You want Chittum? I'm not sure I want him seems like a cancer to me.
No AJ
- Thread starter vhsalum
- Start date
Compared to Ferrari he is cancer free
That’s the part that bothers me most. They lost Chittum due to documented bad behavior by the middle Ferrari. Big bruh never made it to the starting line. Not sure if younger Ferraris will ever be on team. That can’t help recruiting.
What was Tom thinking?
Why? It's worked for 40+ years and keeps us in the top 5 year in and year out. PSU'w run will come to an end eventually, they aways do. Ok St, Iowa etc.
Now bringing in a few new styles isn't a bad thing. But the Hawk formula works and most teams mimic it. It's a recruiting thing and it'll get figured out. The NIL is a game changer and Iowa will figure it out. Carl has it figured out right now, but other teams will catch up.
Umm ok…..multiple on here have recommended contacting Nolf, Taylor, Casey and even Cael…..yet so many on here say Cael is trash….every other post on here references psu just like every other post on bwi mention Iowa
Agree but I would also look at Max Askren. Max quietly does an excellent job coaching at AWA. Kind of flys under the radar.
You're a very patient man. PSU's run has lasted 13 years and there's no reason to think it'll end anytime soon. I have less confidence that Tom will figure it out; he's had 13 years, and absent hitting the jackpot in the portal, the team looks to have some lean years coming up.
I want wrestlers who wrestle under our coaches and trust them. Chittum clearly didn't have that. I trust TNT to make the decision on the Ferraris
I like our guys. Cael would be an upgrade though. It's never going to happen and I'm totally fine with that.
If chittum would have signed in the fall, who knows if they still persue Anthony hard in the spring. I’m sure it helped with Angelo, but Anthony said he told his brother to take all his visits, and not just follow his brother, like he did when he committed to Oklahoma state without taking other visits.
I know nothing about the signing process with Chittum. Just what I read here. But I do know the Ferraris carry some heavy baggage. Luckily AJ can hella dead lift.
Do you guys really think Chittum was the only potential Hawkeye recruit to be turned off by the idea of having the Ferrari clan in tbd same program?
Chittum had plenty of trust until they decided to do business with the very same douchebags who got kicked out of his high school after they got into a fight. That’s like a direct slap in the face.
Patience for sure, but we did just win two titles (covid aside) recently, and PSU has yet to show they can win more than four in a row without punting a year to line things up. Should be opportunities to jump in and take one again. This year is screwed because of gambling, not because of poor recruiting, otherwise it'd be an easy second place again. It doesn't have anything to do with figuring anything out, unless they found a way to get a waiver on the gamblers. Those guys screwed the team, that wasn't Brands doing and if he knew they were going to screw up he wouldn't have had to try and find a quick solution this year, he'd have planned for it three years ago.
Lol….she’s exactly what Iowa needs .
Sign her to a lengthy deal. More stones in 6 months than the former clown showed his entire career
Yes. She’s done everything right so far, just not everything the way the Brands do it.
For what it's worth... I'm on Team ZG, regardless of anyone else in the discussion. Has been a warrior this year.
I don't think Spencer will have any coaching gig on his mind until after he has a Oly and a few world medals around his neck. Following the Brands in 2029 might just work out about right.
Meh, he’s probably fine. Pretty typical low bar squat. Course, he also strikes me as someone who would ego lift. At least he is using safety bars.
If Arnold takes off the redshirt all the replacements for the suspended are better except HWT.
maybe tom might actually have lower himself and go out and try to recruit for a change.
not a problem at all if you are satisfied with continually getting out recruited and just trying to finish in the top 5 or 6 at nationals.
If Gabe takes off the redshirt, it will most likely be to wrestle 174, which means you still have 184 where both of the top two are suspended.
He’s just so misunderstood. Every. Time.
God this, God that, he doesnt slap his opponents in the ass... blah..blah...blah blahh blah blah.
That’s wild. Iowa has a TON of financial resources, top notch facilities, huge tradition, and the Gable tree means there’s a bevy of good coaches to pick from. Any changed shouldn’t be expected to be more than a Blip.
Yeah a guy who’s never coached in college and has been running a club for a decade is an “obvious” choice to take over one of the top 2
Jobs in the country. Please. This job will attract sitting HCs and the very top assistants in the country.
He shat on Flo, noted that the Oklahoma thing was false - that’s why the district attourney dropped it. Some complaining about officiating in final match. Noted that glazier said some very personal things after the match before the altercation.
