    Hawks line up next season

    We should note this "trip back" is him *allegedly* fleeing the state after assaulting and robbing his friend's father.

    What if the forum crowdfunded some sort of Tom Brands voice AI program we could use to trick recruits into thinking Tom bothered to call?

    Very nearly lost Gilman this way too.

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    Why do we think this? Every other recent #1 seed for the hawks lost (except one year for Spencer). He had a million close matches that year and was seconds away from losing in big tens. He had a prior loss to his likely quarterfinal opponent. You can't just add Lugo as a "likely champ" when...

    Having some personal experience with university administration, this tracks. some of the most backward-minded people I've ever dealt with are high-end university administrators.

    "We can't fire Tom because then we might lose Telford and Morningstar." That's a feature, not a bug lol

    This. This. This. I can predict with near 100% accuracy what every Iowa team will struggle with heading into each season and it's been that way for a decade. Less focus on PSU and final placements. More focus on the process. That's how the gap gets closed, if it's even possible. They had a...

    You can leave the service academies in your first two years with no penalty. After that, you have to pay back your tuition or enlist without graduating.

    His brother is on the team.

    Bono was on his way out at SDSU? Admin problems? Because he had a lot of success there and was considered a hot candidate when hired.

    There's a big misconception about Do Not Contact. It means teams can't reach out to him. It doesn't mean he can't talk to a ton of teams. He will, or already has, contact every team is interested and they can all recruit him. It doesn't mean that's he's 100% set on where he's going, even if he...

    This has long been the conspiracy, but never substantiated. Could it be true? Sure. But to me, it's just as likely that kids were willing to go to PSU for less because they believed it was the place that would help them win. Most of these kids' families spent thousands and thousands of dollars...

    Will either of them wrestle at NLWC? Nagao is an MMA/BJJ guy and I don't think Truax has extensive freestyle experience (and would be buried on the NLWC depth chart at his weight).

    I think this only a problem up until the moment it happens. There will be some who grumble and then 5 minutes later go "holy sh*t we got David Taylor." Excitement would be through the roof pretty quickly. This program is bigger than Tom Brands.

    This talk about him needing an experienced coach to hold his hand is so overblown. I am not worried about David Taylor handing the admin duties. The bar isn't exactly high here. He submits all 10 entries to Big Tens on time and he's gold.

    Well, we know which team is the biggest problem in this regard. Give Cael my regards when you ask him to chill out a bit for the good of the sport.

    I'm not sure how Siebrecht factors in here. There should be no situation next year where Caliendo isn't in the lineup. He was outstanding this year and PK/Siebrecht haven't done anything to make you try to force them into the lineup.

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    I get it, but it's not a tenable situation under Brands. I do think this might be a little overstated too. He already runs a large business. His wife runs another business. They own a farm with prize animals, which I think counts as a third business. I think DT could probably learn the admin...
