Yeah he lost to a kid from Oklahoma in a weird (greco) match. That kid is an Oklahoma Sooner commit also.

The kid from Oklahoma (AJ Heeg) is pretty good. Not sure where he’s ranked now, but he was around top 30 overall according to Willie not too long ago.
So a couple new ones in Illinois and Pitt. Should actually get to wrestle ASU this year. Those are 3 great dual teams out of conference. Should get more great matches at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals. Overall not bad!
A lot tougher dual schedule than last year. I like it.
That’s about as solid of a schedule as one could hope for. Let’s hope when they announce the home duals, a good chunk of those are in Ames. I believe Dresser said during the tailgate tour that they are planning to go to Cedar Falls again for UNI which I don’t quite understand
Love getting Pitt and Illinois on the dual schedule. Also love that we are going back to Southern Scuffle and looks like we are going to the Collegiate Wrestling Duals, which will also get us better competition
If I had to guess...
Likely home: OU, OSU, Mizzou, Wyoming, Grand View
Likely road: Iowa, WVU, Pitt, CBU
Toss-up: UNI (based on above), Illinois (maybe home since Iowa and/or UNI is road), ASU, UVU
Not entirely sure how UVU and ASU will be handled, since both of those (at ASU, vs UVU) got cancelled last year.
Any weirdness in conference scheduling (like going to UNI 2 years in a row) would be a Big 12 thing.
Tom & Jerry would let everyone know they had to go to an opponent's place 2 years in a row and cry about it. Just go up and take care of business, atmosphere was great up there last year. Especially if we get ASU, PITT or both at home to make up for it.
100%
Selfishly, I’m completely fine with that because it’s closer for me but obviously I’d rather have it in Hilton. So glad KD isn’t a little b*tch like those two.
I think we hosted UNI two years in a row in 20 and 21, so it would make sense to go there again. Same situation with Oklahoma State.
Im happy if they come to UNI again, I don’t have to travel far. Plus the atmosphere last year was amazing. That was an event.
The only thing that sucks is that the west gym now seems to be a thing of the past. I’m glad I got to take little JM there a couple times before they shut that old girl down.

It looks like Cameron Phetxoumphone committed to the good guys. Keep ‘em coming!

DES MOINES — The heartbreak was genuine as Cam Phetxoumphone leaned his shoulder against the wall and bowed his head in an attempt to control his emotions in a back hallway at Wells Fargo Arena Saturday night. Another wrestler approached and offered a quick hug, which Phetxoumphone accepted...

Also, I don’t think he’s as seasoned as a lot of guys coming in. Not a Sebolt or BG guy and doesn’t do much off-season. Hope that means good upside and potential for development in years 3/4.
I think he trains at Moen and has at least 2 or 3 little bothers who are tough as nails as well. Welcome to the Cyclones!
