My guess is maybe slurs that Hispanic people are called?

I mean other wrestlers have said Iowa fans called them racist names, that part is actually believable IMO.    But him saying Glazier started the altercation and basically that he wasn’t really sorry for what he did was pretty cringe.

For this to be true we are going to have to assume a)  AJ Ferrari is honest  b) Iowa fans had no idea who AJ Ferrari was

The accusation sounded like they were using racial slurs assuming he was a race that he wasn’t? Obviously it didn’t make sense though, but we can’t expect it to make sense

Voted Starocci but most likely scenario is co Hodge Starocci/Brooks

Why can't this just die already

As a non Iowa fan I get the benefit of enjoying this.  But I feel for all exhausted Hawkeye fans

He should have 3 years left including this one, but I believe he’d have to apply for a medical shirt for 2022 first (2021 didn’t count, last year while he was out counts as a year).

Sounds like he is eligible for an ORS this year, but I know I read/heard somewhere he wanted to wrestle this year, so your second question would be my main one.  I assume he had gone through the enrollment process with Iowa, but while I’m no admissions person so could be wrong, I can’t imagine he can still enroll for the spring semester at a D1 school at this point…

There you go

Doubt AJ could spell IQ.  Brands would at least get it on the 2nd or 3rd try.

I mean, AJ has never lived in NY and attended school in NJ for what? A year?

His father emigrated from NY to Texas.  AJ is first generation Texan but still emulates the culture of his forefathers.  Very typical for first generation children of immigrants

Willie said that AJ has called Arizona State, Nebraska, Oregon State, Iowa State, and Northern Colorado, offering his services for the right price.

 

And the OP on GIA/HR said he received no bites from all those programs.  Interesting to see how this plays out

Being reported on HR that the Iowa AD said no to AJ Ferrari. Not trying to start rumors because I have no clue if true or not, but I found it interesting. 

Willie tweeted vhsalum's thread on twitter.  So, he definitely finds him somewhat credible

Well. That's a bummer. I was hoping for at least some drama in this dual

Munoz Traux is the match of the night

Was it me or were they playing Biggie Smalls Who Shot Ya on loop through 125 till mid match at 149?

Never suggested they were scared of other teams, that would be ridiculous. I do wonder if avoiding competition with other top teams for the first half of the season gives them an advantage come tournament time. The team race might be more interesting if PSU wrestled the tough schedules of the other top teams.

They have Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio State on the schedule (all top 10 teams).  Being in the B10 you can't escape tough competition.  Also, Cael's regular season strategy is working for the program.  Can't deny the results

I am no college football recruiting expert, but I also heard that he may have been ranked higher if he had played high school football in a state such as Texas or Florida.

Absolutely, you automatically get an extra star if you came from either of those states

@jross @BobDole I think this thread has reached that point where it needs to be moved to the other forum

There are currently 10 FBS conferences.  They’ll use the six champions out of the ten with the highest ranking.  

Have a hunch this won't last.  With the the realignment and loss of the PAC12 it's hard to imagine they'll guarantee 2 spots to non power conferences

I wonder if the teams will have complete line-ups. All seniors staying and playing ,no transfer portals leaving and all NFL  prospects still playing since they can still win a National Championship?

I doubt we'll have opt outs for teams in the playoffs

Pac-12 is now the Pac 2.   Yes it is gone.  

SEC, ACC, B1G, Big12, that's 4 of six.   Are there other conferences in the list?

mspart

I'm assuming they'll tweak it to 4 guaranteed for the now power 4 conferences, one at large non power conference, and the rest by ranking

Yes, I’m aware. The all star classic was hosted by psu, no? Wouldn’t be a good look to dodge obvious matches there. And, I think it was pretty clear that I was questioning why they don’t schedule top competition in *team* events, like dual meets and tournaments such as cklv.

I'm assuming Cael & company have found a formula that works best for their wrestlers.  Probably why he gets paid the big bucks
