    Makes sense. Thank you.

    Disclaimer: Not sure if this is the time or place for this, so let me know if you don't want this kind of "not Indiana, but Indiana adjacent" content. I brought up the other day that Eierman could possibly take Murin's spot at 141 for Iowa. Flo posted the following pro / con article today. I know not everyone has access (though I don't think this is behind the firewall, let me know if I am wrong), but here is the link: https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6650331-should-iowa-pull-jaydin-eiermans-redshirt

    Unless it is Eierman on 1/31. He tweeted a teasing message that could, maybe, possibly imply he will pull his red shirt. Hard to know what he meant by it, but since Lee ruined his chance to qualify for the Olympic trials at Sr. Nationals he only has two remaining avenues to qualify; win the Last Chance qualifier, or win the NCAA title. Top 2 at Last Chance qualify and no one who has already qualified is allowed to enter (unlike at Sr. Nationals), so you would think he stands a strong chance there, but if you are a gambling man you have to think in terms of odds. It has to help his odds to try both avenues to qualify. That it also aligns with Iowas "all in this year" philosophy also increases the probability it happens. We don't know how Murin is doing against him in the room, though. If Murin is winning in the room I could not see the Brands agreeing to pull the shirt.

    And with Brunner taking it on the chin last night my over / under for Purdue against Iowa is now 3.5
  5. wrestlenewbie
    Well at least part of my scenario is wrong. Busiello is wrestling at 157 this weekend in an open tournament. Lee wins 13-5 last night over Dylan Duncan from Illinois. Duncan was ranked 14 on Flo and 22 on Wrestlestat.

    If I put the Purdue over / under at 4.5 which way do you bet? Put another way, what do you think Lydy and Brunner do?
  8. wrestlenewbie
    Agreed. Yianni represents a challenge to accept rather than duck (see Micic, see Red).I think the bigger factor in whether Lee red shirts or not is how it helps or hurts the team. It would not be an individual decision. That said, with Busiello now going to PSU you can envision a situation where Lee red shirts next year and RBY or Busiello go 141 next year and Lee comes back the following year at 149. Way too many factors over too much time to make an actual prediction, just saying it is a possible scenario.

    And about Red: Despite wrestling in the same conference for an entire season, Chad Red and Tristan Moran have never met collegiately. Both are incredible scramblers who are not afraid to mix, so this one has the potential to be a lot of fun.
  10. wrestlenewbie
    From the Flo preview where they pick their top 10 matches of the weekend You could make an argument that Dylan Lydy has been the hottest wrestler in the country this season. Coming off a bloodround finish at last year's NCAA Championships, Lydy has won all 20 of his matches this season and has picked up CKLV and Midlands titles along the way. Lydy began the year ranked #12 and has since beat Anthony Valencia, Kimball Bastian, Ben Harvey, Mikey Labriola, and Bryce Steiert twice. Can Lydy add to his hit list?

    Joe Lee wrestles tomorrow morning unattached at the Southern Scuffle. He is unseeded. The top seed goes to Shane Griffith of Stanford. Griffith is 36-2 between his red shirt year last year and his freshmen year so far this year. One of his losses was a tight match at last year's Scuffle to Vincenzo Joseph. That said Lee and Griffith have wrestled once before with Lee prevailing. Of course it was 4 years ago and freestyle, so a lot of mitigating factors. They are on the same side of the bracket so could meet in semis.
  12. wrestlenewbie
    Lydy Harvey rematch in the first period of semis. Nomad "familiarity breeds contempt they say" after a first period without a single leg attack which ends 0-0. Lydy starts period 2 on top with just 5 seconds of riding time (and that was generous from the timer). Big scramble leads to nothing. After contact lens stoppage time (is that a thing?) Lydy tries a double but OB. And it ends 1-0 Harvey. Lydy up and out in 5 seconds. Deja vu. There was a shot, re-shot in the period that came to nothing, but otherwise just cagey. SV-1 Lydy goes right leg single 21 seconds in for the 3-1 win.
  13. wrestlenewbie
    From Minnesota Wrestling website: At 149-pounds Brayton Lee was disqualified in the first period after an "illegal move" while finishing a single leg takedown. The referee whistled things dead after Lee turned the leg and, after injury time, Lehigh was awarded the full six team points.
  14. wrestlenewbie
    Brock Hudkins had a massive third period in the semis against Pat Glory (6th as a true freshman last year). It was tied at 5 with Hudkins on top. He got hit for an illegal move (announcer speculated it was a full nelson) before riding Glory out to reverse a 1 minute plus riding time disadvantage and re-tie the match. Sadly he gets injured during sudden victory. It looked like a knee but hard to know for sure. He had to be carried from the mat after having to concede. A real shame for him and hopefully he is able to recover quickly as this looked to be his year.
  15. wrestlenewbie
    great summary, thank you.
  16. wrestlenewbie
    If Cassar is not injured he will definitely be favored over Steveson, and everyone else. However, the Minnesota / Iowa dual on Feb 15 just got a lot more interesting at heavyweight with Steveson's return and Cassiopi looking very good so far.
  17. wrestlenewbie
    Unfortunately Boyd goes 2-2 in the consolation bracket to finish 6th.
  18. wrestlenewbie
    Lee ragdolls Molinaro 10-0 in 1:25. And it wasn't that close. Two 4 point moves and a roll gets the job done. Then Diakamoholis injury forfeits out of the third place match. Lee qualifies for the Olympic Trials as an 11 seed.
  19. wrestlenewbie
    Henderson (4 seed) faces Molinaro (3 seed) for right to face Lee.
  20. wrestlenewbie
    checking the Senior National pre-seeds today I only see one Indiana wrestler in freestyle. Nick Lee is the 11 seed at 65kg. This is an Olympic trials qualifier event. Top 5 make the Oly trials. There is a murderers row in front of him: Yianni Diakomihalis (Titan Mercury WC) Jordan Oliver (Sunkist Kids) Frank Molinaro (Titan Mercury WC) Evan Henderson (Titan Mercury WC) Jaydin Eierman (Titan Mercury WC) Joey McKenna (Titan Mercury WC) Bryce Meredith (New York AC) Ben Whitford (Titan Mercury WC) Dom Demas (Titan Mercury WC) Dean Heil (Titan Mercury WC) Nick Lee (Nittany Lion WC) Jayson Ness (Gopher WC) Colton McCrystal (Sunkist Kids) Sean Fausz (Titan Mercury WC)

    My favorite stat on that list is Pat Pecora's wins as a percentage of the program's wins at Pitt-Johnstown, 99.8% (598 out of 600). He is the program. Leaves you to wonder who won the other 2? Also reminds me of Carleton Haselrig, the only wrestler to win 6 NCAA wrestling titles. Back then the winners of the DIII and DII championships gained entry to the DI championship. They changed the rules after Haselrig. https://nwhof.org/blog/haselrigs-story-whos-going-to-believe-that/

    Bit of a slow start to that match. It took him 4 seconds to tie up that mixer. Not sure what he was doing for the first 3 seconds.
  23. wrestlenewbie
    That's a nice story. Thanks for posting. I think everyone will be glad to hear he has reignited his passion.

    Chad Red was 2-0 over the weekend. In a dual against Wyoming on Friday he came away with the 5-1 decision. He had just a single takedown, but dominated the match with 3:20 of riding time. On Sunday he took all of 2:10 to put an 18-0 tech on UNI's Blockhus. After a slow start he had the Blockhus in a 6 point mixer 4 seconds into the match. The only reason it took 130 seconds is because Red took time to debate with ref whether he had stopped one move to be awarded the 4 the ref was holding or not. As dominating a performance as you will see. With Red off to a much stronger start than in the previous two years this sets up the Nebraska v PSU dual on Jan 24 as must see TV (Red v. Lee 3) for Indiana fans. Red is 5-1, having only lost to Dom Demas, with a 40% bonus rate. Meanwhile, Lee is 6-0 with an 83.3% bonus rate (3 pins, 2 TFs). Prior to Jan 24, Lee does not face a ranked wrestler, while Red has Moran (Wis, 11) and Murin (Iowa, 9) between now and then.

    There have been a couple of changes after this weekend. Coleman, indeed switches to the favorite and with Parriott med forfeiting his last two at the MSU Open, Limmex looks like the starter at 149 with Parker Filius backfilling (back-filiusing?) at 141. Hinz takes over for Spencer at 184. They still have Pokorney listed at heavy. So now Wrestlestat has it: 125 Hudkins (I) Dec Schroder (P) 3-0 Ind 133 Luigs (I) DEC Cheney (P) 6-0 Ind 141 Konrath (I) DEC Filius(P) 9-0 Ind 149 Limmex(P) DEC Rooks (I) 9-3 Ind 157 Coleman (P) DEC Silva (I) 9-6 Ind 165 Soehnlen (P) DEC Hoey (I) 9-9 174 Lydy (P) DEC Covaciu (I) 12-9 Pur (they wrestled once last year with Lydy winning 5-2) 184 Lyon (P) MD Hinz (I) 16-9 Pur 197 Brunner (P) MD Kleimola (I) 20-9 Pur (they wrestled three times with Brunner taking all three with 2 DECs and one TF) 285 Streck (I) DEC Pokorney (P) 20-12 Purdue Now matches are 6 to 4 favoring Purdue. Interestingly, if you sub Eli for Pokorney the result of that match flip to a DEC for Eli, final score 23-9 Purdue.
