Recruiting

No, I'm saying they beat Iowa by over 100 points last year. I'll take that bet if you want. LOL.
Oh, OK, did not know we are using last year considering both teams are so much different. Yes on the bet that F*** st does not beat IOWA by 100 points!
 
Totally agree! Letting Taylor go to Okie State was a significant miss by Iowa. He will build a dynasty at OSU by recruiting top talent, similar to Cael. Brands can't compete with those guys on the recruiting trail. Not even close. Let's see where these programs are over the next few years. My guess is it will be PSU / Okie State and then everyone else and that next tier won't even be close.

Yeah, Iowa just "let them" do it. LOL.

Yet another terrible board take.
 
With roster sizes limited to 30, there are way too many good wrestlers for there only to be 2 great teams. Iowa will be relevant as long as college wrestling is still a sport.
I agree, and unless you are defining "relevant" as a contender for the national title, they are clearly very much relevant right now this year. Penn State is obviously in the middle of a historic run of dominance that will rival the best eras of Ok St and Iowa history, but Iowa is arguably the second best team in the country right and if not second, at the very least in the second tier of programs below Penn State alone in tier 1. That is "relevant" by almost anyone's definition.

Thanks for defining all this for us.
 
Thanks for confirming "Now" meant acquisitions after this season and then March 2026.
Thanks for continuing to make yourself look foolish!!! I mean I would love to know what you could possibly be doing with your life!?!?!?

"TIME IS NOW" reading comprehension "other" being or whatever you call yourself??? Do you NOT understand the timeframe of building a team??? Kind of simple, but why do you think there is so much talk about recruiting, transfers etc......?

I mean I gave my 2 cents about what SIR IRON would be planning, doing, or trying to put together IF I was an IOWA coach. I stated what I felt was a simple plan. Obviously having the younger Ferrari on the team, should give you some possible INSIGHT into what AJ is thinking moving forward? Also you most likely have a good feel for putting the TWOOOOO brothers on the same team????

I would be open to it IF ALL "requirements" were met. My plan B would be that recent decommit for filling 197. My plan A down in the lower/mid-weights would be BO & Jax with the Raney Brothers plan AA and for me, I would be weighing the costs each will take to make it happen.

In other words while I want BO, I am not exactly sure how much I would pay to get him??? I feel the possible "pipeline" he opens up, MIGHT be worth whatever it takes, but you need to be an insider maybe to get that feel for the whole "package"!!!

I would also add in Ross if he is going to choose wrestling and/or if he is going to try the TWOOOO sport thing like Ben? This is just most of the BIG names in the recruiting front that I would be after, plenty of others I would be eyeing. Then you have the Portal with a handful of kids that you should be keeping an eye on!!!

Next time you are having troubles, just say so and I will help you along again!!!

You're 💯 right. Each step to a goal must be taken in the present. And when some steps are stumbles, the next best step would be advisable. I believe Iowa's AD have already considered AJ a stumble, so alternate plans for 197 would be wise.

Seriously doubt TnT would go down that road. More likely RUCrackers' rumors refer to both Ferrari's driving off to the Jersey Shore.

Iowa missed a massive opportunity. Timing is everything and they decided not to get into the Taylor sweep stakes. So yea, that’s letting them do it. The reality is that once osu gets rolling, Iowa ain’t catching them. Accept it or keep LOLing yourself to 4th place every year.

This is up there for one of the dumbest takes ever posted on HR. But with 1,911 posts and 203 likes, seems like par for the course with you
 
Jax 10-7 over Jayden Raney in OT. Gotta get one of these guys in black and gold.

Harvey Ludington is in town this weekend. Would love to take another from the Sun Devils.
Seems like a strange weekend for a visit with the team on the road Friday for double evening duel and no home duel or football game. Maybe only weekend that works for him? We are the best team looking at him. Were we recruiting him before he committed to Arizona State??

Not sure. I’m just going off @west2east report that he’d be in town this weekend.

Maybe his visit didn’t start until Saturday. He only recently de committed and with the signing period open there’s no time to pussyfoot around.

Looks like he hit 2-3 schools already. Hopefully he commits to us after the visit.

Well, over here goalposts have a way of moving.

I seem to recall you stating a year or two ago that the field was level and that Iowa would not have to wait multiple years to contend for a national title. When pressed you said that would be 2024-25.

How's that working out for you? We're coming up on 2025. You want to try again?

Where did I say that changed?

I just so very appreciative of you Blue and Whites coming over to help us out.

Cornell is still going to get their share of elite recruits.
