Both Anthony Ferrari and Albert J Ferrari have University of Iowa email addresses. Kadyn Proctor does as well.

Your welcome. Glad i could help. I tried to type slow and not use big words
I strongly disagree. They most certainly would be the front runners next year with all Ferraris in the line up
Front runners for what? You are high if you think adding those 3 makes us front runners next year. Do you realize Brooks and Truax are the only two PSU guys who have to be done after this year? Guys we have who could realistically project as meaningful AA point scorers are Drake, Calliendo, Arnold and AJ. Angelo is probably going to be too small to go 184 next year and has yet to wrestle a college match.
I definitely do not think the ship has sailed. If it has - why is he hanging in Iowa City and coming to meets….
Angelo has a great frame and knows how to gain weight. He will get to 200+ pounds during the offseason.
Not sure he will get that big. But hitting 200 is the goal no doubt. I believe he was 185-188 last summer
He won't have any problem getting that big. Another 10-15 lbs is easy for someone that age that's filling out. He has a great frame, work ethic, and know how to put on the pounds. Now my information is 3 weeks old so things could always change.
Yeah, that seemed like an odd view.
Glazier is done after this year and I would bet Kueter will be a full 240 by this time next year.
Think Kennedy too small for 184, Angelo probably is also unless he hits growth spurt. Zach cutting to 184 and AJ at 197 would be ideal, but I know Angelo doesn’t want to redshirt. Maybe he needs to find a way to wrestle a few decent college 184 this year to see how he stacks up. He would be better at 174, but obviously Gabe has that locked up.
That’s what I was thinking. If not, then nevermind what I said about 197/285.
Waiting for Spooner in 3-2-1.......
I watched it with my own two eyes and it was a sh!t show!!! Don't talk to me about social media and virtue signaling making it out to be more than it was.
If Angelo wants to go 174 I definitely don't assume Gabe has it locked up. It seems that way now, but Angelo is number one for a reason and they could both be top 5 guys from the get go.
Gabe has the build and strength to hang at 184, he’s just so short. I think his dad said he still hasn’t done a lot of heavy lifting, mostly calestenics, so the potential to add even more explosive power in the off season is there. Just need to find a few inches of height and reach. I do think Angelo will grow into 184, but even he said he was going 174 unless he ends up at Iowa, who want him at 184. I don’t think PK will be that effective sucking down to 157, or he would have done it last year with how load 165 was. It would be much easier to beat out Ferrari, who next year will have been away from competition for 2 1/2 years, and never trained consistently in a college room. On the other hand, I think 157 is his ideal weight, and will look better than he does sucked down to 149. Good problems for the team to have, PSU has these issues up and down the lineup.
Why not bring in some top talent instead of patching holes?
We need to keep recruiting hammers. Blaze should be target #1 now. If AJ and/or Anthony keep their nose clean until next November, let them loose on the mat. If not, let them loose. I have serious doubts that they make it onto the team and I definitely wouldn't bank on it recruiting wise. Iowa needs to bring in at least 3 blue chip recruits every class or we are never catching top dog anytime soon. Fill in flops or injuries with transfers, not recruiting deficiencies. The writing is on the wall. Do it or continue to fall farther behind is Iowa/TnT's options.
I was wondering about this. Either cutting to 157 is probably not ideal, but of the 2, is one more realistic than the other?
One is going to have to cut 157. If neither can PK will be odd man out. Sucks, but it is a reality and a good problem as a team, just not so much individually.
I say this as someone with 0 inside information and no idea how plausible either scenario is.
I spoke with Angelo at the SS. His plan was to get over 200 pounds during the off season. He's about as tall as AJ. He already looks bigger than the Bull. He's only 17 or 18 years old so putting on that weight as he naturally fills out won't be an issue. He also has the genetics and knowledge to put on muscle the correct way. Angelo being big enough for 184 is low on the concern list for next year.
Cobe did cert at 157 this year. Also Anthony is a 157 as well .
Colby is fun to watch, but Anthony at his more ideal weight and actually practicing with a college team will give him the edge to score more points at nationals.
I don't follow wrestling as much as others on this site, but I've watched every Iowa match the last few years and know all the major players in college wrestling. So, can Caliendo win a natty? He has looked so damn impressive lately.
Hard to overlook Mesenbrink as well, his pace and offense is next level. He very well could be a finalist if he’s on the opposite side of KOT.
