AJ coming down from 230 pounds (but with a 665 pound deadlift) and Keuter weighing 230 pounds. How does this play out in Iowa's room?

They already did...

125 Kaylor DEC 0-3 133 Nagao DEC 3-3 141 Bartlett DEC 6-3 149 Singleton DEC 6-6 157 Haines MAJ 10-6 165 Olguin DEC 10-9 174 Starocci DEC 13-9 184 Munoz DEC 13-12 197 Brooks MAJ 17-12 HWT Kerk DEC 20-12

If he starts for the Hawkeyes will you boo when he takes the mat?

Double backlip to double middle finger splits

Most notably, Iowa GOAT Caitlin Clark. If not for her meteoric ascent, several members of the Iowa wrestling team would not have bet on the women's basketball team and not be suspended by the NCAA. This would mean Iowa would not have become so desperate for transfers which ultimately led to them pursuing AJ Ferrari and the other Ferrari brothers.

Compare AJ's behavior to what you see on a regular basis in professional sports (football, basketball, hockey, soccer, MMA)...it's really pretty tame. Trash talking, a shove here and there, flashing middle fingers...compare that to NFL players who literally KILL people and continue to have lucrative careers. Is AJ immature? Sure. Is he a jerk? Probably. But he's still an elite wrestler who can help Iowa beat Penn State this year. Plus, Penn State took on a guy like Andrew Long and hardly anyone batted their eyelashes.

Yes, most likely sans clothing.

All 3 Ferraris will wrestle in the black and gold. Book it.

Used to be Rutgers but now Iowa has taken up the mantle

Nothing about their behavior tonight should be surprising, thus the Brands should stay the course. Reacting strongly would be a kneejerk reaction.

He's hitched his wagon to the Ferraris. He needs all 3 to have a shot at taking out Penn State this year. He'll have to swallow all of their antics with a smile on his face.

Honestly, this is NBD.

Honestly, a shove, a few middle fingers are nothing they should be surprised about. The circus is worth the points in March. Brands would be a fool to make the Ferraris persona non grata based on tonight.

Is it true that AJ was mixing it up with Metcalf after the match?

With the exception of the "weird stance", all of the above also applies equally to Brooks.

Brands will take AJ because they need the other 2 brothers on the team. Package deal.

Brooks is actually about the same height as former 157 pound champ David Carr

Here is a side by side comparison of Brooks and AJ. Note that AJ is at least 2-3" taller than Brooks, who is noticeably shorter than the 165, 174, 197 and HWT champs.

Yes, he'll be starting for the Hawkeyes 2nd semester.

From Umoja to Imani, may all the blessings of Kwanzaa be yours.

I highly doubt we'll hear any Hawkeye fans booing when AJ runs out...

Brooks is a stud but AJ is also a NCAA champ at a higher weight and is naturally a much bigger man.

All will be forgiven by the Hawkeye faithful once he takes the mat in the black and gold...
