No. 4 overall junior Teasdale switches commitment from Iowa to Penn State
That has to hurt for IA. Hurts me to see yet another stud go to PSU.

Iowa loses top 2018 recruit
- Thread starter csteve
- Start date
I would rather have Cael win titles over Brands
It *could* have a negative effect on ISU too. With Teasdale out Iowa has more money to go after Teske, who I think Dresser really likes.
I think our lower weights are less of a need, especially If Verk stays committed. We will be needing heavier recruits now.
I agree. IMO we now have the best coach in the state and I predict that ISU becomes the hot new destination for Iowas top blue chippers.
This reads like some sort of coded language.
This is true, but I wouldn't discount Dresser wanting to make an instate splash on a kid that grew up a Hawkeye fan.
The epicenter of college wrestling (at least D1) has moved from Iowa and Oklahoma to Pennsylvania and Ohio in the last 10 years. Iowa used to be the place where studs would wait in line to take partial scholarships and lesser recruits would pass up scholarships elsewhere to wait 3 years to crack the lineup. Now, Penn State has top 10 overall recruits taking partials, and maybe waiting to crack the line up. It's tough to argue with 5 guys in a row winning titles at PSU and all talking about how much fun they're having.
In the recruiting and talent arms race, Penn State is stockpiling at a level above everyone else.

Has to be some pretty heady stuff for a HS kid to get blasted by a World and Olympic champion.
Or was Burroughs blasting PSU, who already had a stud at that weight in that class and just recruited over him?

You do realize this could come back to bite us in the ass too, right? **** rolls downhill, and right now...we are downhill.
It's mentioned above. When Iowa had Teasdale, they basically told Brody Teske they didn't have anymore money for that weight. Guess who did/does? We do.
Now that Teasdale is gone, Teske is a priority for Iowa, which could mean us losing out on a damn good kid...not just a wrestler. Teske is a leader, and I want him in Cardinal and Gold.
That got a lot tougher.
