We Will Collective May Donor Drive - Last Day, Help Needed!
We're in the final hours of a critical push to signup donors for the May Donor Drive. Let your Cyclone friends know!
Please consider giving at We Will Collective.
Give me break guy I never said you don’t get all high and mighty now.
I never said that. I said they’ve both struggled getting past baseline head hands defense at times and inability to finish shots.
You’re making a terrible correlation to try to debate here. Yonger has beat plenty of good guys. He’s proven he can beat the best of the best, he can score at will, he can finish shots. He just hasn’t proven he can handle the big tournament that well in his 3 appearances. He’s struggled with injuries late in the season.
Sounds like freshman wrestling 25 yr olds.
This isn’t 1990 anymore. We have high school kids beating national champions and it’s not surprising anymore. Cody is 20? Maybe 21? Someone with facts can confirm. These kids are coming in ready to go, freshman excuses don’t fly anymore. They’ve, and especially Cody, been wrestling the best of the best traveling the county and going to USA team camps for 10 years
Hey, at least we're not talking about the other CC....Caitlin Clark.......
Yes, I am the one making the terrible correlation…says the person downplaying a true freshman without much folk experience for not beating every experienced guy he wrestled and having a bad weekend at NCAAs.
We also forget he missed a few weeks in the season with injury.
Did he have a bad loss all season? The answer is no. Don’t understand the Kysen comparison even one bit to be honest.
What do I ask Dresser next week when he is in Algona. First I’m going to ask why doesn’t he have his hair dyed yet.
I think it's worth noting that the only guys Askey lost to last season were Robb, Shapiro, Andoian, Lewan, and Scott.
Overall, Chittum is the better wrestler, but Chittum seemed caught off guard that he couldn't bully around a super-bulked Askey and didn't adjust his game plan.
Was I disappointed in Chittum's season, for sure, but he'll be fine and come back a more refined spitfire for next season. I'm positive he was more disappointed than any of us.

Chittum is the guy we want and need at 57. Any question to the contrary is silly. Period

I did not have Chittum discourse on my bingo card for the forums today!
Nope has nothing to do with you. Just my message to us ISU fans that we should be excited for Chittum's future
You never know who's gonna get pissed off and about what around here.
I wasn’t trying to drag Kysen down. I was just saying that the main reason he hasn’t really been able to fix his weaknesses over his four years here appears to be lifestyle choices. I don’t think that’s really out of line to say when it’s pretty much what KD has alluded to about Kysen, and that some of these off the mat problems are public knowledge. There’s no indications that Chittum has these problems, and having just finished his first year after adjusting back to folkstyle, I think it’s fair to have more faith in Cody working out these kinks. That’s all I’m saying, I don’t want to come off like I’m out to get Kysen here. He has shown promising stretches and I hope he can keep growing into who he’s capable of being.
For fuxsake, I knew this was coming. Jax and Bo and the four-timers are outliers. Anybody can find a couple data points to prove a point. And, showing up to one tournament and beating a top level guy in freestyle is a different beast than wrestling an entire collegiate folkstyle season. It's like you dickwads are looking for reason to say he sucks.
Is NIL Forcing College Wrestling Into A New Era? - FloWrestling
Parker Keckeisen is loyal to Northern Iowa, but former Central Michigan coach Tom Borrelli predicts the decision will get harder in the next five years.
I love everyone acting like this is a new problem. There has always been the haves and have nots. 10 years ago, it was scholarships (how many d1 wrestling schools even have a full 9.9?), facilities, RTCs, coaches salaries, etc. Now it’s money going directly to the athletes, but the economic inequality has always been a factor.Is NIL Forcing College Wrestling Into A New Era? - FloWrestling

What’s new about Iowa, PSU, TOSU having the most money and getting the best wrestling teams? Nothing.
It's not that it new by any stretch of the imagination and yes I do think student athletes should be compensated above the scholarship they receive if they are fortunate enough to secure one
but not to the insanity in dollars we are witnessing thanks to the unregulated and severely squeed NIL landscape
