Is this possible?? Can we do it???

Recruiting via DNA
- Thread starter pinters
- Start date
I don't think researchers have figured out a way to hijack DNA to make someone want to attend a specific school. But I can ask my microbiology professor if you like. 
Well TnT did recruit Nelson Brands so I would say yes you can recruit via DNA
The great thing about this thread is it can be about anything you like
So we could get the DNA we want and start cloning? They say Iowa wrestlers are robots anyway. Get some DNA from Taylor Dake and Burroughs, throw in a little Clark in case they get injured, put it together and we got it made.The great thing about this thread is it can be about anything you like

Throw in a little Metcalf DNA in there as well (DNA obtained before the DNA damage that occurred which prompted him to coach at ISU of course).
With funding from the athletic department, I would be happy to perform whole genome sequencing on prospective recruits. We then place them into tiers after their careers based on success, and compare commonly expressed genes. This would allow us to genetically select wrestlers based on their DNA. Based on my experiences with looking at differentially expressed genes in cancer, I'm guessing we'd need a minimum of 500 or so recruits. This would take being ahead of the curve to a completely knew level. We would win the recruiting battle and I could have a Science paper. I need about 30 years and 20 million dollars

Are we assuming facemushers are born as opposed to developed?

Multiple brother/cousin families? Get the oldest & hope the rest follow suit? The Nevills, Jordans, Thorns, Manvilles, etc [lil bro Carson been newsworthy lately, with another bro Pierson to follow].
Brands is father/son, so that's a big gap. There's another Ed Ruth coming up, but that's only 1 younger brother, so not sure if you're including duos?
Is this what you're getting at?
Let's have a banquet! Raise that dough in a few hours.
Like the Sandersons - then the entire family can crap on you.
I hope they are all "Good" because you know what they say about "One bad happel and the whole bunch."

Throw some Karelin in there as well, dude was a monster!
What do you want, wrestling to turn into the human version of horse-racing, where athletes retire before the prime of their career to cross-breed the perfect racehorse (or wrestler)? "Rich Bender just decreed that we're going to cross-breed Kyle Snyder and Helen Maroulis, everybody!"
Not sure which is more appropriate here, shake my head, smack my head, or smash my head.

I'm sure Snyder likes this idea. I won't speak for Maroulis.
I'd rather we cross bred Snyder with Serena Williams...the athletes they would produce would come out of the womb built like a tank.
I hope we're not forced into careers based upon our DNA.
I'd have a hard time looking myself in the mirror if I were a porn star.

My favorite Serena Williams moment is when she got all emotional during her walk to the chair at the end of "The Green Mile."
Savage. I don't know if I've ever ectually lol'd when I typed it in the past, but this time I actually did.
