B1G Championships-Session 2 : PBP Thread

Stoll down 2-0 in about 30 seconds. Fought off a takedown for a little bit, but couldn't get out of it.
 
For starters, Iowa HS wrestling needs to improve. When Brands, Teske and Thompsen are the best we're putting out, we're not helping the college recruiting. The only native Iowan stud on our roster is Sorensen.

Many of the past great Iowa programs like Eagle Grove, Osage, Lewis Central and Clear Lake are a shell of their former selves. We're not routinely putting out the Schawb, Ironside, T&T Brands, Whitmer type talent we used to. We should be able to depend on 3-4 homegrown studs in this lineup ever year.
X 1000 , but you'll get an argument from a few stubborn fans that Iowa HS wrestling hasn't fallen. Objective fans know it's fallen... real far, and it's going to be a challenge getting back to being a top 10 high school wrestling State.
 
It's not helping, that's for certain. That said, Iowa has the ability to recruit Nationally with anybody, and we haven't done that too well either.

I think we have....we will have Lee, Kemerer, Marinelli, Warner, Lugo, Stoll, Murin plus Cassioppi coming in. That's a lot of out of state money. All top 20 guys but you need some help locally. PSU and tOSU have that and can recruit nationally. Look at Michigan as well.
