No top talent, or a big enough collection of top talent seems to want to stay committed and see if they could help win championships at Iowa right now, in just about every sport. You look at the defections in football, and even basketball has missed on some potential big names, and now Teasdale and the whole issue of having to change our recruiting strategy to ever get back to competing with Penn State and not let them become the UConn women of college wrestling.
It's honestly just an Iowa thing. Kids, and possibly (probably) their parents and other adult figures in their lives just don't want to see them go to Iowa and maybe build a title contender in sport and when they could just keep the green pastures at the big schools as green as possible for years to come with no f***ing end in sight.
It's f***ing garbage, but that's the facts.
And until the leftover talent that Iowa has and will continue to get, along with whatever coaching staff it is, pulls their heads out of their arses and starts massively over achieving again for multiple years in a row......and other mid tier teams stop trying to get in our way because they think we're some kind of f***ing stepping stone or proving point to make a name for themselves (Northwestern, you f***ing a**hole goons), things are going to remain the same into the foreseeable future.
Deal with it.
