true, but that is Spencer. I think his UVA career will be similar to DeCamillo'sSpencer Lee laid waste to that kid a few times last year - brutal beat downs
The recent interview on Pa Powr said he had decided to delay his choice.
C Pyles has been razzing Willie about him and Reenan being too high for months. Suriano's body of work dwarfs eitherIs Marinelli overrated or is he really the #3 P4P wrestler right behind Spencer Lee and Mark Hall.

That would mean Cael has inadequately planned for him. I think we can safely strike that as a possible reason.Have to wonder if available money at PSU may have something to do with the delay. No inside knowledge here whatsoever. Just a program outsider wondering in public.
He also beat Manville around the dip in Manville's form where he lost multiple times in a short period of time, including twice to Hidlay. I'd like to see them wrestle again.Thanks for the explanation. I really didn't see all the fuss about Marinelli and why the IOWA board would think it would be close. The #3 P4P wrestler should not be majored by anyone in high school. I know he beat Manville, but that was in OT and by one takedown. And others have beaten Manville also, but Manville has proven to come back and beat top wrestlers. I think Manville/ Marinelli would be another close match and much closer than Marinelli/Hall.
Sure he is, but there is no reason for him to be on pfp ahead of Suriano for example.The kid is good. It was a 1 point match in the second. So, Hall just exploded at the right time and caught Marinelli on a few moves. The last time they met in Freestyle two years ago it was only a two pint difference at the end. So, it's only one match.
LOL, maybe Willie is a little shell shocked from negative Iowa fan criticism so he gave him the benefit of the doubt!.Sure he is, but there is no reason for him to be on pfp ahead of Suriano for example.

Marinelli did nothing to stop Hall once Hall got going. Marinelli cannot score on Hall. I think it's more likely that Hall would Tech him on their next match than for it to be close again.
Don't discount the Iowa room. Gulibon beat Clark at first too.

You have Gulibon, Morelli, Beitz and Phipps departing next year, so likely not a ton of scholarship $ tied up in those 4. Spencer Lee is a full ride kid I would think. I have to think Mark Hall, Manville and Suriano commanded fairly high scholarship $ (likely offset by the departures of Morgan Mac and Nico). I would love to see the inner workings of how scholarship $ is worked out and divided. Guess its time to dip into the unlimited NLWC slush fundThat would mean Cael has inadequately planned for him.

Hall will be in the line up in 2 years not 3. He will red shirt next year then be in the stating line up....

I meant if they wrestled tomorrow at their existing skill set. Posters are saying that it was a close match except for *some excuse*. I just never thought it would be close. And if they wrestled tomorrow, I still think Hall beats him decisively.
I would never discount the IOWA wrestling room. They churn out National Champs like we do and still have an outside shot at winning the Team Race.
Another way to look at it is with 9.9 scholarships, you have 1 per weight. Going forward, we will have Cortez and Suriano on ship for the first two weight classes.
Iowa will have the following kids coming in:
120lbs- #2/#2 Justin Mejia (2017) #5/#7 Justin Renteria (2017) #8/#9 Jack Wagner (2016)
I don't believe they have any more money to offer, than what we do...
That's a horrible post...
Can we dump lemonpie?!?!
Except Cortez isn't wrestling in the first two classes, he's going at 141 next year. Jimmy heading down to 133.
,Cortez will have no problem maing 133 next year. He was wrestling 141 for heavier competition.Except Cortez isn't wrestling in the first two classes, he's going at 141 next year. Jimmy heading down to 133.

The ignore button is your friend...
Say what? After Cael had a year to put a viable team together. Do you actually think about what you were saying before you posted this nonsense?
Three National Champs... to 9. That's 3 times the number of National Champs... champ.
Iowa while a good tournament team... lacks the added firepower at Nationals that has led to Penn State widening the gap in National Champions and hence National Titles. Think and use data before you post. Complete drivel you slopped out of your mouth.
I would argue that Iowa has a very viable chance to battle it out with OSU, North Carolina State and Ohio State for 2nd, 3rd and 4th in MSG.

Guys not trying to be rude. Just real...The Iowa days are over !!!! There are other better teams in play now....It's just a fact like it or not....big third period....puts Marinelli on his back three times including a spladle for a 14-5 win.
Spencer Lee.If it works out that Cortez is at 141 lbs in two years, Suriano is likely the only current wrestler on scholarship in the first 2 weight classes.
