Well said. These are high school kids in the neighborhood of 18 years of age, some (even many) easily influenced by things other than the important factors you note.
Why "Social Media" is great....

It's not a match Paul. It's a FIGHT!
I took the OP's meaning as the 2nd 'all-star' team, not a seasonal thing.
If you had Zain, DT, Starocci, Ruth, Bo & Casser on the 1st team, you could have Molinaro, Cenzo, Hall, Brooks, Q & Kerk on the 2nd team.
Or, maybe I'm reading it wrong.
The only way to find out is to let our backups wrestle unattached in the NCAAs. LOL.
That’s exactly how I read it and was confused that everyone seemed to be interpreting it differently.
All the other teams have gaps, you don't necessarily need a national champion at all ten weights... only 8 scoring wrestlers
Then there is the debate, could Bo, for example, be on the #1 team at one weight and the#2 squad at another? I won't get into that either.
Also note, we have both Nico and Nicky pushups at 125 for the two squads. Cassar and Kerk at heavy, yep I am calling that one now!
And out what time the match will be happening since Session 2 of BIGs won't end until about 9:30.
Matt Brown was the subject of a post in another thread recently. It had me thinking… Brown started for three years. Would have likely been an AA the year he didn’t. Was he the last of that breed?
(And as an aside… Iowa is wrestling a freshman up two weight classes to replace Assad. He’s reached his allotment of matches while not burning a shirt. They might forfeit against OKST. It’s tough to fill a 2nd string!)

Jen Page, Cenzo headline for the nits present and past. Glad to see Kennedy back on the mat.
That still happens but the transfer portal will make it an even more endangered species.
In fact look at ASU this year, Richie Figs could AA but he's behind Brandon Courtney.
I think Seth would have a better than even chance of AA.
Today perhaps, but he wasn't a likely AA his freshman year (before the injury), which was the original point.
Similar: Pletcher wrestled up a weight as a freshman because Tomasello. Decent chance of placing if he could've wrestled at 133, since he was the 12 seed at 141.
After that, he never placed below 4th.
He highlights that most guys capable of 3x AA will find their way into the lineup as a freshman, somehow, somewhere.
I wonder if Tom tries a different inspirational speech/speaker before every dual with us, hoping he finds the right magic combination of words. it’s a nice speech.

Any guesses what Cael’s pre-dual speech was? Some thing about how he’s going to win at dodgeball next time most likely.

But that’s Zain’s speech, lol.Somebody should photoshop Brands onto here:
2020:
PSU
RBY, Lee, Joseph, Hall and Brooks are champs. Rasheed 6th. Verk LWL. 109.5 points before bonus.
If RBY instead loses to SeaBass in semis and takes 3rd… 103 points before bonus.
Iowa
Marinelli was slated to see Wick in the quarters. Warner was going to see Rasheed in 2nd round (Rasheed had just beaten him at Big Tens). Young had just gone 0-2 at Big Tens and had lost his last 3 matches.
Lee and Yugo are champs. Kemerer 2nd to Hall. Cassioppi 3rd behind Steveson and Parris. DeSanto 4th. Marinelli 6th. Warner 7th. Murin WWLL. Young WLWL. Assad WLWL.
102.5 points before bonus.

Cenzo then beat Finesilver in the semis, will wrestle for gold.
Have you guys seen this? Crazy folded up!

Woods beats Lee in the semi’s or Pletcher beats him in the finals. Kemerer beats Hall in the finals. RBY loses to Gross in the finals. Any of these are legit possibilities and Iowa wins. I’m not claiming a 2020 title like some Iowa fans. However, it would be more of a scenario where PSU needs close to a perfect tourney and Iowa underperforms.
You are correct. 2020 would have required PSU to nail the tournament. Based upon recent history is there something that you can point to that would make you think PSU probably doesn't nail it?
No. But we will never know.
I think I saw JTS’s uncle apply that hold in the basement one ThanksgivingHave you guys seen this? Crazy folded up!

Nope, not ever going to know. You probably won't see many Lion fans claiming 2020 as a championship season either. Big difference in Hawk land. More than one or two like to claim that title.
Vintage Cael.
