new recruit

So does this mean that all the people in the post about night of conflict who claimed Happel wasn't a big deal to get anymore are over it or are they still freaking out about how he lost?

Of course. This is HR, the good is always better than reality, and the bad is always worse.

any chance Happel could spend a season at 33? Would be perfect having him at 33 and Wagner at 25 in two years when Gilman and Clark are gone.

I'm happy he chose the Hawks. I'm still disappointed in his performance, as I'm sure he is. He has a lot of work to do to reach the NCAA finals, and as a team that's where we need him to be--in 2 years, not 4 or 5. As of today he has 9 high school guys ahead of him in his weight class, much less NCAA guys. So that's a big gap to make up between now and March 2017. All I can do now is root for him.

I'd say no, don't plan on it.

Not true, they don't call Willie "Pringles Can" for nothing.

I can honestly say I didn't know they called him that. Speaking from experience perhaps?

Congrats to both Happel and Wagner! How many more recruits have to mention M* and how he was part of the reason they chose Iowa before people like WEH8STATE eat crow?

I'm sure training with the Eastern Iowa WC didn't hurt the chances of him picking Iowa.

Anyone other recruits for this year or does that fill up the class. I understand 50 people will say Hall but let's turn the page on that one - he's not coming. It's a solid class!

On to next year with Lee and Berge on the radar!?! Of course Mejia and Rentria onboard already!

I thought Rathbun, Colbray, Clingenpeel, Deggen, and Karsten have all had Iowa on there radar and non of them have committed yet. I have heard that one of these kids is going his official visit 11-14-15.
