Agreed, But I would be concerned with Hunter Stieber returning to form if I was a Tosu fan...As Penn State Fans we understand too well how major injuries that require surgery and rehab can derail a promising talentOriginally posted by Stargellfan:
Ohio State is going to be scary good next year, even without Logan Steiber.
Zero All-Americans is not outside the realm of possibility for the Gophers next year (though it's fairly unlikely). I don't think there is anybody who you would call a "near-lock to AA" next year.Originally posted by jack66:
Minny fans have to be wondering when they will be back in the hunt.
All 5 of their seniors were ranked #1 at some point in their career yet never met expectation at tourney time. With the Dardanes cutting so much weight I'm not at all surprised at the results this year.
Now with the 5 Seniors gone they return only about 7 points from this team.
Iowa could be a wildcard, to some extent. Meyer is a potential national finalist (or champ if Dieringer doesn't bump up), so he'd improve on Stache in that regard. Grothus is the "joker" in that regard. If he matches Telford's production, a team trophy wouldn't surprise me, but that's more because I expect the points at the top to be higher. I don't think 85 points is going to be good for the runner-up spot next year, or, for that matter, most years. On the other hand, I don't think Gross is good for much more than a win or two at Nationals, ditto for Stoll, and I suspect Paddock will be watching Nationals next year from the stands, rather than in a singlet.Originally posted by clhawks00:
I just posted something similar in the meltdown thread, but Iowa loses 3 contributors. Kelly and Moore didn't score any points. Dziewa didn't score a whole lot for us so his production will likely be duplicated or hopefully improved on by Gross. Meyer will replace Evans and a lot of people wouldn't be surprised if he out scores him at nationals. Stoll likely won't match Telford's production just yet but he has tons of potential and is a pinner just like Telford. Hopefully Bobby sticks around and helps him progress. As for 157, Brody Grothus will likely be moving up and taking that spot. Who knows if he will be strong enough to be effective. And Burke Paddock will likely be at 165. Don't know exactly what we have in him yet. He will be a freshman too so it's likely we take some lumps.
Really? What was the score. Micah dominated Chishko in their only high school match. I think it was 7-1?Originally posted by MVPFAN:
I keep seeing Micah Jordan mentioned. Yes a big recruit but does not have any resume to be thrown around with Martinez next year. He lost a couple matches at 149 this year I think, Chisko beat him I know.
Thanks Jeff. It's nice to see Chishko closing the gap. But clearly Micah owns a former great PA High School wrestler.Originally posted by El-Jefe:
Jordan beat Chishko 2x this year:
1/18: 4-2 at the Purple Raider Open
1/24: 3-2 at the Appalachian Open
Dieringer just won the 165 championship weight class.Originally posted by minnhawkeye:
It should be a dog fight next year, Ohio State, Penn State and Okie State.
Can Chance M make 157?
Reason I ask is because I think that Delinger will move up to 165

165. The rumor I head was he might bump to 174.
