Here's my thoughts Pin

125:
1. "Steel" No way will anybody beat him!!!!
2. Precin
3. Steiber (assuming he doesn't redshirt)
4. Sanders
5. Pataky
6. Quiroga
Top 6 advance.

133:
1. Graff
2. Moore
3. Paddock
I believe only 3 from Big Ten advance. Pretty week weight for Big ten after top 2 for sure.

141:
1. Kennedy
2. Russell
3. Thorn
4. Archuleta
5. Alton(assuming he doesn't redshirt)
6. Ballweg
Top 6 advance so that's all the futher I plan to go.

149:
1. Molinaro
2. Grajales
3. Carew(He could sneak out 2nd but don't think he can get around Molinaro)
4. Schmitt
Top 4 advance

157:
1. Deichtler
2. Kinser
3. Taylor(assuming no redshirt)
4. Kerr
5. Welch
Top 5 advance. Another not overpowering weight class that you could switch up these 5 anyway you want.

165:
1. Howe
2. Sponseller
3. St. John
4. Kremerer
Top 4 advance. 2 & 3 could be switched but neither one should beat Howe.

174:
1. Blanton
2. Lofthouse(u heard it here first, still believe he could finish first at Big 10 tourny)
3. Ruth
4. Manuel
5. Glasser
6. Zeerip
Top 6 advance and pretty solid 6. Ethan is going to be my 2nd fav. wrestler next year and he should be a lot of peoples 2nd fav. by the end of the year!!!

184:
1. Wright
2. Gambrall
3. Kissel
Top 3 advance and Wright might be the only AA. Depends on Gambrall and how focused he is.

197:
1. Brandvold
2. Biondo
3. Yohn
4. Lofthouse
5. Brown
6. Platt
Top 6 advance and top 3 are pretty close and finish 3 different ways.

Hwt:
1. Berhow
2. Wade
3. Bugenhagen
4. Raising
Top 4 advance. These 4 are all pretty close and could switch around alot come big ten tourny time.

Top 5 individuals

1. Howe
2. McDonough(Steel)
3. Wright
4. Molinaro
5. Graff/Kennedy

Iowa should win another Big Ten tourny but it will be EXTREMELY hard to beat Cornell & Oky State in the NCAA Tournament.
 
The for sure number 1's in my mind are Howe at 165, Jimmy Kennedy at 141, and McD at 125 or 133.

Biggest surprise that isn't a surprise to Hawks, 174 Lofthouse is a Big Ten Champ.

Ramos and Moore (Joey Jr.) are both tough, but from everything I've heard Ramos lives the Hawkeye lifestyle much better than Moore (Joey Jr.). I really think he'll end up with a better career than Moore (Joey Jr.), and I hope it starts next year.
 
Tobini, they look pretty good except that I don't agree at all with 157. The rest are pretty close to what I would have though...
