He could have 1-2 upsets, but I honestly do not think he will be ready to win more than 1-2 at the B10’s and probably the same at NCAA, if that. This is one of our focus areas for next year and hope is that Max Murin can cut to this weight and backfill here. It is a hole in our lineup, most definitely. Bummer that Senior Philip Laux could not show more consistency. Another likely guy is Justin Stickley (sorry, but all 3 options are quite interchangeable, thus the problem). </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black'>141 <u>Vince Turk</u> Similar to the above – not quite ready for Prime Time.

Outside chance that they would put in <u>Carter Happel</u> instead (4x Iowa State Champ in IA) as they have been splitting time in the lineup. Happel has knocked off a few ranked guys, but just does not have the maturity to be consistent.

He will do well and stay close to most, but he just does not have the offense to beat the elite right now. Another wrestler that may make this spot is <u>Kaleb Young</u>. He has been inserted into the lineup a few times and I, personally, like him.
