wrestle-offs

I was talking with someone who was going to the wretle-offs this evening and I think he told me that the 174 pounder is a little banged up right now:

Would Carr be able to move up in weight? Would that help the team?

Glad wrestling season is here again. I love football but there is nothin that is more intense than a full house at a wrestling meet. Will be glad to walk through the Hilton doors again.

Carr's best weight is 157. He'll add depth at 157/165 until Cyler graduates I think. I believe Carr is a redshirt soph, so he'll have a year to wrestle once Cyler graduates.

The Reader/Carr result is pretty interesting . . . if I remember correctly, that is a much bigger beating than he put on Carr at Midlands last year.

Long being a true freshman, it seems like he could become the best option at some point later in the season. Do they have mid-season wrestle-offs if two wrestlers are close?

[leg4cy]

Reader beat a different Iowa Central national champ, Colby Covington, at the Midlands last year by a wide margin. Covington is now in Iowa City and has already acclimated himself to the city as he made the police blotter a few months back.

My intuition is that Long will keep his redshirt this year and wrestle 125 next year while Clark redshirts. Then one of them can move up to fill Fanthorpe's spot once he graduates.

Not publicly, but there's always competition in the practice room.

i disagree with the long comment. clark will be a soph this year, so redshirt long and then he has 2 years to wrestle when clark is done, assuming he doesnt beat out clark before then.
