It’s an interesting matchup, for sure. I think both guys have stellar defense and would stymie one another on offensive point-scoring. I would predict they trade escapes and one of them wins on RT advantage in TBs.

If they face each other Carter will take Mekhi down. Book it.
Agree. I actually think Carter matches up well against Lewis in comparison to some other the other top guys.
I’m not booking it, but I like Starocci in that match. Hidlay has my attention, though.
Agree. He worries me more than Lewis but let’s get real here. Any of these top 5 or 6 could beat another on any given day. I like that our guys seem to wrestle their best at Nationals tho….
Yeah, he does. Good thing too. I hear he’s getting pushed by Turk in the room lately. Wonder what the guys over on HR think about that. You should ask em..
…Whistling…
Joseph had 9 career losses. Three each to Marinelli and Martinez. Obviously one to Lewis. Without googling or using wrestlestat, who were the other 2?
Correct! This is his only loss I don’t remember. He lost 6-4 in SV1.
In Carter's 2 career losses, he gave up NF points in both of them that became insurmountable deficits.Agree. He worries me more than Lewis but let’s get real here. Any of these top 5 or 6 could beat another on any given day. I like that our guys seem to wrestle their best at Nationals tho….
10-1 after 1 to Washington
7-1 after 2 to Kem
Bottom line he isn't blowing any of the other Top 6 174 out the water but he's perfectly cool in close match situations.
My money is on C* for the next 3 years.
Damn I wish we could bet on wrestling.
In my opinion, Detroit is the tipping point for Carter. If he runs the gauntlet in this weight and finishes on top, look out. He will be a different wrestler next year. His challenge (self imposed) will not be to win a title. It will be to destroy everyone in his path. Meaning he will wrestle the top talent like he wrestles the mid-tier talent now.
No one will be safe.
That board is something. They take something I posted here, ask me about it using @mcpat so I’d get tagged and respond, then tell me to stay off their board.

Does he get clubbed by Turk in the room too? Because all Turk does in actual matches is push and club.
It's possible you were invited to a sparring session and expected to take you lumps from the champs as they prepare to defend their title belt.
That's crazy, the grind of NCAAs is so rough I feel like nobody is a better wrestler after their 5th year in college. Most are worse than they were as juniors or "real" seniors....
He’s wrestling up a weight and his funk just isn’t enough to overcome the bigger / better guys.
What? Have you ever even seen him wrestle?
He has a european style for sure. lot of elbow pulls, front head to leg attacks. But it's all pretty fundamental stuff. Micic's biggest problem is this is probably the first time in his life he's ever picked up a dumb bell.
Perhaps a 125 in July is not suited to wrestle 141 in a season starting in November.
This is Micic's 5th year on a college mat. He had zero matches in 2016, 2020, and 2021.
Ok, funk might have been the wrong choice, but he is losing in positions that he would normally be able to win at 133 and in a couple of matches he was just overpowered.
Vince Turk returns
Vince Turk will be rejoining the Iowa Wrestling program. Turk has been in the military which froze his eligibility clock. He will have one year of eligibility to compete. Turk was an NCAA Qualifier in 2018 at 141 lbs. His 3-2 record at Nationals saw him drop close matches to the eventual NCAA...

“This will be a real battle for the varsity spot at 149 that may come down to a coaches decision right before Big Tens.
It is competition like this for a varsity spot that reminds me of national championship Iowa Wrestling teams of the past.”
I hope HR doesn’t get hold of the author.
Yeah… I was cracking up reading that stuff. Btw, hope you don’t mind but I’m kinda sorta living vicariously through you over there…. So give ‘em hell! Lol

If so, that would make a total of 2 people who haven't figured that out.
Who's paying Connor to put out that propaganda?
That article is from August when Turk returned lol

I know a lot of people on this board don't like Turk because of his aggression. I think he's a guy you dislike when he's an opponent.If he's on our roster most people would like him for his "toughness".Vince Turk returns

I think he beats Murin.
Yeah turk is said to be a real straight shooter
Vince Turk is an undefeated national champ if you include all scoring up to 10 seconds after the whistle blows.
When I speculated about that recently, I was told by folks in the know that it wasn’t happening.
