Tomato/tomato. IMO. Maybe he made the weight, but not effectively enough to wrestle.
Iowa dual 2024
- Thread starter iastatefan1
- Start date
Agree pretty close with this, a little nitpick, but I'd have frost higher, just feel like he'll get his weight right and be ready. Also if gaitan goes, I would have that more like 25%-30% isu. I'd have caroll lower than 25% though.
Ech was AA too. So we have four.
Also NQ's at every weight except 165 and 197. 125 and 165/174 still seem to be up in the air.
I was referring to lineup difference from Stanford to Iowa, ech wrestled against Stanford. 65 might be gaitan who is nq.
He sat him as punishment. He could have went. I’d still take Frost over Ayala. I think Ayala will struggle with the strength of 133 lbers.
Honestly even more concerning if this is true. If he needs to send a message to a returning AA, then there are some problems on this team.
That seems very dramatic haha.
Really I’m not sure I even buy the explanation. What is bigger punishment, missing the dual, or going out there and suffering the consequences of a bad weight cut against a very tough opponent?
I guess I’d trust the judgement of the guy who developed a no name recruit into an All American as a freshman. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
I’d suggest going to a chalk talk sometime before a dual and listen to Dresser walk through the strategy behind not only what’s going on with the lineup that night, but things behind the scenes as well.
I’ve been, but was not at this one. I agree it’s a marathon, not a sprint. But explain to me the justification of sitting him for “punishment” but having him go out there and suffer through a right off the scale match after a bad cut? Sitting him seems more like a bonus/reward then a punishment.
If you’ve ever had to wrestle a d1 opponent an hour off the scale with a terrible cut, you’d know that is going to be a miserable experience.
Ask Dresser. I think I’ll trust him on Frost and any decisions he makes with him.
Years ago, WOI radio used to run a short spot called Dr. Science. A bit of the dialogue always went,
Ask Dr. Science (pause)
He knows more than you do.
For some reason I often think of this when I encounter someone who thinks they have all the answers.
Watched Iowa/Stanford. My quick thoughts on how we match up.
125 - still no idea here, both on who we will have out there and no idea how Peterson will look for Iowa. So toss up.
133 - if weight is under control, it’s a winnable match. Toss up.
141 - similar to 133 in regards to weight under control, but if it is I think we’re favored here.
149 - two of the best in this weight class going at it. Parco is very good on top, could be a factor. Ech better on his feet. Toss up.
157 - tough spot for a guys first folkstyle dual match up in quite sometime. Against an NCAA finalist in Carver. Think he can hang in there, but the Sun Devil is favored.
165 - regardless of if it’s Euton or MJ I think we’re significant underdogs here. Caliendo is good and has a great tank on him. Tough spot for MJ if it’s his first match at 165.
174 - if Iowa puts Brands out there, I think Riggins can keep it close and you never know how it can turn out if it’s a 1 TD match. Underdogs.
184 - Arnold has looked great for Iowa, I think this match up is very close either way. Arnold is a short 184, but I don’t think Bockman is particularly tall either and he is strong. Will be closer than most think. Arnold more explosive but Bockman is seasoned.
197 - Pains me to say it, but I think this is the longest shot of any of our match ups. CC was feeling it in the 3rd against Stemmet, and Buchanan has looked very good late in first few duals. Closer match in March.
285 - Yonger. Everyone will talk about this being an upset possibility, I’m not buying it.

125 ISU if Osmany it might be 6-0
133 ISU Frost got the message loud and clear
141 ISU Casey has been awesome this year
149 ISU if Ech can keep Redding from taking the spot amiright Crabby?
157 ISU Paniro this year is better than Chittum last year
165 Iowa but I watched mj against Minnesota and he looked like a superstar. He always has a chance.
174 it’s going to be a one takedown match either way, hope familiarity helps us out.
184 Iowa regular decision
197 when Carroll goes he’s as explosive as anyone in the weight class. I know he can take Buchanan down in the first period, can he get enough distance to hang on in the third to win.
285 Yonger all day
Should be fun, hopefully.

Kysen going back down makes it seem as though we won’t see Osmany for awhile?
Also, what do you mean about MJ and Minnesota? Threw me off there.
Couldn’t agree more than this. If Carroll can have a gas tank in the 3rd period I think he has a great shot at Buchanan
What would be you guys best guess for start time for the Iowa dual? What would the earliest time be? And when do you think they will announce the official time?
