This looks awesome. Time to focus on the upperweights.
Welcome aboard JRent, pumped to have you!! Lower weights are stacked.

wtf!? This is awesome! Imagine if a year ago after Desanto beat Lee at state, someone told you "I'm from the future. Lee is going to win a title as a true freshman, and then both Desanto and Renteria will xfer to Iowa that following summer." No one would believe that lol. Crazy.
It's nice to see that we beat Ohio State out for Renteria. We have so much flexibility now at the lower weights. Lee, Cashman, Renteria and DeSantos all have their redshirts remaining and Lee has the added bonus of an Olympic Redshirt. These guys can be around for awhile.
Hey FLO, how would you rank that recruiting class now? Everyone else had last year's incoming freshman class as #1, but FLO had us #2. You add Renteria and DeSanto's to Lee, Warner, Murin, Axmeer, Costello and Myles Martin and this class has to earn, even FLO's, #1 ranking.
Also, we bring back the second most points from the NCAA this season and that's prior to adding Warner, Desanto's/Renteria, Wilke dropping, Lugo stepping in for Sorenson, Kemmer upgrading 174 and Young dropping to 157, which is the best weight for him He's been trying to force himself to get bigger and it wasn't happening, so now he's in the right weight. We only had one guy graduate, but are going to have at least 5 new guys at different weights. The race is tightening and once again, as much bias as FLO gives to PSU, they have to admit that Iowa has closed the gap. One last thought is that we only graduate one guy this year and PSU graduates a great class... The future is bright for the Hawkeyes.
The team could look like:
Lee, Cashman
Renteria/DeSanto's/Glynn
Turk/Murin/Happel (another year of development for all of these guys) or either Renteria or DeSantos can bump up a weight if they can win the weight.
Lugo
Young
Marinelli
Kemmer
Wilke
Warner
Stoll (the only senior on the team) and we have a good heavyweight coming in. Who said, Tom doesn't have a plan?
If healthy and a few things bounce our way, which is the same for every team, we could finish with all 10 on the podium. I know all 10 is a reach, but there is no hole in this line-up. All ten guys are quality wrestlers and could all end up on the podium.

I think he is better than DeSanto and a top five kid.
We got Myles Martin?! 184 just got solved
Woah that's big...
Obviously everyone has to win their own weight and earn their spot, but speculation says jrent red shirt year 1 and
125 Lee
133 desanto
141 murin/turk
149 lugo
Then eventually some wrestlers will hopefully be able to grow into into upper weights to replace lugo.
I don't see any reason to use Lee's red shirt but if he wants to for Olympics obviously everyone would be okay with that. We are looking strong in the future

Well stated. Only minor quibble is that we are well positioned to win in 2020 so not sure about the Lee shirt. Game on otherwise.
Gotta get Spencer that Gold! That said, nothing would surprise me with him anymore. He may very well go get it without the red shirt!
He will probably have a schedule similar to Snyder's in 2016.
Having those redshirts is key. Not automatically using them year one creates all these possibilities.
We got Myles Martin?! 184 just got solved
Myles Wilson from Colorado, but we would welcome Myles Martin as well
Give me Renteria over DeSanto this year if he feels his weight is on point.
That isn't what he told Andy Hamilton.

I have no preference. Both guys have had their challenges. May the best one win.
If I had to guess, I would say DeSanto could use the redshirt this year more than Renteria. DeSanto may need a little more time to adjust socially and academically. Could be wrong though.
Bout time TnT finds some camps to get all these boys paid...
Well it’s what a coach told me this morning. I will tell him spooner says he’s wrong
Two lads after a get to know you session yesterday.
Really happy JRent is a Hawk.
Or you could tell him that’s not what Renteria said in an interview. Spooner just linked the article.
Great news. Murin or Turk will be fine at 41 but I wish we could see Lee, Desanto and Rentiera man those three lower weights this coming year. Lee, Gilman and Clark are going to be magnets for years to come for the nations best lightweights. The future, and I mean this year is getting brighter, we are back on top. Go Hawks.
I've been thinking that with Dawg moving up to 74 would and Cass coming in, maybe Kennedy after that; we are pretty set at 4 if the last 5 weight classes.
Want Spencer to get that gold(or Gilman) more than anything...having that kind of gold in Iowa room will be very difficult to combat recruiting wise. Plus Spencer coming to Iowa has been a major boom...look how much has changed since he came here.
He is quoted “he wants to stay 133” but he didn’t draw a line in the sand and keeping 141 open as well.
I rarely read anything on Twitter, but was just reading Renteria's posts there, and soon after his announcement, he tweeted Brands' statement "The only thing you deserve is what you earn." Also, CoryClark's Shoulder tweeted "Welcome home" and Spencer tweeted "Can't wait to train with this stud!"
