Without Dean and Kerk they probably get a few more from Beard and Nevills, not sure how much though.
Imagine Iowa having to replace DeSanto, Lugo, The Riddler, Real Woods ...etc. Then no Ferrari bros. That portal is a lifeline for sure.
How would the NCAA Championships have worked out had all the schools NOT been able to utilize the portal or the transfer system? Only counting points from those recruited out of h.s.?
I don't like the portal or NIL, but the lawmakers and the NCAA made them happen. They set this system up this way.
Don't blame the coaches. Don't blame the wrestlers. They are not the ones who set it up this way.
Joey McKenna and Real Woods called and would like to have a word.
Oh, this is not a Stanford thing just a Rob Koll thing? Same Rob Koll that was STRONGLY rumored to be leaving Cornell for PSU b4 Sanderson nudged him aside. Same Rob Koll that left Cornell for Stanford? That Rob Koll?
No. Not better than Gable S.
Runner Up Prize is that he is the best Wrestler Named Lee. Few would have predicted this 2 years ago but it panned out none the less.
Maybe I should have written "after the call was placed". In other words, the simple equation of 911 + Foxcatcher Estate = John did something crazy was a locally known and proven concept.
I think I will stick to what has actually transpired. The actual history is already tough to remember without making stuff up and filling the gaps with what ifs.
The thread is about 2020 when no team won a title. I gave Iowa credit for the one 2021 title they actually won with that team.
I am simply pointing out that a lot of things can happen when an imagination is willing to go to those places such as the idea that a team was robbed of something they never had to begin with.
But that was an Iowa team where everyone got to hang on forever vs. a very young PSU team. Plus, Iowa does get credit for winning that year even though PSU never got a 4th year from Hall and Cenzo which may have tipped the scales in their favor. What they don't get credit for is winning a title that never happened, meaning 2020.
