Drake Ayala should transfer

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Really bizarre dynamic going on between Ayala and Lee, and the way the coaches are handling it (perhaps by not handling it) is strange to say the least.  Ayala's mom seems very unhappy about it.

Obviously the Brands and Iowa will do anything to appease Lee, so there's no winning for Ayala.  Likely he will be told to shut up and let Lee have his way.

The Brands kissed Pat Clowneys tail also..No surprise here!

No option for Areola (or Lee) to go 133?

Better yet,  them there UNI Panthers have a spot at 125 where he may fit.

Is it true Carl has a room for the mom and Ayala in the basement?

The last person staying there was Dake so it’s pretty easy to re-label things.

Spencer basically ruined Ayala’s chances to be a 4x AA by making him wrestle as a true freshman when he probably could have used a redshirt

…somewhat joking

I haven't seen any video or interviews of how this has been handled. Did I miss that part? 

If the issue is with Lee and his handling of the match and the situation, he's gone in 3 months. If later, when more info comes out, the issue is the program/coaches, then that's a different situation. I guess I'm old school in the fact that's it's never a bad thing to sit down with coaches or those involved and work it out like adults (if possible) rather than the default heading to the portal.  At least, that's one of many lessons I learned through the sport.

If Drake is thinking of leaving then Drake is not who we thought he was. 
 

The same toughness in him that wanted that match is the same toughness that will keep him in Iowa. 
 

That being said, Drake needs to bump up to 33 and hit the weight’s because the strength difference between him and Lee was unbelievable.  Drake is tall and long and would be better if he used this red shirt year to bulk up.

The strength difference between Lee and anyone is unbelievable. He is one of the strongest 125s in a long time and he has functional strength to boot. I really feel sorry for opponents on the senior circuit once he unlocks the Dad Strength ability.

So true. They are downstairs drilling there right now.
