Yep, but Arnold is going to be the next champion at 174. If success requires wrestling techniques, anything over 125 at Iowa is at best a mid level All-American.

Kennedy will be the starting 174 pounder for the Hawks.

Cmon down Marcus Blaze! 141 will be waiting for you
It really is perfect. 141 is pretty much the only hole in the lineup once Bartlett is done. After watching NCAA’s and then being on this team with 5 other PSU guys I just don’t see how he doesn’t decide PSU is where he needs to be. Especially with his senior level goals. It all just makes too much sense
 
U23 Quarter-Finals Tomorrow:
61kg: Gary Steen vs. Nic Bouzakis (Ohio RTC)
61kg: Aaron Nagao vs. Alex Almeyda (Pennsylvania RTC)
70kg: Connor Pierce vs. Chance Lamer (Central Coast RTC)
86kg: Lucas Cochran vs. Donnell Washington (Indiana RTC)

He would be forgoing a chance to earn a coveted Blackshirt at Ohio State, working out in a windowless dungeon in Iowa, or spending years in the Hobbesian nightmare that is Oklahoma. Tough choice

Hobbesian nightmare? High level stuff right there. Please keep in mind this is an internet message board for college wrestling.;)
