2021 B1G Tournament
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Truthfully guys, I think DT, Nickal, Nolf, Ruth all might not dominate if their first tournament ever was the Big Tens as a true freshman only a few weeks after their season started.
Everyone on the team still has an opportunity to match their seeds. Beau and Joe appear to have the toughest road to do that at this point.
Kerk wrestled a man with man strength
He’s gotta put 10pbd of muscle on next year to have a chance against top 3 guys

The good news is, it seems like he had that in the fall. What we he was dealing with had him lose a good bit of bulk. It will come. I bet he beats Parris next year, if not next time.
I don’t see the point of Aaron wrestling his semi. Anybody else thinking the same?
I'm just thrilled he is out there......gutty in my mind. If he had been able to train all winter, that match today would be close.
And the football board guys would be right here to say how none of them are the answer at their weight.
Aaron’s ankle is fine. Xray was good. Always been an fan of the effort Iowa guys display. Very disappointed at the scratching and biting. I’d like to point out that Aaron still extended his hand.
Haven’t been able to catch up with the posts. But, Channeling my inner Cael:
grateful to watch competition.
Sure it’s a bummer to not just watch everyone dominate with ease. But it’s sunny out in the Chicago burbs and I’m over serving myself outdoors. Could be worse.
It’s a bit F*n to be the underdog and when amazing happens today, tomorrow, or at nationals.

Anyone who was watching saw Aaron Brooks offer to shake hands after the match. The bleeding scratch marks on Aaron Brooks' back were also apparent. But biting too? Whoa, that's just dirty.
FULL COURT PRESS !!!!
Terry teaches those techniques. Chip off the old block.
I do love Joe Lee, I think he gets sloppy and thinks he is as another poster put it "Thinks he is Stronger than he is" If he Grows into that strength he will finish a lot of what he starts.(not bad upper body instincts, just cant finish yet)
But the Devil in me can't help but think how this team would look if Joseph came back for his opportunity to put a stamp on his legacy with a 3rd championship?? I know I know, but I think that joseph with this current team has more than a 50/50 shot at Nationals!!!!!
EDIT- Well thank you Mcsorely, I had a Dementia Moment Unfortunately....Yikes, Why did i think Last season did not count toward eligibility?? Well, That is ashame

Yeah. The straight on shots is a little "urrr".
Robbie is understandable simply due to the very limited time he has had to develop his skills by drilling live or even 3/4 drills.
Beau hasn't had the benefit of an entire season to develop those skills either.
Carter has had an entire season ro develop those some of those skills. I can't believe he has had success against Hall or Cunningham shooting straight in.
I also know the offensive attack skills from lateral movement will come, but being in my 60s quiet patience isn't a new skill set I am planning on developing late in life. So come Cael, geez! Get that straightened out.
Cenzo didn't have the option to return this year. Seniors last year basically got hosed. Freshman this year and anyone sitting on redshirt last year were the big winners.
Every time our guys step on the mat they expect to win, so there had to be some disappointment behind the scenes. That said I expect every guy, assuming healthy, to go out and give it everything to qualify. Eye on the ultimate prize in two weeks. Cael will have them ready to wrestle their best when it matters most.
I miss watching Retherford just beat the crap outta people. He was truly on a different plane than everyone else. Nick Lee shows signs of him, like today. It was such a joy to watch.
Yeah, the twins have been doing that for years. Funny thing is they don't get very carried away yapping at Cael.
Yeah, but Zain did that to people in the NCAA finals as well as his first match in the Big10s.
Come on, I underhanded that to you.
Kaleb Romero doesn't want to hear about how Nick Lee reminds people of Zain.
Matt 4 3:53 minutes is where I found his pin. It just lasts a few seconds!
It’s experience and conditioning more than anything, IMHO. He’s had 2 weeks to get his sea legs. Parris has always been a physical freak yet two years ago he was getting majored by an experienced guy named Cassar 18-9. I’m not even remotely concerned about Kerk. He’s going to be great.
