Block is a hawk

And so it continues.
What a week.
Coinciding with the resurgence of Iowa high school wrestling is a very good sign going forward. It's been a VERY long time(Cory Clark years) since the State had so many national level recruits.
Good times ahead.
Not to derail this thread, but I keep thinking Voelker could be next, even though he's a pretty good football player. If he decides he's 100% wrestling in college, and concentrates on that, I think he's got potential. JMO

Congrats and Welcome Ryder Block...i can ONLY IMAGINE the monikers and nicknames that will be used to tell success stories about this young man !! i understand he comes from a very solid wrestling family...thereby making him a "Chip" off the Old Block..... sorry i just had to do it..........................
Tremendous up side with Block for what I can see, Loading up with some major local talent! got to love it.

If this was an Air Force a call sign nomination party, “Cock” or "Rooster" would have to be in there somewhere. Here is a gif of one pushing the pace and forcing his opponent out of bounds.

Secret commit? TnT just want KD to spend resources to recruit them so they can announce at a later date.
I bet TnT just love kicking the Clones when they're down!
State title as a freshman, lost to Ayala in the finals last year after beating him during the season. Top 8 at the national tourneys he has entered (Cadet trials etc). Could be a kid that grows a bit. After watching a crapload of Sebolt kids this past spring and summer, I have came away impressed with their sheer volume of attacks and aggression.
Brands noted on flo I think that what they want in recruits is talented kids who love to be on the mat whether they are in state or out of state. Said mistakes were made in the past getting more convenient recruits that on the surface were great recruits maybe didn't fit 100% into what they wanted.
These kids all seem to love being on the mat that we have been getting.
Block had a pretty good sophomore season for a kid jumping from 106 to 132.
A clean sweep has to include Garvin in my opinion. Now that would be a haul of hauls.
Excellent news! His trajectory is heading in the right direction. Him and Riggins are both going to continue to rise in the 2023 recruit rankings.
forgot about garvin but it seems like he isn’t interested in Iowa from the chatter I see… No idea though
You’re right. My bad. I still think he’ll finish the year top 20-25 for 2022.
Agree with what you said about Sebolt. I think what you can expect from their kids is physicality, aggressiveness, and crisp technique on the leg attacks.
The thing that excites me about Block is that he gets all that you’d expect from a Sebolt kid, but also has some funky counters and very good turns to add to it. That combination can be very scary.
That bird Desanto's cousin?If this was an Air Force a call sign nomination party, “Cock” or "Rooster" would have to be in there somewhere. Here is a gif of one pushing the pace and forcing his opponent out of bounds.
If the Hawks get Hagerty then they'll have the top 4 in state kids in the 2023 class. And all of them can do some major damage at the D1 level. I also think Gable Porter has huge upside but there is a logjam at 125-141. Gable is a gamer like Trever Anderson but much better offense and much better national results. Block is a solid get. Dudes like 5-11" now. He could be a 149 or 157 if and when he thickens up. Great offense and a motor and super bendy. Love how T & T hitched their wagon to the SWA. Ride or die!
