Forgive me if this has been answered, I recall Garvin listing Iowa in his top 5 schools awhile back. He still hasn’t verballed yet, is there any mutual interest? It would seem like a no-brainer to get a commit from the #2 kid in the country from ICW. Who’s got the scoop?

The word is that it's down to ISU and Stanford. The Clones have put in a lot of time and energy there. I don't believe he came for an official.

I'm curious as to why the Hawkeyes are out of the picture with Garvin. I read somewhere Iowa’s interest cooled on him. Or is it the opposite?

There is no way Iowa cooled on him unless he had no interest. He’s a monster. He beat Riggins, but I’m pretty sure Riggins was wrestling on a torn ACL. Riggins is a different animal now and obviously heavier.

Wrong on the first, correct on the second
yep, this. When he was lighter I thought he had potential to be a high AA caliber. Watching him lately, he is a talented wrestler just not what the hawks need. Definitely would take him though

Garvin is fun to watch because he is unorthodox. Will his style translate to college? I can't remember but when was the last time he wrestled a national tourney?
 
He won folkstyle nationals last spring.
Also placed at Super 32 last fall. Super talented, but I do agree with Chief. Harder to tell how well his style will translate. Doesn’t really matter, because it appears he’s headed elsewhere.
 
I've heard Cornell is in there too and not sure that BGW has that great of relationship with Iowa, so that doesn't help with Garvin or any future studs they may produce.

Just because BG has a better relationship with ISU that doesn’t mean they have a bad one with Iowa. So if Iowa lands Tate Naaktgeboren does ur statement still hold true?

That's what I'm saying. My opinion Tate N is a Iowa lean currently.

Regardless if they get Tate or not, it's not a good relationship. If Tate goes to Iowa, it shows they are letting the kids decide for themselves and that's the way it should be. I'm just stating that it's going to be harder for Iowa to get kids from that program but I hope I'm wrong
 
Jessie Whitmer is also a coach at BGW. Pretty sure he thinks the world of the Brands Bros. Ali Ragan is there, so we know how that ended. Bunch of Carews, Skyler St John and Billy Murphy. Is that the Billy Murphy from CA?

This bad blood rumor was started by ISU fans to grasp some hope that maybe just maybe they will have some sort of a leg up on Iowa. BG doesn’t give more access to ISU then Iowa. Yes DSJ is close with those guys, but that’s not gonna get BGW to tell all there kids to go to ISU.

And Sebolt was a Cyclone, and all his guys aren't heading to ISU. You lead a horse to water and he does the rest.

I think the kid and the parents have more sway on where they end up (says Captain Obvious).

Tyler Clark too according to the website.
 
I don’t see the bad blood thing having any legs…would be bad for business if parents found out BG were steering kids away from Iowa. Not every high ranked Iowa kid will want to go to Iowa and Iowa will not like every kid for their program. Nothing personal on either side, just business.

I disagree on the parents sway. I don’t know a wrestler now that gives a crap what their parents want. It’s pretty much the opposite.
