College discussion begins around 20 minutes in. The seedings and Iowa wrestlers that Willie heard that were submitted for Iowa are interesting...

He has PSU with 8 champs, mirsola 5th, and davis 7th or 8th. Lol. There is no way in hell they get 8 champs.
I agree. I don’t think they win 133, 157, and 184. I am not sure about 149 either but that weight is kind of weak.

They're going to run away with it but like you don't see 8 champs at BT. There isnt easy paths for anyone not named Messenbrink or Mendez and maybe Barr. Lilledahl, Blaze and Welsh will have it tough. Id still guess 6 champs with home crowd and........ahem..........some home cookin.

I have no doubt this is the best team ever assembled but 8 champs with the competition at 133 and 125 seems unlikely and there is always potential for upsets. I think PJ Duke does have a chance though at 157. Overall, it's possible but highly unlikely. But the 3rd straight scoring record is very possible and almost incomprehensible.

Yeah 8 champs is possible, but that's with everything going there way. They are not gonna win every single tossup. Are lillendahl, blaze, Duke and welsch capable? The answer is yes. But they got robinson, bouzakis, 6 guys at 133, taylor, cannon, shapiro among others, Ferrari, sinclair, mcenelly among others to get through to be crowned the best. I just dont see it happening.

they aren't getting 8 champs. probably not even 8 finalists. but on weight-by-weight analysis, those are my picks rn.

The 3 I’m not sure about are 133, 157, and 184 and that is solely based on their offense. I have questions on whether all 3 of them can score enough points against the upper echelon. They will likely have to win close matches from the quarters on and generally I shy away from those types.

Edit to add that 125 could be the same boat. But I don’t think he has to win close matches but sometimes he puts himself in those spots because he doesn’t open up.

the entirety of 125 and 184 are offensively challenged. LL and Welsh have as good a chance as anyone but the margins are super slim.
Great pod willie! I know probably not on topic for the thread but glad to hear you enjoyed the greatest state tournament in all the land! Also you herd anything on lucas boe recruitment?

So you haven't changed your position on Bailey and Williams? How about Endene?
I was heavy on Team NIL until i got the reports

Bailey and Williams have bad habits. Period.

Endene i had heard was just a worker. Sad that it went the way it did. The fact that Endene isn't/hasn't filed a civil lawsuit for a coach removing him from the roster for a medical condition should tell you something. Not saying there isn't a middle ground to the story, but Brands didn't push out a guy who rose to #4 in the country.
