Two phenomenal athletes out of literally hundreds of thousands of potential D-1 football players over the last 3-4 decades. I'm not thinking those are very good odds if you are banking on it.
Kueter!!!
- Thread starter Reymundo
- Start date
That's great planning by both coaching staffs.
There was no way he was going to see the field other than mop up duty and special teams. And let's face it, there's not much mop up duty time with Iowa lately. Every game comes down late in the 4th quarter.

They just don’t strike me as folks who would live in Iowa on purpose.
Naw. That’s Ant’ney’s future, imo. Maybe they could be cellies and lifting partners?
If you are looking at players drafted per year, you can't include the whole football roster in that equation. Iowa typically has around 20 Seniors and maybe a Junior or 2 who declares early, which would put that number just South of 20%.
If we narrow that down to starters only, the percentages increase sharply. There was a graphic put out a couple years ago that had the number of Senior starters drafted or invited to NFL training camps at like 87% over a several year period.
Practice squad guys get paid $12k/week. That's $216,000 for an 18 week season.
If you would’ve told me a year ago we could have a potential Starocci/Cass matchup in college, I would’ve said you’re bat shit crazy.
Good comedy answers, but I wouldn’t doubt if AJ and Anthony end up at Rutgers. If that happens it makes me nervous about Angelo, because Rutgers was the only school on his first and second list. If he’s smart he stays here.
Cass is interested in the UFC, light hvy is 205. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him continue the cut down to be in the UFC weight range.
I cannot wait to light up Taylor’s squad
Happy to see you have adjusted your goals appropriately.
125/133: Some combo of Drake/Petersen
141:Block
149: Parco
157: Cobe/???
165: Mikey C
174: Kennedy/Gabe
184: Nelson
197: Glazier/???
Hwy: Kueter
Angelo in redshirt.
One would think those numbers would shrink considerably compared to who has actually tried it.
Fair enough - but the point is the highest level of a sport is generally reserved for those who have worked for years to specialize at it.
Wasn't there just a pic with AJ and Big Ben training? Have not heard anything BAD about the fast cars in a pretty long time so that is a good thing!!!
We need him at 197, although I would not mind a bit if FORMLY BIG Cass could make 197???
In any case, get BIG Ben on the shEEEEt and add some HP!!!! He could WIN it this year with 20-30 pounds on his frame!
and YES, he IS that good!!!

I'd add Rathjen to 157 with Cobe and this seems right. It's potentially a very good team, but Caliendo is the only guy I feel very confident places top 4. Drake if he's at 125, but that weight is so deep that I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't.
But I think everyone else with the exception of Peterson can place. Will be a very solid dual team. Block is a real wildcard too.
I worry about skinny Cass. He didn’t look that great down at 213 or whatever the weight is. Healthy and feeling good he’s an upgrade over Glazier for sure, but that’s a lot of weight to lose. Definitely excited to see peak BK!
I don't think he's athletic enough for 197. I don't think he would place and I'm not sure he would be an upgrade over Glazier.
Drake just teched the 3rd place finisher with only takedowns (freestyle). He and Figs are the top 2 and the only notable addition to the weight class will be Luke Lilledahl. He would have to regress a decent amount not to be top 4.
Very fair and I wouldn't pick him to fall out of the top 4, but there are a lot of tough guys back and upsets happen all the time. Ramos went from beating Spencer to not placing last year.
I’m like 80% sure whomever said Skinny Cass at 197 wasn’t offering inside info or projecting him in the lineup, rather just commenting on how skinny he would be there.
Yes. I was just making a joke since Ben is obviously going hvy and it wouldn’t make sense for him to forgo football if Tony was coming back to hvy.
Cass is a real life NES Ice Hockey character. We just have to pick which one we want
For the record from left to right Pee Wee, Lanky and Fatso.Cass is a real life NES Ice Hockey character. We just have to pick which one we want
