Starter - Max Murin - 141 - Iowa Backup - Cash Wilcke - 184 - Iowa

List of guys who have AA'd or made R12 in their careers + other impactful newcomers that will presumably be competing at 133 this season: Gross (R12-2-1) Micic (4-2) Suriano (X-2) Fix/Piccinnini (4-R12) Pletcher (R16-4) DeSanto (R12) Wilson (3) Lizak (R16-2-4) Parker (R24-8-7) Bridges (8) Mueller (6-R12) Erneste (DNQ-NQ-R12) Lantry (NQ-R12-R16) Arujau/Tucker (NQ) Gomez RBY Weight could be 15-16 deep with really quality guys.

Penn St. will be lucky to get 2nd. Iowa is going to run over them this year and the foreseeable future.

Iowa has a good shot to challenge for the team title in 2020, I don’t think Lee would want to RS for that. Maybe an abbreviated schedule like Snyder in 2016.

2019 Lee DeSanto (JRent RS) Turk/Murin/Happel Lugo 2020 Lee Renteria Turk/Murin/Happel (DeSanto RS) Lugo 2021 Lee Renteria DeSanto/Happel Murin/Happel

Jack Davis just committed to Penn St.

I added Josh Terao to the list, but Eggum stated that Lizak-McKee-Thorn would all be moving up a weight class (hence Lizak listed instead of McKee), and Alber was a 141 lber last year - haven't heard anything about him going down.

Looking at the guys rumored to be moving up, and the returners at 133.. shaping up to be a monster weight class. (Results are just from this past season) Seth Gross (Champ @ 133) Stevan Micic (2nd @ 133) Nick Suriano (2nd @ 125) Daton Fix/Nick Piccinnini/Kaid Brock (Piccinnini R12 @ 125 - Brock 5th @ 133 - Fix Incoming RS FR) Ethan Lizak (4th @ 125) Luke Pletcher (4th @ 133) Tariq Wilson (3rd @ 133) Montorie Bridges (8th @ 133) Scotty Parker (7th @ 133) Austin DeSanto (R12 @ 133) John Erneste (R12 @ 133) Jack Mueller (R12 @ 133) Josh Terao (12 seed @ 133) Roman Bravo-Young (Incoming TR FR) Austin Gomez (Incoming RS FR) Vitali Arujau (Incoming GS FR) Any other notable names that belong on that list? The depth resembles 125 or 165 from 2018.

Other guys granted releases and considering transfer options: Devin Skatzka Justin Oliver Mason Smith Sean Russell Connor Schram Sa'Derian Perry

I definitely agree. Any smaller school, or Non-Traditional wrestling power need look no further than SDSU and Bono to figure out how to elevate their program and excitement around it. Very impressive what he has done there in a short amount of time.

Tomasello TF Schnupp 5-0 tOSU Pletcher Dec Keener 8-0 tOSU Lee Dec McKenna 8-3 tOSU Retherford TF Hayes 8-8 TIE Jordan Pin Pipher 14-8 tOSU Joseph MDec Campbell 14-12 tOSU Hall Dec Jordan 15-14 PSU Nickal Dec Martin 18-14 PSU Moore Dec Rasheed/Cassar 18-17 PSU Snyder MDec Nevills 21-18 tOSU Bouts that I view as toss ups: 141-174-184 Something I don't expect to happen, but wouldn't shock me is if Rasheed came out like a ball of fire and lit up Kollin Moore with a cradle. I can just envision this happening at rec hall for some reason. His cradle has always been fierce, and he has hit it on multiple AA level guys in his career.

Lee by MD Brock by MD Heil by MD Sorensen by DEC Kemerer by MD Marinelli by DEC Smith by DEC PD3 by MD Weigel by DEC Stoll by DEC IOWA win 21-14.

He won the first one 7-5 in a close one at the JR Open, then the second one 10-4 at JR WTTs.
