Iowa continues to crush the recruiting game as of late...
Schriever boys and Ybarra all 3 committed today...

Man, a couple of kids there that we were after on some level. I can't call it a "loss" as there are other talented kids out there but I think it goes to show how big of a challenge we have to get back to respectability.
BTW, who was it that insisted earlier this spring that Iowa was a dying program and on the way down?

I love Reeves and Anderson. We need Ridge Lovett to keep pace and continue to build depth at the lower weights. Almost all top 2019 recruits are locked up already. Jace Luchau and/or Turley would be huge too. Jace fills a bigger need.
Has Jace ever visited Iowa State? I was under the impression that he would be Carr's weight and not a high priority. Not sure on the plan for Carr; I kind of assumed he will stay at 157 for a while and was told 165 is a priority weight
Which of those we were after? The schrievers were a lock to Iowa. There was never any doubt there. It's like saying I was after Cindy Crawford in college. Wasn't going to happen, I could take a flier but there was 0 chance.
What is considered respectability to you is the key component to that statement I guess? The team should be much improved this year and it is trending in the right direction. Respectability for me would be top 20 this year and continued improvement in the coming years.
It might not have been the exact word I should have used, to be honest. Maybe I should have said prominence.
We made a hard run at him and developed strong ties. Not saying you're wrong but a serius effort was being made which was made which was a element of my point.
Let’s just say some people have been known to talk to competitors to get better deals elsewhere. I have extremely good sources here. At least we maybe tied up more of Iowa funds to make it possible to offer more to a more realistic option.
I like the 125 lb we got better anyways..

Having been around many of these kids over the last 12-13 years, I will agree with you.
No. I know there has been interest there from Jace, but the money isn't there to get him here it sounds like. They could be interchangeable at 57/65, I just don't think it's going to happen.
Agree. I think they would like him, but just other priorities are higher right now
Probably. We are doing just fine I think. Was just noting that we can have a stud recruit on campus consistently for visits and practices that include our coaches but there's a huge draw to the east and seemingly on the snap of a finger a decision is made, that's tough to overcome. It's one of the challenges for sure and it's on display here.
It will be kind of cool to see in a couple of years how the Iowa boys progress and battle each other. Thomsen (Nebraska), Reeves (ISU), Teske (PSU), Schriever (Iowa). I like our chances
I think Schriever and Thomsen will have the most successful careers of 4 mentioned above. Reeves will be very solid but I don’t expect much more than him being a round of 12 guy if we are lucky. As far as Teske goes I think he will have a good career at Grandview.
