Hawks sign best recruiting class ever

It is official. The National Letter of Intents have been received and the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2023 is in the books. This is nothing short of an incredible recruiting class. In my opinion the best recruiting class in the history of Iowa Wrestling. Ben Kueter of Iowa City, Iowa...

Let’s hope things can only remain at this level with the completion of the new facility. 👍🏻

The comparison to Stephen Neal is flattering …….. to Neal. Keuter is a waaaay more accomplished high school athlete. Neal placed 4th his senior year of high school. He didn’t even win his section. He was a fairly average high school football player as well. (189 lber), Keuter is on a whole other level.

And that’s the rub, imo. I’ll be even more amazed at BK’s abilities if he’s able to actually participate in wrestling during his college career.

A possible scenario, imo, might include expectations of him wrestling a limited schedule in the second semester only. And hopefully contributing substantially in post season.

I hope Ben focuses on wrestling. Truly elite, and better wrestler (IMO) by far than football player. And he’s a damn good football player, too!

Someone should mention the following to Ben Kueter.

For those who don't know....Carlton Haselrig was a stud wrestler in the late 1980s, winning 3 NCAA D1 titles (and 3 NCAA DII titles!). I checked his wikipedia and confirmed that he didn't play football in college (Pittsburgh-Johnstown didn't have football). However, the Steelers drafted him for offensive guard and by year 3 he made the Pro Bowl.

Kueter, concentrate on wrestling in college - there will be plenty of time for football after college!

Haselrig was a football player at Lock Haven but injured his knee as a Frosh without playing a game. He then transferred to UPJ after only one semester at LHU.

That’s a good list. It should also include the fact that the HWC is in the process of being endowed — a critical step in the progression of our RTC and, by extension, our college program.

Now more than ever, under new NIL rules, Hawk fans can make a direct impact on the success of the U of I wrestling program by donating to the HWC endowment. The connection used to be more indirect; now, improved funding of the HWC has an immediate impact on the success of the Iowa program. This is a tremendous opportunity for the biggest and best fan base in wrestling to have a huge impact.

We’ve always operated according to the rules, and the rules now allow for this. Great time to get on board. Any questions — just email Chad Beatty at chad@hawkeyewrestlingclub.com. Preaching to to the choir here, I know, but it never hurts to get the word out. Might make for good Thanksgiving dinner conversation with your rich uncle, if nothing else.😉

Loved watching King wrestle for the Hawks. Biggest biceps in the nation, IMO, barely beating out fellow Hawk Scott Trizzino. King had injury problems and seemed to always have a full leg wrap — and he was usually behind Scott in the lineup IIRC — but dude was explosive and extremely good for a guy who didn’t see the lineup all that much. Would have been a multiple AA at any other program.
