Lockett coming?

We’re in a bidding war gents. Down to us and okiest.

I honestly think he’s just trying to make sure john pays up - but we’ve got the cash to match. Fingers crossed!
I’m afraid you may be correct about using us as financial leverage, since I’m sure okie st thinks he’s a lock, training with them for years already. I believe a few big transfers that ended up at PSU visit us just to be sure they were getting PSU’s best offer. I really hope I’m wrong! Also, do you think we could get him and Henkel and have them end up at different weights in college?

We could get both. Then let them figure it out. PSU-style!
 
Because hes been pretty up front about what (how much) it will take to secure his commitment
so you are saying an autographed picture of IRON BIRD - himself posing with A Carver Ice Cream Cone as he seductively licked it....wouldn't be enough to pry Lockett away from the OKIES ?? This kid may be a tough one to figure out just exactly what he wants if the Iron Bird poster doesn't seal the deal

He needs a pic of his wife also. Ironbird knows all this stuff.

If that picture is mounted to the dash of a new luxury pickup, it will get his attention 😉
 
We have trucks up here.

Hell I can hook him up no problem.

Here's a question for the group:

With the monster NIL deals taking place, is kids getting a full ride as big of a deal as it has been in the past?

NIL coupled with the lax transfer rules is going to ruin college sports. Everything is about the almighty dollar now, which takes the amateur out of college sports. I don't know how you go back or even reel it in at this point though.
Dude… where have you been? This has been college sports since football and and basketball became a thing.

Difference is - we’re conditioned to hate athletes for taking money that used to go to institutions.

Case in point - Lockett couldn’t ask for something that doesn’t exist. Tom and john and every other coach would just tell him to kick rocks.

I’m kinda eh on it - it’s not going to be the death knell to sports - it can’t be. It’s money that exists. It’s not the stock market.

There will be a regression to the mean - but this righting the wrong of faux-amateurism that’s exist since AT LEAST the 80s.
 
The separation in wrestling between the "haves" and "have nots" has existed for the better part of 15-20 years, imo.

We're rapidly approaching no more than 7/8 top programs.
I think B1G conference members will be fine as far as maintaining their wrestling programs, but I think we're going to see 10+ other programs dropping wrestling in the next decade or less.
 
Um.... does this include current wrestlers and their obnoxious dad? I got a new Marlin 45-70 I'm dying to try out. . . .
There's nothing in Iowa that you need that for. Maybe the occasional Black Bear or Moose that wanders in, but you'd probably get in trouble for shooting them. I heard there is a rifle season for deer now (which floors me), but that would be overkill for White-tail hunting.

It’s a straight wall cartridge so it’s perfectly legal for deer now. The recoil is enough for my wimpy ass to avoid it but I have a few friends that hunt with them. Last time I talked to one of them they had just scoped themselves after shooting it 🤣
 
I've been thinking about that too. Does it make the 9.9 virtually obsolete?

By far from an expert, but I would have to agree.

Penn Chevy can give a ton of money to JoeBob DoubleLeg and JoeBob can pay for his own ride.

Give the scholarship to a kid that needs the money.

Two studs for the price of one.
