Yes, very happy to see them in on east coasters Shapiro and Arnold. Arnold might be tough to pull away from Mizzou, though possible. He's J'Den Cox's cousin.
Thanks for the update, Todd. Any info on which 2022 recruits hosted Iowa coaches for in home visits?'23 Recruiting update
The Olympics had our attention recently and for good reason. What a great performance by Team USA. Now it is back to work on my true passion for this blog: Iowa Wrestling recruiting. August 1 was the official date when coaches could begin making in-house visits with the Recruiting Class of 2023...
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
Do you think just maybe my 2nd sentence makes it perfectly clear that I am not one of the many?
not sure to be honest. just know that mizzou is a long shot.
You can be super biased while still living in reality...they are not mutually exclusive!
Thanks Todd as always good stuff'23 Recruiting update

Not Naaktgeboren, at least not as a regular member. But he has rolled there before.
Sorry - Haven't been to this board in forever because Iowa didn't have any Olympians or Junior World participants.
It was great while it lasted.
Ah don't worry, it's football season now. And the SEC is about to overthrow the NCAA for good. I won't be around too often.
Yep - We just completed a $200 million remodel of the stadium and are about to flip a 5 Star WR. How's Iowa doing? Still dealing with Kevin Warren?
Has to be rough being the step child in that conference. Yeah it's cool Mizzou is in the best football conference, but you aren't even competitive. You are a team good teams get healthy against. But we all need something to beat our drums about, and being in the a really good conference is about all you can say, so congrats.
Money be green old man. When those $85 million TV checks start hitting the account in a few years while I get to travel to Austin for away games, I think Mizzou nation will be just fine.
Mizzou joined the SEC in 2011, results since then:
Great pitch for the program. We don't win much but we play Florida and Georgia every year.
The #'s I provided are according to Forbes. You listed top 30 Budget, that means you receive a lot of $ from your great conference (who beats the piss out of you), but you don't actually make a lot of $. Iowa does both.
Don’t be surprised when in the future the sec votes mizzou out lol. Especially if they ever put a cap on these conferences. Mizzou is a bottom level big12 team and that’s even without OU.
But they do have the St. Louis and arguably the KC market. I believe it was you who said that isn't as big of a deal anymore, but I am still standing on the ground that says it is. It's not about competitive athletics, you can only have so many winning teams in a conference. The mid's (like Mizzou was supposed to be) and the bottom feeders serve their purpose.
