174 has 3 returning national champs.Is Gabe Arnold a probable top three 174lber?
In response to the above.
I could use an education on this one. Arnold says he was told by Brands he was going 184 the day before, so I guess we can assume his walking around weight is somewhat around 182 (due to the weight in)?
So if he had previously certified at 174, it seems reasonable he has to shed 8 lbs or so each time he goes 174. Many middle to upper with guys have 8 lb cuts or more, so this isn't uncommon.
By virtue of 'officially weighing in' for an event above 174, does that act then officially place him at a new certification, and weight decent plan if he wants to return to the previously certified weight?
Namely he was ok for 174 last week, but now he is temporarily stuck up at 184, and has to get back on a multi week decent plan back down to 174?
Meanwhile, Kennedy gets a few more goes vs Penn & Columbia. Makes sense to me.Still 1.5% per week, right? So if he really weighed in 182, then it would be 3 weeks until he could wrestle 174 again, which would reset every time he steps on the scale.
Yep, 3 weeksStill 1.5% per week, right? So if he really weighed in 182, then it would be 3 weeks until he could wrestle 174 again, which would reset every time he steps on the scale.
Which means he can’t weigh in for 3 weeks if he wants to hit the 3 week date (rounding math stuff).Yep, 3 weeks
182*((0.985)^3=173.93.
Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.Yep, 3 weeks
182*((0.985)^3=173.93.
Too many words 😉Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.
So it's more likely that he wouldn't go 174 for 4 weeks, unless he does not weigh in again until 3 weeks from the ISU dual.
So we probably won't see him for thise three weeks he is not needed.Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.
So it's more likely that he wouldn't go 174 for 4 weeks, unless he does not weigh in again until 3 weeks from the ISU dual.
Probably wasn't exactly 182.00, and who knows the precision of the scales. So yeah, 3 or 4 weeks.Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.
So it's more likely that he wouldn't go 174 for 4 weeks, unless he does not weigh in again until 3 weeks from the ISU dual.
MM’s arms are looking mighty noodly.
Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa titleThe Daily Iowan running a dual-byline piece with each author taking a turn to answer the question of who will win the NCAA tournament this year. Matt McGowan takes Penn State while Brad Schultz makes the argument for Iowa.
I suspect the point / counterpoint angle was an editorial mandate prior to the piece being written because it's written for very casual fans and not particularly mindful of reality.

Point/Counterpoint | Who will win the men’s wrestling NCAA Tournament title?
PENN STATE First off, I just wanted to say that I covered Iowa men’s wrestling last year and was thoroughly impressed with what I saw. For Hawkeye wrestlers, coaches, and fans, dominance is expected, and even a runner-up finish in the NCAA Tournament is considered a disappointment. Such a high...dailyiowan.com
After going up against a fight of chairs I would have needed to sit down too 😉I carried 2 cases of Yuengling bottles up a fight of stairs last week and needed to sit down. Wonder what the math is on that…. They were heavy.

Work smarter, not harder.
I think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa title
He missed Caliendo so maybe just skimmed the rosters.I think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.
Holy crap, that is some wonderful fan fiction! 🤣Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa title
Well if he includes Caliendo that clearly moves Iowa from having a shot to being the favorite! 🤣He missed Caliendo so maybe just skimmed the rosters.
This is what Brad was doing instead of watching the teamsI think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.
Matt McGowan doesn't even knock!
I thought their football team played tomorrow … ?In no surprise - except to some diehards on GIA - points are at a premium at the Iowa Penn dual in several weights. Voinovich dominates 1-0; Franek with a 4-2 barn burner
Wow doesn't take long to hate wrestling in IowaIncontrera majors Kennedy
He’s gonna get hurt if they keep running him out there in this condition.Incontrera majors Kennedy
