Iowa needs action now (2 proposed solutions)

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

The loss of Bo and Melvin stings.  It's pretty obvious to me that both will land at Ok State, which is good for wrestling because it means in the next 5 years a team other than Penn State is going to win the title.

However Iowa needs to take drastic action now if it wants to remain a top 4 program.

I think Iowa needs to make one of two moves:

1. Hire Spencer Lee ASAP - I don't care if he's still competing.  He can be a player-coach.  And he doesn't necessarily need to be HC right away.  Bring him on as an assistant coach.  Iowa HAS to get Lee locked in before a program like Ohio State makes him an offer he can't refuse.

2. Have Bob back up the Nicolls Truck to PJ Duke and/or Marcus Blaze's houses. - Iowa must flip one of these guys, otherwise the power balance is irreparably tilted toward Penn State and Ok State.  Iowa NEEDS star power, pronto and one of these guys could be the next Spencer.

If Iowa makes one (preferably both) of these moves, they will stay a top 4 team for the next decade.  If they make none, they risk falling off the medal stand altogether.

"otherwise the power balance is irreparably tilted toward Penn State and Ok State."

Have you not been paying attention since 2011? At least where Penn State is concerned?

As for OSU - they have to beat Iowa in a dual first.
