No but he has input on who the idiots are that post here. He called out a big one on the last FRL. You should check it out...
From what I've heard, Hoffman projects at 197 and nothing lower. Beard maybe could go either 184 or 197 (see link below), but might have a hard time staying at 184 long term. Again, just what I've seen from various internet sources, mostly on the PSU board.

Well knowing our luck both of them will end up at psu. Hopefully Cornell can snag Beard away from you guys. LOL
does cael even try to make a house call to Nelson and set a home visit with him or does he just show up unexpectedly? now that would be a sight to see.
I could see Terry going and getting a gun out back and saying get out of my house. No skip that Michelle would take care of him. LOL
In my ignorant opinion, Trent and Iowa seem pretty compatible. It makes a lot of sense, personality and style-wise. However, I've only watched a few of his matches.
That is a solid top 5, any top 5 from this class HAS to include Gable Stevensen if you can pick from anyone. I am assuming you are choosing from the uncommitted guys left on the board. Which is both logical and much more realistic. My top 5 from the uncommitted guys would be Silva, Sasso, Lewan, Carr and Montalvo. I have to give an honorable mention to Mason Parris, but because Stevensen and Nevills are in the same class. Plus, with Schlutz coming up next year (who it seems is always mentioned in the same breath as Iowa) and I am taking Iowa's weight class needs into account. So, Mason Parris doesn't quite make my top 5 even though he is undoubtedly ranked higher than some of my picks.
In that order.
I LOVE Silva as a prospect. I watched him at the Ironman and Clash and while I was impressed with him before, I became blown away. He would be in my top 5 even if we included all the committed wrestlers.
I also completely understand including Teske into your top 5 as he is an excellent 125 recruit and the in State factor can not be overlooked, but with Spencer Lee already in house and looking like a potential career 125, that is just not a weight class of need. I also see Hilday as a 165, at least for a couple years, so with Marinelli there, I would prefer to wait and go after Conner Brady next year. The same logic applies to both Beard and Hoffman, both of whom I like quite a bit, Beard especially, but with Warner in house already and I doubt 184 is actually realistic for Beard. I know he was at 182 for the Ironman this year, but he came up permanently right after and likes to hit the weight room by all accounts. I would prefer Foca in the next class or ideally Ferrari in the following, although he seems like a PSU lean already with the Nickal connection. Ugh.
Just my thoughts...

I would agree - it is highly doubtful that Beard or Hoffman will see anything but 197 in college.
I think you are right on with your post although I'm not as high on Foca as you seem to be. Great wrestler, but I don't see him at the same level as the other wrestlers you mentioned. My guy has worked out with him a time or two although Foca is a lot bigger now so maybe he has picked it up a notch, but not sure this is evident in the results.
Trent thinks he will start at 174 and grow into a 184

"Carver-Hawkeye was awesome and the gym is incredible. The facilities are top notch.”
Just wait till he hears about the HR fundraising plan and @bnicolls contribution to make them even better
