No idea what this means for Fridays dual, but Evan Frost has dropped out of the All Star Classic against Bailey.

Will be Lucas Byrd of Illinois in his place.
that's to bad was looking forward to that match among others

but IMO the all star classic is at just an awful time- all be it the season is in its infancy

this needs to be a preseason event

once the season commences you can't risk injury for a match that really means nothing

Make it a postseason event, like in the beginning.

1967-71 - April
1972 - March
1973-2004 - early Feb/late Jan
2005-25 - November

If you do that, you almost assuredly don’t get the main event of CStar/Keck as both will be prepping for/wrestling in US Open.

We can't do it after the season because freestyle.

We can't do it in early February because scheduling.

We can't do it in November because guys are injured or not at weight.

I agree with what you’re saying. there is no good time because there is no incentive to doing it.

Pony up some cash and guys would be at weight and in shape in November.

What makes you think that the guys aren’t getting paid to participate already?

Hopefully we get some answers to that at media availability @jcordova8
Basically, Coach Dresser said it's just a weight issue. He didn't make weight but Coach has been putting him through some tough workouts and made him go through weigh-in on Friday. It doesn't sound like there's any type of injury, it's just a "details" issue right now. I assume we'll see him against Iowa.

Flying in from out of state for the Dual. Curious if you guys could hook me up with a good watering hole for pre-match? And maybe a one with some good scenery for post match. Thanks!

Watering hole in Coralville? Pack plenty of penicillin.
