After 197 I'd be curious on the staffs opinion on biggest need. 84 do we feel good rolling with naak or bartelt? 65 euton and riggins? 25 meza making it or Castillo a go immediately? 33 if frosty can't do another year. Hard to rank those from my perspective. Maybe just best available regardless of weight.

He’s right way more than he isn’t.
On numbers? Hard to say, nobody comes out publicly and says how much they made/are making. Or how that money is being paid and what stipulations must be met. So can't really say he's right more than he isn't because nobody can prove otherwise. These contracts, or lack thereof, aren't public.

He also famously deletes posts when he’s wrong.

He’s a treat. He pisses off Iowa fans so that alone makes him worthwhile.

Edit: I also don’t doubt the 300K number for the very reasons you stated. These are the waters we are swimming in, like it or not.

The thing we don't know is in the details. Is it $300,000 this year or $300,000 over the course of their eligibility? Don't both have 2 years left?

And yet nothing will happen. So portal rules are a waste of time

Nothing will happen as it isn’t against the rules. Boosters are allowed to contact wrestlers that aren’t in the portal.

If you don’t think we’re doing this, you’re kidding yourself.
