Both those bros are not yet eligible for either the 2025 OR 2026 (HS SR year) tourneys. Their first possible tourneys will be 2027, after Taylor & Ruth graduate.
I thought I read Bo was ending highschool this yr and starting Iowa next year (like some football players do)
 
Yep...I'm done...what a 24 hours it was. I went a bit too aggressive, established my alias, replied to every MSU 158 post that I could, and the mods snuffed it out. No regrets.
I'm not over there because at this time of the year that place is a waste land, but MSU158 I am pretty certain has some comedy gold just waiting for me to laugh at
 
What Iowa wrestler did the turd ever have losing to their PSU counterpart, and yet it keeps happening ... ?
 
I worked out a deal with the GIA mods for temporary ban status relief to stir up MSU158. I'm back baby! If you need some entertainment between sessions I am pestering the vociferous one himself over there.
I’ve heard of another guy over there who is working on establishing a solid relationship. For the current time.

Did Todd Conner finally have his first beer?
Bless his heart.

Will believe he's gonna be on the roster when he shows up on the roster. Would be exciting but I don't see him wrestling folkstyle in college
It’s one giant head fake to get Bob to spend more money bringing in a mercenary via the portal that will washout in day one of next year’s tourney.;)

The Brands are good coaches who have had bad luck.

They are unlucky that they coach like bad coaches. 😀
The best argument is Ironturd "we don't peak at nationals because duals are too important at Iowa" (or "WE don't PEAK at nashnuls becuz DUALS are TWOOOOOOO important at IOWA!!!!!"). We really need to lay a goose egg on them one of these years and change the mental gymnastics to "but the in-state CyHawk dual is the most important date in the season" since DT is clearly going to start beating them soon, too.

You can tell duals are what matter most to them since their results at nationals causes them existential angst I can feel from here
 
Not necessarily Spencer, but js and madden and the other more level headed guys over there are suggesting that perhaps the Brands' approach isn't conducive to long term success are getting shouted down by the usual "we like our coaches" guys.
Madden and js are pissing in the wind with them.
Madden is seasoned enough to try and stand beside a tree, js is pissing straight into it and pointing it up as well.
The rest of the sane posters are on hiatus somewhere..
 
What are the chances of UNI outplacing the hawks and Iowa being relegated to second best school in the state two years in a row?

Unlikely. Keickeisen is their only likely finalist, and Happel is the only other alive in the quarters.

Happel does have a shot at the finals -- he beat Hardy earlier this year.

But Iowa has 4 probable into the semis, and 2 likely finalists (133, 165).

Honestly, I don't think this is true. There is 1 really adamant Brands defender (MSU) who keeps posting, but I think the general vibe is much more on my side of things. There is a lot of dissatisfaction with Brands on HR, even from longtime posters who are diehard fans.

With that said, they can still have a good tournament. Outside of the injuries, things have mostly been solid. Gabe took a beating, but he wasn't the favorite in that match. PK beat the 6 seed. Kueter dominated Feldman. Ayala and Caliendo are still on track for the finals and Buchanan is on track for a dogfight with Ferrari. The typical "underperformance" hasn't happened...yet.

Kennedy actually has a very solid path to the 3/4 match.

Augustine in BR
Wask/Incontrera to 5/6
Devos to 3/4

If he places Top 4 at 174, he would be default into #2 to start next year. He's also actually offensive and could bonus his first 2 opponents at NCAAs if he got a Top 4 seed. Don't see how you give that spot to Arnold next year if Kennedy does the thing this year finally.
