    NEWS: Jordan Williams to enter transfer portal after one season at Iowa

    All reasonable points. This may well be entirely on JW. Likewise, the Endene situation may be entirely on Endene, and the Bassett situation entirely on the Bassetts. If it were 2009 I wouldn't question any of it. Now my mind immediately goes to, "Okay, what did Tom do this time?" Not entirely...

    NEWS: Jordan Williams to enter transfer portal after one season at Iowa

    I've lost confidence in Brands and no longer give him the benefit of the doubt. I think it was a bone-headed decision not to put the best guy out there when you need every point you can get. JW had a high ceiling and a low floor, while VV had a low ceiling and low floor. To claim VV had the...

    NEWS: Jordan Williams to enter transfer portal after one season at Iowa

    Tom showed: (a) he's the boss (b) proving you're the boss is more important than finding ways to motivate your athletes (c) proving you're the boss is more important than putting your best team on the mat at NCAAs, which may have something to do with why you've only scored 100 points at NCAAs...

    Tale of the Tape

    Respectable (average) finish to a bad year. 4th place NCAAs, 7 AAs, 1 finalist, 91.5 points. Adding 2026 NCAA stats to career tallies: Avg NCAA Points: Brands (19 seasons) = 90.0 Zalesky (9 seasons) = 91.3 Gable (21 seasons) = 120.7 Sanderson (16 seasons): 128.9 Taylor (2 seasons) = 116.75...

    I'd take that. Kueter's mom may disagree.

    Seeds for NCAA

    Yeah, I agree. Now that my switch has flipped to wanting a regime change, I tend to no longer give him the benefit of the doubt on incidents that cost us team points--whether it be Bo, Endene, Williams, etc. That's not totally fair, because who knows the real details? Easy to armchair QB. It's...

    Seeds for NCAA

    I don't see Drake getting to the finals regardless, so the only benefit to him winning QF match is that it guarantees his AA. But he can score just as many points on the backside if he loses in QF. He did look good at B1G, so you never know.

    Brands post B1G Tourney thoughts

    "We want to be on the championship side." "We've got work to do." "We're going to Cleveland."

    My thoughts on the Iowa performance this weekend.

    I agree with most of what you said, MSU. (Then I slapped myself after reading your 10 additional posts all saying the same thing.) Iowa had a relatively good weekend--"relatively good" defined as 4th place in the B1Gs and looking at probable 6th at NCAAs. Which could also be termed "relatively...
