I don't think this guy knows a whole lot about wrestling.

I do not know very much about wrestling and don't follow it. I just love hearing about Iowa winning though (I know, I'm a horrible fan, but hey there's only so much time in a day to follow the Hawkeyes and bball has my heart).

Anyway can someone break down for me who will wrestle or compete at each weight for the hawks, how they expect them to finish in the B1G and national scene, and what does the future look like. What weights are strong and which are weak points?

sorry I know that is a lot, but I'm planning to follow wrestling more this year and want to head into the season with better knowledge.

Well for starters he has many of their names spelled incorrectly.

Lots of facts and direct quotes from Tom Brands at media day in this article not sure were you came up with this idea. Troll somewhere else please.

It would be nice to get people to post on this forum not chase them away and call them trolls.

Well for one the winners of wrestle offs aren't the guaranteed starters for that weight. He made it seem that if Mcdonough lost to Clark that Clark would have been the starter and that is just not true. He says Iowa will look the same with the exceptions of 49 and 97 when we also lose a senior at 141 from last year.

First off sorry for the troll comment above. We have alot of them around the first part of the season. Second, you bring up some good points, we lose a huge point guy in Montell Marion at 141 hopefully Mark or possibly even Josh will not be a huge drop off. NO Clark was not going to start over McDonough even if he beat him.

Thanks for explaining your above post, hope to see you around here all season. This board is only gonna grow.

I don't take any comment to heart so don't worry about that. I just don't like it when people write a wrestling article without doing some research because when the casual fan comes across an article like this they will assume its correct.
