TBar1977 4,540 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Listed below are the number of matches wrestled by each team's starter. Redshirt years not counted because they are not quite the same thing experience wise. With the unreal difference in experience this should be a blowout win for Iowa. I guess time will tell. 125 Spencer Lee 71, Robbie Howard 0 133 Austin DeSanto 90, RBY 56 141 Jaydin Eierman 108,Nick Lee 98 149 Max Murin 49, PSU has Verkleeren 47 OR Barraclough 2 OR Bartlett 0 157 Kaleb Young 70, Brady Berge 29 165 Marinelli 77, Joe Lee 2 174 Kemerer 84, Carter Starocci 3 184 Brands 16, Aaron Brooks 18 197 Warner 55, Beard 0 Hwt Cassioppi 24, Kerkvliet 0 OR Nevills 19 Edited February 1, 2021 by TBar1977 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VakAttack 4,016 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 Based on what we've seen, I'm going to guess we're not going to get these lineups, unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you reverse the 7 and the 1 it becomes at least possible, and I am not sure Lee will surrender an offensive point the rest of his career he is so good. Iowa should probably just crush PSU with all this experience they have this year and next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronChef 1,103 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 How many Iowa guys will choose to come back next year, and how would that affect scholarships? Lee, DeSanto, Eierman, Young, Marinelli, and Kemerer would all ordinarily be out of eligibility after this season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uncle bernard 1,117 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 I don't think we're going to see Marinelli. That's a huge swing for PSU unless they can get Kennedy down to 165. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a huge swing for PSU unless they can get Kennedy down to 165. Kennedy just wrestled 174. If he was over 170.1 then I don't think he can descend to 165 in 12/13 days.

If he just weighed in at 174 the he won't be able to make the descent in time. At 1.5% per week(0.015/7 for a daily), the earliest he could make 165 would be 25 days from last competition.

nhs67 2,063 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 I would love to see them get creative (Iowa). Bump everyone up one weight. If you start at 141 and let Happel wrestle Lee, then you have Eierman, Murin, Young at 149-157-165 OR! OOOORRRR!! And please Brands DO THIS. Let Ybarra seek his revenge against Howard at 125. I'm sure he has a taste in his mouth about that, still. 125-Ybarra 133-Lee 141-Desanto 149-Eierman 157-Murin 165-Young 174-Kemererererer/Kennedy 184-Brands/Assad 197-Warner 285-Cassman I would froth at the mouth and wouldn't even piss and moan about the potential Eierman/Kemerererererer ducks.

nhs67 2,063 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 In that scenario, they would have to weigh within 1.5-2% of their regular weight class and bump or they'd have to be on a descent plan to get back to their 'normal' weights. Lee-RBY? YES!! Desanto-Lee? YESYES!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brands was asked about it after the Illinois meet and specifically mentioned the 17 day waiting period multiple times, which leads me to believe he tested positive and wasn't just out for contact tracing.

Didn't hear the post interview, thanks. They put out a press release right before the dual announcing Marinelli was out due to Covid protocols as well. It's all speculation as to whether he actually tested positive, but from the information available, it seems likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since failing to deliver on the promised rocket ship, I don't go out of my way to listen to Brands' press conferences or Iowa's press releases. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they don't then there are 4 tossups and 1 weight each where they are favored. This idea isn't insane, especially if they're wanting to avoid RBY-Desanto and Lee-Eierman until B1Gs.

I think it goes favorite psu, tossup, favorite psu, favorite iowa, favorite psu, favorite psu as opposed to guaranteed 5+, tossup, tossup, favorite iowa, tossup, favorite psu. Not only do you miss Lee's bonus (which is basically like an extra win), you put all of your guys at their non ideal weights. They would still have to weigh in pretty close to their normal class. This isn't high school. You can't give up that kind of weight like that. Look at Rivera bumping against Micic two years ago.

Idk if I’d even call him and Rby a toss up anymore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
