    April 1 Portal targets

    Willie, do you have any idea what school(s) Meyer is looking at? And when do you anticipate we started hearing of some finalized deals with portal guys.

    Portal April 1st

    Couldn’t agree more, I think the recruiting failures are directly tied to lack of individual champs. Kem/bull/eierman/woods/ never winning was a gut punch. Can include Drake in that group as well. Iowa wins the team title in ‘21, but Penn state has 4 champs (I believe) and the whole finals was...

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    I’m sure mineo is trolling, but he posted the Yianni to Iowa rumor. So it won’t be happening

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    My guess is gwiz will be the replacement for Telford.

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    for those of you who were at the tourney, any rumblings on potential portal names? Would imagine Iowa will be busy

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    Keegan O Toole is an assistant at Mizzou. He comes off as someone who will be a good coach, direct line to AWA kids as well. He Yianni and Nolf seem like good options

    POLL: Should this season be Tom Brands last as HC at Iowa?

    I think this plays a major role in not getting recruits. Gotta prove you can make guys national champs. Bull/kem/eierman/woods not winning a title really hurt.

    Fire Tom Ryan

    Any chance that okie state can keep it close?

    PK was ranked higher than Keegan O Toole coming out of high school. Not sure if many remember, his first match of his career was against Mikey Labriola. He bumped up as a true freshman and lived on his legs IIRC, just couldn’t finish. Was undersized but it was a very promising match to see as a...

    I can’t anymore…

    Never thought I’d see the day the Iowa football team is more offensive than the wrestling team. and for the record, I don’t blame the wrestlers at all. This is completely on the coaching staff. Sucks seeing guys get roasted on here, this is essentially the same thing we’ve watched for numerous...

    It’s time

    I live 4.5 hours away from Iowa city. Bought season tickets for 5 years up until last year. Used to make most of the home duals, we had an absolute blast making the trips. But I’m not spending that time and money to watch a bunch of 1 takedown/OT matches.

    New coach or not?

    I couldn’t agree more with all the sentiment regarding nolf, he would be a home run hire, imo. one name not mentioned is Keegan O Toole. Very respectful and well spoken, askrens protege. Extremely high level technique and understanding of scrambling.

    Penn St. PBP

    While you are technically correct about talent discrepancies, you can’t possibly sit here and ignore how much better Penn state is developing wrestlers compared to Iowa. Our most aggressive a best wrestler wasn’t even close to being ranked top 10 PFP and transferred from a small school. People...

    Tom and Terry

    I feel bad for our wrestlers. There’s no reason all these talented kids are not shooting and being more aggressive. There is such a massive coaching discrepancy in the development of technique, especially from their feet.
