MOCCO IS A HAWKEYE!!

What is Michael Mocco’s weight right now? Doesn’t look like a very big Hwt, but does look like he has the frame to put on weight.

I asked Jimmy Z about releasing Mocco at that time. He told me that if Steve didn’t want to be at Iowa then he wouldn’t get in his way. He also said that Mocco had a redshirt and an Olympic redshirt so he wouldn’t lose eligibility no matter what but again made it very clear he wouldn’t block Mocco’s transfer no matter what.

Hand size? Shoe size? Arm length? Waste? Inseam? Chest? Bicep?

I think we all need to get a real handle on his proportions before we pass judgement. TIA!

Are you thinking that he should graduate early and cut to 197 and go second semester? B/c we haven't had a crazy weight cutting scenario in about a week.

Here is Mocco's U17 World title run (4 matches).

Wow! Kid moves like a middle weight. Love the low singles and ankle picks. He's gonna be a fun one to watch develop.

I remember in that Mocco documentary on Flo when Steve is talking about leaving Iowa after winning a National title.

He said that he lost at the World Team trials and Okie St had multiple Olympians in the room at the time and Tom had taken the job at VA Tech. He didn’t know how he was going to make a World Team at VA Tech, so he reached out to the Iowa staff and they granted him a release, no hard feelings. People remember how you treat them. If they had been shitty to him while he was trying to chase down his dream, he would’ve remembered and likely relayed that to Mike.
Obviously, he still has a ton of respect for the Brands and I imagine has nothing but good things to say about them to his boy.

There is some really cool footage of Terry training Mocco and Cejudo for the Olympics as well.

I am sure Steve shared with his son how tough it is to wrestle in Carver as an opponent and how great it is to be in a Hawkeye singlet. There is nowhere harder for an opponent to wrestle, than in Carver.
