Partners: Delgado 2X National Champion, Gilman 2017 World Team Member, Daniel Dennis 2016 Olympian, Cory Clark, current NCAA National Champion, Matt McDonough, 2X National Champion, Spencer Lee, Jr. World Champion and then two guys named Tom and Terry Brands to chip in... are you kidding me! If you're a 125, 133 or even 141 and looking to transfer or commit, is there a better place anywhere for partners? I guess you have to throw in Mark Perry who coached Delgado as well...
Serious question:is there a better place to train in America for a 125/133?

- Start date
Yes. It's Rutgers. Have you seen their home schedule this year?

Serious answer: It's not as clear cut as you might think. Looking at the last 20 years AA's:
IA----------27 AA
MN--------26
OK St-----24
PSU-------15
Corn-------14
IL-----------14
NE---------10
last 10 years:
IA--------------------17
MN------------------14
PSU, IL, Corn----9
Okie St-------------8
It's only when you look at the AA placements do you see IA and Okie St dominance:
IA 125) --------------------3245121682233
IA 133) --------------------12212327266113
Ok St 125)----------------4785166631
Ok St 133)----------------55214126831211

It may be a serious question, but it's also a rhetorical one. Fortunately, everyone in the wrestling community knows the answer. . . including a certain 133-pounder who decided not to take advantage of the best lightweight room on the planet. He still has time to right a wrong, however.
Warnerov and Stoll will bolster the upper weights and we have some horses in the middle, too. Heading squarely in the right direction.
Make no mistake -- the goal is to become the top room for every weight, from 125 through 285. I like where we're headed.

Lot of work for nothing there.
The tone of this "serious question" is around recruits making decisions now.
Not past eras like when Mack Reiter was under 200lbs. for example.
No I don't. You have TNT in the room and can only produce one more AA at 125 & 133! Meanwhile Minny has dominated Iowa at 197 & hvy. Maybe it is just random as to what weights do well and has nothing to do with coaching.

Bitter/jealous troll. Who has been the 57kg freestyle representative for the U.S. the last 4 years?
You showed us that Iowa has had the best results. And that is without factoring in two time NCAA champ in Delgado and multiple world champion in Lee in the room.
As to your second sentence, TNT weren't running the program 20 years ago.
Just the same, I wouldn't argue that Minny isn't greater than Iowa 197/HWT. That isn't really the subject at hand.
You mean King Cole Konrad who received over 84% of the all-time hvy votes:
Shelton Benjamin AA 5,3 0 (0%)
Cole Konrad 155-13, AA 4,2,1,1 ....3rd with 50 pins, 2nd in career wins, 1st with 76 consecutive wins 70 (84.3%)
Brock Lesnar 55-3, AA 2,1 ...... 23 pins, tied 1st for career winning % 7 (8.4%)
Garret Lowney AA 3,5 0 (0%)
Tony nelson 131-16, AA 7,1,1,2 .... 9th in career wins 6 (7.2%)
Billy Pierce 142-26, AA 5,6,6 ..... 2nd in career pins with 51, 4th in career wins 0 (0%)
This is half of the equation. The other half is post collegiate success....Ramos --> Dennis --> Gilman are the last 4 World Team guys at 57 kg for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
jammies i was just trolling the troll, i do not question minnys success with the bigger guys( heck we got one for a coach), but i do find it feeble for you to compare yours against ours in the lighter weights and i'm sure you know it's true if your being honest about it.
Serious question-when discussing heavyweights, who gets to claim Mocco, you or us?
Good question as the accolades were the same at both schools. However, I always thought of him as more of a football player at OSU so we'll claim him
Well, if the Gophers can't have their own three time champ, at least they can say they stopped one. How's that for a consolation?
Is this a serious question? It's not even debatable. If you want to be a Champ and or multiple AA at 125 or 133 you go to Iowa. Oh wait the last 3 reps for USA at 56k is a Iowa trained wrestler. Sorry that is just fact!! There is NOBODY better at developing those 2 weights...
It is most certainly the best place for lightweights to train in the USA.
A better question: Is IC the best place for lightweights to train in the world?

Yup, Spencer Lee said he did 56 straight pull ups.
Dennis overheard that and said,"I did 112"...just saying
