Newhawks: USAF is an established Iowa wrestling room "insider." He doesn't need me to speak for him but I will say I'm positive he meant no offense. Please understand he's not comparing Mike to the Campolattanos of the world--he's comparing them to college wrestling's elite. The Jay Borschels. The Phil Keddys. Mike is now up against a whole new level of athleticism and skill.
And if he's in the 180s now, wait until he's been training for 1 year plus under the Iowa S&C staff and a guy named Chris Doyle. Based on what you have said I think he's more likely to be at 184 in just over a year when he comes off redshirt.
Thanks for making it a little clearer. Mike weighs 178, weighed in all year "fully clothed" and still only came in at 180 to 182. He tends to lose weight as practice kicks rather then gain. This group of guys are special, and we wish the best for each and everyone of them. Once again thanks for the clarification.
