Biggest unanswered question I have about Angelo is his riding. AJ is able to win big matches by pairing his unbelievable defense with tough riding. Wonder if Angelo will be able to do the same?
Angelo is not as good on top as AJ, but he's a much cleaner leg attacker. He can attack both sides in a variety of ways. AJ is mostly a straight-on, power wrestler.

To add on, I think we see Angelo have a Starocci like bonus trajectory. Not a super high bonus rate this year against NQ talent. Starts picking up majors next year. Not a whole lot of early stoppages until his junior or senior year. Timeline would accelerate quickly if he picks up a reliable turn on top.

There website has Pitzer on the roster as redshirt junior. Maybe we could catch Kade Brown in the tunnel and tell him how nice it is wrestling in Iowa City.;)

Brown is with Pitt, redshirt last year. Had some decent wins and took Paniro into overtime but then Paniro does like him some close matches. If Williams is our 49 he would be pretty good favorite but anyone else should be a good match.

Get to see what Endene potential is with match against Stout, or maybe Ludington goes. I think Pitt has a good heavy also if Big Ben is back by then. Bellarmine sold out atmosphere was great last year, hope Carver brings it this year.
Concur! I was at that meet; it was F’ing rocking!!

Don’t remember if they recruited Kade, but Iowa did try to bring his younger brother Karson (class of 2026) out on an official visit last fall. Think Karson committed before he could take the visit.

Did he commit to Pitt?

Although rather brief, the Teemer match would have been worth the price of admission. I'm pretty sure Ive never seen a half Nelson feet to back more brutal than that.
True that! And though most of our opponents during the meet weren’t close to the talent level and ended up getting beat, I was impressed with their preparation and determination; they came to let it fly knowing full well they’d get crushed.

The schedule is pretty much set. We’ll just have to wait on dates and times

Add Utah Valley and Chattanooga(Uncivil War).

Remove Stanford. Dont think they are on the schedule this year.

I thought we owed Stanford, typically we do home and away? You’d probably know more than me. Where is the uncivil war held?
Do you know if National Duals is an NCAA sponsored event?

You are right, they usually do a home and away. Maybe it's still in the works but, Stanford released their home/away opponents, and Iowa wasn't on it. Also, the HWC newsletter made no mention of Stanford either.

The Uncivil War will be Dec 12th at Hannibal HS in Hannibal MO.

Not sure if the Nat Duals will be "official" matches or not.

So Iowa has just 4 home meets this season and no non-conference meets?
Always late and never heard why Iowa U waits so long for schedule release. Funny how were on others teams schedules but not on our own.
