Might as well beat a dead horse. Actually 2 titles one official one, the covd year, unofficial. That team was better then the team that won it and DESTROYED the field at B1Gs!
You can take a look at just a few weight class and get a real understanding. 197 and heavy in my opinion are the 2 hardest weights to fill. My person opinion is 197 is the hardest. In any case. F*** kale not only had an AA guy at 1 of these weights, he had 1 at each AND "recruited" OVER them both.
I will give you an opportunity to show me ANYWHERE that this has EVER happened in either weight classes? The reason it can be done, is $$$/9.9 is not an issue. If you look at 197, Beard is darn good, and he might have had 4 years left due to cvid? It doesn't even make sense to think about bringing dean in, unless you don't have to even consider if you will have enough funds to bring in another top guy.
That point is strengthened by the fiasco at 125. Since soriano left, who was #1 or so. Just take a look at how many TOP guys they have brought in at this weight. It is unreal!!! One or more EVER year, not a problem.
Now think about some of the guys IOWA missed on. There has been a few "busts" hate to use that word but it is what it is. Remember how it hurt the team because so much scholly $$$ was tied up. Not only that, but you could not maybe go after another kid, because you choose to sign someone else.
This recruiting game is a bit of a crap shoot. Not ever kid is going to pan out, and sometimes there are diamonds in the ruff. If however you have no limits and can keep swinging for the fences. Well your odds go way up.
It is not like anyone with 1/2 a brain or thinking with any logic does not understand this. The F*** people want everyone to believe that the great Kael invented the wheel. All the other coaches just could not figure it out. " how is he winning????" Well Tom, John, dick and harry, he is out recruiting all of you combined!!! He has more #1s more top 5s, more top 10s then if you put all your teams together and made 1.
"OHHHHHH, why don't we do that???" " You think it is a good idea? " "wait, how in hell is he doing that!?!?!??!" Well some rich alumni gave him 6 million to play with and with no oversight= game on!!
Now, it happened, deal with it, figure it out, do what has to be done to play on that level!
and
NO need for any F*** bandwagon board talking BS fan to try and say otherwise.
Yes, it is all about Ira. He provided the dough and Cael spent it. And, he spent it well, see all the Titles. But them times are over when they had effectively 5-6 more schollies than everybody else.
Use MSU's methodology to insert the 2023 class to our next years team. Many may redshirt, but put their p4p number to the weight. The playing field is leveling, by MSU's calc. As to bringing in an elite guy or two during "non-haul years", I believe we will. The proof is in the puddin on transfers too.
Game on Ped State
Dake and Nolf are in the same weight class. Part of your shtick is Cael promises recruits a stint as a stipended resident athlete in the NLWC as a guarantee to entice them. I presented Hall and Joseph as an example that clearly contradicts your lame assertion. That Snyder, Dake, and Gillman are also non-PSU recruits at the NLWC further undercuts your lame assertion. It demonstrates one doesn't not need to wrestle for PSU to earn the benefit you allege Cael promises.
PACrazy uncle ironbird is off his meds again.
Holy hell what an embarrassing post. Every last Iowa wrestling fan should be mortified that your name will be associated with their wrestling facility. You continue to represent your university with the least class possible.
And you seem to forget which Big Ten program undeniably broke the rules and utilized more than their allotted scholarships during their long ago heyday.
Obviously this is an Iowa board and most guys here probably don’t want to upset someone who is willing to try to salvage a sunken ship, but I would hope that if money were no issue the collective group of normal posters on here would work to distance themselves as much as possible from the likes of you.
Anyway, I expect a few “no, YOU” type replies, as is customary here.
Some good points here, although again I most point out that there is zero evidence of any of the allegations of impropriety (athlete payments, steroids) this board loves to bandy about. Meanwhile it’s well documented that Gable cheated with regards to scholarships for several years (or “expanded” the scholarships, to borrow an unbelievably laughable phrase from bnicolls.)Welcome to the posters from out east who have joined the fray to defend the honor of their team.
It is interesting to see the ‘it’s not about the money’ approach. Just look at the pro athletes that claim ‘it’s not about the money’ usually it’s about the money. Your consistent denial and deflection on that subject is numerous. We can get into camp counselor money, huge nest egg, nlwc prospects for money, etc. It is reality and to claim otherwise is intellectually disingenuous.
But to me the other part that Iowa needs to figure out is how to get their wrestlers to the finish line like Carl does. Their ability to appear healthier at the end of the year on a consistent basis is big.
Iowa is pushing their chips into the center of the table, annual contributions are about equal for the clubs. Psu has a huge lead but hopefully the gap will narrow.
The other request would be for these posters to have some humility, acknowledge the advantages and remember that you are guests here. The mods let this board be a little more freewheeling then the psu forums. Just because they will let you be a jackwagon doesn’t mean it is required to be one.

Embarrassing for Ped State I'd say. I had this directly told to me by Lubert himself over lunch with another PA booster. Would you like the date?
Class? Ped State has zero class. I've seen their BS up close since I was a kid.
Gable expansion of schollies in the day was nothing compared to the PSU slush fund. Are you not admitting what has gone on? If so, that's par for the course when it comes out of "Happy Valley". Keep living in your Alt Universe.
And BTW, I find it strange and laughable that so many Ped Staters come on this board. I've never once had the notion to go to yours. You guys must have low self esteem and a sore neck. The good news is that you'll soon be breathing our dust, but only for a short time, as the dust will settle by the time you jog by.
Small town mindset in a big scary world.“I only like to read from and communicate with people that hold the same opinions as me” is something I’ll never understand.
You're a pompous and pretentious fool.But then there’s this garbage dump of a post. Again, it’s a testament to the power of the almighty dollar that people on here would tolerate such a consistently embarrassing attitude. There are some truly awesome posters on here, but thankfully the bad ones do a great job at outing themselves on a regular basis.
Inexplicably, the defense by these low quality posters is usually “well if you don’t like me pissing in my own pool, stop coming into my pool!” I mean, I guess there’s a point there, but how about just learning how to potty train oneself?
Some of us really enjoy wrestling and discussing it and enjoy/appreciate conversing with other fan bases besides just our own. I think the……substantial difference in attitudes/aptitudes between the PSU and Iowa board tends to throw some of us off at times.
I’ll dumb it down for you next time.You're a pompous and pretentious fool.
I really can't help you. Better seek a strong therapist.
Nor will there be. If you don’t look you can’t see it.Some good points here, although again I most point out that there is zero evidence of any of the allegations of impropriety (athlete payments, steroids) this board loves to bandy about.

You are mistaken if you believe I post to change the minds of certain posters. I simply post to set the record straight when I read disinformation. This is more for the benefit of those who read boards without ever creating an account. It takes two to "bicker," so...You ... can respectfully piss off back to your own site. We don't need your point of view here. You are not changing anyone's opinions on anything...
I find it strange and laughable that so many Penn Staters come on this board.
Agreed. But what does what happened relating to football when I wasn't at University have to do with me as a PSU Alumni poster on a wrestling board?As far as situations that embarrass a university can we agree that the situation that occurred at psu tops pretty much anything?

I simply come to the board to read Iowa fans' takes on Iowa wrestling, since HR seems the best free venue for it. Maybe someday, I'll even join the Inner Circle. The vast majority of threads I simply read and occasionally react without posting. Seems reasonable to me.
If a thread contains a take on PSU, I simply try to present alternative explanations based on information of which I am aware.
Obviously, I am not answering you to change your opinion. But I don’t come over here to "start shit." I respond to "shit" started by others.The reality is PSU has no real competition most years and you get bored punching each other's clowns about how good you are so you come over here to start shit.

Iowa fans posting on their own board is not starting shit. Don't come here and you won't even know what gets posted. I read the PSU board from time to time, I even read all the derogatory anti Iowa posts but I have the strength to do so without interjecting my opinion.Obviously, I am not answering you to change your opinion. But I don’t come over here to "start shit." I respond to "shit" started by others.
And I think that TnT do, but we always need the very best ingredients.Getting blue chips is just the beginning. Like a good knife the steel must be tempered correctly or it will become brittle and break. The knife maker must know when to quench and which oil to use.
On someone else's board. No need for you to respond at all. Resist the urge.Obviously, I am not answering you to change your opinion. But I don’t come over here to "start shit." I respond to "shit" started by others.
