Is there a recruiting guru for Iowa wrestling?

For the most part the IAwrestle guys are as good as it gets for that. They cover all Iowa schools but they get interviews with big time recruits. Plus they are holding there own big time national event that showcases the kids. Much to Willie Saylor's dislike because he has a lot at stake with WN1 and his PSU/state of PA agenda. . IMO hes a bit but hurt that they are even challenging all mighty flowrestling with journalism, interviews and events. If anyone has followed a few twitter bashes they know what im talking about. Of course that's just the trashy Easton coming out of ya, huh smalls?

Andy Hamilton is pretty good but he is more after they commit articles.
 
IAWrestle is great.

Smalls just needs to understand that it's his job to be "national" and it's IAWrestle's to be local. Sure they've done things for HWC and events at Carver. Know that they've also done PWC golf outings, put out feelers to have Night of Conflict type of events at UNI and Iowa State. They also cover a hell of a lot HS action.

The IAW crew started out as fans of Hawkeye boards, but they do an excellent job of covering all. It's no secret that you spend most of you time catering to your biggest audience.

Yeah, I'm amazed at the amateurish vitriol that comes from him regarding IAWrestle.

Saw a Flo article previewing the top upcoming matches for the week a couple weeks ago (couple weeks after the Iawrestle guys started doing it). Not sure if I missed the previous articles, but appeared as though they stole his idea.

Iawrestle does a great job.

I'm pretty sure Flo's been doing those for a couple years. I think cp actually writes them. I love Iawrestle for high school wrestling though.

Apologies to CP if he has been doing them for longer. Just hadn't seen them before. Hadn't gone there much in the past. Signed up for a year of Flo a few months ago and do seem to be going there more frequently. They do have some pretty good stuff.

I really only care about high school wrestling in the state of Iowa or if a wrestler is interested in Iowa so IAW is all I need to get my info. Don't follow anything with flo in regards to HS.

And with BTN having all the rights to all Iowa and other big ten meets flo doesn't seem to have as much value anymore unless you are big into HS or international.

Yea I like having access to all the national stuff and the videos (the new jrob series is pretty cool).
 
I appreciate the kind words from you all on our coverage of the state. We really do try and do our best to cover the entire state of Iowa.

As far as to answer the question of recruiting, as I mentioned we cover the state of Iowa so I created two posts on the site that I think fans looking for a quick fix can save in their favorites folders. The first is the Iowa high school interest list. At one time we had all top ten seniors on this list, but as they commit I remove them. Follow the link and you can see the interest of the guys we have talked to, and a link to the interview where they stated those college choices: http://iawrestle.com/recruiting-list/

If you want to know where someone is headed that has already committed in the state you can use this link, where we try to track all that information as well: http://iawrestle.com/iowa-high-school-recruiting-commits-2016/
