I was wondering the same thing. I think one of them could be, and correct me if I’m wrong, is that though he’s technically from Iowa, he wrestled for Skutt Catholic High School in Omaha, Nebraska. I’m not sure what the second one would be for.
Drake Ayala?

Competed for Skutt Catholic in Omaha, but was from Council Bluffs, IA.
Stevo is an upstate NY product so Binghamton Cornell and NC State are probably the front runners
Speaking of Figueroa, why does he not wanna come here? He looks like the most impressive lightweight.
He can stretch his scholarship money much farther in state than out of state. Trust me my daughter originally committed to UIC and made the switch to UNI and she will basically go there for free. Granted she got a better offer, but in state was the huge difference.
Sometimes we forget that college is not just about sports and the main goal should be to get the degree in the field of study you want. Not sure what Drake is looking at majoring in, but that may have something to do with his lean as well. Kids change there minds so fast these days. He could be leaning OSU this week and Iowa a month later.

I’m guessing you have not stepped outside today.
Correct. Neither him or his brother have been too active this year. Doesnt sound like he's fully recovered
I believe it is cold in Ohio...I think Figs opened his recruiting back up and tOSU is in on him.
He can live and train in the new facility then walk through the tunnel for the duals. Doesn’t have to leave the buildings.
Good rumor on Drake and his choice. Coming from someone with no dog in the fight but covers wrestling so who knows. I just like a rumor that favors us (from a person that covers it) than hearing not Iowa. OSU pushing hard. ISU is a possibility (very, very low) as they have all the money and auto spot but not impressed at all about all the other recruits shunning them and something new, the “David Carr” treatment. I do think ISU will be in until the end for political reasons (like Teake and Rathjen did) but looks like Iowa or OSU.
Stretch your money as far as you like, but if the quality of instate recruit isn’t top shelf, we’ll be back to battling for second place in March.
But we do need to land Ayala, imo.

Dub - I totally agree. And he is surely a priority for Iowa. And I was very happy to hear someone who covers the sport likes our chances. I have some clue on the money but there are so many moving parts. I was quite surprised on the ISU feedback but maybe I shouldn’t as there seems to be a reason none of the blue chips are going there even with full ride and walking into starting.
That could change with one knock on the door. Yes....may I help you? Yeah...HI ! I'm Tom Brands and this is Ryan Morningstar could we speak to Stevo. Just saying. Yes I've been drinking
Steveo is a penn at kid. He’s a fanThat could change with one knock on the door. Yes....may I help you? Yeah...HI ! I'm Tom Brands and this is Ryan Morningstar could we speak to Stevo. Just saying. Yes I've been drinking
If Steveo doesn’t end up at penn at, I’d bet cornbell or Pinghumpton is a good bet...
