I would want no part if AJ. Seems like ok state got better as a team when he left. Maybe coach smith didn’t handle him right but seems like a cancer. Hope the AD holds her ground on him. The other brother should be judged on their own
I hope you are right, as I would love to be wrong on all 3. I fear however that their situation at Iowa isn’t going to end well.
I would hope there would be consequences for the staff if they insist on bringing in the criminals and they don’t pan out.
That wasn’t the question you add nothing. Like I said you me or anyone else may not like them but there is a possibility you f them being here. So you ruined a thread with a legitimate question. Kindly go away
I’m conflicted with their situation. On one hand, they are difficult to root for from a personality perspective. I recognize that they are polarizing however and bring a lot of eyes to the sport and ultimately the program. While I was disgusted and embarrassed by the Soldier Salute fiasco, folks that I know who aren’t wrestling fans, but know that I am a big Iowa fan, saw the middle finger salute on social media. It was amazing how many non wrestling fans started asking me about the program and how they could watch Ferrari wrestle. So while I m not a fan personally of the antics, it could potentially lead to more exposure for the program.
More exposure is a double edged sword, imo. Many people like to tune into a train wreck, eh? That doesn’t mean that event is good for the train.
Not wrong. I’m trying to be positive here dammit! Lol
Hoping for more clarification. But I’m happy to admit when I’m wrong, if that’s what you’re getting at.
i love these guys, i do not think any of them will be pissing on any graves
If Tom wants to stake his job on the Ferraris, that’s his decision to make. No one should act surprised if they burn the place to the ground though.
Metaphorically, as well as literally.

No news about those 3 is probably the best news for them. Head down, working hard will get them on the team. It’s clear they’re still around Iowa City and still involved in an unofficial capacity with the university and team.
If they do burn it to the ground, hopefully when they rebuild the wrestling room it will have windows or this place will become even more of a cesspool
And that’s where you veer into a ditch. They can do significant and lasting damage to your program.
Ok st is still picking up the pieces…
Hey stupid ****, dont you have any kids to stalk?
Seems as though elite recruits are not attracted to a Ferrari team. The middle one isn't good enough to make the line up on his best day. I predict he's going to be a problem. Obviously, the oldest and youngest are very good wrestlers. While I wasn't on board with bringing them in, now I feel like we're halfway through a tunnel of shit. Might as well keep going. We need to 2/3 of them to be 20+ point scorers.
One interesting thing I have noticed: When we were kicking the tires on PD3 we heard, "You need to trust Tom!" and, "If anyone can help him, it's Brands!"
Seems as though that narrative is over. The new narrative is, "Fvck it. Might as well try."

Correction: psu fans post they want the Iowa coach contracts extended indefinitely (sort of like Montell Marion's suspension).
That's my
on this matter.
BS. AJ has no business even being considered. His display at the Soldier salute sealed that.
I dont disagree totally you and you sound like a true Hawk fan so I will throw this out there to you other true Hawk fans that are against bringing in AJ.
IF…all parties involved, coaches, school, parents, teammates and alumni among everyone else is onboard with the decision to try and get this figured out for the benefit of all parties, they all believe this could work and we see him in a Hawkeye uniform in Carver, does Carver welcome him? Or do we start out with negativity and booing?
There is a chance ( because of what I have seen I would put it at 70%) that TnT could pull this off and make bringing him in a positive for everyone.
I don't know if Carver as a whole welcomes him (I'm sure overall, people will), but I personally will not support him in a Hawkeye singlet
What’s disappointing … is so many wrestling threads turning into “spats” between (using term loosely) “adults.”
Some, none, all - I’ll defer to the guys getting paid (coaches) to monitor the program and athletes.
Not exerting much mental energy
on what I can’t control.

Son of a bitch, ya beat me to it! Well played!
ah yes aj ferrari is the reason 99% of their guys didn’t improve at all over the last few years.
*sarcasm. Guess I should’ve put a 😉
I think it’s ridiculous to say the damage to the program would be significant and lasting. This is likely how it plays out imo, Ferraris behave and help the team bigly and TnT get some kudos OR they f up, get kicked off the team and TnT lose their jobs for bringing them in. If TnT are gone, whatever the Ferraris did wouldn’t mean anything to potential recruits, they would base their decision on the next coach(es)
This is kind of how I see it playing out too. It seems in today's era of sports, people have a pretty short memory and if the coach associated with whatever negative event occurs is let go, that absolves the program to some degree so the long term fallout may be minimized. I hope that doesn't unfold and do think if it is a train wreck that Brands could definitely be impacted. At this point in his tenure though, I think he's willing to take that gamble and recognizes the program needs an injection of some additional championship contending talent fast.
I certainly don't condone what the two older boys have done in the past, but at this point, I think it is likely going to move forward, so might as well approach it with as much optimism and support as the fanbase can muster. The program needs to keep growing the momentum and excitement, and say what you want about the Ferrari's, they certainly bring some energy and excitement and have always put in the hard work when training.
Bingo. And to that last point, if their hard work and training rubs off on some of the other guys i see that as a big positive, seems like maybe it already is with pictures of aj and kueter working out together. Hopefully some of the other guys character rubs off on them as well 😂🤞
Seriously. What are these parents thinking having their son learn the skills of wrestling from a true FR national champ. Especially after an accusation.
One interesting thing I have noticed. Desanto crushes your narrative.
They will just pray that their throat is big enough to swollow all the crow if these dudes don’t rape and pillage the whole time they are in Iowa. Anthony and AJ have spent a lot of time in Iowa city the past year, especially Anthony. If they were tearing up the town, I think we would have heard something. The AJ brief moment of WWE action at the SS is the worst thing that has happened. Our own beloved Caleb Rathjen has had more than one run in with the law in Iowa city, including DWI, and nobody gives a shit.
Yes, would be ideal to have a strength coach who values heavier weights over form. Bravo!
Did anything come from the alleged assault/theft incident in Florida earlier in the year for mids?
