Had some really good things to say about Iowa
William Henckel Opens Up About Iowa Recruitment
- Thread starter HawkTalk3
- Start date
He would be an outstanding get. Slides in at 165 after a redshirt year after Kennedy and Caliendo graduate.
....well then, you send in Telford to close the deal!
Certainly a concern, he was ranked at 160 prior to the weight changes, so maybe he doesn’t have much of a cut for 165, but can he hold it for the next 4-5 years? Iowa's loaded at 174-184 for the foreseeable future.
I would have felt better about Lockett growing into 165, but wasn’t meant to be.
Is Finkle?
Finkle is Einhorn
A better question is if he’s related to the former Iowa WR, Ed Henckel.
The years will solve that and there is no certainty that there will not be a big need there. I think he would find a fit.
That would be Ed Hinkel, not Henckel. So the answer would be no.
Umm okay hahahaha, but you need better material.Dude. 😂
Not happening. I’m a dad.
I feel you, just one daughter and she does not like my humor.

F**k them. And to those against AJ being here, this is why you take chances on a potential rapist.
everyone here knows youre not a Hawkeye fan. Youre not fooling anyone
Well, they can only start ten guys. Everyone else sits or transfers.
Get 10 studs like Woods, Arnold & the Ferraris and there's nothing else to complain about except how often they go to church.

Ok ok. It's me. What can I say...I don't have anything better to do with my life.
See ya'll later! The mods can show me out now...
this wasn't happening under Gable. I never would have believed it could happen. I have to laugh now because it's so ridiculous.
The most elite kids all understand they can't be the best of they aren't even the best in the PSU room. There are worse things in life than learning from Cael during a redshirt year, and then hitting the Portal and naming your NIL price, and going elsewhere.
I don't like it one bit, but it might just be the new reality in NCAA sports let alone wrestling. The Portal was bad enough without NIL.
New recruits aside, my less than perfect solution. Limit transfer starters on a roster to 2 slots maximum. Forget about the top programs Iowa, Mich and PSU taking advantage, let's protect the smaller programs losing their best kids continuously.
They can go to PSU, redshirt a year, see if they’re good enough to start and transfer without penalty if they’re not.
If they’re not getting 9.9 money, then it’s only one of the two transfer before they graduate transfers they can use.
And I’m guessing most of them believe they’re good enough to start. At a certain level, most believe that they’ll be 4x champs.

The NCAA just signed off on multiple transfers with no loss of eligibility.
Do you think that there is any way in hell that wrestling is going to be able to put a cap on transfer starters?
Iowa needs to get a lot better at the portal game because we cannot keep up with psu in traditional recruiting.
Well they just got the best two guys in the portal last year so we can’t keep up with them on that either.
That's why I said we need to get a lot better in the portal...
I don't disagree. I don't like what Deon Sanders did at Col this year in football even though the results didn't deliver. I would be ok with a 20% cap on both scholys and starters for transfers. If football gets 85, a 17 cap is too high but it's a start. 2 for wrestling as well. It won't happen, but I am not a fan of the wild West with only a few primary benefactors. PS - I don't even like what free agency has done to perfessional sports. Call me old fashioned.
Penn State is not doing “traditional recruiting.” Aside from that, there is likely very intense pressure for Pennsylvania kids to stay at home. They can see or have learned how Spencer was treated by the locals when he made his decision.
And for all the Penn State trolls with nothing better to do than visit an Iowa Board, where Henckel is from is irrelevant to my comment.
