Iowa kids no longer have much room on the hawks roster, less and less on the cyclones roster, and some space on the UNI roster. I think it’s great for the state when they have other options and are getting looked at from programs outside our state. Had SDSU not come calling Sloan was going to end up at Coe. Great for the state of Iowa that kid ends up going D1.
I think now that tensions/emotions (about leaving the Big 12) have simmered down, it seems silly to not accept them as an affiliate. If we kicked them out permanently we'd still need to add another program to keep the AQ status.
The PAC12 must really suck if Koll is already considering leaving. Storniolo just makes too much sense at this point but Koll is really interesting.
supposedly the reason he left Cornell was because of the way Ivy League and Cornell handled Covid. Don’t imagine the socio-politics are much better in Palo Alto, although I don’t know how he wouldn’t know that before taking the job at Stanford
At this point, we have ALL the leverage. Kick them out for 3-5 years. Then see if they’ve got their sh*t together and let them back in ONLY if they play by our rules.
And any pigtail match they get we have the option to steal from them for the next 10 years.
Can Swiderski get on the phone with Davis and get him flipped. No sense sitting behind Nagao getting recruited over must suck
Would make sense if he is going to grad school, tbh
Didn’t know Michigan had such deep pockets but it appears they do
Mark Consuelos And Kelly Ripa’s son on the team helps.. I’m sure they’ve donated a pretty penny.

His dad taught and coached at Columbus. Maybe he is teaching at a different school? Does East have a wrestling team? Maybe he goes to Sebolt and TJ usually wants his better wrestlers to get out of 1A schools.
His dad is a study hall monitor at East now and, yes, East does have a wrestling program. It doesn't have anywhere near the quality in that room that Columbus does but he gets his work outside the school program obviously.
Columbus really built themselves up over the last few years. I remember my son wrestling in a tournament that WC was in about 6-7 years ago and WC was basically able to go home by the consolation quarterfinals in a 16 man bracket with only 10-11 in it because they were all knocked out by then.
