    23-24 Team appreciation thread

    Didn't really fit among any of the other threads, so I thought I'd start a thread to reflect on where we ended up vs. expectations to start the season. 125 - Kysen didn't really wrestle at all last year, so was already a huge question mark coming in. I know we're all tired of him being so...

    Rule changes

    What are everyone's thoughts after watching their first duels with the rule changes? It could be just the opponent, but there seemed to be a LOT more action, which is good. Will be interesting to see how this plays out against tougher competition. The one thing I hadn't really thought that...

    Super 32

    Cyclone commits Adrian Meza (132) and Daniel Herrera (285) competing at the Super 32 tournament this weekend. 132 is absolutely loaded with the top 3 guys all being former World team members. 285 has a bunch of pretty equally ranked guys at the top who have all beaten each other. For what...

    Realignment impact on wrestling

    All the realignment talk got me thinking about how our favorite sport is going to be affected. I guess it really doesn't matter if we stay in a new B12 or some version thereof since most of the conference are not 'real' B12 members for wrestling anyway. Heck OU will still need someplace to...

    Ultimate Club Duals

    Not super ISU-related, but if you have Flo, there is an interesting tourney going on this weekend in State College. Club teams are competing a a dual format. Weights run from 34kg to 129kg and ages are from middle-school (or maybe less) to graduated seniors. Team Sebolt looked really strong...

    J'Den Cox

    Thought this deserved its own thread, please merge if appropriate. The story that is out there now is that Cox arrived at the facility around 7:25AM and was told by his coach, Kevin Jackson, that weigh-ins were 8:00-8:30. At 8:04 he stepped on the scale a tenth or so over, worked out for a bit...

    Gadsen's Injury?

    Anyone heard what exactly Kyven hurt and how serious during his match with Moore a couple weeks ago? It looked pretty bad at the time but I haven't seen any news unless I just missed it. He was really looking good lately so hope it's not serious.

    Best NFL Career

    The passing of Matt Blair got me thinking about who in addition to Matt had solid NFL careers. The players below have the highest 'career values' from pro football reference .com (however that's calculated). I filtered out those who came before the Super Bowl era. Who are your top 3?

    How much does a program effect a prospects chance of being drafted?

    We always complain about ISU guys getting shafted in the draft. Here is some interesting statistical analysis by a Reddit user. Only going by the numbers and not attributing any sort of reason, ISU ranks 3rd lowest of any D1 team that has sent at least 30 players to the NFL since 2000...

    Replay/Overturn @ 133

    Just thought I'd start a separate thread about a real beef I've got with how replay is being executed this year. In the Small match, initially, he was awarded 2 BP and wrestling was stopped with around :11 to go in the period. Todd had over a minute of riding time and a 7-4 lead. After the...

    Cyclones.tv coverage

    For many years now after I left Iowa I've been grateful for what I could get for wrestling coverage. When Cyclones.tv came along I was thrilled being able to watch the Clones home meets over the internet. Wrestling coverage has come a long way and this year anyone with a Flo subscription can...

    Joe Heskett

    Interesting interview with former Cyclone Joe Heskett. I'd been wondering what he is up to these days. Has his own leadership consulting company. Very intelligent dude. Would love to see him back involved at ISU in some capacity...

    Sr US Open

    Sorry, didn't see another thread. Kyven Gadsen is your 97kg SR US Open champ! Also, I know a controversial figure around here, but Pat Downey is the champ at 86kg.

    Kicking Whisperer?

    Sorry if already posted. Looks like Alabama is stealing our Kicking coach. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/alabama-reportedly-hiring-pair-of-special-team-analysts-including-a-kicking-whisperer/

    Ryan Anderson - Super 32

    Cyclone commit Ryan Anderson is competing in the Super 32 tournament in NC this weekend. He's pinned his first 3 guys and is in to the round of 16 at 152. He was registered at 145, but bumped up. I think he did the same thing last year and won it. He doesn't look like he's a fan of cutting...

    Kyven Wins!

    Kyven avenges his US Open loss to Austin Schaffer 8-1!. Schaffer got hurt at the end and looks like he will have to default the second match. Not the way Kyven wanted to win, I'm sure, but he was in control for most of the match.

    LB Rotation

    Apologies in advance if this has been discussed, but why do we refuse to rotate our LB's? From what I saw that position group got abused more than any other yesterday. Yet we stuck with Miller, Meeks & Seeley with a small dose of Drake Ferch, until they got hurt. Brackins came in when Meeks...

    LB

    I'm not ready to jump off the bridge like most over this season. I think we'll bounce back next year after some coaching changes and hopefully much fewer injuries. What does scare the crap out of me is the LB position. With the very obvious problem we've been having since Knott went out, I...
