A better question might be: what holes are the guys being poached going to fill next year? It's not like they haven't been reloading all along with a strong recruitment program. Cael and co. certainly aren't desperate.

He's a Penn Statebfan pretending to be an Iowa fan pretending to be an Iowa fan. ... so he's everything that nobody wants him to be, yes? D3 1 1 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I’m not putting my buddies under the bus who told me Nah, I'm not demanding it. I know how it goes. Just wondering if you were free to share.

It’s not just “well guys want to go there” Theyre good coaches. So coach don’t poach It’s not just Penn State though. Iowa has had way more high level transfers than Penn State in the last few years. For example, Woods, Desanto, Eierman. Penn State has Dean. Kerk never wrestled in another singlet so I’m not sure he can be considered poached. 1

dragit Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Just mad props to the 165 field for the last two years of superstar wars. Top notch guys going at it in the strongest weight class, no ducking. Wick gave Griffith four shots last year; Carr gave O'Toole three this year. High scoring matches, impeccable sportsmanship. And for KOT to come through with convincing wins over national champs two years in a row positions him as a potential all time great. 2

Look at the performers this year: the finalists RBY, Haines, Starrocci, and Brooks ALL started their collegiate careers at PSU. Kerk came over from the Ohio State U when Snyder moved to NLWC, so I don't consider that an outright poach. Bartlett and SVN, both third place finishers, also were recruited before freshman year. Not so much poaching, besides Dean. When theyre talking to guys the way I know they are. I look at it the same whether or not guys transfer. I actually look at other schools doing it askance too. Milner gets extra props from me for not leaving App State
CraigOR Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Keck, as good as he is, doesn't have much for Brooks 1
D3UC157 Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Kerk is an absolute goer but the control and pressure by Brooks looks brutal. 1

I actually look at Iowa even more askance for their stuff because it’s pretty clear they’re doing it to address to deficits in coaching and training methods…

He gives kids a chance when no one else would (Milner was a 1 time North Carolina state champion). Those kids would do just about anything for him. It’s why they don’t leave. I knew Austin Trotman well back in the day and was the first one that started that ball rolling.
VakAttack Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 ...that is not running the pike. Is that what others called it?

I feel like 65 is always the deepest weight with the most talent year in and year out
Wrestleknownothing Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Look how red Keckeisen's neck is from Brooks' heavy collar tie. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Perry Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Dean also left Cornell in part due to fears that they wouldn't let them wrestle due to covid in the ivey
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 19, 2023 Author Posted March 19, 2023 Best part of that TD by Brooks is that it got Burroughs to stop the weird talk about marinading your opponent
VakAttack Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Why is Burroughs pronouncing Keckeisen's name that way, lol? 1
