Love to see Caliendo registered! Hoping for big things from the crew
I would assume Spencer's elbow is not serious as well too, which is great news.
Fingers crossed. Hoping he just popped it. I have had that happen in a similar position and it was tough to extend it for a couple weeks then good to go.
I'm excited to see Caliendo transfer into full time freestyle and to see what he can do
74kg appears wide open with how Carr has looked and with no Messenbrink. Hope we can see Duke vs Caliendo at WTT.

Looks like Seidel is in at 61kg
Duke, James, and Sealey in at 74kg
I saw that Desanto, Woods, and Buchanan are on the Pan-Am squad

Add in Quincy Monday and Evan Wick at 74 and that is one tough weight. I still haven't seen anything specific as to whether Mesenbrink will attend or not. He may just decide to focus on 2027 Worlds in the run-up to the Olympics.
How in the world will Evan Wick make 74 kg?? Dude is 6'11"!!!
I know! I was shocked to see him registered at 74kg.
Like most of his matches, he either piles up the points quick or doesn't score at all. That'll apply again tomorrow. Hoping to beat Seidel and get another crack at Forrest.
He’s got a good shot against Seidel considering everybody struggles with him the first time they wrestle.
Jayden James beats Mikey 8-3.
Wasn't expecting that outcome. James has jumped a level or so.
Williams loses to Robideau 7-0.
Yeah, I was surprised how easy he was able to get in on Mikey's legs.
Seidel techs Desanto 15-4. Austin was up to begin the 2nd 4-3 got taken down twice and gutted a bunch.
You won't jump. You won't do it....
Cassioppi pinned by parris in 11 seconds.
Those who would know: is the program not living up to expectations or is the new breed of young guns just better than anything we’ve seen before? Seidel, Forrest, Bo, James, etc
A pleasant reminder that Jayden James is still a 17 year old.
Both. Iowa isn't living up to fan expectations and the class of young talent is elite.
Yes and yes. The guys you list are dominant. Someone else can explain how they got there at such a young age.

poor recruiting and poor development. Some will blame it on Money, but its coaching and how the program is run. Sad that it has come to this but it will get better. Everything comes around i just dont think TnT can change enough to get the team were the fans think it should be.
Yes, and yes...and we ain't got any of those new breed. We're the floppy disks of college wrestling.
Are the young guns better than anything we've seen before? No.
Better than what we currently have? Yes.
You just had 2 high schoolers make the Senior World team. They're better than anything we've seen before.
