Paul Young saw something in Harvey and now has him at the NCAA's !! Great job both guys.

I REALLY doubt IU is at the top of anyone's dream job . 1-31 in the B1G the last 4 years (with little change in sight ) is hardly a magnet for top names . I say give the job to DeGain and Powless and bring Young back from Army -find a lightweight coach and let these guys outwork everyone else.

Didn't IU also bring in a 133 from Iowa ? QA shame to have Murphy leave the program yet nothing new there . Kids are just cutting too much weight at IU.

LeBlanc should be at 174-Walsh is comfortable at 157 and Kieffer could make some noise at 165 if he could break the line up. He CUT way too much to make 149 last year.

Hinkle has a team of over achieving hard nosed good solid kids !! I wish eppert could have that big breakout win and make the podium this year or next ! The LN connection is working !

I'd heard Wright was having grade problems at Cathedral(thus his return to WC) according to a couple of coaches who recruited Brandon his father may have been a problem -not my words as I only know his dad was a hellacious wrestler. Duca and Zimmer are just going to have to step up .

125-Zimmer 133-Ortega 141-Niemann 149-Warren 157-Kinser 165 -Young 174-LeBlanc 184 -Cameron 197 -Powless HWT-Shrek (alcala) Ortega , the 141 might not be on the team as he got his girlfriend pregnant-Fagiano may have quit .Who knows where Wright is ? Kevin Kriss ,Tanner Kriss' dad ,says Tanner beat Powless

Hey Drooke , I don't know what's up . Had an e-mail from Hinkle stating he was rsing Cashe then TOM comes out with Cashe ranked 7th and said they specifically asked if Cashe were RSing -I sent them a copy of the e-mail so either Eppert or fields are having problems . WHERE is WRIGHT ?? Not on IU's roster .

Where did Samuels go ?? -a 3x state champion just leaves IU ? I thought Cooper would break the line up at 174 next year with Perry graduating . Also-any updates to the line up situation ?

Good luck to Nicky Walpole and to Irwin and Mappes and all those Indiana studs . Ethan Harris a super stud .

I heard Malone fell victim to grades and Grymes -the LN kid ?-is at 184 -Vate and Monaco should battle all season for 141 -with the depth in the big 10 at 41 I hope they can put a coupla W's up. if Kinser could not make it last year how will he this year ? Young is in the deepest weight I've sen in a long time -he is ranked 8th in the big 10 and 15th in the nation .Earl @Div 1 has #2-Schlattner 3,Howe 4,M*,5then Sponsellor ,Vallimont and Poltz will be coming in off RS -Manuel moves up to 174 -Paul will be OK. Perry is at #7 due to his rd of 12 finish and I was wondering if Powless or Cameron was at 184 with Fagiano back from Hofstra ? So IU lost 3 of their freshman class ? Cook,Ramos and Malone ?Cook was the heir apparent and will be missed at hwt . Kriss is a nice addition .-but I was wondering how Fagiano can bounce between schools like that ? I remember back in the day having trouble getting credits to transfer from IUPUI to Bloomington and Fagiano can go to the CAA and back w/out repercussions ?

Yo Dingo-I look for Max Ortega to take 141 -JensenS is talking about how Drake is the greatest freshman ever at Cornell and he beat Max 5-2 at Sr. Nationals . Is Alex Warren the 49 pounder -Kinser couldn't make it last year and is rated 11th by Earl . Does anyone know if Angel is healthy ?? Does anyone know if Fagiano will be at 97 and Powless at 84 ?With Cameron and Coughlin on the bench ??

Strange meet -everyone's studs are in different classes save 141 and I like Russell in that one -125 ??maybe Triggas -133 Hump 141 Russell 149 Palmer 157 -???Johnstone 165 Colt 174 Luke 184 Biondo will give Pucillo a match for a while then BOOM 197 Todd hwt -Morrison -bonus points and the ??? matches will decide it -Cody went into the tank quickly .

I really hope angel's shoulder holds up -they won't get shut out against Iowa as Kinser will beat the Iowa 157 lber -Young has a chance against M* if he gets the first takedown but watching M* is like watching water turn to ice .Boring .Andrew beat him on 7 seconds difference in Riding time earlier this year -the match was so heated Gable came out of the stands -so you had Davis, Brands and Gable yelling at the ref and scorekeeper -3 wrestling hall of famers -wonder how the ref felt ? I hate riding time -we as a nation will never be truly competitive until we change some college rules -Everyone should fill out that form Coop is sending out . My statement above applies predominately to riding time -every other nation in the world wrestles freestyle and we wrestle catch as catch can -why award bonus points for 'riding' when there is no such thing as riding in freestyle ?
