  1. Spiral ride is by the new rule stalling. You cannot turn someone or pin them with a spiral ride. Same with a claw ride, side or front headlock...
  2. You can't turn someone with a power half if both boots are in though. You eventually have to take 1 or both boots out.
  3. So by rule, double boots has to be stalling...
  4. Great news for Penn State
  5. Anyone else find Ferrari throwing the Penn State hat on the ground disrespectful? I get that Penn State wasn't one of his final 3 schools, but I'm sure he had some contact with Penn State and the Penn State coaches. I think it would have been disrespectful if he threw a VT or Rutgers hat on the ground before putting on the Iowa hat. I know if he had gone to VT or Rutgers and had thrown an Iowa hat on the ground the Hawkeyes fans would be howling about it... Anyway, seems weird to pull that stunt with a team that wasn't even in his final 3.
  6. This is the most obvious choice: But this may make just as much sense:
  7. As predicted by me, Iowa adds a 2nd Ferrari to its garage tonight. Make room for A.J.!
  8. If Iowa lands Ferrari #2 this will mean A.J. will go there too. Iowa + the purebred Italian horsepower of 3 Ferraris is the only way Penn State will be challenged next season, and perhaps the next season too. I predict Iowa WILL land Ferrari #2 tonight!
  9. Robbie Howard (if healthy) would be the starter. The problem is he's yet to be healthy a full season at Penn State. He has chronic shoulder injuries which seem to only get worse over time. At his best he is capable of being a lower AA level guy. He did take out Malik Heinselman at NCAAs the last time he was there. Gary Steen - 2x PA state champ, tries super hard but seems undersized. He's had a few years in the PSU room now so I have a hard time seeing him making a jump to a .500 level guy. Kurt McHenry - I remember him being a top level recruit who was neck and neck with Heinselman in high school. I think he had (and maybe still has) the same issue as Heinselman as not being big enough for 125. Hard to see him being a solid upgrade over Gary Steen even. I think Penn State needs someone else in the mix...a healthy, full-sized 125 pounder. Given the current room, a low level AA would have to be a favorite at being Penn State's starter at 125 this year. Any ideas?
  10. What was his ranking coming out of high school?
  11. Wright was a split second away in OT from being a 3x champ like Bo. Still, 4x AA, 3x finalist, 2x champ is pretty amazing for someone who wasn't really heralded as a top recruit out of high school.
  12. If related to anything, it's more likely the gambling scandal (which is also fake news)
  13. Pretty similar credentials, not even factoring in freestyle. Can one argue that Spencer had a better career than Zain? And Zain is NEVER mentioned as a GOAT wrestler. Zain: 127-3, ended career on 95 match win streak. 0 losses by bonus 54 career falls, 22 TFs, 20 MD. 3x NCAA champ, 5th as a true freshman 2x Hodge Trophy winner Spencer: 98-6, ended career with loss and 2 MFF. 2 losses by bonus (FALL Piccinnini; FALL Ramos) 37 career falls, 33 TFs, 16 MD. 3x NCAA champ, 6th as a sixth year senior 2x Hodge Trophy winner
  14. Desanto at 133 Jason Nolf at 157 Vincenzo Joseph at 165 Quentin Wright at 184 Kurt Angle at HWT
  15. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/our-great-recruit.419455/
  16. Favorite is obviously Iowa so he can join Anthony (and probably A.J.)
  17. https://www.instagram.com/p/CslishPuL57/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 1. Cael 2. Gable, Dan 3. Dake 4. Mark Schultz 5. Pat Smith 6. John Smith 7. Stieber 8. Askren 9. Tom Brands 10. David Taylor
  18. My take: if Jason Nolf and Nick Lee had a baby it would be Mitchell Mesenbrink. White as a marshmallow, relentless pace like Nolf and grind like Nicky Lee.
  19. Restricting it to transfers that happened this off-season. Last season Real Woods won biggest impact...transferred from Stanford to Iowa and became the best wrestler on a team that included Spencer Lee. Nominees: Victor Voinovich (Iowa) Shane Griffith (Mich) Chris Cannon (Mich) Michael DeAugstino (Mich) Lucas Davison (Mich) Yaraslau Slavikouski (Rutgers) Aaron Nagao (Penn State) Seth Nevills (Maryland) Mitchell Mesenbrink (Penn State) Bernie Truax (Penn State) My pick is Griffith, I see him getting back to the top of the podium in the Michigan room.
  20. Over 2x champ O'Toole? I don't see it.
  21. Penn State 125 Really counting on Robbie Howard to be healthy, which he hasn't been since he started college. If RH can stay healthy he can make nationals and win a few matches there. If not, it's going to be another year with a hole at 125 and no qualifier. 133 Expect Nagao to be a national title contender. Hope he can improve from neutral in the Penn State room. He's already a hammer on top. 141 Bartlett despite placing 3rd I think he can still improve a lot 149 SVN - see Bartlett above. I think he has even more room for improvement than BB. 157 Haines should contend for a national title. Hope he can improve on his awesome true freshman campaign. 165 Messenbrink I don't see as a finalist right away but a mid-tier AA would be great 174 Starocci if he's back should be favored to 3peat 184 Truax I project as 3-5 at NCAAs. The weight is too deep for him to be a title favorite but hoping he can improve with better training partners. 197 Brooks I see as a finalist but not a favorite since he's moving up a weight. He's actually shorter than Starocci so I wonder how he deals with the length of the bigger 197 pounders HWT Kerk I have as the favorite now that Parris is gone Penn State still wins NCAAs comfortably, even if Howard gets hurt again. I actually think they win by a smaller margin this upcoming year though. It was really just a magical run this past season with several guys way overperforming their seeds.
  22. Do they usually also include their dad in the picture and the head coach? Also under his name it lists "University of Iowa"
