    Is Iowa wrestling not recruiting PA wrestlers?

    Forrest is going to OK State. He has a relationship with the staff and trains there often. His mom loves the school and you always listen to the mom. If you search back 7-8 years on here I was the first one to tell you that Sasso would end up at tOSU after talking with his mom and hear her gush...

    Official Portal Watch

    Askey is probably a graduate transfer, so not really the same things. He also got teched a couple of times by Shapiro and got dominated a couple of times by Ed Scott, so not sure the win over a true freshman in the opening round of his first NCAAs should be the sole basis for recruiting a guy...

    Round 2 Scouting - Crookham

    Nagao isn't beating him either. I am worried about the consolation bracket in his case.

    Jax Forrest upset in PIAA Regional final

    You guys are well-practiced in the arts of mental gymnastics. Not unexpected, given the Ferrari and Teske seeding threads. "No, he's headed to the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championship." LOL, what a response!

    Alex and Aaron Meyer

    Although you referred to the "rest of the US as far as you know" in your retort. Are you claiming residence in 49 states? Impressive.

    Jax Forrest upset in PIAA Regional final

    Not as impressive when you consider that no PA wrestler has ever won State.

    I'm not making fun of Iowa wrestling with my post. It was a sarcastic post aimed the ask posed to the "insider" who's track record of Iowa recruiting "hints" is about as good as mine a 1000 miles away. Not denying he has some ties, but he could make latrine duties sound like a career...

    State College Booing Spencer pre-match showed a total lack of class!

    I was there as well. The place was thunderous with its applause for AD, I've never heard it so loud. Rightfully so, because of the points mentioned above. There was, however, booing of Spencer. This only occurred in the 3rd period when Spencer was stalling his a** off both in wrestling action...

    Weren't Brady Benham and Kael Voinovich fun enough for you? Henckel's sister is still out there as well.

    Rutgers wrestling is dead

    It doesn't look like he wasted ANY time at PSU. The last couple of years he was a tough wrestler who wrestled to the level of a borderline NQ. Now he's beating AAs and giving a good account of himself when wrestling SR level national freestyle events. When he graduates he'll have earned his...

    The coin toss?

    So your position is that you want to take away a very slight advantage that is given to the wrestler who wins the toss and give a very slight advantage to the wrestler who loses the toss? And you create a topic devoted to discussion of this? Okay, now I understand your body of posting work...

    Day 1 of recruiting for Anthony Knox

    The same teenager posted "F* Penn State" on social media (it was subsequently removed), yet seemed pretty impressed by Cael's call. Teenagers are pretty fickle. Also, I can't believe Brands is paying too much attention to social media given some of this off-season's recruiting pushes.

    Actually, the word I was searching for - and used - was hypothetical/hypothetically. If the matchups I detailed never came to pass, then hypothetically those teams or individuals could have won them, just like Spencer could have won Olympic Gold in 2020 although he was a far less prohibitive...

    CP Defending SLee

    But yet you felt the need to include "breezing through NCAAs" and Olympic Gold in your peaking statement.

    CP Defending SLee

    That's certainly possible, but it also didn't happen. So, it your position is that his hypothetical peak should be considered. Hypothetically, the Colts beat the Jets, Gable beat Owings, Tyson beat Douglas the Pats beat the Giants, Karelin beat Gardner, Burroughs beats Bekzod for God's sake...

    CP Defending SLee

    Agree, but when would you say was Spencer's peak? He had one undefeated, NCAA championship season in his career - 2021, when he went 12-0 beating Brandon Courtney in the finals. That's not a strong case compared to many others. Personally, I think his peak was probably earlier, but in his first...

    Chittum to ISU

    This is the most oft-used (certainly not just at Iowa, check any recruiting board of any team) and lame recruiting loss excuse ever penned. Never mind that MANY times when students are making their college decisions, they lean on the advice of the people they are closest to and trust the most -...
