It doesn't come out until tomorrow don't know what time though. I got a pic with Angelo after the Iowa/Iowa State dual really awesome guy.
Angelo Ferrari interview
- Thread starter Jason.D.Brantley
- Start date
It doesn't really matter. He isn't that good anyway.
I didn't ask the question because of how good of a wrestler he is or isn’t. But on a personal note, given the issues he has been through. So you have no idea... ok.
I'm ashamed to say I haven't had time to follow wrestling yet. Didn't renew my season tickets. 
So, what's the scoop on him?
Has he or will we see him this year in a Hawkeye singlet? As in attached. Not sure how RS works anymore for wrestling.

Dominated in his dual opener against a tough ISU kid, he looks like the real deal. He’s has 3 more matches to use before pulling the RS, the big matches would be PSU vs Carter and OSU vs Plott so we’ll see if Brands uses him for one of those.I'm ashamed to say I haven't had time to follow wrestling yet.

I didn't know that. Star vs Angelo would be great. I hope Angelo goes to Southern Scuffle this year unattached.
There will be plenty of comp at the soldier salute if most of the teams send their starters.
Hope Minnesota and SDSU send starters that would be 2 top 10 wrestlers at 184. UNI sends wrestlers too, don’t think they send starters, but would be nice if they sent Keck.
Unless uni sends keck, which they won’t, he and Gabe will be on a collision coarse. He should redshirt no matter what, since the weight clears out next year.
#4 McEnelly (Minn), #6 Berge (SDSU) , #7 Allred (Nebraska), and #8 Hawks (Missouri) should all be there if teams send their starters.
Berge? Mcenelly? That’s two top 10 wrestlers right there. Also the Soldier Salute isn’t below Keck, they’ve sent him to smaller tournaments than this one.
Th
row in Gabe and Angelo and that is the toughest bracket ever at the SS.
Not saying it’s below him, he’s a humble guy. I just think they would want to limit his wear and tear since he has nothing to prove or gain really.
Actually he was around 12-14 pfp in his class, similar to Ludington, who we consider a blue chip. Looks like he is back in Dallas just training mma. Doubt he ever goes to college unless this mma thing goes sour and he realizes he may need an education. Still a mystery what happened here after he spent all summer and fall in school trying to catch up in school. Another question that has been ignored here and on Flo is, why didn’t AJ show up at Cliff Keen?
5 total dates for their true freshman season. If they wrestle first semester it must be attached. I believe.
Kennedy vs Brands and Arnold vs Ferrari at SS...winners man the weight rest of season.
Simple solution for this year.
Makes no sense to waste a year of eligibility for Arnold, and burn Angelo redshirt for him to maybe be mid to low AA, when he could be a favorite next year as a redshirt freshman. Gabe is too good to ride pine any year he is eligible.
I think the Southern Scuffle will have better competition. I think his best comp at Soldier Salute is Gabe and that's assuming Gabe don't compete for 74 there. Southern Scuffle is on Jan 4th and 5th so it could be possible to do both.
Does he have anybody left? They should work on getting healthy.
This is on the soldier salute website.
The tournament features two perennial BIG10 teams in the Minnesota Gophers and Iowa Hawkeyes. Navy, University of North Carolina, Wyoming and Bellarmine will all have their entire squad in attendance. Missouri, Iowa State, South Dakota State, UNI, Nebraska will all be represented as well.

Fun interview.
Has no interest in freestyle. Mentions losing in the last second on a cheap tilt from a headlock with no control. I can understand that.
His dream match is to wrestle Starocci. Sounds like there is a chance he gets to wrestle on the trip to Penn State. He mentions Rec Hall, but that would probably take place in Bryce.
I like his demeanor. Sounds like he can take it, because he will dish it out. He had fun with the interviewer with how he announced Iowa while teasing Penn State.
Sounds like a wonderful young man. Loves the pressure. Loves the Iowa system. Loves the Brands. Loves the spotlight. Wants to grow the sport.
Stay healthy, youngster.

I'm hoping Gabe goes 74 at the SS. Love what I saw out of PK so far and think 74 will come down to those two fellas.
Love that movie, Sett...and that scene was pretty fricking awesome as well. Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for his role; he killed it!
I watched a little bit of the interview and I really like the kid, I think he's gonna be a great wrestler for the Hawkeyes and he comes across really well. When the two fellows Wayne and Zach asked him about his brother in social media he handled the question very well.
The kid seems pretty grounded and has a great attitude and I guess we'll see how high your ceiling is now? He's a good kid.

Great interview! The interviewers were very fun, entertaining to watch and not cringy.
I am certainly pulling for him; however, we won't know much about his character until he loses a match. Everyone can be "a good kid" when things are going smoothly.
The only caveat being if Angelo smokes him and shows he is clearly, head and shoulders above Gabe. Now, I don't think that happens, but you just can't sit him in that case. But, a razor thin win due to familiarity in the room certainly wouldn't be enough to waste a year for Gabe when Angelo has a shirt available...
If Gabe and Angelo make the SS finals would they still wrestle? Flo said last week they don’t expect them to wrestle the match if they both make it.
