Jimmy Cinnabon Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Travis Wittlake, 4th at NCAAs, has entered the transfer portal. Iowa is targeting him for 174/184. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/wittlake.425491/ This would make him their 8th transfer starting this year....80% of the Hawkeyes roster is transfers...wild!

poorwrestler Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The original poster is purely speculating lol. He’d be a good target for most teams. What are we doing here?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmodium Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 He is not going to Penn State if he has one year left. Looks like he'll benefit from a change of scenery, but there ain't much to see in Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 He has a "do not contact" designation in the portal, so seems like he has already made up his mind where he is going. Iowa does seem logical. And an 80% transfer starting lineup would be wild. Even more wild is it still may not be enough to crack the podium.

headshuck Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It would be interesting to see how donor money has increased over the past few years. 10x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Jimmy never stop please. I bet that poster is Brands lol. Iowa should go after Wittlake for 184 no doubt. 174 they don't need him PK will only miss a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Iowa team starting 70% transfers...or 80% if they do get Wittlake...what does that say about the Brands' ability to attract and develop their own talent? Iowa is becoming a team of mercenaries, all for the sake of trying to win another NCAA title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Oregan St need a 174, this would be a good spot, where is @potato? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle26 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Iowa could get the best non-PSU wrestler to transfer in at every weight and still might lose to Penn State 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it tells us the Brands need to do a better job of keeping their wrestlers (and son/nephew) from gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Iowa, Oregon State is the 2nd most logical choice. 0% chance he ends up at Penn State. They simply don't need him and he also burned some bridges when he decommitted from PSU.
