Michigan grades

It looks to me like Woods had a pretty relaxed off season. One thing about the psu guys, they take massive physical jumps every off-season. Whether it's always clean or not is up for debate but you can't argue with the physical development results they're getting. Brooks looks like a flipping WWE wrestler this year. Bartlett looked a little soft to me last year now he's jacked.
There is a good interview with him with the parkside guys. He basically said he doesn’t do much weight lifting, relies on natural strength and gaining strength from wrestling. Something had to be wrong physically against Michigan. I can’t remember him getting manhandled like that an entire match ever.

It’s more than recruiting. Ohio St seems to have the #1 recruiting class every other year, and they aren’t any closer to Penn State than Iowa is. Their last #1 class was 2022 where they got all three of the top 3 pfp recruits in Bouzakis, Mendez, and Feldman plus Shumate & Geog. PSU had one recruit that year, Levi Haines, who was a top 15-20 recruit, not top 3, but he looks significantly better than any of the OSU kids already. Starocci was also top 15-20 and he’s on the verge of being a 4-timer. Davis was barely top 50, and he’s ranked 3rd as a true freshman. Whether it’s coaching, training style, partners, or whatever, the wrestlers do better and show more improvement at Penn State than other places. They’ve obviously done great at recruiting, but that’s not even close to the whole story.

I was thinking something similar during the tOSU vs. Michigan dual and had to go back to look up tOSU's recruiting stats. We Iowa fans would be pissed with some of those recruiting hauls and the resulting finishes at NCAAs. I'd say recruiting these types of athletes is a necessary but not sufficient condition, especially with HS guys coming in so ready to compete at the highest level. I definitely don't like it, but PSU absolutely has the best coaching going, and now is benefitting from the snowball effect of so many top guys in the room.
OH GOD, here we go AGAIN!!!!! ^^^^^^^ You get this same rehashed crap over and OVER!!! The F*** st wannabes constantly do the same crap. "Gee, look at this guy who was only a top 10-15 guy and...... " Yea great....... Blah BLAH BLAH!!!!!!

There very TOP guys have ALL been VERY HIGH recruits, if you have literally DOZENS to chose from, sooner or later, like a blind squirrel finding a nut. You TWOOOO will hit a HR!!!! That simple and I have CONSTANTLY challenged any wannabe troll to disprove what I am saying.

The great Krailure has had way more FAILURES the successes, this IS the fact and just posting ALL the 125s on the roster since suriano will prove it!!! I am guess JUST at 125 a dozen misses ALONE!!!!

Even IF this davis kid makes AA(he will not!) it is just the "luck of the draw" like playing cards. Keep bringing them in, and find one outa the bunch to put into the line up. 165 is an example this year. the great Krailure "missed" with HighFrucoseCornSyrup" so he is paying him to take an O year, then paid MessAschmit to come in.

They will have at minimum 10-12 guys fighting for 4-5 spots nest year. I guess if you can pay them to take, "walk years, grey shirts, defer enrollment etc...." Then you can figure it out as time goes. Hell they had that kid who was a top recruit on the team for 6-7 years who saw the mat like 3 times. said he was an ROTC guy?????

Funny, I am not sure ROTC will pay for a kids college for 7 years anywhere other then Happy Land!!!

Want to criticize the Brands or ALL others about something???? Then point to THIS^^^^^^!!!! In 10+ years NONE have found a way to get to the F**** st level and this year might be the worse yet!!!

There should be the most ridiculous offers for Bossett, Forrest, etc.... FULL rides + SHIRT/ merchandise sales at ever home meet with a guaranteed amount of $$$$$$. Get IRONSIDE in on it. Have a deal with their OWN racks at his store!!!

Start doing SOMETHING with the damn girls team!!!! Generate $$$$$. Go to companies with women CEOs and find those who would donate $$$$ to HWC. What is the UFC partnership doing????? WHERE are the updates on this F-in NEW FACILITY!?!?!?!?

IMAGES, DRAWINGS, POSTERS hanging saying- HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS SHEET THAT IS COMING!!!! Still have not seen even ONE thing about the "meat" part of it by the way!!!! What are the HIGHLIGHTS of the STATE of the ART stuff it will have!?!?!?!?

Do they have a MARKETING program at IOWA?????

Definitely something. We’ll never know and it really doesn’t matter. The sting is lessened as time goes by.
When he had cleared his feet in the scramble, I was certain he was going to get the TD and get to work. I’d have to look back, but Lemley had some type of limp arm action (releasing pressure if you will) as Woods was turning in.
I used to like a semi-standing switch, coming up to one knee feeling forward pressure and hitting a switch. Against a nobody from a big rival I hit that and got put on my back because he stopped the forward pressure. It is a split second to make a decision as to hit the switch or just hip heist out. Woods got caught for whatever reason and it changed his psyche for the rest of the match.
I am hoping it was just a mental lapse and he’s able to move forward. A win over Bartlett is a sure fire remedy.

If this is true then give brands an F too. He deserved one already, but this is some weak shit if true.
So what is his expert cutoff time then? Is 10 minutes late okay and 11 not or is 11 okay and 20minutes not? Is a couple of hours late okay? Or maybe just eliminate the time rule all together. I get he hates Iowa but wonder if he would have the same passion for letting the rule go if it was like oh say Cael Sanderson with the complaint?

We could absolutely get skunked next week but I think we win 2 maybe 3 but won't be favored to win any. Calliendo will still be favored on paper but Mesenbrink obviously the real deal. 125, 141 (if the real Real is available) and 149 would be my picks for best chances for a win. Carl will no doubt be pumped to drop an embarrassing home goose egg on us.
I feel good about 125 and that’s about it. Real doesn’t seem himself and Bartlett keeps pulling out tight matches. 149 is a pickem. Would be shocked if anybody else won. I’d like to see Gabe at 174 just for the fun of it.

157 and 165 certainly could be wins. The way Zack wrestled AJ, that could be very interesting.
