The fact that a historic, iconic, proud program like Iowa lets themselves be coached by two brothers who clearly don't have all the crayons in the box is downright sad. Franek, Caliendo, Teske, woods, Eirerman. Which one didn’t get better after going to Iowa?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't happen in the last match, and lost close matches to great opponents. Teske was never an AA anywhere else. 19 minutes ago, Wrestleknownothing said: I would exclude Eierman from the list. He got to SV in the final his first year at Iowa after never making a final. The next year he was looking like a sure finalist until he messed up his knee late in the season. And I do not blame that on Iowa grind. I blame that on the style he brought to Iowa. He was always OK giving up a leg and countering, but it finally caught up to him. Eierman made a final at Iowa because the two guys that placed ahead of him his last NCAAs at Mizzou (Yianni and McKenna) sat out or graduated. He also lost to Lee who he majored (12-4) while at Mizzou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your calculus every finalist is tainted if the guy who beat him the prior year graduated. Not true. And no one thinks Nick Lee did not jump several levels between 2018 and 2021. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you're saying words without any thought or logic behind them because you're so eager to dunk on Iowa.

Who got their hand raised? Lee made up 10 points of ground on Eierman in a short period of time. I don't have to dunk on Iowa, everyone just watched their wrestlers score in the wrong basket for two hours on national tv.

Hwt1 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 47 minutes ago, macwoodfleet said: The theme applies to guys in the room for a career, though. If you're an elite recruit, it may be the worst room in the country to go to. They will break you down, give you HEW, and you'll have limited senior prospects unless you go to Penn State's room. Ask Thomas Gilman. He will tell you. “Worst room in the country to go to”?? Other than Penn St, what room would they have had more success in than Iowa? Maybe Mich, Cornell - but those teams aren’t beating Penn St either. Iowa is the clear #2 the last ten years, no one else even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBT Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Btw as a college wrestler aren’t you supposed to plateau your senior year? What % of college wrestlers even care about “senior” wrestling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestle87 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 2 hours ago, The_KC_Godfather said: Teske, Woods, Franek, Caliendo Let's not forget Desanto as well. And even though they never won their respective weight classes, they had their best performances at Iowa. For most of them, the transfer in is a desire to be around a heartier wrestling culture. Stanford and Drexel certainly don't offer that, and Franek/Caliendo happened because Kish left North Dakota State. Eierman I'm just guessing was killing everyone in the room and obviously wasn't progressing, bc he was raised in the system and probably felt like had squeezed everything he could out of Mizzou's goofy/funkfest style of wrestling.

Bro, you're proving my point. Eierman went to Iowa, Lee stayed at PSU, and the gap closed significantly. 12-4 loss to 6-5 loss to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
