Is Iowa wrestling not recruiting PA wrestlers?

Most of us were banned the minute we started heated conversations with the locals.
That's a fact.
I don’t know what regulation allows it, and appreciate that you research to back your claim, but there’s something that makes you wrong. Again, don’t know what it is.
Lock Haven
Lower academic standards
Kolat (PSU) and Marsteller (OSU) ended up there from elite programs and were successful
At least six RTCs within 250 miles (PSU, tOSU, Cornell, Navy, Penn, Pitt)
Coach Scott Moore has a proven track record with "projects"
All that said and until he proves otherwise, I don't think AJ has any aspirations. Period.
I appreciate your honesty. ".. you have the facts and know the truth/did the research, but I just know somehow you are wrong"
Here are the rules from USA Wrestling. bman46 is absolutely correct.
RTCs are required to support Olympic wrestling and so their charters must allow for visiting wrestlers to practice if they are in the area and are attached to a program. In fact to my understanding, any RTC within 250 miles of a wrestler's home address is obligated to invite, in writing, any wrestler who meets the criteria to participate at that RTC.
If you recall, a couple years ago David Carr spent some time at the NLWC. A few PSU fans went crazy with rumors of "Carr to PSU".. The truth is that Carr had the right to participate at the NLWC as a visitor (his uncle was coaching at Lock Haven), just like AJ at the HWC, etc. A RTC cannot just deny access arbitrarily. They must follow the rules set by USA Wrestling.
It's probably fair to say that AJ in the Iowa room or weight training center the last 6 months was probably HWC related as a visiting and qualifying athlete. Likely had zero to do with Iowa wrestling. Probably why Terry told him to leave.

I do, because we have seen a ton of social media posts over the years that say otherwise. I genuinely appreciate your research but also think it’s clear there are loopholes that allow it. No way are they callously and publicly committing NCAA violations.
Maybe it’s the age thing that has gotten them in. Or camps. Thanks for pointing this out.
Does anyone else find it hilarious that I posted the answers to all the back and forth between bman46 and Spooner, but since they obviously have me on ignore as a PSU fan, they aren't seeing it. 
Carry on LOL.
Carry on LOL.Someone please copy and paste my answer into a post so that they stop going back and forth. ThanksDoes anyone else find it hilarious that I posted the answers to all the back and forth between bman46 and Spooner, but since they obviously have me on ignore as a PSU fan, they aren't seeing it.
But Iowa is offensive when they have elite guys who can actually execute. Therein lies the problem…just not enough to keep up with PSU.

I’ve never put anyone on ignore. That function is dumb and for the comically thin skinned/internet is serious business crowd.
I actually gave you a compliment the other day. I think that makes us best friends.
in all fairness...like that exists here...I made that post in April...I think it was April.... but if I am wrong i am sure someone will crucify me for the wrong date.Bringing facts and logic with calmness to a summer wrestling forum?? Blink twice if you are being held hostage
Come on fellas, I've got the tar and the feathers. Who has got the horse?
You are correct. If it is a camp at the RTC then that is the way to get around it I believe. That is probably how the Hutcherson kid was able to come in. He is from PA so not within the 250 miles so he could not just go train at the HWC. Bad part is, he could go train at NLWC and that is not good for Iowa.
