After reading the Cyclonefanatic article (thanks for the article btw http://cyclonefanatic.com/2017/01/wrestling-iowa-state-goes-0-2-vs-oklahoma-schools/ ) it states...
Wouldn't Simmons would have a better chance to qualify for NCAA's at 141 than Meeks?
Before everyone blasts me I realize that Simmons stock is probably down because he recently placed 4th at the Loras tourney and Meeks stock is up because he looked his best so far vs. Heil.
However doesn't the win % play a major factor in getting a NCAA bid? According to WrestleStat Simmons is/was 18-8 vs Meeks at 6-10. Also, does the # of matches 16 vs 26 matter? KJ doesn't come out and say Simmons is done competing...just at 125. Does anyone have any info on how they do against each other in the room?
Inquiring minds want to know and speculate ;-)
"For Simmons, he missed this weekend due to a weight issue. Jackson is unsure if Simmons will compete during the rest of the season."
There is also the IAwrestle article ( https://iawrestle.com/2017/01/30/markus-simmons-changing-weights-kyle-larson-to-start-125-for-isu/ ) which states:
"As the season continued, the cut wore on Simmons and after discussion with the coaches both sides agreed that the wrestler needed to take a break from 125 pounds with plans to reevaluate at the end of the season."
