Non-PSU Recruiting

[Corby2]

Every program makes decisions on athletes based on financial situations. Penn State's lost wrestlers they wanted over money, OkSt has lost wrestlers and they have a billionaire donor.

There's a financial arms race going on right now and one school has muskets.

Definitely happens but that wasn't the situation here. What are Iowa's serious financial issues? How much money do they've?

Iowa has plenty of money ... for the portal.

Take this for whatever it’s worth to you based on the source, but Mineo is reporting that Brands rescinded the offer because Sonny didn’t go out to Iowa to train at all this summer.

Basch said Sonny “decommitted,” while Mineo said Brands pulled the offer for reasons that don’t really add up. So which is it?

Sonny decommitts so Brands tries to save face by saying he pulled the offer

They're spending it on the real Iowa wrestling program, the women's team

Actually it was the opposite. But it was smart by Sonny to post . This all happened yesterday

Well the $ for those programs are separate

So, let's review: Bassett wanted to go to Iowa in the summer to train but Brands wouldn't let/pay him. He tells the Bassetts they must pay their way. Bassett decommits. Sonny doesn't go to Iowa to train, so Brands pulls his offer. Do the Brands expect Sonny to pay his own way to go to Iowa and train? It seems that way. I don't know about Sonny's family's finances, but expecting recruits to pay for cross country trips is not cool and not a great recruiting look.

Sonny didn't make it to Iowa City.

When PSU decided to take Nevills, Cael drove to Thomas Haines' house to explain why Haines needed to go elsewhere Cael did not feel the need to publicize anything. With the decision to not take Marsteller Cael and PSU let it appear as though Chance had a change of heart. When PSU went with Beard over Hoffman and the Hoffman family went public with some anger, PSU and Cael just stayed quiet and allowed them to vent.

Just my opinion, but Iowa looks much better if the story is allowed to be the kid changed his mind. Giving the "rescinded offer" to Mineto after the kid's post paints the Brands with an ugly color that hints of some bitterness.
