Paolo Ciatto commits to Iowa
- Thread starter jrod65
- Start date
He trains at Empire in NY which is run by John Degl who wrestled at Iowa
This will make a lot of people stupidly angry.
I say this in the most respectful way that I can. This does not get Bo Bassett or Jax Forrest excited to come to Iowa.
He’s probably getting close to zero scholarship money. What’s the issue?
Strange people willingly go onto the internet to embarrass themselves.
The issue is that we need top 10 p4p guys not d3 guys.
Pay attention to what's going on around us. Teams are getting stronger. We need more blue chip recruits and less "room guys"
welcome aboard paolo!
side note….
it's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt

That some on here are incapable of simply congratulating a new addition to the team.
Some people are just miserable. We all love Wrestling but it is a sport at the end of the day. Have some common decency people
Or how about…
Not every guy who commits to a program is a blue chipper. Anywhere. That includes PSU now and Iowa in the Gable days.
People seem to love showing how ignorant they are.
Pretty sure it wasn’t an either or situation. We could have made room for Blaze also.
This shouldn’t even need an explanation, but thank you for putting in the work for the less fortunate.
I get what you're saying but I wouldn't worry about it too much there's the transfer portal if things don't work out and another mass exodus if Tom decides to get some hammers like this year.
Yeah but how big were the bags?
Oh, right, I forgot, that's only part of the story when discussing Iowa.
TnT cannot be stupid. WIth having to cut the roster down to 30 guys, they must see something in this kid to bring him on. I know nothing about the kid, but I have crazy respect for him as a person to be a D1 wrestler. Maybe he doesn't fulfill the dreams of some posters on this board, but he is going to be a wrestler for Iowa and that is pretty impressive.
You’re not going to fill a room with 30 blue chip guys. You need solid practice partners. Chael Sonnen had a different take on iron sharpens ironin practice that he told Bo Basset. It was interesting, need to listen to it. Supports the idea of not always practicing against guys as good as you.
Listen I love TNT and the Hawks. I welcome this kid in and hope he becomes a stud for the Hawks. My only thoughts are that the STANDARDS for Iowa should be on the same standards as PSU because ultimately that's who we are chasing down. I don’t see PSU bringing in "room guys". Their worst recruit this season is Dalton Perry who was a Super 32 runner up and PA State champ. That is scary. I follow high school wrestling hard and pay attention to recruiting. That's why I feel like I can speak on recruiting and potential recruits. With that being said Go Hawks!

Penn st has many "room guys" on the current roster. They've studs obviously. Every D1 team has and needs "room guys"
And him committing to Iowa means absolutely nothing in regards to top guys coming or not. For F sake just keep your opinions to yourself if you can't say something positive about a kid continuing to work on his goals. The negativity is tiring and contagious.
I 100% agree with you.WrestleStat | Penn State Wrestling Roster, Schedule, Eligibility Breakdown

Why would anyone get angry over a kid committing to the program? LOL. Unless it was a known criminal like AJ Ferrari or something, of course. Be angry about that, not this kid.
If you look at the PSU, OSU or Michigan roster, I promise that you'll see the names of a bunch of guys you've never heard of before.
A quick perusal of PSU's roster:
Dawson Bundy
Sam Beckett
Brian Borden
Lucas Cochran
Hayden Cunningham
David Evans
Aurelius Dunbar
Kyison Garcia
Jack Kelly
Timothy Levine
Connor Pierce
Karl Schindledecker
Sean Wang
Ty Watson
Brock Weiss
None of these guys were even close to a blue chip recruit. It takes more than blue chippers to build a good roster. You need good teammates, good people, good academics, and good practice partners to effectively build a good room/culture.
Guys like Paul Glynn are some of the unspoken heroes of programs. A lot of our stud lightweights raved about him as a practice partner and teammate.

Having guys like Kerk, Haines, DT, Ed Ruth, Wright, Nickal, Zane, Nolf, Hall etc. helps too. I really don't know why anyone is surprised that Iowa is still getting their ass kicked in recruiting. Tom has destroyed Iowa. Period.A quick perusal of PSU's roster:
