@@Jacknippleson1 every year he starts off fatigued and people always think it’s because he typically techs guys by the 1st period and that he’ll gas out in March. He just trusts the process and reaps the rewards at the end of the year.
They needed Spencer in the dual meet. Without him, I don't think they would've won before going out you can tell in his eyes he just got done dropping weight fast. He came out because his team needed him.
Looks bigger for sure,1st time making weight,might have been heavy.Nothing like wrestling shape,give him 3 or 4 matches,Same with Real Woods,still manged a tough win over Swaderski!
He’s been an explosive wrestler who can beat anyone on any given day. But I think he answered a lot of questions in this match. His gas tank and conditioning being the main question. A grueling match obviously they game planned for him. Didn’t let him wrestle from space, heavy tie ups the whole match. And gets it done in overtime. Super impressive.
So great to see Spencer Lee without those big ole knee braces. He deserves to have a year without injuries! Can't wait to see him transition to freestyle and international competition.
I was so happy to finally see Spencer wrestle in person. Lived in Canada until Feb 26, 2021when I moved back and of course he didn't wrestle last year so it was a huge treat for me and a great meet. Stuff for all the Hawkeyes to work on!
@@kaffeephilosophy Lost to stalling calls from a ref listening to the crowd for when to make the call for stalling when he was being shoved out of bounds, which is actually stalling by the wrestler doing the shoving, to be more precise.

@@jomama969 this match was the first time I saw bro look that sweaty and looking defeated at only the end of the 2nd, even him getting picked up and taken down like, never seen that in his college career
The man is back. I hope this kid can stay healthy for this year and one Olympic year and still be the dame guy athletically. He had no explosion yet. In four months he’ll look like a totally different guy. First time we’re I’ve actually seen him looking s but sucked in. Looks like he had a tough cut. Especially with how gases he was after the first. One place where the knees won’t hinder him much. He bearded on top as usual.
Great to see Spencer Lee back in the singlet. Respectfully his technique is a little off at certain points, and I think we all saw him start to gas out. However I think Spencer Lee just needs to warm up and wrestle a couple matches to get back into his groove. After a few matches, he’ll get his conditioning back, he’ll sharpen up, and he’ll look just as unstoppable as before
Scrolling through comments waiting to see this! His intensity the last 10 seconds was elite wrestling. Reminded me of Jason Nolf momentarily just chain wrestling like crazy! Hope he can work that more across all 3 periods.
I dont see why Woods was celebrating so hard. He barely won against a freshman (that is not to say Swiderski is your average freshman), and the reason he won was due to running away last period and stalling/hanging on in the previous periods.
I had the same thoughts a number two guy sqeeking by a true freshman but it was his first time in Carver as a Hawkeye. They dont get crowds like that in Stanford.
Swiderski is a beast he just need to keep his head or opponents are gonna play into his anger and take advantage of any emotional decisions he makes in the match
I don't know why Woods is so happy...a true freshman took it to him pretty good. The stall call against Swiderski was BS. Woods just held on the whole period. They wrestle again and I'll take Swiderski every time.
Spencer Lee- for match back, definitely shaking off the rust and easing his way back into the sport. Expect to see him in peak form by NCAA's, but don't wanna jinx it.
He was noticed 2 days before the match he was wrestling and had to cut all that weight in that shirt of a time all after 11 months removed from 2 acl surgeries. He’ll be fine but nothing is every guaranteed obviously
@@sterlingshort744 It’s not guaranteed, correct. But I wouldn’t bet one single dollar against him winning his 4th. LOL. I can’t wait to see it-It will be the greatest moment in the history of Iowa wrestling.
weight cut might be affecting his gassing. Hopefully he is not affected by staying lighter weight. He looked good but a for sure gassed out and looked really drawn in in the face.
I think cabanban can actually hang with lee when he’s not nervous. You could see he was nervous at the beginning and lost a lot of points because of it. When he realized he had nothing to lose, he started wrestling much better
Woods did absolutely nothing in the 2nd period to turn Casey when he was on top. He also did nothing but stall in the 3rd period, ran away twice and the ref was too afraid of the crowd to actually do his job to call stalling. Typical Hawkeye BS. Lee is the only one who shows up to wrestle instead of worrying more about trying to get stall calls.
@@holdencawffle626 man shut up with that IOWA GOOD talk. I don't see yourself out there as "IOWA GOOD." Woods was good last year and it's early in the season. Be happy Woods is at Iowa and actively competing at that weight class. He's clearly "IOWA GOOD" if he's the starter and an All-American. You obviously know nothing about Swiderski as well.
@@holdencawffle626 put that pipe down.Real first match sense February, Swaderski as tough as they get .Do you know anything about Swaderski? #2 recruit in the country,Woods gave him his first L in college.Wrestling shape is different than being a gym rat!
@@jbrowne9357 I know a bytch when I see one.. running away scared 3rd period and should’ve had a stalling call on him but that would make too much sense. Especially after the BS stalling call in the 2nd Iowa fan-boy
Staling call wasn't right in the first period. Keeping back to avoid double unders isn't any more staling than Real Woods jumping away from the shot in the third. Almost fleeing the mat at that point. Either way, it should have went to over time. Would rather see this match not decided by staling.
Tapanga Soul, I agree 100%. Also, it wasn't "almost". Woods did flee the mat. In reply to Daniel Pendleton, fair and square would have been having a ref that isn't too much of a coward to call stalling against ANY Hawkeye wrestler (when warranted) within the same amount of time they would call it against ANY Hawkeye opponent.
As soon as Murin started trying to shove Johnson out of bounds, instead of wrestling him, I knew Johnson was going to win. Absolutely AWESOME! These refs need to start calling the "shove out" for what it is WAY more often. It's STALLING!!!
Looks like lee probably had to cut a lot of weight fast resulting in him havin very little energy i can see it in his face i used to cut a lot of weight quick nd it can really take the drive out of u
It’s very difficult on the body to be conditioned for the entire season. You sacrifice a lot of power, speed, health, etc. He don’t need to be conditioned until Big Ten
much respect for Tom an Spencer! coming from Cambridge with Luke Becker . keep up the hard work . was surprised to see Lee in the 3rd . you looked gassed bud . knee surgery no joke . don't make it an excuse!
If you go to Iowa, be prepared to sacrifice your body for the glory of the Brands brothers. Forget about your future dreams of competing internationally on the senior circuit
Murin DESERVED that loss... for years now he has wrestled the same style with little offense and a more athletic wrestler caught him and guess what..... this has happening to him since his redshirt freshman year and no change from him. This falls on the coaching staff and him as an athlete for not being coachable.
@@benjaminminton3811 right but as an athlete if you have been experiencing the same issues and have not made any improvement.. that tells me there is something wrong with or the coaching staff.
@@Thebluesky0311 what makes you say that? He’s just a student wrestling for a collage program maybe he’s not perfect. Some people don’t get any better..
Spencer lee's bar is a chicken wing every time. As far as I understand that's usually illegal and the ref stops the action. I'd like to see the refs take that away from him and see how well he does.
Dude had 2 major surgeries last year, that’s a fact.. also resting in a chair b4 his day view prob means he’s protecting the longevity that’s he’s got left in dem knees
good to see spencer back, i dont suspect conditioning will be a long term issue as hes always been one of the hardest working guys out there.
Come NCAAs he will have the best gas tank. I bet he wasn’t happy with being taken down.
@@Jacknippleson1 every year he starts off fatigued and people always think it’s because he typically techs guys by the 1st period and that he’ll gas out in March. He just trusts the process and reaps the rewards at the end of the year.

@@xnomixgaming7546 Gee whiz. Do you think the fact that takes a little while to come back from may play a part in his early season form? 🤔
@@jomama969 that my point
Would love to see a Swaderski vs Woods rematch ASAP
if swiderski improves on escaping, woods will absolutely lose. There's no need for a rematch.
Woods acting way too cocky for a Senior who barely beat a freshman
Yea, I think Casey definitely has his number. Freshmen learning curve but he has so much raw talent.

most likely

maybe he is just out of shape, its probably really hard to stay in wrestling shape after recovering from surgery
Injuries and jacked up on pills constantly
No. He gasses.
How cool would it be to wrestle in an environment like this???? What a great stage!!!
Casey Swiderski had a good showing as a freshman. That was a close match
wait till hes a senior
Swiderski is not the 12th best wrestler in that weight class. I’ll be very surprised if he isn’t on the podium.
Paniro is one to watch this year ...great match
Agreed! It's also satisfying to watch Murin lose lol

So… what did Casey Swiderski place?
So great to see Spencer Lee without those big ole knee braces. He deserves to have a year without injuries! Can't wait to see him transition to freestyle and international competition.
Awesome to see Derek St. John and Brent Metcalf coaching for Iowa St against there former collegiate team Iowa

Love seeing both teams good again makes it more entertaining for the state 🙌🏻
I agree. I was at the 2018 daul in carver hawkeye areana where it was 19-18. It was a close dual. Very competitive and entertaining!
Love to see Spencer Lee back! Can’t be easy
Swiderski lost to experience. Many freshman have to learn how not to get ridden out. He and Johnson are the real deal.
Lost to stalling, to be more precise.

Spencer looks very depleted. He looks like he just got off the scale right before his match.
No doubt you could see it in his eyes.
He won a major 11 months after 2 acl surgeries?
He was only given two days notice to wrestle in this dual. Cutting all that weight in that short time will do that
@@kenw2225 "Only" a major after being up 12-1 early in the first period is still unusual for Lee. He looked gassed at the end. He'll be fine later in the year.

Spencer Lee, great wrestler. He will be a great coach for Iowa and groomed
by the Brands brothers!
No need to worry about Spencer's condition by March he'll be unstoppable once again
Spencer Lee looked gassed. Not a good sign...Not a dominate win like before. Good to see him back however. He needs better conditioning
First match back. Adrenaline and rust had him gassed.
clearly he wasnt 100%, i would guess he was sick and stepped up for the team because they would have lost the dual without him
and it was clearly a dominant win still lmao
looks like a bad weight cut to me.. idk i might be trippin
You can drill it as much as you want. Live wrestling conditioning is a different level. A few matches and he'll be 100
When is the full dual video replay going to be available on the BTN+?
No David carr match? 😢
Good I miss him at iowa!!!
Hes back
Yea, Lee didn’t look good sitting in that chair. We know he’ll be a ton better.
Hawks got it done.
Anyone else see watching David carr watching Lee’s match intently?
they are friends dont worry david cant drop that much weight lol
Spencer will get his wind back pretty quick. Plus, cutting weight will be like old hat. He can ride his natural talent until then.
Real classy woods hyped over barely holding off a true freshman😂
Good lord can the announcers be anymore pro Iowa 🙄🙄🙄
Come March Lee techs or pins his opponent. It’s December. He has three months to increase cardio. If lee can stay healthy it’s another ncaa title.
Spencer gassed hard lol. Clearly still has it though, just needs to get back in shape, you can clearly see he looks thicker.
