He also visited the Bills after winning the Olympics, as the Bills head coach is a former wrestler and brought in Gable for a motivational talk in mini camp. Nothing to see here.
Gabble Steveson to Iowa?
- Thread starter Bucky712
- Start date
You’re a fan of the status quo, imo, and do not want to wake up the sleeping giant. (Iowa)
I personally don’t think he or 99.9999% of other people can make an nfl team but the visit wasn’t exactly a motivational speech type deal.

Is Steveson the next great wrestler to make the transition to football?
While this is true, every school has rich alumni. Now a small school CAN compete whereas they never could before when limited to athletic budgets.

Gable to the Bills is a diabolical plan to keep him away from Iowa. The Buffalo Bills are owned by Terry and Kim Pejula, one of PSU's wealthiest boosters. They donated almost $120M to get varsity Ice Hockey at Penn State and I'm happy to see them getting involved with the wrestling program. 
Brock Lesner tried for the Vikings - prob is these guys are experts at moving guys around amazing athletes but there is more to being an nfl player than just that. Skipping the in between ncaa developement leaves a skills gap.I personally don’t think he or 99.9999% of other people can make an nfl team but the visit wasn’t exactly a motivational speech type deal.

i don't think that's what AF said. he said 'if it were me'.
and OKST landed 11 Top 10's in the last decade and 19 Top 30's. Iowa had 8 and 14.
i remember rolling my eyes when Oregon football got new facilities and a dozen different helmets and kids choose to go there with really not much proven out there.
but the i think the same will happen with David at OK State.
that 11::8 and 19::14 split, i don't imagine, will get better fo Iowa in the near future.
The key part I was arguing against was “should” vs. “would”. I did say that I have no doubt that he will start off very hot in recruiting. The name alone will undoubtedly be a huge draw.
What I was saying is that recruits shouldn’t just chase the name and should do their own due diligence and actually take advantage of the system. If you take your visits seriously and truly see what is actually out there, a ton of other schools can truly be the best fit. To automatically put him that high, with zero experience is both lazy and uninformed.
The sleeping giant awoke back in 2009.
Not that anybody ask me, but I am certainly in favor of the status quo. Extend the twins through 2040, please.
I wouldn't say that they are chasing a name. I think they see his progression from when he was their age and they believe he can take them to similar heights. His name and reputation will allow him to open more doors than not. Same with Cael or any other high profile name in any sport. If DT doesn't perform in 2-3 years, then fewer doors open but for now, he gets to make his pitch to most anyone. His accolades have earned him that.
el dub, you are spot on!
Who do u think got him the tryout to not go to Iowa.
Poor PSU needs the help, their college and club roster is soooo thin😜
He is up to 5D chess now.
I wonder what NFL team is going to be giving Keuter a tryout to mess with his head.
This isn’t hard to figure out. He get to have a team championship to go along with his soon to be 3 individual championships. He takes full load of classes this year to become academy eligible again, while Kirk finishes his last year with his second championship, and he and the freshman kid get to practice with Gable. Gable collect big NIL checks this year and next, then joins their club team for more money than anyone else can pay, and so on. He was never serious about us, just messing with our heads. At least the year he comes back will the the year Ben goes back to full time football 😄
Since Gable is not going to make the Bills team (IMHO), your thought has a decent chance of coming true. It's what Gable does best. Follows the money.
This is the only sure thing money for him, doing what he has proven he’s the best at.
I know the NCAA hands out extra years much more liberally than they used to but I think if Gable wants to compete in college it has to be this season. This is year 7 out of high school for him and he could only compete this year with a combination of redshirt, Olympic redshirt, and Covid year.

Yes, this is his last possible year of eligibility. We discussed all this back when Gable was teasing, Tony C was being re-instated and Kueter was going just wrestling. But as usual it worked itself out.
They aren’t going to recruit over Kerk his senior year. Not even Carl would do that.
I Don’t know if it’s the angle, but what struck me from that picture is how small Gable looks. He doesn’t look anywhere near bulky enough to be an interior lineman in the NFL.
Take off the pads and I’m not sure he is bigger than Cael
Usually like taller guys that. An get their hands up when rushing, to knock down the pass.
That pic certainly didn't make me want to go out and buy his jersey. He is a good inch or so shorter than Cael, who is 45 and 6'-0". Something tells me that he will be eligible to wrestle and take classes come September

For over two months I had to look at that spelling, and resisted the urge to be a moran, well no longer!
