I thought same thing back when I first saw that. Then thought with Suriano coming in it would be best he redshirt and get healthy.Curious about the Robbie Howard injury. If he is scrapping with Bo Basset. Would he be ready to start the season? Scroll to Sept 23, 2021.
He’s more than likely thinking Kirk goes MMA soon as he gets his degree if not sooner.Kirk has 4 years of eligibility left? Why not be the man for 4 more years?
Not sure about Bartlett but I personally think Van Ness is getting the call at 149. I think Steen is a 2 time state champ. Very scrappy kid. I could see him having a career much like Jordan Conaway. Will certainly be a challenge to get into the lineup depending on where and when Howard goes. As for the rest, to me it looks like PSU is right on schedule to win the National championship this season.Just curious if anyone knows if Bartlett's "natural weight" has increased since last season as he was seen
as small last year for 149 and was seen as a 141 pounder, I believe, but having a national champion ahead of
you is a bit of an obstacle and thus he is at 149nds hopefully a little bigger and stronger than last year. Does Howard's injury situation look like it could be resolved with a year off and any info on Steen as I do not know much about him. Thank you. Hopefully they have a great season but an unusual one as some of the Iowa wrestler's are 5th, 6th, or 7th year (even) in college-by this time they should at least be working on a master's degree if not their Ph.D!
I think Beard has more potential - it’s a matter putting it together. In flurries he can take down anybody, even the Ford.I think it is interesting that so many think it is a foregone conclusion that Dean beats out Beard. Unless the plan is to let Beard get stronger and become a bigger 197. I just think they are pretty comparable.
Link to the tweet is dead. Direct link to the story here

Question for the board: if I wanted to send a link to TDC author Ben Serfass, a Jake Aferiat understudy iirc, that most concisely & accurately sources Howard's injury+surgery+projected redshirt + prevailing wisdom that Steen will man 125 this year, which link would you all use? tia

Cryptic Roar at his best! I guess we will have to sit back and wait a bit.I think there will be at least one surprise in this year's line-up.

Does Cassar still have his 7th year?Lots to unpack here in that Brother Roar post; shall we try?First, what do we think constitutes a Roar Surprise?
1. Out the gate, I'm gonna rule out the Joe Lee drop to 157 + Facundo at 165 b/c that's been on the board radar for a few months. Leaving in: any changes from that at either of those weights (such as: Joe Lee stays 165 + anybody really at 157--SVN, BearClaw, MATT LEE)
2. Also ruling out: Robbie Howard redshirt + Shoulder Surgery Recovery + Gary Steen starting 125.
STILL COUNTS AS A SURPRISE: Robbie Howard GOING this year!
3. Does Michael Beard starting at 197 count as a Roar Surprise? If it's only b/c he 'beat out' or 'won the spot' over Max Dean, EYE am going to count that as Not a Surprise.
IF, however, it's b/c Aaron Brooks is taking a redshirt AND Max Dean is going 184 and there was never any Beard v Dean battle, THAT I'm counting as a surprise.
4. Would a Mason Manville appearance count as a Roar Surprise? Mos Def YES, imo, no 'h' required b/c there's no humility in this declaration, which you all will obviously agree with me about.
5. What about BOTH Bartlett AND SVN in the lineup at the same time (WITH Nick Lee at 141 of course)? Bonus exercise complexity: Is this question redundant with #1?
Alright, I'll stop there. Who wants to play? (tia Roar: I miss your provacaroars
Here’s hoping since imo 49,57,65 will determine how well we do this year.Joe Lee will be dynamite at 157. He was a small 165er last year. No Howard at 125... no Steen, either. I see Shunk from Penns Valley filling in until.. VN at 149. Bartlett RS. Can’t wait to see Facundo. 174-285 in murders row.
Does Cassar still have his 7th year?
Just going by past history - I don't think the 3 Cs get quite as antsy to pull a RS as let's say, a Googles Paisano.
My guess is 149. Seems as if those close to the program all love Barraclough and nobody has mentioned him for a while as a potential starter.
Actually it really wouldn't surprise me if we had starters at 125, 149 and 165 that nobody is penciling in at least through January/Feb. Even for duals that may seem critical to some on here.

Talk about getting straight to the point!Suriano will be the 125lber second semester.
???? Must have me confused with some other dipshits. If anything my more outrageous posts lean towards punt years and RS everybody - al la 2020 before Covid hit.
So Steen is eyeing 149 …Just FYI, that Tweet was from nearly 4 months ago.
