Next year: Projected Line up

Cornell lawyers put a stop to PDIII going to Iowa. Winning four titles at four different weights in the same year would have made Dake’s feat less spectacular

Isn't this Lee's junior year? If so then next year will be his senior year so no red shirt possibility in 2022 right

My bad, 2021 & 2022 not 2022 & 2023, you are correct

Nick Lee will be the returning undefeated NCAA champion next year. He won’t red shirt and he won’t go 149. He will be the 141 next year.

125 Howard
133 Bartlett
141 RBY
149 N. Lee
157 Busiello
165 J. Lee
174 Starocci
184 Brooks
197 Beard
285 Kirkvliet

So you are discounting Berge in favor of Busiello? If Brady is healthy I don't see that happening..

I'd love to see Bartlett get a shot, even as a true freshman. Seems as though he's really fundamentally sound with great defense that would allow him to be immediately successful.

I hope you're right. I don't like the redshirting of upperclassman just to make the team better in a year. I know it's more common in wrestling but I still don't like it. In football Houston tried that this year and their best player just left haha. Love it.

If rby, lee, and Brooks are healthy and the best at their weight then they should be out imo.

Yes -- NCAA limits athletes to attending 2 D1 programs. That's why a number of guys go to a lower division school as a stopgap.

That's part of what tripped up Downey going to Iowa -- he had already been at Nebraska and Iowa State.

Of course, being the NCAA, there are likely exceptions and waivers that nobody understands even after being approved or rejected.

I recall watching a Flo interview with Downey and Mark Bader last year where Downey said ultimately it was Tom Brands who put a stop to his transfer to Iowa. He said he worked hard completing his degree online to become eligible to transfer but ultimately Brands didn't think he was a team fit. I believe he said something along the lines of Brands called him into his office and said he was too much of a lone wolf and didn't want to be part of the pack.
