McCrae Hagarty to ISU
- Thread starter jrod65
- Start date
Reminds me of the Wyatt Voelker recruitment last year...certain schools just had a more favorable path to starting than others.
Maybe Iowa fans should just adopt the approach that Dresser used to employ...we didn't need him, but we drove up the cost of the scholarship offer for the team that got him?
He wasn't going to get a big money offer here. Not ranked high enough or enough need at his weight. He will be behind the Cuban unless the Cuban bumps to heavyweight.
I realize that.
I said it to antagonize the ISU fans that read this forum.
I'm "in their head".
I think the feeling is mutual. lol
If you knew me, you'd know I like to yank people's chains.
FYI...back in the days of the Rival's "Prep Forum", I'd go rounds with Keith Meeks and have him so worked up that I was afraid he'd "spaz out".
Just a character flaw on my part.
I believe he’d only be behind the Cuban for 1 year as he’s a senior this year and can red shirt next year. He’d be a red shirt freshman when The Cuban is a senior.
Sounds right.
I'd like to get Cody Merrill or Sinclair if we are going to target that weight class.
Anyone wanna predict this year's Hagarty vs Dreshaun Ross outcome? I'm excited for that one.
Prying Sinclair away from Mizzou would be a tough task. Trains there as often as possible, I believe.
I would guess he’s being recruited to replace him as they won’t overlap much. Tough kid but rankings wise comes in right around where we already have kids at his weight class just a year older than him.
Watched him against hill finals match at 95. He’s a specimen. Kind of thought we might get him. Good pick up for isu. Looks like a multiple AA type
Really? I'm shocked.If you knew me, you'd know I like to yank people's chains.

None of the Waverly kids over the years have really been ultra successful in college.
I'm hoping Riggins is.
But we'll see.
Don’t know how to break this to you, but few in the entire state at any one time are ultra successful in college wrestling.
You think? Hagarty is a hoss but Ross is the next big thing to come out of Iowa imo. I think Ross’s leg attacks from space might give Hagarty some issues.
Just saying that although WSR is the premiere high school club in the State right now, none of their kids have tore it up in college over the years. I could just say even qualifying for Nattys.
This kid might be a beast, but walking through that weight range in Iowa comes with an asterisk...the elite athletes play football.
You can say whatever you want but that doesn’t make it accurate. Just in recent years Austin Yant and Bryce Steiert have been NCAA qualifiers. Steiert was a two time all-American. Going back, Mark Ballweg was an NCAA qualifier at Iowa in 2013. Might be more, but those come to mind for me.
Hagerty has the profile of a guy one would expect to challenge for an AA berth by his senior year at a minimum.

As someone who had a kid the same age as McCrae and was on many national dual teams growing up with him hes always been undervalued imo. Hes a horse and a good kid, best days are still ahead of him.
Askren talked a little about his interests on one of the shows recently. I know PSU was named as one he is interested in but can't recall if Iowa was one or not. He made it sound like Mizzou wasn't a lock. Askren tells some funny stories about Sinclair...kid seems like a hoot to be around. One of my favorites was him getting a 15 second pin and when he came off mat he told Ben he was really working hard on being patient that match. Lol
He’s rated 89th in the country. That’s my sense for someone with that ranking. Obviously, he aspires for much more—as they all do—and many of them come through.
