The other day on Twitter, I asked people to put together a college dual lineup with the current weights using all-time greats from their home state. 

Using the current weights, if you were to create an all-time great college dual team with wrestlers from your home state, what would it look like?

The responses where awesome and really got people talking. So, here are the top lineups for 16 of the biggest wrestling states. Enjoy, research, and debate. 

California

CA:
125: Stephen Abas
133: Eric Guerrero
141: Derek Moore
149: Adam Tirapelle
157: Dave Schultz
165: Mark Schultz
174: Chris Pendelton
184: Zahid Valencia
197: Mark Munoz
285: Stephen Neal

HM: Jesse Delgado, Nahshon Garrett, Dan Chaid

— Last Chance Open (@IsntAction) March 22, 2020

Other options include: Jesse Delgado at 125,  Gerry Abas at 141, Isaiah Martinez at 165, and Jake Varner at 197.

I would probably sub in Jake Varner, making it the best lineup from 57 on imo.

Colorado

Top of my head for Colorado:
125: Henry Cejudo (he counts, ok!)
133: Tyler Graff
141: Tom Clum (I’m bumping him up)
149: Kevin Levalley
157: Ryan Deakin
165: Cody Yohn
174: Dean Lahr
184: Joe Leblanc
197: Sonny Yohn
285: Connor Medbery

— David Bray (@_davidbray) March 23, 2020

Other options include: Ben Cherrington at 157, Barry Weldon at 174, Duane Goldman at 197, and Nathan Burak at 197

I know Cejudo won two Colorado state titles, but I might still argue against putting him on the Colorado team.

Illinois

Illinois
125: Mike Mena, 4x AA
133: Tony Ramos, 1x champ
141: Josh Alber / BJ Futrell
149: Tony Davis, 1x champ
157: TJ Williams, 2x champ
165: Joe Williams, 3x champ
174: RSH needed
184: John Kading, 2x champ
197: RSH
HWT: John Lockhart, 1x champ

— Ryan Warner (@Ryan_N_Warner) March 23, 2020

Other options include: Jordan Blanton at 174,  Rich Powers at 174, Larry Kristoff at 285, and Tom Erickson at 285

Just an interesting side note that the bottom half of the team here went to border state Iowa to wrestle in college for either the Hawkeyes or the Panthers.

Indiana

Other options include: Nick Lee at 141

Iowa

For example, I'm from Iowa and I would go with:
125: Barry Davis
133: Tom Brands
141: Dan Gable
149: Chuck Yagla
157: Jim Zalesky
165: Mark Reiland
174: Royce Alger
184: Lee Fullhart
197: Eric Voelker
285: Tolly Thompson

— JD Rader (@rader_jd) March 22, 2020

Other options include: Terry Brands at 125, Eric Juergens at 125/133, Mark Ironside at 133, and Tim Kreiger at 149

Iowa has incredible depth at 125 at 133 with two three-time NCAA champs as starters in Davis and Brands. The lineup and other options doesn't include national champions Matt McDonough, Thomas Gilman, Cory Clark, Jason Kelber, Jim Gibbons, and Mike Land.

Maryland

Maryland:
25-Todd Beckerman (5,4)
33-Brandon Lauer (8)
41-Lenny Bernstein (4)
49-Lloyd Keaser (4,3, world ?)
57-Kelly Ward (2,2,1)
65-Mack Lewnes (4,4,2)
74-Rico Chiapparelli (5,4,1)
84-Michael Cannon (6,8,3)
97-Pat Downey (5)
285-Kyle Snyder (2,1,1,1)
Bonus: Helen Maroulis

This team is unreal. What's just as crazy is how young/current it is. The only two not from the past 20 years are Haselrig and Kolat.
