[GG121AND2]

I wish I knew. Bobby Douglas back?

 

[dtripp26]

?

More concerned about my favorite team getting back to the #1 spot. Let little brother take care of their own problems.

 

[crablegs1]

?

Probably around 80 points.

 

[bnicolls]

Probably around 80 points.

20 well placed hydrogen bombs

So, are you an Iowa or UNI fan? Lol

Signing a Gable Steveson type kid. With Carr,Gomez,and the transfer at 97,they ain't too far off. One Spencer Lee type kid would do it this year. U gotta win it all,with Bonus!

Can anybody translate this for me? Thanks in advance.

 

[Grip220]

Hey anyone know where we can pick up a Spencer Lee type kid and a few Gable types asking for a friend... and wait How about a Kyle Dake type for the middle also...just saying.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Time - probably 2-3 more years...

I ran it through my decoder ring. It translates as "I'm once again clueless."

It takes more than time. Kevin Jackson had time.

The cat is saying it will take a miracle.

 

[YoungGun07]

If Cael came back, they could get back in the top 5.

 

[MitchL]

Regarding the thread topic... about 65 Division 1 teams dropping their program.

 

[grapplefann]

If Cael came back, they might get back in the top 5.

FIFY

 

[grapplefann]

It will take Divine Intervention to get the Clones back to the top 5 in the next 3–4 years.

Apparently they are one uber blue chip away (at a weight other than 125 cause Lee and Rivera already penciled in the finals). They already have Carr, "Gomez" and Miklus. But they still won't beat Northwestern.

You're welcome.

I may speak a little Brands, but Cats is all Greek to me.

Is that ISU or North Korea?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Wrassler is taking a beating on this thread! I need a lifeline!

 

[KujawaFan]

Iowa, PSU, OSU, OSU, Michigan, South Dakota St, Wartburg, Grandview, UW-Whitewater, SE Polk, and Fort Dodge to get the death penalty or otherwise drop their programs along with about 3,000 other college and high school programs to suffer a similar fate. Then maybe a top 5 finish would be possible for ISU.

Maybe not in a bad way, you're starting to remind me of Jimmy from Seinfeld.

Jimmy's got some moves . . .

Jimmy down!!!

Cael Sander. . . Oh. Oops. Too soon?

Pass what your smoking to the rest of us.....is 50 more points ‘not too far off”?

 

[Birky]

Drop the “State.”

So two Spencer Lee types. Shouldn't be difficult.

Yep just 2 once in a generation type guys-boom ISU is back. Lol

A recruiting class half as good as Iowa’s!

Not sure a recruit committing to ISU means much. In the Foca circus, it appears he announced a commitment to ISU and perhaps used it to leverage a better offer from another program.

At least with all the problems continuing in Ames, you have maintained your sense of humor.

Thata boy...as I would say to my dog as I give him a snack!

BTW: I assume that cartoon represents Dresser throwing full ride offers to guys like Teske and Schriever ? Apparently no more vacancies at CRTC!

 

[KujawaFan]

I cannot get over how poorly ISU has recruited. Gomez was a Jackson recruit, Carr was a legacy and they also hired his Dad, and Miklus is a senior transfer. They are offering full rides with guaranteed starting spots and not only are they striking out but not even making a recruit's top 3-4 finalists. It is actually just sad and pathetic how far down they are with no real future in sight.

Not to defend ISU but I sense you might be leaving a few names out, including a big one, in an attempt to support your argument and do a wonderful MitchL impeession.

 

[KujawaFan]

No impression. If I left someone or multiple people out out it was not intentional. Don't need to shade or spin facts when it comes to ISU. Was it someone from UW-Whitewater or the local 7 Eleven?

The RTC landscape has changed recruiting almost overnight. Without a viable RTC, they will have a very difficult time landing top recruits. However, if they can develop what they do have, the changes will become apparent and they will be respectable and top ten again. Never underestimate the power of determination and hard work. Their staff will get it done or at least I have faith in them. Winning national titles - eh maybe not.

You left out Ryan Anderson who's #11 PFP in the 2019 class and Reeves who is #51 P4P.

There's only one of me. Since I no longer will bash the Gophers... I'm doubling my efforts @ ISU. It's a bit of a downer when they suck this bad, but I think the Iowa wannabees can crack the top 20 if everything goes right.

I just hope "tigerguy" doesn't run away with his tail between his legs like Buffy did.
