I don't fell like going into a lengthy response, but anytime you get a ranked recruit at a need weight it is a pretty good get. Flo has him around #80 in their top 100, so he isn't a blue chipper but is certainly well thought of.don't know much about him. why do you guys think he's a good get?
only pursued by Indiana and UNI

He was pursued by many,many programs. He narrowed his considerations to Iowa/Uni/Indiana
I don't know if he's the 2nd coming of Lee Fullhart, but at least he looks the part, 6'2" and built, in-state kid, 3x Finalist 2x Champ, All-State Linebacker, need weight. What's not to like I guess. Looks like a damn good pickup to me.Don't know much about the kid but enough of you are excited that its good enough for me. Delzell, hope you are right about his attitude.
Solid pick up this late in the game. He reminds of Ethan Lofthouse a bit though guys. REALLY good on top, pretty good on his feet but not so good on bottom. He is a great athlete with a lot of upside so I'm hoping for the best out of him. He did not cost all that much either. Glad he is a Hawk and looking forward to watching him develop over the years.
Ethen had some skills to be sure, he just didn't put them on display near often enough.Nothing wrong being compared to EL, wrestling or athletic wise. EL's issue was pulling the trigger not a shortcoming of his wrestling or athletic ability. Just my opinion though.
Sounds like a perfect fit to me. If what everyone's saying about some conditioning issues with lots of ability and desire, then Brands and Co. should bring out the best in him. Did I miss who is replacing Uncle Luke as the strength and conditioning coach? Seems like that decision could really help Holloway reach his potential. This years recruiting class is shaping up pretty well. A couple top tier studs in Kemmerer, Turk and Holloway and some others that worst case scenario create a ton of depth in the room.
2016/2017 way to early lineup:
125- Thomas Gilman Sr
133- Cory Clark Sr
141-Vince Turk RsFr
149- Brandon Sorensen Jr
157-Michael Kemmerer RsFr
165-Joey Gunther RsFr/ Burke Paddock-So
174-Alex Meyer-Sr
184-Sammy Brooks-Sr
197-Steven Holloway-RsFr
Hwt-Aaron Bradley/Sam Stoll So
Looks like a team that could make some noise at the National Tourney.
Guys like Turk and Holloway are good addition and I'm pleased to have them as Hawkeyes but putting them in the same breath with Kemerer as a "top tier" recruits misses the mark considerably.
While they may not be top tier (top 10-20) its not missing the mark considerably. Holloway wrestled close matches with Stevenson and Keegan Moore, and who knows with being in top shape could of been different. Holloway didnt have a lot of competition in Iowa so i think once he gets in the room people may be surprised how good he may become. Also, obviously I'm biased but watch out for Erickson as well, very talented and hard worker.Guys like Turk and Holloway are good addition and I'm pleased to have them as Hawkeyes but putting them in the same breath with Kemerer as a "top tier" recruits misses the mark considerably.
I'm happy with these recruits. IMO, we've learned a little from Missiori - that is, get as many athletes as possible. If one of these guys come through for us they're gonna come through in a big way. In addition, these strong athletic kids can better withstand the wear and tear of five years of D1 wrestling.
Tom and Terry have their eyes wide open and are continually making corrections and upgrades to the program. Turk, Moody, and Holloway aren't accidents. IMO our coaches have shifted course and I like the future.
