THIS should let all of those wondering where Gabe gets his candor and upfront nature know EXACTLY where it comes from. Thank you for perspective and for confirming the true recruiting story not the crap all of the trolls post here as Gospel.

I'm not claiming that Bob isn't wealthy. But there's levels of wealth. Billionaire is a different tier. OKST's primary donor is certifiably a billionaire and is on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans. Is Bob a billionaire?

Funny this was actually asked. First you must understand that prior to us getting here, my wife was the mom the knew NOTHING about the sport. I did this intentionally because she knew how involved my entire family was with the sport and called us all lunatics because of it. But here's what's funny: I can't tell you how many times after a visit or a call from a coach that she asked me, "why does everyone hate Iowa so much"? I tried to get her to understand that for decades, Iowa has always been the bad guys, the rough ones, see the black singlet, fear the black singlet. Once she got to know the program personally, she took it to a whole different level. My wife, the soft spoken, never yell, stay quiet fan is like that no more. I can't let her see most of the crap on this forum because a lot of you would be cussed out, and she'd start looking to key your car. To her, the coaching staff is Family. ALL of them. And she will defend this program and those men to the very end. I can't tell you how many times we were told that my kid wouldn't fit in here by coaches, other program supporters, wrestlers, and so on. Heck, there were a few of you that may have mentioned the same thing during the recruitment process. Gabe knew he fit here, otherwise he'd be somewhere else.
I still get messages from other program supporters wondering if Gabe would be interested in leaving. I've found, especially now that it's a dog-eat-dog world. Loyalty, it seems is sold to the highest bidder, and that's sad for these kids, even sadder for the sport. But that's just where we are. After being here for almost two years now, knowing what I know, seeing what I've seen, my only regret is not moving here a year earlier than we did.
So yes, the negative recruiting is out there. It's a real thing, and it's probably more rampant that what I know from experience it to be. But I will share this: The entire time this staff was recruiting my son, NEVER did they speak badly about any program.
So that's all the insight you're getting from me for awhile. I'm going back to my voyeur status of watching and laughing about some of the stuff I read on here. I truly believe a few on here missed their true calling of being a stand up comic, or perhaps one of those backyard party clowns we all love so much. But then again, being on here make me realize that I may have missed my true calling of just being a fulltime jerk.....
I’m guessing, conservatively, he has rental revenues of between $636,000,000 and 750,000,000 per year on those 53,000 rental properties.I'm not claiming that Bob isn't wealthy.

You have NO idea how badly I wish my son would have taken more after his mother in this area. Like me, he has no filter, speaks his mind, whether you want to hear it or not, and truly believes he's the guy with the wallet that says, "bad MFer" on it. Sadly, he mis-places his wallet all the time, though.....
Oh shnap. Now I'm glad I didn't call you and put a permanent record of my number in your phone bill. LOL.
What does the Goschke family have? They made the biggest donation.
The industry average for net profits is ~22%. So on $700M in revenue, net profits may be on the order of about $150M annually. Not to my level but getting there.
Okst message boards will love your constant negativity. I hope you find something positive in that life of yours......
lmao... this is wrestling, It doesn't effect my personal life but i am also able to be honest and objective. Im sorry if the boot is stuck so far into your mouth that it blocks the stink that is coming from the fifth place finish this year. I am absolutely going to be cheering for OSU also this year though, they are actually trying to knock off PSU..
I agree it matters who we recruit. I said it before, my opinion would be that Iowa go ALL IN on Bo Bassett just like they did Spencer and re-open that pipeline with Young Guns. The success they had with Spencer, Kem Dawg, Mad Max, and Kaleb Young all from Young Guns could be repeated. You get Bassett and maybe the other Young Guns kids will follow him, such as Melvin Miller, Mario Hutcherson, the younger Bassett brother and more. Try to repeat what you did with Spencer and the crew.
You act like Gabe, Ben, and Angelo are not big recruits. You are a miserable old woman. We have been very successful in the portal and top 5 in the country in recruiting. Ryder is a big recruit as well in my opinion. If we don't lose Nate to the Navy it would have been an all-time recruiting class. Quit your bitchin. I'm with coach Phil. Iowa will a title in the next 4 years. I also think they will be a trophy team every year.
lol, you start looking at a dungeon as a nice dark quite place you can take a nap, since your wife won’t want to go in there. For me, it’s the basement, she doesn’t like doing the steps, unless she’s really pissed😊

This is great insight on Gabe Arnolds recruiting. Gabe will win a national title and that alone will help with recrutiing. Put Gabe, Drake, and Ben on the forefront to help recruit! All three are high character kids and true Hawks!Funny this was actually asked. First you must understand that prior to us getting here, my wife was the mom the knew NOTHING about the sport.

So you're telling us Gabe is Iowa's Samuel L. Jackson? It's all coming together...
LMAO, youre right. This POS coaching staff has made miserable. Not really. I do enjoy talking wrestling and complaining with other hawk fans... Maybe you are just a little bitch??? You can just block this little old lady if i am to mean for you.... pussy
you win grandma, keep bitch'in on!
Oh, you have NO idea...... If you recall his first interview, "Welcome to the Gabe Arnold show"? His mom NEVER uses curse words...... she did...... and of course, it was all my fault because he's "just like me". and I wouldn't have this problem if he would have been like me and wanted to be a nerd, sing in the church choir, and do normal extra curricular activities and.........
sorry...... I get a little triggered. I'm a work in progress and the Lord isn't through with me yet.

100% and the most influential person in those conversations would be Spencer. We need him to be more involved than just on the mat.
Too many kids and parents aren’t like Phil and Gabe, or Spencer and his parents. They like a good snake oil salesman to kiss their ass constantly and tell them lies they want to believe. Their style of recruitment may be out of style unfortunately. Ask Surriano if he was impressed with the way he was handled at PSU after signing with them, compared to all the smoke they blew up his ass while recruiting him. There is over salesmanship with many of these programs, then throw you under the bus when you get there if you not an immediate star. Extreme loyalty to recruits and coaches may be TnT’s downfall in today’s environment. You have to be willing to constantly be willing to shit on anyone to get ahead, like Cael has done. Us as fans I guess will get to attached to some wrestlers and coaches we like who aren’t panning out like they should have.
lol I watched that movie right after reading his comment about not bleeding. And it was mentioned several times that, “Lemon doesn’t bleed.” The character in question was a hit man who happened to be black. I was guessing Coach Phil had watched that movie on Netflix as well and was spoofing that scene. Lol
Wait! So now you’re calling me fat?? What is wrong with you people??? This is why I hate it here. Ya know, fat people have feelings too. I see the code words. Sour = sour grapes. Grapes are round. Phil is round, therefore I’m fat.
I swear sometimes reading this posts is like watching the matrix. I know what’s going on.
Everybody knows…..
Speaking of search committees, the firm used by OSU for the DT search was one owned and run by an IOWA alum with a recognizable last name. Great family.
Best post of the year. Pin it at the top. Anyone that knows Terry knows he's one good dude. I want to introduce myself next Wednesday morning May 15th if you will be at breakfast?
According to Pyles, OKST didn't reach out to DT. DT contacted them and told them he's interested. Is that not accurate?
