Was Iowa recruiting any of the 5 in state ISU recruits: Owens, Flora, Harsh , Reeves and Broderson ? TIA
Don't know the veracity of the story or if it's just some clown(pun intended) trolling the fans, but a thread on CF is suggesting Anderson might not get into ISU?That is certainly what made the jump this year. You take out 125 and replace him with the 7/11 kid they had last season. Then take out 197 and fill in with a freshman. ISU is a different team. Also, their AA was at VT 2 years ago. I'm not knocking it. It is part of the landscape in NCAA wrestling now. Throw in the transfer portal and things are going to get messy.

Likely just a rumor. It's the off season.
Would likely explain why better schools backed away during his recruitment if this is the issue. Lower level programs don't have as much to lose taking a gamble. Strange that a parochial high school would have that happen.He's not helping himself. Has to take a summer course and not mess that up.
Dresser survives getting 2-3 transfers a year, imo.

Are you saying that without 33 and 49 the hawks wouldn’t have won it? You’re a smart man!and where are the hawks without 133 and 149 transfers?

ISU won't return to relevancy getting one high profile high schooler a year. As we saw with Broderson's loss to Ryg... you have to be a bit skeptical of guys in his weight range simply because the best talents go the football route.
BTW: I feel the same way about the Warnerov hype.

Unsure on your predictions. All of them. Time will tell.Reeves and Broderson are legits. The rest are room guys/long shots to be high AAs. I see Reeves as a 2 or maybe 3 time AA, Broderson as a 1-2 time AA. Both would look great as Hawks but neither are unlikely game changers.
Warner making the podium as a RS frosh should have put this to bed for you.
Austin Gomez is alright.Unsure on your predictions. All of them. Time will tell.
Just to address Warner... my random opinion is that he's a bit too short for the weight. Leverage is a big deal and I see him struggling with taller, lankier opponents. And I'm only talking being a National champion. He certainly is a strong candidate to be a 4X AA and that's no small feat.
Reeves issue will be workout partners in the room. There are none right now with credentials.
Did he AA? He might not next year either. 133 is still loaded. I don't understand the hype. He can beat a decent guy the first time they meet. But once he's scouted and you take away his throws... meh!Austin Gomez is alright.
So many ISU experts over here while Penn St continues to dominate...
Don’t ever change Mitch, you magnificent pot stirring sonofabitch.Did he AA? He might not next year either. 133 is still loaded. I don't understand the hype. He can beat a decent guy the first time they meet. But once he's scouted and you take away his throws... meh!
Same thing with the early hype on Parker. Until Dresser finds a touted light weight coach, the Clones won't be much of an appeal. KJ had the same problem and it only got slightly better when Angel was there. This isn't rocket science. That's why I don't think ISU will be in the conversation when it comes time for Ayala to make a choice. Kids notice these trends.

Couple more transfers and they're going to be nipping at UNI's heels.LOL at an ISU fan talking wrestling smack on an Iowa board. PSU is certainly above Iowa by a good amount but ISU isn't even in the same galaxy.
won what?
im simply pointing out that iowa had transfers in their line up that helped their point total at ncaa's, just like isu, and its silly to act like they didnt.
Hawks are closer to Blue Man Group (or BMG as PSU will be referred to going forward) than ISU is to Iowa. 2020LOL at an ISU fan talking wrestling smack on an Iowa board. PSU is certainly above Iowa by a good amount but ISU isn't even in the same galaxy.
I don’t think Mitch said anything at all about Iowa in his post, it appears you brought it up
Oh course I brought it up, when some one is trying to talk about transfers and is seemingly ignoring the fact that Iowa had 2 transfers that we're AA's this year I felt it should be pointed out.
In fact how would of TB first few years as Iowa head coach gone without transfers?
There is no doubt that Iowa has embraced the transfer system. Anyone saying otherwise is clueless. There is nothing wrong with Iowa or any other school looking at transfers.
Is that gonna help? There is no amount of single minded focus a fan can have to make their team win. So how is not worrying about another program gonna help?I agree 100%, but it seems that there are a lot of posters that have incredibly short/selective memories. They should stop worrying about other programs and start focusing on how IOWA is going to win another NCAA title.

Because, of course, what message board posters are focusing on will have a direct impact on IOWA winning another NCAA title. Duh.
I guess I'm viewing transfers differently than others. But since Iowa's situation was brought up... Renteria and Lugo were brought in and both red shirted in their first year on campus. Schools like Minnesota and ISU need to bring in transfers to fill immediate holes. Both those programs ran kids off to create thatI don’t think Mitch said anything at all about Iowa in his post, it appears you brought it up
Rewatch his match against Cal Poly? and tell me he's big enough to handle the taller, lanky guys! He's not a big 197.He’s 6’1/6’2. Height isn’t an issue
News to Iowa fans! Or are you predicting that for next season when Gross arrives?Desanto redshirted???

Running off scholly guys in Vega/Simmons/Storr/DiBlasi to make room for Miklus. While no one knows how much they were getting, they probably were getting something. Some of that $$$ went to Miklus in all probability. Doesn't matter the chronological order of when they left because it gave Dresser options.Trying to figure out who we ran off to make room for Miklus.
Wasn’t there a wrestler that decided to hang up his shoes before his eligibility expired? In that weight range?Running off scholly guys in Vega/Simmons/Storr/DiBlasi to make room for Miklus.
