Minnesota, Iowa, and Oklahoma State. What makes them so different?

Here's to hoping that his brother Bart comes to Minnesota too and then shows Iowa what our coaches can do.

Iowa and Minny are going to have some great battles at 125, 133, 141, 149, 157 and 165 the next couple of years.

Sanders v Falck
Ness v Slaton
Thorn v Tsirtsis/LeClere
Schlatter v Metcalf
Safratowich v M*
Glasser v Covington

I would have to assume that 174, 184 and 197 will favor Iowa and then we will see how Berhow has improved from last year to this.

I don't know about that..You could ride Reiter all day..

You didnt know that comming out of high school. No one rode him until he got into college.

That's true of virtually every wrestler moving from HS to college.

I know but my original statement was that I thought he would be a multiple timer comming out of high school. The way he blasted through high school gave me reason to believe that he was going to be a stud. He was very good but not as good as I predicted five or six years ago. I also realize injuries hampered his development.

I remember some Oklahoma guy came in [at Blubaugh's request ], and BRAGGED about how he was the one who initiated the Oklahoma ''wrestling near the circle''-MAN. I hate that crap about dancing out near the zone -IMO-bring your butt to the center and let's do this thing .

I know the O circle technique works but man do I hate it .

I have heard a rumor that Mack will join the staff so I would think that would help bring Bart north to Gods country. I cant wait for Dietchler and Mason to join the mix in acouple years. With Yohn and Disney shoreing up those upper weights and Big Jake and Mario in the middle the dominance Iowa showed this year could be short lived IMO. Ohio State could also make alot of noise in the years to come.Big Ten is alive and well with a few teams that could take that step

There's alot more to a line-up then four weights, I learned that this year.

That being said, the line-up DOES look pretty solid after this coming year.

125 Sanders
133 Ness
141 Thorn
149 Deitchler
157 Mason
165 Glasser
174 Yohn
184 Yohn
197 Geiger
Hwt Disney/Berhow/Nord

David Thorn will also get in the mix I would think. Is the younger Yohn heading to the U? That would be sweet. I think David may be or will get better than Mike before he is done so the gophers should be solid. Mincey is another one that will be in the mix and then there is Austin Enoch and Mariciki to figure in. I think Dietchler will be a heavier weight class than Mario Mason but I like your list

Little Yohn is coming too (Cody) to join older brother. (Sonny).

Minnesota, Iowa, and Oklahoma State. What makes them so different?
