It hasn't been decided yet which weight Carr will take next year. I know the thought is Carr will end up at 165 in the future even if he spends one year at 157. Degen will probably move to 157 after next year or even as soon as next year. Kevin is trying to upgrade the talent in the room across the board, so there may end up being good battles for starting spots. The thing I see that has changed the most at ISU is KD works very hard to foster a tight nit group of guys that really pull for one another. We have a long way to go as a program, but progress is being made everyday. I can't say enough good things about DSJ and Brent and the work they are doing. I hope we can keep Miklus in Ames as he has that warm disposition and outgoing personality that draws recruits and helps build unity. We are not PSU and there is much to be done but it is exciting to be a Cyclone wrestling fan. I know the guys that have gotten to know Ryan Anderson are stoked to have him as a Cyclone.
The thing I have found the most weird is what a compassionate, kind person Metcalf is and how positive toward the young guys he acts. I guess I expected him to be way more fire and way less ice. I can't wait to witness the nutrition debates between he and Anderson. I think those two will become very close and I know Brent is excited to help him grow in the sport.
