Indeed. Since the recruiting class of 2020..

2020: #3 recruit Patrick Kennedy (1 time AA with 1 year to go)

2021: #5 recruit Drake Ayala

2022: *crickets*

2023: #2 Keuter, we'll see what happens with #5 Arnold.

2024: #2 Angelo Ferrari

They are turning recruits into AAs at a staggering pace. TnT have turned 3 top 5 recruits into AA's over the course of 4 recruiting classes!? The Brands are on fire. Luckily they have money to plug the other 7 holes that would be left in their line-up. Enter, Dean Peterson, Nasir Bailey, Jordan Williams, Sammy Alvarez, Mikey Caliendo, and Massoma Endene.

I think they will. No matter how we rag on Tom he is producing some good wrestlers. Just not making it to the top often enough - but being compared to Dan Gable is a loser for most coaches when you are talking Titles.

I think the big problem, recruiting and how Iowa is viewed, will continue to get worse.

65 kg - Tagen Jamison, Cowboy RTC/ Titan Mercury Wrestling Club (TMWC)

65 kg - Carter Young, Cowboy RTC/ Titan Mercury Wrestling Club (TMWC)

With Jamison registered at 65kg, I'm assuming he's either staying at 141 or battling Swiderski for the spot at 149. Also, with Carter Young competing at 65kg, I'm curious if he throws his hat in the ring at 141 as well.

My hope is that Jamison battles for the 149 spot.

I watched Carter young take Bartlett down 4 times last weekend. How he fails to even come close to being an AA threat in folk still baffles me.

I agree with this 100%. Watching him in folk is unbelievably frustrating. He can't finish leg attacks and can't scramble whatsoever.

What do you want to see happen at 141?

Either the loser of the 149 battle go down, or have Vega start. I would say Cael Hughes, but there is a rumor he is hurt, so he might not be an option.

I'd be curious what his injury could be that would effect him for more than 6 months. But regardless of what happens, I think they're going to have an AA at 141.

I'm sure he'll be healed in 6 months but he had a previous shoulder injury that sidelined him for a while and all that time away builds up. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward as they say. 

Some think Tagen can manage his weight better and be effective at 141 but I don't buy it. I think the weight suck is holding him back especially on offense

I would guess they have Vega do five matches - to limit the number of weight cuts for whomever of Swiderski and Jamison is cutting down
