Thanks for the updates @D3 for LU

Hi Nima

I thought the Cinnabon bet involved a monetary amount and a Wisconsin dual, but may be misremembering.

I have no clue if the videos can be defined as child porn, but as Minnow has shown they’re being posted on child porn sites. It’s not clear if the account owner is doing the posting, but being as how he’s threatened legal action, he’s aware of where his work is being shown and that other people take issue with it even though he apparently doesn’t. Maybe he’s not breaking any laws, but the fact that he not only hasn’t taken down most of the videos, but is posting “new” ones (from some random Christmas tournament in 2021, wtf?) to me proves he’s a creep at best, probably worse.

Kudos to him for helping raise awareness about this issue. But I’m not necessarily convinced he “did more to try to stop this guy in the last 48 hours than law enforcement and the wrestling community did in a year.”

You know there is zero chance Brands comments about Ferrari unless he becomes part of the University of Iowa’s team

I give credit to him for raising awareness, but based on Pyles’ post, I’m sure authorities were already involved…

He wrote this also, but not sure what profiles he’s referring to. His Twitter (which wasn’t very active) and Instagram are still up.

I presume we won’t really know for sure (same with Anthony) until classes start

Yeah, but they can’t be tied to athletic performance or actually being on a particular team, right? Although I imagine throwing punches and the double bird split might violate some sort of ethics clause…

Thanks for your efforts. I assume they have to prove that he was the one posting the links, no?

Yes, I imagine “RTC’s only train freestyle” could be a sham too

I guess maybe we don’t know for sure, but why else would they coach him? HWC did tweet about having “room in the garage” for another Ferrari at one point

Yeah, as HWC Board Advisor, Brands should probably tell the HWC that it was a bad idea to allow AJ to train with them

Can you point me to where Alex Marinelli, Sorenson and Dennis are listed here? https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/wrestling/roster/ RTC’s technically have no affiliation with the school. I think that’s silly and they should, but they don’t.

Getting rid of singlets won’t get rid of pedophiles, but I bet it would make it a lot harder for them to enjoy wrestling, and for this creep to profit off them. You sure you’re not him?

You seem to have a habit of declaring that your opinion is fact then refusing to have further conversation. Odd

Yes you can

Two? Wasn’t DeSanto the only one?

The thing is, I’d be kinda surprised if he received a “larger amount,” although I know there was a rumor of a house or something. I mean did any other school even want him?

Agreed. The fact that he was very recently facing criminal charges and then does this in literally his first tournament following all that is a terrible look. I wonder if he was already paid any NIL money (as evidenced by his “bag secured” hashtag)…this is one instance where I’m really curious if these NIL deals have any sort of contracts involved…

I am ignorant of BJJ rules but there’s no striking allowed in wrestling either…

No argument here

Well, you might want to delete this tweet… Also, gotta give credit to Minnow actually using his reach for good.

Meh, I think it’s fair to say that was an apology. But I’m sure someone else made him do it and may have written it. But a little weird that it was a “story” or whatever which goes away after 24 hours I think, and Pyles said on the actual post there was a Scarface image or something which is odd. I believe AJ stands for Albert James and his dad is AJ Sr
