Worrying about the effects of AJ on recruiting is misplaced because.

[HawkCharlotte]

it's not like Iowa's incoming classes are the stuff of legend:

Recruiting Class of 2024

Dru Ayala – Fort Dodge, Iowa 120 lbs.

Keyan Hernandez – Billings (West), Montana 126 lbs.

Miguel Estrada Bakersfield (Frontier HS), California 144 lbs. #5 at 150

Angelo Ferrari – Melissa, Texas 175 lbs. #1 P4P and #1 at 165

Jake Howell – Glenwood Village (Cherry Creek HS), Colorado 215 lbs.


Recruiting Class of 2025

Leo DeLuca – Blair Academy New Jersey 120 lbs. #1 at 120 and #17 P4P

Leister Bowling – Mead, Colorado 175 lbs.

A meager 3 ranked wrestlers in back-to-back classes.

This is why AJ's antics will be tolerated more than almost everyone else. Iowa, right now, has NO WAY of making a run for a National Title anytime soon.

If not the Ferraris then Iowa has no answer to their recruiting woes.

THIS is the real problem TnT are facing. They don't seem to be able to recruit blue chip wrestlers. maybe one here and there, but not the haul that Penn St and others are raking in.

There is one possible solution ... regime change. I think that's what needs to happen.

If I am Leo DeLuca I might be having second thoughts. Can you blame him?

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Is there a way to get the other two Ferrari's and not AJ?

Fans can bitch and moan all they want Tom will make the decision. And once AJ puts on an Iowa singlet Carver will cheer him. Had he been wearing one at the Salute things would've been different .Many of you didn't want him at first but before this weekend most of you were on board. When he makes the walk in Carver it will all change again

Not posting this to stir the pot but there is someone on another platform claiming that a high ranking Iowa recruit is having second thoughts due to some recent incidents

You gotta remember most people here make shit up hoping it's true

It wasn’t on here….actually wasn’t on a “team” page……like I said not sure if there is any truth to it but just something I saw

A common theme on the Iowa forum's, Kirk needs replaced, Fran needs replaced, and TNT needs replaced. Who would not want to coach at the Iowa fishbowl?

 

[SPOONER]

Nah

Disagree. Not true of all, of course, but he’s spot on for many.

Yeah it’s even worse elsewhere.

You have the right to speak for yourself but don’t speak for others.

NO, it won’t.

You don't get out much if you think calling for coaching changes is just an Iowa thing.

But you're not. So who cares?

Didn’t answer the question airhead.

Stubbornness and stagnation are the Iowa brand.

Sometimes you just have to ignore idiots.

It was too stupid, trivial and meaningless to even bother, rookie.

Couldn't agree more.
