Early to ODU

Hopefully he has grown up and can take advantage of another opportunity. Speaking of transfers, our there any stud 125 and 197 grad transfers available for next year?

Thought Laux was gonna be our guy at 25. Looks like Bowman at 97 next year and Holloway 285 again til. Stoll is back. Whenever that may be. Unless they have Costello go as a TF but I doubt that.
 
This is an interesting plot. Wasn't ODU where Jack Bass went who was supplying the pills?

I don't know if Laux can still make 125. I was thinking more in the lines of competing for a title next year. We have 4 guys which should score around 80 points. The other 6 weights need to score at least 30. One top 4 type transfer would really put us in the hunt.

I like the way you think, champ. Many of us had mentally thrown in the towel for next year. Would be ironic if next year turned out to be the year the Hawks got back on top, given many of our expectations.
 
I see Papa Stroker recently followed Martin. But isn't class started everywhere a week or more ago

Rough road ahead fellas. This board might completely melt down next year. We will have the obvious studs vying for titles (Sorensen, Kemmerer etc), but some serious holes at other weights. Our collective patience will be tested. Ah and then the 2018-19 season. Let the good times roll boys!

I think we'll see a lot of football fans in here asking what's up but the wrestling fans will know.
 
I did. I thought JRob got a raw deal. Early was one of the guilty. I hope he left because there were consequences.
Sounds to me like the wrestlers/violators had no respect for the coaching staff. And you'll NEVER convince me the coaches didn't have some idea of what was going on long before the shit hit the fan.

This is my reasoning why Eggum has no chance at the permanent gig. The new AD knew he couldn't axe the entire staff before the season, so JRob was the first one to go. It isn't helping that this attrition has occurred during the season. Add in the fact that the team is severely under performing right now and likely only has 2 AAs and the outcome seems obvious to me.

So Eggum to Iowa State and K.J. to Minnesota it is!

I just LOVE reading both forums and the continued hatred for the Hawks. Pretty much any objective wrestling fan in the world realizes Terry Brands is likely one of the best potential head coaches in the country... if he ever indicated a desire to lead a program himself.
Yet reading both forums... the hatred and envy of the Hawks forces both fan bases to continually degrade and criticize Terry(we would never want that guy running our program).
To me... it's their loss, if that's really the way they feel.
As both schools approach a head coaching hire... Iowa fans continue to appreciate the great combination we have. ISU and Minnesota are seeking relevance and stability. Deep down both schools would kill to be in Iowa's shoes.

I rather K.J. to PSU and Eggum to OSU.

ISU or MN would be exceedingly fortunate to have Terry heading up their programs. They may not admit it, but they know it. Not that I'm suggesting he should go anywhere. . . .

If there is such talk, it's because they know it will never happen. Terry would not go to a B1G school. In fact, I think had he really wanted it, he could be in C. Springs right now.

Your take is wrong, but u don't care. You said it yourself that nothing will convince you otherwise.

Severely underperforming? What were your expectations for the Gophers this season? Obviously a lot higher than mine.

Terry- I don't want him as our head coach. I say that fully understanding he is a great coach. Also understanding it would never happen. Terry has a pretty good gig going for himself.
