Well, he said "Will be a good measuring stick to gauge Brands and staff's abilities to take guys that were close to the top and hopefully push them over the edge."
He didn't push anyone over the edge.

FYI you forgot no life loser
Loyalty matters to me as well, however as I interpreted trapper, the irrelevance of it is really hard to swallow. I guess wrestling follows the business world, you can’t let emotions be a part of the equation to reach the end goal.
I wish all the transfers the best and truly hope they prosper. It was exciting to watch them improve and contribute, albeit not at the level Iowa needed to compete for Championships. They are great individuals who have my respect and appreciation.
I can’t see Brands not letting them out of their scholarships and wishing them good luck to pursue their goals & dreams.
They can’t do much else, if Iowa Wrestling is to become relevant. It has to be gut wrenching for them and the pressures on them are immense.
It is really unfortunate what is happening to college sports. It’s just a free for all and has to bother a lot of coaches across all sports. There is not much loyalty on either side it appears and if you stick with loyalty, you will fall behind. It’s not what college athletics is supposed to be about.
This guy! I used to read/share his “breaking news” but I got so fed up with him that I blocked him on Twitter.
Mods - new rule that we can’t share anything from this guy who shall remain nameless?!?
Take away the last season injury on both, they well could have had a championship.
But they WERE injured. I know it's absolutely shocking an Iowa wrestler was dealing with an injury at the end of his career, but they were injured none the less.
No one here wants to see the crap this guy is throwing on the wall. Do it again and ill happily put you on ignore.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to call out @GableBeer, just getting tired of the idiot that shall not be named.
lighten up bud just think it’s funny what he’s saying
That’s why I thought it was funny, out of all people Mineo chooses Nelson to pretend to have insider info on lol.
Clueless. It’s fun narrative for the dick nose contingent though.
What makes it a narrative? Can you name another team that has had more injuries than Iowa?
My lineup predictions
125: Kale
133: Drake
141: Block
149: Parco
157: Teemer
165: Caliendo
174: Gabe
184: Nelson
197: Buchanan
285: Ben
Mineo's MO: 20-80% of this will prove to be true and he will say "I told you so!!!"
The injuries in question have NOTHING to do with “over training” or Tom using a cattle prod to get guys off bottom like some take such joy in parading.

Eierman's in particular happened right in front of our very eyes.
Impossible to say. So many factors go into it besides possibly over training. But if you remove the blame of these injuries, Iowa has still had an alarming number over the years. I hope that trend stops, but I also won’t ignore it.
i don't think this is accurate. you could be right. i'm not gonna die on this hill. but i'm told differently from compliance departments.
Classic Gobbler. Make sure you don’t forget your Kleenex next time you’re under Tom’s desk.
And just as important is he deletes what doesn’t and blocks anyone who exposes him. What he’s left with is a bunch of groupthink Hawkeye haters. It’s his core demo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. How dare you even mentioned something like that!
You’ve become super corny. Sad to see to be honest.
The usual wrestling media guys are working overtime to try and make a good thing for us look like a disaster. You’ve got to really have a tough mentally and have thick skin to wrestle for Iowa, and that’s not at the fault of the program/coaches.
149 through Heavy is pretty salty.
I went with my wife and her family shortly before her father passed away. Knowing he was on his way out he wanted to treat the entire family to it (they're all big Disney fans).
Though we never outwardly acknowledged it, we both knew we were absolutely miserable haha.
Why, why, why would you give this guy even one click much less post it here?
He's a sh1t-stirring hack!
I personally think it’s funny the level of hate he has, borderline embarrassing. He even has Jeff McGinness in the comments calling him out for being one sided.
Why isn’t this news when Penn state and Michigan do the same things?
