I dont recall AJ ever doing this as a Fr but am assuming given you love the theatrics you'd also love seeing Cael or Taylor deck him after he does this to them.  

....well, one of those actions is a crime, and involve an adult striking a college student, so I see that differently.

That said, there was a Michigan wrestler who flexed on the Brands brothers a few years ago, I thought that was all in good fun.

so what if he just took AF down and put him in the bow & arrow, that'd just be a coaching correct and still great fun for the fans?  🙂

Well Ashnault did the guns firing (he didn't know how to do pistols) at John after the Gfeller match.  It was just jersey being jersey.  Match & post very entertaining live but woulda been more fun if John had gone out and pummeled him for ~3+ minutes.

Uh, don’t many OSU wrestlers do this?

I called Ashnault a heel for that and faced significant resistance from the Jersey Boys

Honestly, Lock Haven and Wisconsin have Iowa ties already.  If he has a good bond with those gents (Henson for Lock Haven and Cassioppi for Iowa) perhaps we see him go that sort of route.

Both could use the two older Ferrari brothers.

WISCONSIN

Potential weights for Anthony

149

Joe Zargo, SR, 21W-11L (50W-39L)
Notes: Has Redshirt available, 3x NQ
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/62890/zargo-joseph/profile

157

Luke Mechler, JR, 8W-19L (34W-36L)
Notes: Was at Oklahoma State prior to last year, 15W-23L career against D1 wrestlers
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/71940/mechler-luke/profile

Cody Goebel, SO, 12W-9L (22W-22L)
Notes: Would be a first year starter, 7W-18L career against D1 wrestlers
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/79251/goebel-cody/profile

165

Gavin Model, SR, 14W-11L (33W-22L)
Notes: Would be first year starter, 5W-16L career against D1 wrestlers
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/63172/model-gavin/profile

I think Ferrari is a potential upgrade at 149lbs and a definite upgrade at 157lbs... hell, if the weight didn't matter, he would also be an upgrade at 165lbs.  I think being that Ferrari likely beats Mechler and Goebel both, you send them up to 165lbs to compete with Model for wrestler by committee.  You then don't worry about Zargo 'needing' to Redshirt and you roll out Anthony at 157lbs.

Summary:  This is a good roster fit for Anthony.  No real obstacle to make this work, unless there were morale issues with Mechler (he left OSU at the same time as the Ferrari clan).

Potential weights for AJ

197

Massoma Endene, JR, 28W-0L (52W-1L)
Notes:  He was up at 97 KG (~213lbs) for U23 Trials (which he won), He has one match against D1 competition, which was a an overtime 1-0 loss to a guy who has started precisely one dual for Northern Illinois, which was a bump up to heavyweight against Bastida this last season (a 22-6 Tech loss).  This guy was definitely a 'get' by the coaching staff, being a 2x Natty Daddy in D3 and he expects to start at 197lbs this season.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/75251/endene-massoma/profile

285

Braxton Amos, JR, 0W-0L (36W-19L)
Notes: 2x NQ, was a Superrecruit the same year and weight(s) as Ferrari was.  He has been cutting a lot of weight and myself and most of the fans of D1 wrestling are excited to see what he can do at Heavyweight this upcoming season.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/62756/amos-braxton/profile

Summary:  To make this work, Endene would have to drop to 184lbs.  Not sure he can do that.  With two years left for both of these gents (per Wrestlestat), I am not sure how this fit would work.

LOCK HAVEN

Potential weights for Anthony

149

Nicholas Stonecheck, SR, 18W-12L (50W-31L)
Notes: 2x starter - went 1W-2L both years at MACs.  One win each season against a NQ.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/62691/stonecheck-nicholas/profile

Lucas Kapusta, FR, 19W-8L
Notes: Likely the guy they had pegged to start for the next four years after a promising Redshirt campaign.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/84439/kapusta-lucas/profile

157

Nick Stampoulos, SO, 22W-18L
Notes: Incoming transfer from Buffalo, he expects to start for three years for Lock Haven.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/74398/stampoulos-nick/profile

165

Caden Dobbins, SO, 19W-13L
Notes: Incoming transfer from Bloomsburg, he expects to start for the next three years for Lock Haven.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/81883/dobbins-caden/profile

Summary:  With Seniors and 4/5 year starters at 174/184 and the Redshirts used up for Kapusta, Stampoulos, and Dobbins, I don't see a scenario where Anthony fits.  Lock Haven is set up nicely at these weights, and unless Anthony flat out Redshirts and there is a bump after this next year, there isn't a spot for him.

https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/65398/stoltzfus-tyler/profile
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/63035/fegley-colin/profile

Potential weights for AJ

197

Cael Black, SO, 11W-24L (15W-40L)
Notes:  14 losses via bonus last year alone.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/78740/black-cael/profile

285

Ethan Miller, JR, 6W-22L (13W-42L)
Notes: NOT THAT ETHAN MILLER, Has a redshirt available.
https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/78742/miller-ethan/profile

Summary:  An obvious no-brainer.

ALL IN ALL

With Wisconsin, if they want to go to Wiscy, Bono needs to make it happen.  You tell Endene to start the decent now - phuk-all with U23s.  The ties here are Cassioppi (Iowa) and Mechler (Oklahoma State).  With Wiscy the move makes sense.

With Lock Haven, they tend to give folks 47 chances, and I don't know if them having gents lined up for the next 3+ years at lower weights would actually mean anything.  If they're trying to put their best product on the mat, then they shouldn't and it becomes a no-brainer for them... but at the cost of potential morale and youth.

I live in lock and work with a lot of the wrestlers so I will let you know if I hear anything

My favorite shnaulty moment is when Princetons coach said he could not score more than 3 points against kolodzik and he put up 11 and held up 10 and 1 with his hands to the coach. Its actually insane to think Bassett teched him because during his senior season he seemed untouchable.

Sure, but that doesn't make you a villain.

Villain's are bad guys.

Whatever problem you have with whatever was originally said by whomever it might have been, just replace 'villain' with 'bad boy' and you will have a much better go of it.

I can’t believe he’s still saying “bag secured”

 

So how much do we think the slumlord paid him to never actually represent the University of Iowa and flip off their fans?

What does the Miami Vice Crockett Bear mean? It's like MV = certain kinda 80s TV cool; Bear = cuddliness; leaning on car = indifference ... Waiting ..  Posing ... Idk. My semiotics training is failing me on this one.

There have been accusations relating to female wrestlers about an RTC coach there.  If there’s any truth to those, I’d be surprised they’d consider AJ given the past accusations against him.
