Maxwell Smart Posted January 19 Posted January 19 The real question is, who are they going to bring in from the transfer portal to replace the one and done wrestlers brought in this year? The replacements don't seem to be coming from recruiting. Who do they have their eye on?

Expand It's been a few years since this was true. They were outscored by over 100 points while placing 5th last year, and weren't within 50 points the two years prior. This isn't necessarily a knock on Iowa. No one can be meaningfully compared to Penn State.

He beat Soencer Lee in h.s. and beat Roman Bravo Young a couple few times at Iowa before then losing 6 straight vs that same wrestler. He went from having a move RBY could not stop to then being completely unable to finish his shot on him. I don't think he got worse as a wrestler, but his relative results to RBY sure got worse. 1

Expand He barely beat Spencer Lee with a blown ACL in high school, and he had a couple wins during RBY's true freshman year. Desanto without a doubt improved during his time at Iowa, just not enough to beat Fix or RBY.

Expand That win over Lee in h.s. was something no other h.s. wrestler was able to accomplish, so pretty good. Again, not saying he got worse just that its hard to laud "improvement" based on coaches "developing" his talents when he went from consistently beating a guy to consistently losing to that same guy in exactly the same manner each and every time. Just where was the development from his coaches there?

Just where was the development from his coaches there? Expand I kind of agree (but I don't because you are talking about a high school match against someone on one leg, and he didn't place at drexel), but in the same breadth are you willing to admit that the Desanto who graduated was a way better citizen than the one who showed up? Developing him as a person is part of coaching, and despite the fact that he did cringy stuff at Iowa too, it definitely became less and less of a factor. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
