Make or break week imo.
Here you go. Teemer is in Ia City and Buchanan was supposed to move there over the weekend. No confirmation yet if he did.
Still not admitted as far as I know.

Teemer is such an intriguing transfer. His lifestyle and in-room (and sometimes match) effort DO NOT fit. But the dude is a winner.
I’d rather roll out kale Petersen.
5 years from now he'll be telling us how they wrestled together at Iowa.
I just want to roll out whoever is best at each weight. It's a whole new ball game now so let the chips fall where they may.
I assume you heard that while in the iowa room for an alumni practice
Here we go again, waiting on admissions, times running out. Feel like this is the same story we’ve heard before
Heard Teemer, Alirez, Figs and Buchanan. Of course that is just wishful thinking and those nice little voices in my head.
Take it for what it’s worth but I heard Teemer and Buchanan. Would love Cannon only if he can make 125 but highly doubt that happens. Ayala can’t make 125 anymore. He has cleared 145 and really doubt he can make it back down.
I wonder if the cut was a bit much last year for him. He seemed slower and hesitant early in the year but came back looking like the old no brake Drake with allowance at end of year. He will be top tier at 33 if ends up there.
Multi’s last statement said admissions was waiting on at least one of the guys, not the other way around.
First off…kiss of death.
But assuming you’re right, gross negligence by the staff to not have a better 125 than Cruz. Failure.
They had an option but he hung up his shoes but with that being said I agree with you they had plenty of time to find an option there. Here’s hoping Cruz can shock the world so to speak.
They tried to get Luke L, but he stayed in Pennsylvania at PSU. They are plugging in a blue chip guy when Drake is a senior, but he wants to redshirt.
That’s a bit dramatic. It all works out fine if the returning finalist stays at his weight one more year. It’s not like they didn’t have a stud replacement signed, who quit, and another on the way next season.
His last statement on admissions. Not literally his last statement.
They have known for the better part of two years that Jesuroga wasn’t coming. Huge fail to not have a better option.
If it happens this is a big get. Back to back 3rd place finishes.
Making excuses based on Jesuroga in summer of 24 is just silly.
Points yet again to a major recruiting issue.
Without the baggage of the other guy we tried to bring in...
1 year rental? Bummer for Ice Man, I'm guessing there were some difficult conversations this off-season.
free education and a lifetime of memories. I would trade places with him. He will get a chance to compete but we need points in the NCAA's
Glazier went 1-2 at the NCAAs as a 5th year guy. He has no one to blame but himself.
I swear, some of you are just blind to reality and deductive reasoning. Jesuroga was class of 2023 and didn’t really let anyone know for sure his plans until very late in that recruiting cycle.
At that time Iowa had Lee still going and Ayala waiting in the wings with all indications he was going to be the heir apparent at 125 for the time being. Still, Iowa went and grabbed Cruz, who was still about the best available in the transfer portal around that weight and they locked in arguably the best recruit at the weight from the class of 2025.
WTF more were they supposed to have done? More importantly, how? Mind you, by the time they truly knew what the situation was with Jesuroga, it’s not like Ayala didn’t go 125 the next season, nor were there a ton of great little guys sitting readily available from the 2024 class….
