    I don't think we watched the same tournament.
  2. Winners Circle
    He did not win a match at Pac-12s.

    I'm aware. Lmao. I think Dogbone may have missed the sarcasm though.
  4. Winners Circle
    First time here?

    The speed of the slam has nothing to do with it. Lmao. It's illegal because he's a wrist and a half and took him straight back.

    Are we going to act like him battling cancer was not a huge obstacle to overcome? And that there was obvious question marks about what level he'd be able to get back to? It's no different than an athlete that battles serious injuries their whole HS career. We know how good you were BEFORE, but we're unsure how good you can be AFTER. It's unfortunate that he went through that, and I have nothing but respect for him. He's way tougher than I ever will be. But it's something that is factored in.
  9. Winners Circle
    Exactly. He was #35 for a reason.

    Also referred to them as "cowards".
  11. Winners Circle
    No probably. It is 100% an illegal slam because of the trap arm.

    I think it depends on the kid. No HS kid has wrestled more than Bassett, Forrest, Knox, Seidel, Raneys, etc. and they don't seem to be HEW.

    No doubt. But Cael's teams have been able to win titles, despite his 5th-7th year guys underperforming their last years. That's the difference between the two situations.
  14. Winners Circle
    Pretty young too to be HEW.
  15. Winners Circle
    I think this is more likely the case. And Iowa just happens to have built their recent teams off those kind of guys. Which was kind of my point.

    Yea you're right about that. I'm not denying it. But Cael isn't on the hot seat, while Brands is on the hot seat by HIS OWN FANS. If you're an Iowa fan and don't want Brands gone I'm sorry for getting you worked up. I have no dog in the fight. I'm an Okie State fan. I am just friends with some Hawk fans who are ready to see Brands go for the reasons I said.

    Absolutely. Happy for him.

    He was #35 on @Husker_Du's 2023 Big Board. I would not consider that a 'top-level' recruit. A good/great recruit? Absolutely. Top-level? No. To me, top-level is top 15-20ish. If your definition is different than that then there ya go.

    What does Penn State have to do with Iowa's athletes regressing over their careers at Iowa?
  21. Winners Circle
    No offense to Cannon, but he was not ever a 'top-level' recruit.

    So Woods got worse from junior to senior season though no? By the metric we're using. Starocci won a title on a blown knee. Same with Spencer. So the 'blew his knee out' excuse is played out in my opinion. Eierman finished 2nd at B1Gs and was the 2 seed at NCAAs. We can't pick and choose when results count. If you take the mat, you're good to go. I stand corrected on Desanto. I give you that one.

    Sammy Alvirez from Rutgers/OSU/Rider?
  24. Winners Circle
    These three all finished lower their senior years than junior years. I am not sure on Lugo. Too lazy to look. Caliendo's story is still being written.
  25. Winners Circle
    Agree with this. I think this was the straw that broke the camel's back. tOSU fans seems to be unhappy with their top-level recruits (which they are getting) under developing and underperforming. Jesse Mendez is the only top level recruit you can point to and say 'He has gotten a lot better there.'
