I just looked up the Missouri roster from a couple years ago it said 39 on Flo Big Board.
Flo site has Jaydin Clayton #35 for Missouri in Class of 2015.
Just looked up a couple big boards from the past and saw a few Iowa guys at that spot. Happel and Teske. Weird.
Changed his name to Jaydin Eireman January 2016.
Jesuroga verbaled before the D & P show.
Reminds me of Ramos who was at a game but he told Tom that while he likes football, he came there to talk turkey and committed back in the office during the game. Also, Mark Perry completely fell for the D&P show. Didn't really know much about Iowa, came there during wrestle offs, saw the crowd at wrestles offs and was impressed. Figured he was in the right place where people loved wrestling like he did. Was ready to be a Hawk at the end of the weekend.
Even if they can fake it in Ames it wouldn’t be anywhere close to Kinnick yesterday.
Sure it would/could be. They could put up a curtain at Jack Trice stadium and close off sections to make the place seem more crowded for the wrestling recruits.

Well a good share if not all are coming because they really want to be Hawks, not like we don't have something to offer when it comes to Wrestling.
18 kids attended, 2 committed. So not like everyone just went bonkers all of a sudden. You have to assume for the heavily recruited kids they've done a lot of homework already.
I'm not concerned in the least WHEN they committed, but I never trust the process until I see them enrolled and at practice.
I agree certainly, but any Male that wrestles in America, especially if they're recruitable for DI, sure as hell knows about Iowa Wrestling crowds and atmosphere. But it also helps to attend meaningful Football games as part of the College experience too.
If wrestling had 18 recruits there then there were 100+ recruits in attendance just between football and wrestling. Not too mention MBB and WBB. Big time.
Not following what that has to do with my post you quoted that was clearly only about Wrestling recruiting, but Thanks????
They aren't saying the big game got them to commit, they're saying the big game and awesome atmosphere helped. How many places could you go and get a celebration like that with 70k people cheering on the wrestlers at half time? Not many.
Just like how the crowd didn't win the game for the Hawks, but forcing 8 false starts because the linemen couldn't hear their quarterback clap sure helped.
There's a million great reasons to go wrestle for powerhouse iowa and these kids have obviously done their research and realize them. The game was just icing on the cake.
I was at the game.... that wasn’t a dog and pony show..... that was a younger less talented Iowa team beating a bunch of more talented players because they were tougher and played harder.....pretty much the way Iowa wrestles
they saw a crowd of Iowa fans all on their feet cheering for the wrestling team and roaring after their coaches speech
What’s wrong if a kid was impressed enough by the fans and their love for the athletes that compete at Iowa to make their decision afterwards? The kid in question is from Iowa right? Probably has been exposed to Iowa sports his whole life..... what am I missing?
That’s what recruiting is all about
