  1. Look for him to transfer to Iowa!
  2. He will be down in his final 3 in 2048.
  3. Wyoming shouldn't come off this early.
  4. Suriano won a couple of NCAA titles too. Did he get anywhere near that treatment?
  5. There is a special exemption for grad students or students transferring to Iowa.
  6. Iowa wants a team title next year. $1 million for 2 All-Americans might do it for them.
  7. Wow, so Iowa could be paying $1 million to Buchannon and Teemer for 1 semester of wrestling. This is only worth it if you believe these 2 guys are the missing pieces to a team title. Nichols' cash must be burning a hole in his brokerage account.
  8. Have to feel bad for Glazier. It wasn't enough to bring in Ferrari, now they bring in Buchannon. They must really hate Glazier.
  9. Actually, yes. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/hwc-out-performs-nlwc.449155/
  10. Ok, so she was a member during the Olympics.
  11. Is she not a member of HWC?
  12. First, it's obvious Iowa/Hawkeye RTC had the best performance overall. The Lee and Kennedy Blades both won silver, which were the best performance the US team had in Paris. Second, it's obvious NLWC underperformed. RBY went 0-1, Zain went 0-1, Snyder got 5th (when he was favored to medal), Brooks got 3rd (really should have been in the finals) and Dake got 3rd (when he was favored to win). Third, overall it seems women are outperforming men at freestyle. This is no surprise given women ONLY wrestle freestyle at the college level. So is the takeaway that Iowa/Hawkeye receives a boost and Penn State/NLWC loses a bit of luster amongst recruits who have Olympic aspirations? Bonus: how impressive is Japan? They dominated in both styles in both men and women's. Imagine a college team of Japanese wrestlers...how would they do at NCAAs after a few years of practicing folkstyle?
  13. Spencer isn’t done. Snyder, Dake and Zain are done it seems.
  14. Is the luster gone? Or is this an overreaction and NLWC is still our best RTC?
  15. He would have pinned Yaz.
  16. Since when is Rei Higuchi a member of NLWC?
  17. In both men and women's wrestling...in both Greco and Freestyle, Japan is amazingly good. Why is this? Asian countries tend not to be known for proficiency at strength-based sports, but rather precision/technique based sports like diving, table tennis and badminton. Yet Japan seems to stand out as an Asian country that is tops overall when it comes to wrestling. What explains this? I can't imagine sumo is the reason why.
  18. Yaz gave up. Noble. Are you allowed unlimited injury timeouts? Seems weird.
  19. US men are likely bringing home 0 golds. Sad.
  20. Dake went to Penn State?
  21. They should move to Hawkeye WC
  22. NLWC having a bad showing so far…
  23. Brooks can still win bronze. Not exactly a bomb given he wasn’t a favorite at the weight.
  24. Impressive. Does Indiana so similarly well in NCAA wrestling?
