It's official -- Schlatter to 157

125 Sanders
133 Ness
141 Thorn
149 Mason
157 Schlatter
165 Yohn
174 Glasser
184 Young
197 Yohn
Hwt Berhow...

That all looked fine until the last three weights.

At first I thought this to be an article from The Onion. Given the NCAA rules on weight loss over time, the idea had to be planted in J Rob's mind for a while and Schlatter has been wrestling well under 165 for a few duals. I'll hazard a guess the plan was hatched the day Deitchler was declared ineligible.

I'll hazard a guess that it has been going back and forth since Burroughs went out with the knee injury.

I think this is great for Schlatter and Minny. It gives him the best chance for a title, and it fills the hole for U of M. 157 seemed a bit weak before, and now it feels less weak. J.P. O. will have to work harder for a title now.

On a Hawkeye side note: Aaron Janssen, eat your Wheaties. Oh, and watch out for the slick, quick duck-under.

He hasn't wrestled in nearly a month, so this is probably why. Probably cutting weight at the specified % loss per week, or however it works.

I am sure Bourroughs injury has NOTHING to do with this.......Saw this coming from right field.

Because it isn't like Dustin is 3-1 in his career against Burroughs or anything.

Seriously doubt it... I'd say even with Burroughs, 157 wasn't a harder weight to win than 165.

Burroughs would beat DS by 5 points plus
