Kueter new #1 P4P in MatScouts rankings

Willie Saylor of MatScouts updated his rankings following  a huge weekend of high school wrestling across the country. Incoming Iowa Hawkeye Ben Kueter is now the #1 P4P (pound for pound) recruit in the country as well as #1 at 215 lbs.

Kueter won a U20 World freestyle title this past summer in Sofie, Bulgaria in impressive fashion. He is a three-time undefeated state champion for City High (Iowa City, Iowa). Kueter is highly ranked nationally as a linebacker in football. Last year Kueter committed to both the Iowa Wrestling and Iowa Football programs. I have stated numerous times that Ben Kueter is the best athlete for an incoming Iowa Wrestling recruit that I have ever seen.

Nate Jesuroga went up one spot to #15 on the PFP rankings and is still #1 in the country at 126. Ryder Block remained #3 at 138.

Gabe Arnold moved up one notch to #2 at 182. Arnold defeated two wrestlers that were ranked ahead of him nationally at the Dan Gable Donnybrook two weeks ago and continues to climb the rankings. 

And as always Iowa Wrestling fans, do NOT forget about Cody Chittum. He was the #1 overall recruit in the Class of 2022 and is taking a grey shirt season. He will begin classes next August with the Class of 2023. 

Should these rankings hold up, that would give the Hawks two #1 overall recruits…in one incoming class. Has that ever happened before? I will have to ask Willie himself.

I will keep repeating that the Class of 2023 is the best recruiting class in the history of Iowa Wrestling. By quite a margin.

This group of recruits will make their way from warming up in “The greatest wrestling training facility…in the world!” through a tunnel and into yet another sold out Carver-Hawkeye Arena with the crowd on their feet singing the Iowa Fight Song. Cannot wait.

The future looks great for Iowa Wrestling.

Iowa in new InterMat rankings (Dec 13)

InterMat released their new rankings. It is still Penn State-Iowa for 1-2 in both the Tournament and Dual rankings. Penn State was 16 points ahead of Iowa last week and are now 24.5 points in front of Iowa at 102.5-78. Iowa went down .5 points and Penn State gained eight points this week. Missouri and Cornell remained at 3-4.

The Dual Meet rankings stayed the same another week with Penn State-Iowa-Ohio State-Arizona State.

At 157 Cobe Siebrecht went up from 24 to 21 and Patrick Kennedy rose one from 14 to 13 at 165. Nelson Brands dropped from 14 to 17 at 174.

All of the other Iowa wrestlers remained the same in the rankings from last week. #1 ranked Spencer Lee and #2 ranked Real Woods, Tony Cassioppi is #3, Max Murin and Jacob Warner are both at #6.  Abe Assad at #8 and Brody Teske at #14. 

Iowa will compete next at the Soldier Salute in Coralville, Iowa on December 29-30.

Mid-season review: 133

The starting spot at 133 was one of the big questions for the starting lineup heading into the season. Senior transfer Brody Teske defeated Cullan Schriever in the wrestle off to make the varsity squad. In the season opener Teske defeated Hunter Leake of Cal-Baptist, 6-4. We have not seen Teske since due to an injury.

Schriever started the season off by winning the Luther Open. He then won his first three varsity matches to begin the year with an 8-0 record. Since then he has dropped three straight close matches in dual meets.

Following the Iowa State meet Tom Brands stated on the radio that Teske was the starter at 133 but that he was out with an injury. I hope we will see Teske in the lineup soon. Even though Teske has only wrestled that one early match he is still ranked #14 by InterMat. 

Eight of the nine remaining dual meets have a ranked opponent at 133 including the #1 and #2 ranked wrestlers in the country. I am hoping Teske gets the quality mat time in to prepare for the post season tournaments.

Points for Iowa at 133 will be critical in the team race. Teske certainly has the potential to score quality points for us and challenge for All American status at the NCAA National Tournament.

Mid-season review: 125

With a break in the schedule I wanted to go through each weight with a mid-season review.

I am sure that Iowa fans will not soon forget the dramatic return of Spencer Lee at 125 in the Iowa State meet. Lee came through with a 16-5 major decision in his first competition in almost a year to lead Iowa to an 18-15 victory over the Cyclones.

When will we see Lee compete again? Iowa is at the Soldier Salute in Coralville on December 29-30. Maybe we see Lee make weight both days and wrestle a few matches. This would be a really good simulation for Big Tens and the NCAA National Tournament. 

One thing that was easy for all to see is that Lee is bigger than last year. Making weight and competing in a 1-2 hour time frame will be a bigger challenge than in the past. That is why I was thinking out loud that we may see him compete at the Soldier Salute.

In Lee’s absence, Iowa is 0-6 at 125 in dual meets this season. After the first of the year we head into the rugged Big Ten where the competition level will go up a big notch. Or three. The remaining Iowa schedule is loaded with ranked wrestlers at 125 with the #3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 25 nationally ranked opponents. Lee is ranked #1.

I am hoping for a healthy Spencer Lee for Big Tens and the NCAA National Tournament as he goes for his fourth NCAA title.

Ayala wins title at UNI Open

Iowa had nine wrestlers compete at the UNI Open in Cedar Falls.

Nine Hawks to compete at UNI Open

Iowa Wrestling will have nine wrestlers competing at the UNI Open on Saturday. Six wrestlers will be attached and three will compete unattached. 

Drake Ayala, Caleb Rathjen, and Zach Glazier will compete as Unattached. I am looking forward to seeing Drake Ayala compete for the first time this season. Ayala stepped in as a true freshman at 125 when Spencer Lee went down to injury last year and has been out so far this year with an injury. I was able to see Ayala at the open practices. I am here to tell you Drake Ayala will not be undersized at 125 for the rest of his career. Ayala is all ready to step in for Spencer Lee at 125 next season. I believe he will be a huge factor on the national scene at 125 right away.

Caleb Rathjen will be at 157. He wrestled varsity at 157 for two dual meets where he won against Buffalo and dropped a match against Sacred Heart. Zach Glazier will be competing at 197. He made an appearance on the varsity squad with a tech fall over Sacred Heart.

Jesse Ybarra, Jace Rhodes, Carter Martinson, Jude Link, Easton Fleshman, and Gage Marty will compete as Attached. This will be the first competition of the year for Ybarra who wrestled varsity matches at 125 last season.

Competition will begin at 9 AM CST in the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

I will post a follow up blog with results.

Drake Ayala – 125

Chattanooga preview

Iowa will be on the road with a dual meet at Chattanooga (TN) on Saturday night at 6 PM CST. The Hawks are fresh off of a big dual meet win at home over Iowa State. This will be the last competition for Iowa before the Christmas break.

Spencer Lee is not listed at 125 and I certainly did not expect him to compete. New to the Probable Lineup this week is Jesse Ybarra along with Cullan Schriever at 133. Ybarra competed at 125 last season but has yet to see action this year.

Real Woods is also listed with Drew Bennett at 141. I hope we see Woods in the lineup for the remainder of the season. He is an entertaining wrestler with the potential to win it all. 

For the first time this season Cobe Siebrecht is the only wrestler listed at 157. Siebrecht won the wrestle off and is 5-0 with five pins and three major decisions for the season. Siebrecht is the only Iowa wrestler to score bonus points in every match this year. Now anywhere from #14 to #24 in the rankings Siebrecht has been impressive so far this year. 

The biggest match of the night will be at 174 with #14 Nelson Brands vs #16 Rocky Jordan. Jordan transferred from Ohio State. Brands is 2-0 on the year after returning to the lineup for the Penn and Iowa State dual meets.

After Saturday night the Hawks will be off until the Soldier Salute on December 29-30 in Coralville. Iowa will start Big Ten competition with a home dual meet against Illinois on Friday, January 6 with Fan Appreciation Day.

The Chattanooga meet will be available on 800 AM KXIC and streamed on ESPN+ premium service.
