Broward County tournament this weekend. Both of his boys already in the semifinals. One at 160 is a 7th grade. The other at 195 is a freshman. They are good. Real good.
Mocco’s kids
- Thread starter SoFla-Hawkeye
- Start date
7th grader lost 3-2 in the finals. 9th grader stuck his guy.
Would his kids consider IOWA? Not sure if there was any bad blood when he left?
He loves Tom and Terry. He left when Tom left.
The FR, Michael, was double Fargo AA last year. 5th in the FS bracket dreshaun won and runner up in GR.
from what i can tell, he continues to make jumps, too.

The freshmen is at 195
He wants them both at HWT. Says it is easier to wrestle when you don't have to cut. 1 less thing to worry about. 2 years ago my son was at 152 and Mikey was his sparring partner. He has put on good weight. Thick, not cut. Like a bear. Like his dad.
Both won a Broward County championship this past weekend. Mikey as a sophomore. Peter as an 8th grader. Really fun to watch. Relentless.
Personal opinion: open up the checkbook for Mocco as head assistant. Ask Terry to take over HWC, then make a push for Kem Dawg and Metcalf if bridges aren’t burned beyond repair. If they are, we need to seriously assess the state of the program. Fact is we aren’t getting elite recruits, and we simply aren’t developing the guys we are getting. This should keep the “only Hawk” donors happy. If it doesn’t work, we have to blow it up and rebuild. Sad to say.
I think if you’re going to shake up the coaching staff and open up the checkbook you need to set your sights higher than Mocco and Metcalf. Cox and Nolf would resonate with current recruits much more than Mocco and Metcalf IMO.
Brent Metcalf was the best Iowa style wrestler in the last 15 to 20 years. Matt McD was another one. Multiple NCAA Champs. Those 2 should be on staff and add a big guy like Mocco or Cox or Snyder and then maybe Spencer in a few years. Far above the assistants we have now.
I would love to bring being Matt McD back into the fold, I think I like the Mocco idea also.
Except mcdonough wants nothing to do with being a full time coach.
Mocco to the wrestling staff would be just a slight upgrade over Telford…. Jk it would be awesome! Not to mention his kids look to be dam good and probably has friends Iowa would want too.
if his kids are elite prospects I won't get my hopes up for them coming to Iowa
Both of Steve’s boys qualified for state this past weekend. Peter at 195 is an 8th grader. Michael at 215 is a sophomore and won a championship last year.
You are WRONG!!! flood gates are OPENING!!! IOWA wrestling is still KING of the ratings and the fans just got to see who the BEST coaches are!!!
TnT and staff have put together a pretty amazing run all things considering. NIL is leveling the field and the HAWKS have many things going for them moving forward.
A few pieces added to the proposed best line up for next season, and IOWA is back on top!!!
You might wanna dial it back on the coffee.
Yeah, well that tracks he was a career 125er.
A sig automatically appears on every post you make.
Steve's son, Peter, will be facing fellow 8th grader Jeremiah Chavis in his final. Chavis' father, Chris, was better known as Tatanka in the 90s WWF.
Why do you post your stupid username every time you post?
Regardless of your hilarious ignorance, that’s Ricky Effing Stanzi and he loves America. Your words are fighting words.
State champions both! Good day to be a MOCCO!!! And let me say it again, they are both better kids than they are wrestlers!
I think these kids would be awesome at Iowa and I think they will be amazing wrestlers in the future. I just tend to pump the brakes a bit on Florida 1A. My buddy moved to Florida from PA last year. His son was never able to crack a lineup, and actually quit wrestling for a few years. He joined a 1A team this year, and went like 30-6. Helps having a stud for a father, just hoping they can get some good competition to develop. I love these kids style, and think that would fit perfect at Carver.
Would love to have them, however Dreshaun Ross is priority #1 at their weight.
No bad blood. Mocco loves Terry and Tom. It is possible they end up at Okiest and Iowa though. Steve has said that was the kids' plan at one time.
No need to pump the brakes on a "1A" kid. Simply depends on how they do nationally. And the older Mocco has done well there. And he's a good athlete.
ain't nobody getting recruited for their Florida credentials.
