    Baldosaro, Dziewa commit to Iowa

    A day after Iowa received a verbal commitment from No. 43 Bobby Telford, the Iowa Hawkeye faithful received more good news on Thursday when No. 9 Anthony Baldosaro and No. 33 Josh Dziewa gave verbal commitments to the Hawkeyes.

    Baldosaro, who attends Eastern Regional High School in New Jersey, is a two-time state champion. Last season, Baldosaro finished 41-0 and won his second state title at 140 pounds. In 2008, Baldosaro was a Cadet Nationals champion in freestyle and a Beast of the East champion. He projects collegiately at 149 pounds.

    Dziewa originally gave a verbal commitment to Rutgers at Junior Nationals in July when he captured a freestyle title at 135 pounds. After Dziewa gave his verbal commitment to Rutgers, he told InterMat, "I really like the coaching staff at Rutgers. I really like the idea of building a program. I feel like Rutgers has what it takes for me to become a national champion."

    But the Council Rock South High School (PA) senior, who projects collegiately at 141 pounds, changed his mind and decided to take his official visits to Nebraska, Virginia Tech, and Iowa ... before deciding he wanted to be a Hawkeye on Thursday.

    In addition to winning a Junior Nationals title in freestyle, Dziewa was a third-place finisher at this year's FILA Cadet Nationals. In 2008, Dziewa was a Cadet Nationals double All-American. He was a Super 32 champion in 2007.
