I don't know how anyone who wrestles from the knees isn't immediately banged for stalling. 

He was at the Open shortly after his title.  He was basically on his knees the whole time against the actual Italian Stallion Ben Honis.  Much can be implied there.

has there been any actual information on AJ going to Iowa?

Does Focus go HWT or 197?  Glazier is a better option than Hill.

 

I thought the speculation was that Keuter would likely be at HWT for the postseason

Does Minnow count?  He has said it (and that AJ will be 197)

In a world where irrational numbers exist, sure, he "counts"

thank you for the information....no he doesn't count.

I haven't heard or read anything salacious about the younger brother but the other two, especially AJ, have quite the history. I would be very conflicted in my fandom if more than 1 brother made it to the team. That being said I vote over

honestly I think there was a rumor they gave him a house or something?

so, are they just sitting on it? I could see why they would be secretive, if there isn't a lead up to his debut the hype will drown out a lot of the negative media. Plus the brands aren't beyond silly theatrics.

Who's they? I assume AJ and Anthony are aiming to enroll by the second semester so it's likely not a done deal yet. 

But if "they" is the coaching staff, Tom isn't exactly the most forthcoming with news anyway.  He barely even acknowledged the gambling stuff until his recent tirade about people asking the wrong questions to the wrong people.

yeah thats all potentially correct. guess i didn't think about what a black eye it would be for iowa if they announced him and he didn't get in.

In 5 short weeks there will be more Ferraris than Ferentz on the Iowa campus. Strange times.

Do you think there should be more “negative media” around Ferrari as opposed to Echemendia?  Their situations (at least the ones involving the law) are pretty similar

i'm not hyper familiar with either but based on my current knowledge yes.

interesting. My knowledge around Sketchy Echy's troubles center around what he did to his wife. As far as I know, there is a whole lot more documented regarding AJ's other extracurriculars

Yes but IMO most of the ire against AJ seems to be due to the charges, which were similar to Echemendia’s I believe.  Actually I believe Echemendia  was charged with a felony and AJ was not?

I remember much was said about Sketchy Echy when the details came out. I just don't recall the exact details myself, other than it seemed like there was a universal and strongly negative response from the community? "Title IX is ripe for reform" would probably defend him though

[JimmyBT]

I’ll bet the over with this disclaimer:  to all Iowa and Iowa st wrestlers DO NOT bet on this.

Are you sure he is a real number, I thought maybe imaginary.

No Tweets to block us

Around us clear sky

Yeah I think there was at the time, but haven’t seen a whole lot this year.  I’m guessing some Iowa fans would have said some things but didn’t want to look like too big of hypocrites if they didn’t say the same about AJ.

Although of course we don’t know if the reaction to AJ if he actually takes the mat for Iowa will be much different…

With Echemendia, you have the shady age related allegations, where some contend that he may have been in his 20s wrestling in high school and Fargo.  Then you have the felony where he allegedly attempted to strangle his female significant other.  (Not sure if they are still married or ever were married.) Then if you search her name, you can find at least one other public altercation between the two.  It pops right up.  Those are just his google trophies.  Who knows what else is out there? It was enough to get Ohio State to cut ties.
