Yeah, I know, I wasn't calling you out or saying 'told ya so,' I made the statement because I just thought it was the last...ridiculous thing that COULD happen(I guess Ross could flip to PSU also) this year and I didn't believe it. Again, I just said it facetiously. 

I didn't even say Feldman.  I would have but ONLY because...Keuter is playing Football again and I don't now if he's going to play Wrestle(but I know he's going back). And then...I suppose I may have thrown out Jimmy Mullen. He seems like a guy who could make a big jump, but again, to be clear, I was making a joke as it's their only weight they're not going to be a favorite or...damn near a favorite to win a NC.

 

I don't even know it's true, just reading this thread. 

Yea I did not take offense, although I didn’t realize you were joking originally about “probably a HWT.”

But in relation to the Mirasola conversation (and I guess the Welsh one), I feel like the only guy (in America I guess) that might be a noticeable upgrade over Mirasola would probably be Trumble.   IMO Feldman is in the same boat as Welsh, maybe a smidge of an upgrade at best.  He’s also had a lot of injuries and contrary to popular belief PSU hasn’t had the best track record of keeping guys healthy.

Almost totally unbelievable, right?  Like...hmmm...

So you doubt the $500k amounts from last year?  I don’t, in which case $300k is believable to me for Bailey.  Just not Williams IMO.  And technically he wouldn’t just be making up Iowa’s offer if he’s claiming someone else offered that much too.  At this point if anyone with connections to Iowa’s program is telling Mineo anything, it’s because they want him to tweet it out.

How many more millions will Bob dish out for 3rd and 4th place finishes?

[headshuck]

Will Nebraska step up and try throwing more money around?

[RawDog]

Jordan Williams will be the 149 champ next year.

How did he do this year?

[lisa morales]

Is there any pretense to being a student or is that just an old-fashioned concept?

[Coastal]

There are terrible ways to improve and then there's Iowa idea.   Bailey makes Lewan look like an offensive juggernaut and it's probably a terrific idea to give someone like Williams, with a partying issue, hundreds of thousands of dollars.  I wonder what he'll spend that on.

Or finally make the podium with the best 125 pounder in the nation. Use your head bro. 

Wake up to what's been going on the last 4 - 5 yrs bro.

They haven't thrown "bags of cash" at a guy who hasn't AA'ed. Big difference between Woods, Caliendo, Buchanan, Teemer, and Parco. 

[cl415]

Williams, Bailey and Peterson are all volunteering their services for Iowa. No scholarships or NIL. They just want to be there. 
 

See how ridiculous it sounds when PSU fans say that about every single transfer?

Do some research bro.

How much do you think Peterson and Williams are getting then?

I was hoping Mizzou. We had the first visit Monday. 

(This is my first post)

As a Mizzou fan, I’m not necessarily mad we didn’t get them. We already have a log jam at 125 and 133, we don’t need someone like Nasir Bailey (obviously the main focus in that package) messing that up any more. We had two 125/133 red shirt this year, if we get Nasir I’m afraid those guys leave.
 

Seems like a lot of Mizzou fans forget about Jace Roller who red shirted this year. I want to say he’ll be 149, I may be wrong. With Mendoza coming in and what I see being 141 (think he redshirts and waits for Edmond to leave), think we’re pretty well off. We have too many good recruits to be hitting the portal. Our focus should be finding a 174 and right now there aren’t too many options. 
 

My eyes are on Facundo and Chittum, although I like Conway.

Not to be a jerk, but Williams and Bailey would have been big gets for Mizzou.

It's an evolving game.  Maybe the rental market was really really good this year.

No offense taken, but I don’t think so. I’d rather grow our recruits than bank on paying for possible all Americans. Both were very high recruits and have consistently underperformed at NCAA. Maybe that’s just my bias, but I don’t even think this is as big of a get for Iowa as people think it is. Bailey goes up to 141 for Iowa and doesn’t All-American. 
 

Mizzou can’t afford to have their best recruiting classes leave. They’ll more than likely have one of their 125/133 leave without even getting any lightweight transfers (Bailey). Mills brothers coming in, they’re good on lightweights for a while. Williams would’ve been a good grab (I guess, we’ll see if he all Americans or if he peaked in prep. Probably the latter).

I think Mizzou will be just fine but them bringing in those two transfers 2 days after NCAAs for a visit tells me they saw a need.

Not really. Bailey maybe, but I’m shocked Mizzou even entertained Williams with the off the mat stuff. I’d prefer to ensure we don’t lose Mendoza’s commitment by adding a Bailey.

So you think someone with connections to Iowa’s program is intentionally sharing fake numbers?  If so, why? It’s not like they’re scaring people away from offering similar amounts so Iowa gets the guys, based on the Nagao situation we pretty much know Penn State guys are in all likelihood getting comparable amounts

No i think Mineo hears stuff second and third hand and publishes it as facts and is wrong all the time. Combine that with the fact he's an open and repeated Iowa hater, and using him as the source for Iowa news is silly.
