I believe Teske to be a lock for Iowa now. He wasn't before. I really like the kid and will be easy to root for and he has improved drastically in the national scene this past season, but lets all be real honest here. This is why we are perpetually sitting at 4th in team standing and PSU is #1.
Teasdale will be a Champ if not runner up to Fix at 133 in a few years. Teasdale will also Tech his way into the semis at nationals. Meanwhile Teske will be very good but likely a 4th place ceiling with maybe two majors.
Repeat this for 10 weights and this is the 30 point gap at nationals.
Sad thing is I believe Brands actually gets this now, but aint anything he can do. Its not like Morningstar isn't trying to land the top P4P kids. The reality is Iowa high school kids is not enough. PA high school kids are just insanely talented right now. They get 5 Cory Clark talents to our 1.
We can have an elite match their elite but when we look at the instate recruits next in line from say 3-15th. They have Kemerer, Mitchell Port types all over the place and we have guys heading to Wartburg and Grand View.
Fix has stated numerous times he's wrestling 125 in college.
