Hearing $500k for 1 year in black and gold https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/portal-help-on-the-way.442899/

Alirez is better than Woods. He beat him in the NCAA finals.

One could say Iowa is currently "Transfer U". Although Michigan is nipping at Iowa's heels for the title...

To be fair, Woods improved in his first year at Iowa

Bob Nichols is opening up his black and gold checkbook today...

First Iowa got Woods. Now they're getting the guy who beat Woods.

Yes, hence why I said they had penciled them in. That's exactly what they did.

Are Parco & Teemer a package deal? I was hoping to see Caliendo at 157 and Kennedy at 165. Love to see Kennedy get an AA 125 - Drake - 1st 133 - Transfer?? 141 - Alirez - 1st 149 - Parco - Top 4 157 - Teemer - Top 4 165 - Caliendo - top 2 174 - Arnold - 6th 184 - Brands/Ferrari - 4th 197 - Glazier - round 12 HWT - Kueter - 8th

The Iowa board has penciled in some transfers next year but I haven't seen any official word on commitments. Any truth that these 3 will be in the black and gold next year? 141 - Alirez 149 - Parco 157 - Teemer HWT - Hendrickson

When does a generation start though?

Yes, basically that's the gist of it.

Ok, so what could they gain if they win? Some monetary compensation?

How many of those guys listed in the OP do greco?

Are you drafting for folkstyle or freestyle (which is the only post-graduate wrestling available)?

Even if they win how will that affect the NCAAs rules and enforcement?

Just to be clear, none of the athletes are denying that they placed bets in violation of NCAA rules...just that they're mad they got busted?

Police are allowed to lie unless they are under oath.

No, for several reasons. 1. Tournament is already 3 days...adding women would make it even longer. 2. It's a totally different sport right now - freestyle vs folkstyle. 3. Could you even find an interior arena big enough to hold all the mats needed?

I don't think so...a lot of guys don't have upside compared to last year (especially the guys who are defending NCAA champs) Lilledahl+ Nagao = Bartlett = Van Ness= Mesenbrink+ Haines= Facundo--- Starocci+ Barr-- (he's a stud but he's not going replicate Brook's points as a freshman) Kerkvleit=

Ryan is a bit of a whiner, but he's a great coach. Definitely top 3. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Yeah, he's homegrown...now look at their 10 most recent AAs and how many were homegrown?

I'm a huge Starocci fan but he's not really much of a freestyler. And he's a tweener size-wise. It makes the most sense for him to win a 5th NCAA title then parlay that into a UFC career. There's no reason he can't be as big (or bigger) prospect for UFC than Bo Nickal.

Rutgers has to rely on sloppy seconds (or third). It got them their first two NCAA champs but they've yet to become a top 10 team. Until they corner the market on elite NJ wrestlers they will struggle to break into the top tier of teams.

Financially, what is the upside of Starocci not wrestling for NCAA next year? It's not like he's got a million dollar UFC contract lined up.
