    Women's Recruiting Updates Thread: Hawks land commitment from one of nation's top lightweights, Ryleigh Sturgill

    Here's that forthcoming commitment I was referring to: Long-time Hawkeye fan (and elite lightweight prospect) Ryleigh Sturgill officially joins Iowa's 2027 recruiting class, becoming the fourth member to date (each of whom took their OV for the Cy-Hawk weekend last month).

    Women's Recruiting Updates Thread: Hawks land commitment from one of nation's top lightweights, Ryleigh Sturgill

    I’m not sure that I can technically call them a ‘silent commit’ per se. The language used was more so along the lines of “Iowa should have another commitment coming soon.” A subtle distinction, I realize, but in the case of Huffman I’d been explicitly told that she had already committed and...

    Yep, there are quite a few on the current roster already. And there has also been a pair of Iowa men’s/women’s wrestling family crossovers to date: - Tony and Rose Cassioppi - Samantha and David Calkins

    Yep - you’re going to start seeing a lot more of those sibling ties going forward. Bouzakis has two older brothers in the D1 ranks (at Ohio St and Pittsburgh), and Sturgill has a brother entering his second year at Indiana.

I'll be posting all pertinent updates in here going forward - and will alter the thread subheading to highlight the latest news. (I will also post a separate thread for...

    Women's Recruiting Updates Thread: Hawks land commitment from one of nation's top lightweights, Ryleigh Sturgill

    Bouzakis is the obvious headliner of next weekend's crop of visitors, but don't sleep on the other three, either: - Cameron Leng (#8 at 125), the younger sister of current Hawkeye Cali Leng, is a 2x Fargo All-American. - Julia Araujo (#5 at 155) has been a regular top five placer at all the...

    ARTICLE: 2026-27 Men’s Schedule Surveillance

    You’re talking about the “For Her Duals” - which was started last year because the move of the Soldier Salute from late December to early January put it too close to the women’s National Duals.
