If all the other teams in the Big 10 could form a super team ...

[PSU Fan in TN]

Using the most recent iteration of WrestleStat: if the other 13 members of the Big Ten were to form a super team consisting of the highest ranked wrestler at each weight, that team is projected to lose to Penn State in a dual and in the NCAA tournament (based on just the Placement & Advancement Points and based on the Total Points).

It's gotten to that point where it's like that Ditka/da bears skit where Chris Farley predicts little mini Ditka to shut out an all pro team lol

But Van Ness is 149 and Real Woods is 141? Are you thinking Woods is bumping up?

I wouldn’t project anything based on WrestleStat data.

The gap is widening and must be a concern for many in the B1G. NIL is killing the competition. Iowa looked terrible vs. Penn. my god have they regressed. Their style will not inspire any elite recruits or transfers. The PSU room is so talented.

I think everyone including Cael knows there is no such thing as a perfect team. I also think a goal of Cael is to eventually build the perfect team. Lol

I "coached" a perfect team. 3 years in a row the girls won The Back Mountain Brawl which is the most prestigious elementary lacrosse tournament in NEPA.

Now 5 of the girls are div 1 field hockey players. 🤔

I stand corrected.

I would really like to see van ness and lovett. Think svn does well.

People over on HR laughed when others suggested Askren as coach of the Hawks. Some weren't so happy when I pointed out its likely that there will be more Askren trained wrestlers winning the Nattys this year (Keegan and Parker) than Iowa has had in past 4 or 5 years (Spencer) Hell, if it's true that Messenbrink could go 157, I think it'd be 3 titles this year for Askren. Lol

 

[Roar More]

It's gotten to that point where it's like that Ditka/da bears skit where Chris Farley predicts little mini Ditka to shut out an all pro team lol

That was my first thought. I was wondering if we were using mini Starocci and mini Brooks.

You scared them away from lacrosse?

Come the B1G finals, this might be more than just a hypothetical exercise. LOL.
