I got a good laugh out of your BWI work
I wish I did. My wife likes for us to get drunk together on red wine and get crazy. I always end up on a wrestling boards with my crazy. I think she has other ideas.
Your information as to who we are and are not contacting is coming from where? Here? Like exactly how much of a scholarship we were interested in giving to Hilday and Teske to be projected back ups for 2 or more years. Posters need to decide if they want top rated p4p guys or just possible AA guys. Hilday was ALWAYS only seen as a possible AA even before the round of 32. Did we want him, yes, but not at full price.
Same for me! But I’m an Iowan and I was bound to go to Iowa since birth. Somehow the U of I knew that. Should have went elsewhere .
Now my Illinois friends told me the university gives very small scholarships to exceptional out of state students to help with the costs. I’m sure that factors in a little bit. Making the deans list(3.5 gpa in college) helps too, but I never qualified for that.
I think she'd prefer you to be on the head board not the message board buddy!
Brooks’s Dad said we haven’t even contacted him. So your logic is that we just offered our top recruits less because we didn’t project them that high? Then we need to have better guys be our top recruits.
Are you saying I am paranoid and we really did contact Brooks despite his father saying we didn’t, or do you not know what “wearing a tinfoil hat” means?
We offered them less because that's all we could offer them. We do not have the money to go all in on either.
You said "we are not even contacting kids" & yes I implied that you have paranoia if you believe that.
Would wrestling ****ing start already?!?!?!
One dad on one recruite! Not that much money available and was ear marked for 33. Strange things happened there...we get a commitment and then even after he has already flipped he doesn't make it known. We lose renteria....and rby is prohibited from visiting any other schools or cael will revoke an offer before roman even agrees to accept it. Hurt us where we needed someone the most. Coincidence??
Responding to a ridiculous insinuation that we might lose to Minnesota or Rutgers at B1Gs? I guess if you want to draw your own narrative from that, then yes, it has come to this.
Agree. A back-up ranked outside the top 10 = 0 NCAA points even if called into action. It doesn't mitigate any risk. By the same token, splitting scholarships between 2-3 guys all ranked outside the top 10 (e.g. Turk, Happel, Murin) is the same, point-wise, as giving a full ride to Perez Perez. Pick the horse that you think can win and put all the money on him. Sometimes it doesn't work out (Altons, Gulibon), but you don't need every guy to win, just 4-5 out of 10.
Brooks is planning on enrolling in 2019, right? So he would slot in a weight of need then. Planning in advance.
Those kids all grow up wanting to be Hawkeyes. If ya'll don't get Kennedy, I'd start to get worried.
I don't think he'd be directly-connected to following Brady out to Happy Valley. He seems like his own man, in the little I've ever chatted with him. The KM dudes are brainwashed into loving basic head/hands defense and high crotches, not scrambling, superducks, and big throws. And it obviously works extremely well for them, but it's right out of Iowa's playbook.
It is easy to tell who the rookies are on this site.
haha, ok, so you're telling me to stop listening to people from Kasson? Im only sharing what I hear, doesnt mean its going to happen.
I can appreciate you sharing what you've heard, and in some cases it could be useful, but you just reinforced my thought that your town source knows nothing. Everything you've stated couldn't be more false. Maybe they are just trying to be "in the know" because they are from KM, but there's nothing to see here. Not trying to be rude or condescending, just debunking your source regardless of where they live.
There are no "leans". It will be a recruiting battle. Hopefully the Hawks remember how to get to KM
It is all about the $$$ (9.9 schollies for whole program). Until Iowa can match the $$$ of P$U and O$U, the hawks will be looking up at them. The post-grad $$$ P$U promises to gives to the guys is a huge advantage. It is an arms race that Iowa can't match right now.
Life continues on. Go Hawks!
Exactly! Not a coincidence the two teams with the most $$$ floating around the clubs are getting the biggest share of high end recruits.
1. Other teams are winning = they are cheating
2. Recruits go elsewhere = we don't have the money but "x" school does OR the recruit isn't that good anyways, we didn't want him
3. We do things the right way
What other ones am I missing?..

Steroids
Our facility is old
Refs don't call stalling the way they should
Unicorns
Sometimes a decision by the 4th placer finisher at Super 32s to wrestle with his brother in college is just a decision by a kid to wrestle with his brother in college. I'm ready for the season to start.
Also I see it as he feels he is a 174 in college, not the 184 Iowa fans want him tobe.
We are robots... bee boop bee boop wrestle wrestle cut weight lifestyle wrestle no f***...

I don't like the excuses either.
But I have to say I'm impressed that most people on the board have wished both Hidlay and Teske good luck and aren't bashing them. (Comments about their S32 performances are not mean-spirited for the most part).

As good as that kid is, they should be outside the window of his class at school ala Lloyd...
Exactly. Not going to happen in wrestling as no interest. That's the nice thing about operating in somewhat obscurity. No one pays that close attention to the rules.
