That is pretty useless information. You could recruit 5 kids ranked from 90 to 100 every year for 10 years and top this list. A list of top 5, 10, 15, or 20 kids would be much more informative.
Recruiting?
- Thread starter CatCoach
- Start date
I guess these high ranked kids don’t do their homework and see that tOSU underperforms their talent level consistently. Cornell does as a team, but have had decent individual results, and they have the pull of getting an Ivy League degree.
Top 100 isn’t an indicator of recruiting prowess or success. Top 100 doesn’t define blue chip. Not by a long shot.
Right? A top 100 kid is theoretically in the top 3-4 hundred for all classes, eh?
I am sure one of the math wizs could run simulations and they would prove out that Iowa would win 60-70% of the time, PSU would win 20-25% of the time, cornell X%, OSU x% and so on. Iowa was the heavy favorite, but there was likely a 30% chance someone else could win. To quote a crappy head coach....thats why they play the game
Read your posting history here on HR. You tell me.
I just ran the simulations. As expected, was an 82.8% probability Iowa wins that year. Round up if you like.
No no no, now you sound just like your boy ironturd, you make a claim with nothing factual, never anything to back it up. Facts hurt
Has anyone else heard about Dee Lockett being in Iowa City?
My ISU buddy said they have some big, surprise recruit flipping to them soon. Out of curiosity, I looked at The Mat forums and one of the guys on there is saying that Lockett is in Iowa right now training.
Or maybe "to Iowa" meant Iowa State?

If he does flip to ISU that is a massive win for the clones He looks the part of a multi time national champion.Has anyone else heard about Dee Lockett being in Iowa City?

Since the ISU board is blowing up about them flipping a big commitment I would think he’s training in Ames
Willie did confirm on The Mat that Dee is training in Ames.

Lol, um, because I asked the question after the post on the mat said "to Iowa" not Iowa State.
Also, if he is going to ISU, that's pretty big news that will no doubt be discussed on this board.
If true, Lockett would be the second major defection from OSU to ISU since DT was announced as head coach for the Pokes.
This isnt New news. Iowa has been recruiting him for awhile now. He took one of his official visits to Iowa but ultimately choose osu. I figure Iowa sees him as taking over for Caliendo after a RS and later moving up to 174 possibly after Arnold?
Lots of interesting analysis of the last decade in college wrestling recruiting.
God I hope so, lol. If he's open for business, we should definitely be trying to get into that business.
full article was just posted
According to @kornucopia on the PSU board both Tom and Terry talked to the Raney’s. I don’t know if he listed them in order of calls or not but he did list Iowa first.
@smalls103 Let's go! Fire up the mic and get a show rolling to discuss the past decade recruiting, news on Dee Lockett, possibly some Fargo stuff? Anything but Aj Ferrari. Thanks in advance! We love ya!
Let's change that order to
1. Bassett
2. Lockett(If he is really in play)
3. Raney Brothers
4. Melvin Miller
5. Hutcherson
I just don't think we are anywhere close to getting Blaze.
You are Willie. It used to be cute and now is sad.
1000000% not Willie. But I do enjoy putting my ear pods in at work and listening to his shows. I have nothing at all against Willie. I think he is great for our sport.
2015-2019 finished 1,3,2,2,2
2020-2022 was bad
2023 finished 4th (last year of team trophy for 4th place)
2024 would have finished 2nd if Sasso doesnt get shot (or possibly 3rd if Iowa doesnt have gambling suspensions)
6 team trophies in 10 years included in Willie's 10 year recruiting numbers
3 bad years
I was at Ohio State most of the 90s when the wrestling program was a glorified club team... the above, to me, is like playing with house money
Blaze hasn’t committed yet so we should still be going hard after him.
I would hope Iowa is going hard after him still. I just personally think he ends up at tOSU or PSU.
I know you didn’t just give me the PSU motto!?!
