This is how I feel with TNT and Iowa Wrestling right now...

He has zero working hands and has been that way all year. He has been clearly working through an injury and gutting it out. Props to him
He's been taping up his left hand that way for 2+ years. If he's got some kind of permanent injury to his hand he shouldn't have been recruited to transfer here. He'll be lucky to win a match or two at nationals based on what we're seeing.

I finally got my son into wrestling and this is what he gets to watch. I was happy as hell to begin the season but now I just hear how bad we suck and it’s just irritating haha

Wow Iowa got worked in that first half. Awful efforts and 0 offense at every weight except 133. When was the last time Minnesota spanked our *** at home like this. It’s becoming embarrassing and harder to defend this staff.

as much as I might be underwhelmed by the potential candidates a change might be in order

Williams laying on the mat like a dead fish is the perfect visual for this program right now.
Guys like Bailey, willliams, Peterson, and any other fringe AA transfer don’t belong in an Iowa lineup. They are patch work for **** recruiting by the Brands. Not only do they struggle to recruit an entire roster, blue chip recruits do nothing under them.

No disagreement from me, brother. I’m just saying the effort is there. I will rarely blame the wrestlers. I blame the captain for the recruiting whiffs, reliance on transfers, lack of developing wrestles and the myriad of injuries.
