This meltdown by a few of us, me included, will go down in the annals. A teenager had to change his Twitter bio to calm down allegedly mature adults.
I'm a successful adult - sadly I've never been accused of being mature

Kids these days are nutty about their social media and if his twitter is changed it means something.
I'm with on that. I'm an immature, unsuccessful adult. Pass the potatoes please.I'm a successful adult - sadly I've never been accused of being mature
Brayton Lee from Indiana would make a great 149. YouTube the kid. He is definitely Iowa style.
To this point, here's a video of Brayton Lee wrestling newest HR crush Sammy Sasso. A lot to be impressed about by Lee in this match!
He was in on a lot of shots. A year or 2 in the Iowa room would do him wonders. Let's just get both of em.To this point, here's a video of Brayton Lee wrestling newest HR crush Sammy Sasso. A lot to be impressed about by Lee in this match!
I've heard very different.
He looks to be a 25/33 bc he doesn't cut much to make 120. Is he beating out spencer or Teasdale? My guess would be there is only so much much money to go around and Iowa wouldn't have much to offer.
Iowa has always been the type to recruit the best regardless of weight, and let the chips fall where they may. I wouldn't think Iowa would offer much $, no. However I've heard from a good resource that Teske likes Iowa. If he wants to come to Iowa, I'm guessing Iowa would take him.
I agree. I don't think Iowa would turn down a walk on that is a Fargo runner up and 4x Iowa state champion.
I'm guessing he wouldn't be a walk-on either. Keep in mind he made a unofficial visit with Drew Bennett after Iowa got verbals from Lee, & Teasdale. Would I predict him going to Iowa, no. However, there is more of a chance in my mind than the people already saying he won't. He hasn't committed anywhere, so there is a chance is my only point. Just playing devil's advocate, and also trying to keep people who don't know for sure from acting like they do.
Brayton Lee has Hawkeye written all over him. He just won his 2nd state title in 3 years. He's 131-1 and hasn't lost since he was upset in the semi-state ticket round his Freshman year. The kid is a savage and keeps improving.To this point, here's a video of Brayton Lee wrestling newest HR crush Sammy Sasso. A lot to be impressed about by Lee in this match!
There has been communication between him and our staff. He's an under the radar hammer.Brayton Lee has Hawkeye written all over him. He just won his 2nd state title in 3 years.

I think Iowa has a lot of scholly money tied up, so real doubtful they could get both Sasso and Lee. Probably one or the other.
83%Care to explain to us HOW MUCH money is tied up?
That would help us understand your statement so much better..........

Would be surprised if he got that big. Probably a 152/160 pounder this year if it made sense for the team. I see him falling in the 174-184 realm. Obviously just going off the eye testSomebody ought to get after Kennedy from KM. He just toys with his opponents. As a 9th grader ranked #1 at 170 in AA. Could easily be a 197 in a few years.

Lopez lost in the finals by TF 16-1, is that correct? Only a Freshman but sounds like he has got a lot of work to do yet before he starts getting on anyone's radar.
That score is not correct. I believe the final was TF 19-3, not that is makes a difference if you just look at final scores and assume it wasn't close. You would need to have actually watched the kid wrestle to see why I mentioned him, as I very rarely would risk credibility on here if I didn't really believe this kid was a diamond in the rough.
The score was not indicative of the match and his opponent (Mich'ael McGee, #4 nationally on Intermat) is a rather unorthodox wrestler who scores points in bunches. What impressed me was the attack rate, way he strings together combinations, the way he adapted during his matches, scrambling ability, etc... This kid has all the tools college coaches drool over.
Well, Stoll, Kemerer, Marinelli, Lee, Warner and Teasdale should all be getting big schollies, with several likely to have full schollies. I would expect Young, Murin and Troy are getting some signficant money. I just don't think they have room to hand out two more big schollies to the 2018 class. Maybe, there is a hidden slush fund that I don't know about.![]()

IKR? This kid is a hammer man I'm telling you guysBrayton Lee has heard from every school in the Big10 but Iowa! We are missing the boat on this one.
Not if we land Sasso, who is a bigger recruit.Brayton Lee has heard from every school in the Big10 but Iowa! We are missing the boat on this one.
