I think to win Richie figs is needed
To counter psu champs
Figure psu
Sartocci, kerk close to locks
Starocci can't be a lock up 1 or 2 weight classes. Especially with Keck at 184.

Jacori has not wrestled freestyle since 2017 and I have no idea the last time Buchannen did I would assume high school. So to me you are paying them to wrestle for a semester I don't foresee either guys being needle movers in freestyle. So I guess I should add a semester and good workout partners. I know they have alumni with A LOT of money but I just cannot imagine spending that kind of money when their biggest recruit from this upcoming class is Leo Deluca (who is very good). Unless their intent is to just buy proven commodities who are already In college moving forward I think those funds would be better allocated to ensuring they get these big high school recruits if they can truly afford to potentially pay 3 guys 1.5 million who in my opinion I could very well be wrong will never get close to making a national team out of school.
I guess ultimately I may be underestimating the funding in wrestling and specifically at Iowas I just think its a foolish investment, it does put them in the national title hunt if some things swing their way though so perhaps it will prove to be fruitful.
Bob Nichols is very rich and wants Iowa to win a trophy badly.

The rumor was 500k for Buchannen and Teemer but I have to think that number is BS for a semester, that is all I have heard though.
Why do you believe it’s BS when wrestling reporters (including Willie) have stated it multiple times? And it’s not just for a semester. It’s also to join HWC RTC.

Sorry to get you interested, I don't have the first clue, but neither does @Jimmy Cinnabon.
I assume Parco got the same as Teemer and Buchanan. It is a guess but at least based on some logic.

Pay to win (a team trophy, not first though)

How is he able to transfer without being in the portal? Do the rules alter due to him being released (kicked off) from the team?
Teemer and Buchanan were never in the portal either and yet they are transferring to Iowa.

Richie aint leaving called Parco out as a traitor before he even left
Let's see him turn down $1,000,000 first. Parco got $500,000 and he didn't even win a NCAA title.

He does have over 30k x followers, but not sure how much $ that makes.
Hate to add to a Jimmy thread, but Mineo did delete the post that Teemer called false. @VakAttack shared it previously, and it said Teemer had already been “given” an apartment. So may have just been an incorrect choice of words (and possibly another instance of Mineo being “mostly” but not 100% accurate), I’m guessing that he was just offered it at that point.
I would wager Teemer won’t be paying for housing in Iowa City this year.

Tommy B says "We like our guys". Well apparently not as much as some other teams' guy!
Iowa's lineup could end up being 60% transfers!
125 Cruz (transfer)
133 Ayala
141 Voinovich (transfer)
149 Parco (transfer)
157 Caliendo (transfer)
165 Teemer (transfer)
174 Arnold
184 Brands
197 Buchanan (transfer)
HWT Keuter
Has another top team ever had a majority transfer lineup?

100%… he was a very big 165. He’s not going 157 …as was said Teemer is getting paid to go 157
Teemer was a gigantic 157 pounder. He may need to go on the John Smith diet to make 157 again.

Why recruit high schoolers when you can recruit proven college wrestlers? Top programs will always pluck top talent from lesser programs, this is the new normal. Very few top teams do not have transfers in their line up.
Rank the top 5 teams that do not have a transfer in their line up. This could be fun.
I actually forgot they had another transfer at 149 - Kyle Parco. 60% of their lineup is going to be transfers.
Iowa lineup next season:
125 Cruz (transfer)
133 Ayala
141 Voinovich (transfer)
149 Parco (tranfser)
157 Caliendo (transfer)
165 Teemer (transfer)
174 Arnold
184 Brands
197 Buchanan (transfer)

How many transfers will Iowa start next year?

A potential finalist at 157 is really nice, like wiping your butt with silk nice. But if the rumblings about him wanting to go up to 165 are true, this looks like a weird move, unless Caliendo can make 157 (I am under the impression that Kennedy really cannot cut down below 165)
Iowa fans were convinced Caliendo was a small 165 pounder so the cut to 157 should be doable.

what is wrong with this guy. he proved mineo wrong now he's actually going? I don't know what is going on here
$500,000 is a lot of money for 3 months of wrestling.

Was he even in the portal?
Buchanan is next.

you guys are all missing the most pertinent impetus to his tweet (which, is pretty mild, regardless)
the jiu jitsu folks were trashing nolf and wrestling in general.
Why were they trashing Nolf? He faced the top seed and made it through a few rounds.

Will UPenn get a huge hometown boost? And Penn State to a much lesser degree?

Why would Ayala leave Iowa??? Is there any substance to this? It doesn't make sense to me.
It's total BS. Iowa is the best place for 125 pounders.
Iowa is getting undue hate for all the transfers

In defense of Iowa with its 5 to 6 transfer starters. Michigan did the same thing last year (Deaugustino, Cannon, Gomez, Griffin, Davison) and didn't get much flack. Now they added AA Jacob Cardenas and Chase Saldate.
Surely they've been handing out bags to land all these primo transfers, just like Iowa.
