Abstract: We show that any closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ has a co-final tower of covers $M_{i}oM$ of degrees $n_i$ such that any subgroup of $p{i}_1(M_i)$ generated by $k_i$ elements is free, where $k_{i}ge{n}_i^C$ and $C=C(M)>0$. Together with this result we show that $log{k}_{i}geq{C}_{1}sy{s}_1(M_i)$, where $sy{s}_1(M_i)$ denotes the systole of $M_i$, thus providing a large set of new examples for a conjecture of Gromov. In the second theorem $C_1>0$ is an absolute constant. We also consider a generalization of these results to non-compact finite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifolds.
