Earlier today, the second-ranked Hawkeyes released their probable lineup for Sunday's dual. The #7 Cyclones have also put out their likely starters for the next installment of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.
The all-time series record is 65-16-2 in favor of Iowa, who have won 15 straight. Below are the likely starters, and then we'll get into a few of the weights with multiple guys listed.
Iowa Probable Starters
125: #1 Spencer Lee or Aaron Cashman
133: #2 Austin DeSanto or Paul Glynn or Gavin Teasdale
141: #9 Max Murin or Carter Happel
149: #6 Pat Lugo
157: #2 Kaleb Young
165: #2 Alex Marinelli
174: #3 Michael Kemerer
184: #11 Cash Wilcke or Nelson Brands
197: #6 Jacob Warner
285: #12 Tony Cassioppi
There's no reason to expect Aaron Cashman unless maybe the dual starts at 133 and the result is fully in hand, but we're betting Tom Brands and his staff roll out Spencer Lee.
Glynn was the starter at 133 against Chattanooga, while DeSanto was up at 141 for the UTC dual. Gavin Teasdale was at the Luther Open, and is entered this weekend in the Lindenwood Open (which is also live on Flo), so he's a long shot to wrestle this Sunday.
Max Murin wrestled one match at the Luther Open and then forfeited out, while Carter Happel had three pins and a major en route to his Luther Open title. I think it's 50/50 we see Murin, who has clearly been some level of banged up.
Lastly, Nelson Brands was in the lineup for the UTC dual at 184 while Wilcke teched and pinned his way through at Luther.
It's a fascinating dual, it's a great rivalry, and the roster questions early in the season for the Black & Gold only add to the intrigue.
