As to my theory of the last3 weights being deep in the big 10 -these are off the top of my head-
184-Wright,Rutt,Steinhaus,Gambrall,Ihnen,Kissell,Munst er
197-Powless ,Borlie,Yohn,Dickenson,Byers,Capone,
285-Nelson,Lane,Wade,Telford,Apland,Rizqallah/Mc Mullen northwestern kid

To anyone who knows guys I've missed please add to the list.

Im anxious to see how VA boy Borlie does now that he will finally start.

Russ, I don't think it's set in stone that Telford gets the nod over Blake. He may but I think as of this moment the spot is still Blakes. He was the Big Ten champ, just took a dump at nationals.

Blake was far from a pillar of consistency this year. Yes he won the big 10, but he also "took a dump" In the first half of the year as well starting 13-5. Had a nice Big 10 season, then took another dump at NCAAs.

Herk,
I just keep hearing Telford is going to tear up the world at 285-I left Chalfant off the list but he is for real.There is a video of him winning the state in Indiana and he is a physical speciman. Placed 3rd at JUCO'S for Harper and played football at Western Kentucky.
Is Nate Moore EVER going to break into Iowa's line up?

I agree. Telford may get his chance this year, but I think as of right now the job is still Rasings. Would be nice for Telford to be a world beater of Mocco's magnitude as a freshman.

Who knows about Nate Moore? He might end up being our 133lber this year. I heard we've got about four different guys that might get that spot and end up being AA's.

What do ya say VA? Nate Moore makin it this year or not?

In my estimation Bobby still needs a leg attack takedown, but I'm sure that's being addressed. I think it will be a very tough decision for the staff to make and will come down to how things go at opens. Telford obviously offers more in the bonus point department and has a higher ceiling.

I am glad you deferred to me Herkey RE Nate Moore, as you have a bit too much involved emotionally.

I see no reason he would start this year.

It's the exact same situation as the year before. Ramos, Clark, Moore. Howd that go for him last time? Continual reports of him not "buying in" emerge from the room. Meanwhile Ramos has had a very busy spring wrestling all the time and working hard. Factor that in with Tony having a fairly successful freshmen year I'd say he's the starter again barring injury.

If Mcd goes 33 obviously the likelihood diminishes even further that we'll ever see him.
