Rocky Elam to Iowa State

Do you really think a guy would want to come into a big program with the biggest fan base and good partners for a year, then know he has to find another home, probably a down grade, for his last year?
Absolutely. Has the opportunity to place high and raise his value for either us — or other programs.
 
Makes you wonder if Ferrari will develop into a 197? Bro AJ looks like a big 197. It looks like the cut is some real work. Angelo seems to have the same build. Big frame dudes really start to naturally gain 3-5 lbs a year after hitting 18.

Angelo was smaller than most 84s he wrestled. I don’t know that he wants to cut a lot of weight. But yea, the Ferraris put in serious work in the weight room.

Agree. I put him at a healthy 178 right now. The way his frame naturally grows I bet in 6-7 months he will be all of 184. A.J.'s frame seems to still be wanting to grow. He is a big 197 right now. A dude that would probably be at his athletic peak at 205-210. I could see Angelo by Fall of 2026 be in the 190's and a cut being too unhealthy.
 
If we were to get a guy like Mirasola with 4 years left, the smart play would be to keep him. He’s damn good.
He’s an AWA guy so I doubt he comes here. Also I don’t think it’s a great fit assuming he wants to wrestle with his brother.

Yeah but other than being an AWA guy, not being in the portal, being the same weight as one of the big time incoming freshman recruits, and likely wanting to wrestle with his twin brother he would be a PERFECT fit.

One might have similar comments about you and a certain part of AJ’s anatomy. You know, someone other than me. But definitely someone.
Interesting retort. I pretty much gave you a compliment there, while you came at me with a not so vague dig at homo erotic penis worship. Sort of like shooting someone for praising your dedication even if it is over the top…

A) That wasn’t really a compliment but I enjoyed the metaphor

B) Smile and laugh. It’s ok.

I promise you with all my heart that is was much more compliment than any kind of insult. It was a play on the “like a dog on a bone” saying complimenting your tenacity. Once you go after something, much like The Terminator, you will keep coming and will not stop until the target is dead and gone and I added in eating the remains for a more dramatic effect.

Oh, and I was smiling and laughing when I said it and whole heartedly laughed with how over the top your response was!
 
AJ was MUCH bigger MUCH earlier. You gotta remember there was talk initially that Angelo could have gone 165 early on and was likely at 174 if he went somewhere else.

I am all for making the best possible lineup, but that in no way should have anything to do with pushing that much talent out of his best weight class. This is especially true when you already used his redshirt. He has a real chance to win 184 and I wouldn’t mess with that one bit…
Amen! I don't like reading about ideas with playing with Caliendo's and Angelo's weights. They are absolute studs who will likely make it to the finals and perhaps win it all. I wouldn't risk that...I would want them at their best weight for them. Just my opinion.
