Kasak may not wrestle in college much longer. Those concussion issues look nasty. Very sad.

Take a look at the average points per match scored by Rocco. Aside from his matches against other top 4 guys at 184 he was scoring lots and lots of points.

A 5'6 Gabe Arnold was an All-American at 197. No reason to think that a 5'11 Endene can't do the same at heavyweight.

To note, I'm not saying Iowa should be 100% Iowa guys....I'm just saying focusing on recruits you get out of high school rather than through the portal. I think they would be well served to have a roster that's at least 75% of their original recruits (even if they are from states other than Iowa).

In recent years Bob's big NIL bucks have resulted in Iowa fielding rosters that are approximately 50% transfers. While they have had some success with transfers (e.g. Stephen Buchanan) it seems more often than not these transfers don't actually turn into national champions. Meanwhile Iowa has managed to stay on the podium, but in the 3rd or 4th place spot instead of contending for 1st or 2nd. I'm wondering if Iowa fans think they should return to the tried and true method of building a roster through developing recruits from high school rather than relying heavily on the transfer portal?

Nebraska or Iowa?

Obviously not Penn State after he accused Kasak of using steroids. No room at Oklahoma State. Iowa seems the most logical option to fill in for Jordan Williams. Maybe Ohio State?

You don't know about Purdue's board?

Top contenders: 1. Iowa 2. Michigan 3. Iowa State My prediction is that Iowa lands 3 big bag transfers. Michigan has the same but Iowa State lands 4.

Say Caliendo battled hard and Mitchell was only able to win 2-1. Would Jax be the Hodge winner instead?

RIP to a true American HERO

In many sports leagues there is an attempt at creating parity and competitive balance through mechanics like salary caps and draft position being inversely related to performance. What if in college wrestling, the number of permissible transfers each season was inversely related to performance at NCAAs? I.e. the first place team is only allowed 1 transfer-in the following season, second place gets two, third place gets three, etc. The maximum would be 10 for any team. Note this would not require teams to bring in transfers, it would just set the maximum numbers of transfers they could bring in the following season. Thoughts?

A “Bob Dole” reaction emoji sits in that curious space where symbols stop behaving like simple signals and start revealing the contradictions inside us. It’s neither good nor bad because it isn’t really about Bob Dole at all—it’s about the human impulse to compress irony, sincerity, nostalgia, and absurdity into a single tiny image. In choosing it, a person might be expressing respect, mockery, affection, detachment, or all of these at once, which mirrors the way we rarely feel just one thing at a time. The emoji becomes a mirror: a reminder that people contain multitudes, that our reactions are layered, and that even the most trivial digital gesture can expose the duality at the heart of being human.

If he could make $$$ in NIL for one extra year, why not?
