
184- Iowa 14 tOSU 16
197- Iowa 14 tOSU 19
285- Iowa 20 tOSU 19

What's up with Moore?

 

[nerfstate]

What's up with Moore?

Focusing on training for U23 Worlds for now.

Bo tells me Sugar is going to let Martin take him down and then cradle him up from underneath for the fall. Just because that is what they (PSU kids) do.
