The Penn State guy complaining about tampering lol
Official Portal Watch
- Thread starter eb05
- Start date
Maybe also a guy they forgot didn’t have any eligibility left lol.
In this case, we'll all see more action from Michigan at 157.
hey at least people are saying it about a team other than Iowa this offseason
I think there's so much questionable stuff going on and the NCAA doesn't have the manpower to investigate everything, so pretty much anything goes.
Nah, that smell is just Ann Arbor
What are the rules for NIL guys? It's seems like the Wild West out there, and some groups are more aggressive than others pushing NIL. The NCAA is nearly dead (good thing) but there needs to be something in place to police outside influences. We've swung the pendulum too far the other way I fear. This will bite sports when one of these purchased athletes point shaves as a return favor. It will happen. Human nature and money are a bad mix. We always close the barn door after the fact.
You aren’t imagining this. In the portal, not in the portal, none of that matters to Michigan because they know that the NCAA is toothless
And what if those guys don’t call the coaches? But suddenly like magic a Michigan offer appears out of thin air
Oh the Hawks are still playing the game, but Michigan is just on a completely different level right now and they DGAF if it is legit or not, or who knows about it
Michigan has proven that its RTC will support those that want to wrestle internationally for other countries. Gomez for Mexico, Micic for Serbia, the Amine’s, etc. I’m assuming that played into Saldate decision.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing USA wrestling pull their funding from that RTC if they’re not going to wrestle for USA.

Not talking about him. Talking about a guy who is done but they mistakenly thought he had another year left.
Maybe it would help if you were much more specific.
Yea, when your rules compliance basically requires you to self police and self report, I would say some teams take advantage of that. Shocker, there hasn't been a lot of self reporting going on.
I heard his Brother Nate was taking his spot on the roster......
Probably not a good indication Nate is coming to Iowa. I wonder if Joel joins the Navy squad.
Guys don't typically come back on top of their game after a 2 year layoff anyway. Nobody should be looking to Jesuroga as a major impact in the future.
Tell that to Brock Hardy and other guys who took Morman missions to come back and do quite well. The kid has been in the Navy. It's not like he's in the bars and sleep eating chips on the couch.
Would be a bit of A-nother KICK in the BALLS if Nate comes back and IOWA "loses" him again!!!As was said, his brother leaving does not make you feel good about landing him!!!
As for time off, how will he do etc..... I would certainly take my chances and like my chances with a kid that was at his level!!!
TnT and company have to leave NO stone unturned as they say! If Brody G gets a year from the POS BS NCAA, and wants to come back. You gotta take a look!!!!! We are at DefCon RED!!!

Nate is gone. Accept it. Best of luck to him.
Question - I don't know this, that's why I am asking. Please don't attack me....
Was Joel Jesuroga, Carter Martinson, Carson Martinson and Bretli Reyna getting much (or any) scholarship money? If so, do you think these they left on their own accord or is it possible the Coaches are clearing $$ to bring in some transfers? I wouldn't normally think Tom would cut-out anyone but in this new age of NIL you never know...

I’m just guessing that Martinson’s and Jesuroga will all end up at the same place now that there parents are married. Wherever they end up I wish them all the best and hopefully will get quality mat time. Great young men and great families
Tommy Askey from App st just entered the portal. Will probably be the preseason #5 at 157
And I know Iowa was high on his list coming out of HS..
He just did not have the resume at that time to command the offer he was seeking!
New ballgame now!!
guys want to wrestle not ride the pine, Iowa needs guys competing for AA status at each weight.
These people Mormon or something?
Iowa needs guys competing for the top half of podium at each weight. We get too attached to our guys with the bottom half of the podium as a realistic ceiling.
Not sure if we get too attached to guys on the bottom half of the podium or just struggle to consistently get guys who can make it to the top half. Either way, hoping we can get/do better.
I would love to see this kid in the black and gold singlet. He flat took it to chittum first round at ncaas and looked fantastic. The one thing I hate about the portal however is the loss App.state has to take. They got solid guys every year and I hate to see smaller programs whom have good coaches out working their tail off to find these kids then lose them a year or two later. I really hope in the near future some rules of some sort tighten down when a kid can move and the number of times in a career.
