2023-2024 Recruits & Transfers
Plus they are getting paid. One used to be able to make a "get on with your life" argument for 6 year guys but now they have a chance to pay off student loans and/or give themselves a decent downpayment on a house. For those AA and above, the education is now the bonus. Truly elite wrestlers can... -

***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***
Hate the stalling...they should add the pushout. It did wonders for freestyle. I didn't see much of the match but it looked like Carr was shooting a bunch. One would think he would dominate but guys like that slow everything down (See Desanto vs Phillippi). -

***Big 12 Championship (Sat.-Sun.; Tulsa)***
Marinelli won ;) His wife’s job is safe for another few weeks. -

Cy-Hawk Dual
Already on it sir. I sent a stiffly worded email to Tom Brands pleading with him to get Terry and Desanto to use their nice words. I pointed out that that they needed to take a page from the Cyclone staff who were the very epitome of class and gentlemanly conduct. Also suggested creating a swear... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
So a few have been taking shots at how the Marinellis and Spencer came to Iowa. Moriah was here a year before AM. She was the lead student manager during her time here and also managed logistics for the HWC. She ran a tight ship. So much so that when Eustice announced he was stepping away (to... -

Lineup? Parker at 149?
As an opposing fan, a healthy Degan can be a nightmare matchup. -

2022 Recruits and their list of schools
Just because Riggins committed to Iowa doesn't mean Buf was off. Kids change their mind. -

I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Stanford but I think ISU is in the lead with him. -

Should Dekkers start against UNLV.
Dekkers came in during garbage time when the Hawks were playing their soft defense trying to chew up clock. I like Dekkers, wish him well since he is an Iowa kid, but I wouldn't give up on Purdy...tipped balls, right place, right time. I thought the first one was just an absolute killer because... -

Iowa HS State Wrestling Tournament
Jesse Ybarra. If things remain the same eligibility wise, likely to replace Lee at 125 after a RS this coming up year. He has won Fargo a few times and won his match at WNO at Carver. He could then move up to 133. As good or better recruit than Ayala. Schriever could move up. -

Iowa HS State Wrestling Tournament
Schrievers and Rathjen were the first commits to Iowa from Sebolt. Now Ayala. They have had one to tOSU, Minne and SDSU each. All four of the Iowa recruits grew up big fans of the Hawks. I don't think Sebolt is steering anybody...I think Iowa's success, being buddies with each other, and having... -

"His performance led to many programs pursuing his talents, but in the end Ayala narrowed his list from many down to Iowa, Iowa State, and Ohio State." -

Brody Teske enters transfer portal.
And this is why Iowa fell behind PSU and tOSU. We invested heavily when the market was down in 2010...a nice haul of top 50 recruits but none were 20+ point scorers at NCAAs that we needed. Between 2010-2014, we had one top ten p4p recruit (Mike Evans). I think PSU had something like nine... -

Brody Teske enters transfer portal.
It depends on your definition of "impact." In Carr's class? I guess you would mean somebody with finalist potential. ISU has nobody besides him. Potential impact? I still like Reeves to do something by the time he is a RS junior or senior. Maybe I am just partial to the kid's grit but he has... -

Class of 2021
Agreed. Iowa used to recruit en masse like this...spread out the money and go for development. It worked 2008-2010 but Cael flipped a switch and out recruits everybody. We had four years between top ten P4P guys and it hurt us. Took us until now (except for 2015) to be a legit contender and... -

2nd recruiting weekend vs Iowa & Game Day
This is a very good get. He got to the states last summer after he defected and was only able to wrestle one semester...won state, than Fargo. The rub on Cuban wrestlers is that although they are good on technique and dynamic, they sometimes lack the cardio. Well, since he will be here and in a... -

I was replying to Buf's depth chart statement and where Moody was on it.
