Ryder? As in…Zack Ryder? The RSFR who wrestled a handful of matches at 184 for PSU? Buchanan did not wrestle 184 and Ryder never sniffed 197… Are you talking about Josh Barr? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ferrari was the top recruit in the country what are you talking about. He picked Iowa, not the other way around. And my feelings about the Focus family are not exactly vague. Lee beat Suriano in HS. But you think PSU won't recruit over someone for a better person? Get ready to speak Nevills-ese buddy. Ayala chose Iowa. Google tells me he was the #5 overall big board recruit, who would get to train with Spencer Lee (again 3x champ, reigning Olympic silver medalist and favorite to win worlds this year) and 3x AA Austin "I eat toes and try to break opponents arms" DeSanto while learning under the guys who coached up Cejudo and Lee. But sure he could have picked PSU who is known for their 125 and 133 prowess (except when they face Fighting Illini and cops and staph). Please stop making me defend Iowa and TnT. I'm begging you... please...

It’s immoral to break laws, besides, you might kill two stones with one bird. Channeling scourge there.

I think Jordan Burroughs would be a... good coach. I don't know that he'd be Cael or DT's level... but he'd attract a LOT of people. I don't particularly care about Iowa beyond what it means for the sport. And it's just good fro the sport to have a contender to PSU or beyond that, just a strong IOWA Program. People who don't follow Wrestling know of Iowa Wrestling. JB would bring in a LOT of recruits... but what's equally important is building out that staff. I'm sure JB could bring in some good assistants. I'd have said Snyder, but more time needs to pass. I now know what QV is with a prositute because of Snyder...

speaking of heartless

LOL...yeah, we should be talking about 8th graders and the height of immorality because they... sit out a year! That...THAT'S the horse that needs more kicking!

What was the last one?

This upcoming season the outlook and results will be fine, but what about after that? Drake and Caliendo will be done. I believe Kennedy too. Whose knows if kueter will finish his career. Angelo can't win a team title by himself.

they are just so entertaining.. their cute lil songs.. so catchy

you love yourself some racists?

well USAID was shut down...

and yet they weren't told how dare we not tell them it's 28%

i dont have a degree and i could probably tell you where 93% of countries are within a geographical region maybe closer but saying regular people without a degree should have as much knowledge as you... why? what person here is going to travel to Iran or even the middle east in their lifetime?

It's not stolen valor I just want a straight answer not this flip-flopping about offseason shenanigans!

Ben Askren is the next game changer head coach. Praying he has a speedy full recovery. He should be the obvious first choice to replace TnT if Iowa decides to move on. I think TnT do a good job coaching what they got. They just can't recruit to save their lives. Let's be honest, the only reason they landed Angelo is because other schools didn't pursue him due to his last name. I suspect they only got spencer because Penn State already had suriano at the time. Drake just happened to grow up in iowas backyard. What other elite recruits have they actually recruited? It's just so frustrating that a major program like Iowa is so horrible at recruiting. You would think elite high schoolers would be lining up to go to Iowa.

we keep cutting funding to kids SCHOOLS and the big wigs get all the money

Spencer Lee just took home an Olympic silver and is the odds-on favorite to win worlds this year. Buchanan chose, on his own, to pick Iowa and they coached him up to a natty over a (holds nose) very game Focus and a likely 2-3x champ in Ryder (McEnally pending). Ayala has made the finals twice. Not his fault he ran into the buzz saw known as Lucas Byrd, Illinois Athlete Of The Year. Iowa won the team trophy in '21 and would have in '20 as well. Thomas Gilman did nearly all his best work at HWC. Maybe if he stayed there he would not have attempted a merkle costing him potential Olympic gold. Kueter chose wrestling over football in what was likely the most pivotal offseason of his football career, one that could cost him literally tens of millions of dollars if we play the what-if game. The sky is not falling. Iowa is still Iowa. I would gladly take Iowa's results and outlook.

omg lol these people were educated BEFORE this latest wave of school board rejections

no, republicans dont want workers undercut by people who are paid less
