In regards to bumping up Angelo to face Elam. His quickness could lead to a slight upset win but keep the Ferrari in the garage. If a guy is worried about keeping a shoulder healthy....show up with Mo Diesel and lets get physical.

Also Mo is pretty raw with a late start in the sport so the more matches the better. Could argue he has the highest upside of any ranked 197 because of that.
Speaking of shoulders… Did BK have tape on his shoulders last night? I’m still not sure what we were seeing. At first I thought tattoos, then shoulder braces and finally guessed some kind of sports tape? But how would it stay in place?

It's called KT tape. Yes on both

I thought those were racing stripes on his shoulders. He needs to do the red, "Go Fast" ones next week.

Evidently Paniro lost to Frost in a wrestle off recently and he'll get the nod at 149 for the dual. Is he the Frost twin that Block beat in the state final?

Unless we don’t put Kueter out there or Bailey and Williams refuse to wrestle a full seven minutes.

also, can’t count on Caliendo for bonus against Euton. That’s a tough style match up.

74 is our best chance.
Kueter didn't wrestle NDI because he was dinged he looked to be fine against Pitzer. Wouldn't shock me if Caliendo got a major. Ech would need 4 takedowns not sure he gets that many. Zerban is a guy who can score from funky positions but he's more defensive than offensive. Will be a fun dual to watch

Fine except he didn’t shoot one time or get extended in any way. He wrestled very conservative and that gives me a little pause.

^^^^^

Also curious what kind of "stunt" Dresser attempts given the ESPN coverage in Hilton?
You know he's feeling the pressure of ALWAYS losing to TnT.
Having said that, at this point, I think Clones would have to be considered a slight favorite.

How can you ever consider isu a favorite at this point. It’s been a coons age since they’ve beat the hawks. The head games by the coaches on who to send out makes it near impossible to even know what to expect. But the answer is Iowa is Dressers daddy = they be favored

Just consider that, currently, Iowa has three huge question marks...125/141/157.
125...inconsistent and hasn't been very offensive. Did the bad shot he took against tOSU make him overly cautious?
141...he looked absolutely awful against Mendez and basically quit. Echemendia is an aggressive guy. Not only is he the underdog, if things spiral, he could get majored.
157...Is Williams in the doghouse? If his head isn't straight, could get ugly.
If it's VV, no offense and loses by decision.
That said...Williams could also get a fall.
Plus, KD knows the pressure to finally win.
Does he already have his excuses memorized if he loses???
1..."We're aiming for March".
2..."We had some guys sick today".
3..."We couldn't see the clock".

My opinion is Iowa must win 125 or 157.

Same. I've torn a labrum in my right shoulder. Not saying that somehow happened but I go that feeling he was scared to extend because there wont be any power on one side. Plus the pain sucks. I view the full tape job as just trying to not let you know which side it is so do both. but no idea.

Side note, after surgery- it was the best thing to ever happen to my golf game. Its amazing how much staying inside your swing when you are afraid of separating your back elbow from your body helps. Although I don't wish that for Ben. Really want him healthy for once and want to see him on the football field with a hand on the ground.

Can Caliendo, Kennedy & Ferrari get us bonus points? I dont know much about Dean but if there was ever a time for AF to turn on the offense I'd say that time is sunday
Flo reviewed the duel, and said Dean is really hard to score on, involved in many low scoring overtime matches. They think Ferrari takes him down 1-2 times, but no major. Hope they are wrong.
