[24 so far]

Welcome aboard young man. Congrats to Coach Phil and Family. Hope your Iowa experience is a great one.

Go Hawks!

 

[jrod65]

But whatever he picks, as long as I'm still allowed, I'll continue to be a part of this group. You people have kinda grown on me.

Congrats!

 

[HawkFan1986]

[Hawkeye4Life78]

The 2023 class is lights out already!!

 

[ao_coachphil]

Congrats!

Come on man! Gotta give my poker hand a little credit........ So excited that my kid has been welcomed the way he has.

 

[MALOS]

Love this kid, his attitude and his family. It’s recruits like this that make me proud to be a HAWKEYE.

 

[PinDoxRico]

Congrats!

This is funny as hell. I thought for sure he was going to the nervous hospital with Carl because of that post he wrote! 😆

Wish he was coming to Mizzou but I’ll be rooting for him at Iowa!

 

[HawkFan1986]

Haha.

 

[PinDoxRico]

Isn’t there some sort of connection between J’Den Cox (Arnold’s cousin) and The Hawkeyes? Like didn’t he practice here a bit?

Man, it’s nice to tap into that pipeline… and his dad seems to be awesome as a poster as well! Cool stuff.

 

[Grip220]

You guys ok if I hang out here for awhile??

Outstanding, welcome aboard. Looking forward to your son getting to the next level as a Hawk.

 

[eb05]

That is a big recruit. Let’s go hawks!

 

[IAChief32]

Welcome aboard Arnolds!!

 

[rcamp67]

This is great news! I was pretty certain he was either going to be my new favorite wrestler or my favorite non Hawkeye. Very happy it’s the former. Kid just seems to have his priorities in order. Well done coach Phil!

Yea, he was going to take Cam Caffey's place as an honorary Hawk if he didn't come here.

Cam still in the running for best hair though!

Still waiting for that dang smiley face

ALL the Hawkeye fans on here helped solidify our decision. I told my son about reading a post a few months ago on here regarding my son being a "cultural" fit for the Iowa program. Son guy didn't our right say it, but those that read it knew EXACTLY what he was implying. So I didn't respond...... I waited. What were the REAL Hawkeye fans going to say to this guy?

Your response was exactly what I knew in my heart it would be. After reading a few of your responses, I actually felt bad for the guy. You guys brutalized him. I told Gabe that. His response, "Did you expect anything else? They know I love country music"......

Go HAWKS!!

 

[hawkeyecrazy]

What a great get, I can't wait to see Gabe 2.0. Go Hawks!

Your son will bask in the glory that CHA will bring him.

You deserve it. ;-)

Just for the record. Opinion of you would have been no different no matter the decision. First class all the way.

 

[Boomhawk52]

don’t read too much into this but I just went from six to midnight

 

[Gobblin]

Come on man! Gotta give my poker hand a little credit........ So excited that my kid has been welcomed the way he has.

FWIW, I was ready to push all my chips in against you a couple months ago.

A very sincere congrats to Gabe, AND welcome to the Hawkeye family!

 

[1stplacehawk]

Awesome! Big welcome to Gabe! Sky is the limit!

It’s good that even though you’re relatively new on here you saw through the BS that is trolls and fake Iowa fans and saw the real fans on here. Hopefully you get to meet some of us when you come watch Gabe wrestle.
