He was getting pennies at Cornell. Apparently they're willing to shirt Trelli.

That is completely uncalled for. He is a kid who has struggles but i bet he has accomplished more than you and your 8-5 and what every ******** lie you come up with your past. Who did you wrestle for again?

Not uncalled for. Him jumping in the portal despite his struggles and what Grey/Cornell have done for him is completely ungrateful. I would absolutely say it to his face as well for the decision he's making.

Hope he gets it together though.

Well then... Plan makes no sense then. Maybe Trelli moves

LOL. Not.

It's what I was told yesterday. Didn't make sense to me then, doesn't make sense to me now, but that's what I was told.

Like Corby has tried to tell you guys, information changes. I like sharing what i'm allowed to with the board.
Except Yianni was NEVER coming to Iowa. I know this for a fact. He was never even offered the spot. Yes, things change but not in this case.

Sure, but all you needed to do was take a minute to ask yourself, does this make sense, does he have a redshirt? Instead you choose to just get it out as quick as you can and then say "things change" when it is inevitably BS. Trust but verify.

Eh. it happens. Now that I think about it - it's very possible I misheard the redshirting part, and that Meyer would redshirt.

Which... is a TURRIBLE IDEA. The kid barely likes the sport week to week, now you're going to give him a year off? No freaking way would I risk that.

Meyer himself fells like he could use a redshirt. i'm not saying that it's out of the question that he starts this year, but that's what i'm told.

As for Nebraska, they are in play for VRob and Meyer, have a rather big question at 49 and a bona fide hole at 184.
Appreciate the insight. What about other high end portal entries? Zepeda, Crookham, Fuggitt, Carter Schubert, and maybe others?

Zepeda i really don't have a read on. Moses Mendoza (FR at MICH) is his brother, so they make a bunch of sense. i'm not sure how i feel about Zepeda at Iowa. that's a four-year guy right in the same wheelhouse as a ton of your top commits. could he be the best guy? absolutely. would you see some of your commits open up? you could probably guarantee that.

Crookham - no idea. love crookham (he's from right here in my back yard) so i'd love to see him w/ the Hawks, but they are tight lipped. i don't have any info.

Fugitt - set on going 141. visited tOSU last week. rumor is he's likely to go there or Mizzou.

Me thinks this board is making the recruitment of the contemporary athlete to complicated. Shake hands and simply; "hey what's your number" ($). No need to spend hours, days, weeks on vists, entertainment, and chasing rumors. It's 2026, not 1985, see NCAA v Alston.

Yeah, I was hoping he’d be 157 for 2 years and big enough for 165; but it seems like he will be a 149 for most of his collegiate career and I would hate to lose any of our 27 class.

I kept hearing Fugitt is going to tOSU, but at the time I didn’t know if there was any truth to that.

Thanks for the clarification and insight Willie!

The portal just opened Wednesday. Visits start in earnest this weekend.



They had their best finish 2 years ago. There transfers were a failure. All 3 AAs came to ISU out of HS, though the Columbus Strangler did take a hiatus at OSU.

From 1.5 points the prior to taking over, to 2 top 10s in 3 years. Something has gone right there. Has it been gangbusters? I’d say no.
wow. 2 top 10's. what a joke.
