Can we end the narrative about transfers not improving at Iowa?

[1032004]

Buchanan said prior to coming to Iowa he didn’t love wrestling, but after coming to Iowa he does. But he was finally able to get over the AJ Ferrari hump (no pun intended) and withstand the Cael magic.

Yes I know Teemer is not a good example for them, but he was legitimately injured and if some of the rumors are to be believed he may not have been totally bought in (and could have led to the injury).  Parco had been looking pretty good but unfortunately got injured during the tournament.

But Caliendo can also be used as a positive example.

 

Also side note but interesting comment in Brands’ interview he specifically said he didn’t recruit Buchanan, but then does make later comments about “people in the community talking about him”

Of course, worth noting that on the whole this wasn’t even true even before this year.  But Buchanan is their first transfer to win a title.

Caliendo is much improved as well

Did he improve, or did the weight clear out significantly?

AB wrecked him last year.

Well he was 0-2 against Ferrari prior to this year

While I am less than super sympathetic to AJF, Ferrari wasn’t wrong when he said he doesn’t have a lot of practice partners.

Anyone who spends two years out of wrestling, then goes to a program where he’s far and away the best wrestler, isn’t going to be at the same level.

C’mon Jimmy can you take a day off from trolling?  Cruz lol.  If anything he’s a good example of improvement, he was 0-2 against D1 competition in his redshirt year losing to guys from Ohio and Cleveland State one of which was a backup.

Already addressed Teemer and Parco, if I’m not mistaken them plus Franek and Teske is the complete list of transfer starters that did not have their best finish while at Iowa.
