I’m curious, why would they not benefit training with the RTC a year prior to enrolling?

Not against your take, just curious.
Wrestling in Iowa City means you can only wrestle an "Iowa" high school schedule.

High school athletes can't attend RTC practice during the season anyway - so a schedule like Lake Highland Prep and Faith Christian AND team like they have, is light years ahead of the restrictive Iowa travel rules.

Got it, thanks Dad. But sometimes the truth prevails. Don't be afraid of it... learn from it.
Maybe he did (learn from it). I have not really followed what he's been up to these last couple years, but was made aware of Barstool as it was parked outside of Joe's (owned by a friend).. I happened to be in the room and his talk was inspiring. The guys loved it. He was around for an hour walking the mat, talking to guys, asking questions, encouraging them.

As to recruiting, we have two great classes rolling in the next two years of just those who have announced. There are others who are likely.

This is thirdhand by now, but Joe B is up around 200 and will wrestle 190 this HS season He said he's happy to wrestle at any weight for the team. Nice young man. Will be interesting which weights he and his brother end up at, certainly mid to uppers

157 and 197 are my guesses for them. Be interesting to see what happens between him and Singer . Both should be top 5 at 190 when the next rankings come out. 175 has past them both by so it seems like whoever isn't 190 will be 215

Go blow your boyfriend and shut the fu#k up. Nobedy wants to hear that ******** on the wrestling forum.
You don't want to hear info about the guy brought in to pump up the wrestling team? Thats wrestling info cletus. The truth hurts you.... so I get your frustration. But it's still the truth about John. Sorry that bothers you, and you don't like it. Better you continue to bury your head in the sand. Now go blow your boyfriend and shut up.

Only in the cesspool do you see a person criticize someone for a homophobic comment and then use a homophobic comment to insult someone else just minutes later….when you are in a wrestling recruiting thread.

Can someone remind me approximately when do the Juniors in HS start getting snatched up?

Juniors can take visits starting Aug 15 so just before Senior year

Doesnt Cael bring his business partner into the locker rooms that was a convicted sex offender? What’s your comment on that?

Not looking for any props. Just saying kind of cool having a celebrity come to a wrestling practice and promote Iowa wrestling. Sabula you need to relax and enjoy life. I think 157 is a huge need unless Block can put on good weight for next year
Thanks for that advice... in fact I took it to heart so much I am relaxing and enjoying life in Split, Croatia today and headed to Bari, Italy later this evening. Pretty relaxing! Good advice! 🙂

Then as I'm sure you know you posted this at 1am Croatia time. When you headed to Italy, 4am? Even if you're not full of sh** (which I think you are) why are you posting random crap in a cesspool thread at 1am on what you're representing as some life enjoying vacation?

It was actually posted pretty late Split time... so you were close. There's a 7-hour time difference between Bari/Split, and Iowa time. Then as I'm sure you know, not everyone goes to bed at 9 pm like you probably do. Shoved off for Bari shortly after that. Actually sitting there now. Arrivaderchi... and thanks for your interest! Ill drink a Peroni Dark just for you.
