    Article: On Tom Brands' future, possible changes for Iowa wrestling | Leistikow

    It’s a good article. Most interesting thing to me is it says Goetz was involved in both the Bo Basset situation and the Endene situation and that Goetz was fully on board with both decisions. Stating the obvious, if we didn’t have either of those issues then attitudes about Iowa wrestling would...

    2027 recruiting

    Both his dad and his uncle played for ISU. I’m guessing he grew up rooting against Iowa.

    I don’t know anything about his dad but I couldn’t help noticing after the game this year that lots of Hawk players made a point of seeking out Nestor after the game. It seems he must have left on good terms with his teammates.

    Watching it live, I was surprised Dresser thought the lung timeout was a good idea given Kennedy looked gassed halfway through the match.

    I thought so too. He knew the team needed bonus and then he tried to do too much and it bit him in the butt. And in fairness, he turned out to be correct because if he only won by decision then we still would have lost the dual on criteria so we did need him to go for broke there.

    We are really going to need Mo at 197 and even then it would come down to criteria

    If all of the favorites win from here on out and Iowa can get 1 bonus point then this dual could end 16-16 and come down to criteria.

    Through all of regulation Paniro did nothing so there wasn’t much Block could do. Block was by far more active in regulation. In OT I would agree Block didn’t do much, I imagine because he liked his odds once they went down.

    Bailey shouldn’t have ever released him there when he was on top. If you are going to wrestle like that from neutral and nearly get teched you are better off just running out the clock on top to try to avoid giving up bonus.

    Entringer is gone?

    The last few years since NIL became a thing, it feels like we’ve had less guys leaving with eligibility remaining. If guys are going to be a late round pick, it feels like we should be able to get them enough NIL that they can make as much here as they would in the league, and give them the...

    New ranking for Mo?

    Is it too much to expect for the match against ISU to be a top 5 matchup? I know he was #8 and just beat #4 but I’m not sure how much he can jump if the guys above him didn’t lose. Also, how long has it been since someone made the jump from D3 to D1 and had this kind of success? I’m assuming...

    Nobody knows. I saw speculation that maybe he tweaked something or aggravated an old injury in the match against Bellarmine. I’m pretty sure he had offseason surgery. But beyond that it’s all just rumors and conjecture.

    You make good points and I don’t disagree with you. Given the information we have, it’s pretty fair to be skeptical how Angelo would do against the best 197s. It’s maybe stating the obvious but Angelo and the coaches know a lot more than any of us on this topic. For instance, I’ve seen...

    I looked it up just to make sure I wasn’t misremembering things. In the 2023 dual we bumped Gabe up to 184 and it worked as we won both weights. Obviously in this case we would be taking away one of our most likely wins and could potentially lose both. Here’s a link to a write-up of the 2023...

    Anyone think we will have Gabe go 184 and Angelo bump to 197 for this dual? I remember a couple years ago we did something similar against ISU.
