    Recruiting….

    I saw the rumor that the kid came once to train, and stole someone's equipment (whatever that means). Anyone can say anything on a message board, so I take it with a grain of salt. But that would at least make sense, in terms of providing context about the relationship deteriorating. Separate...

    NEWS: 2027 pledge Sonny Amato announces decommitment

    Withholding judgment until the full story is out, but nothing surprises me at this point. It almost doesn't matter what the story is. Constant drama and continued lackluster results are a bad combination.

    Bonus Point Trivia

    Bonus bonus trivia question: How many of Tsirtsis's 21 NCAA matches were decided by 1 point or OT? (A: 14!) Wrestleknownothing, does he hold the NCAA record for OT bouts/wins?

    Next Years Lineup

    I'll go with 75 and 4th place. Wrestlestat predicts 59.2 and 5th place, which I think is too low. But we have too many 7-8-R12 guys, as usual, and not enough finalists/champs. We're not catching Penn State or Okie State, or probably Nebraska.

    Recruiting….

    For the record, K Peterson is ranked #31 at 141. He was #42 last season (probably too low), going 18-4. His biggest win was #21 Ricciardi (Navy), with whom he split matches at Soldier Salute. Ricciardi went 1-2 at NCAAs. Petersen also majored D3 champ Kade Blume. His other 3 losses were to...

    Ferrari rumor

    I've consistently felt that our recruiting has overemphasized "living the right life." That may not be based on anything real--I can't point to anyone we've lost because of it. I just wonder if Tom would've recruited Alger (Gable said he'd take 10 of him), or Randy Lewis, or Brad Penrith, or...

    Ferrari rumor

    Guilty. I wanted him on the team until this latest incident. Or maybe not guilty, since I don't want him on next year's squad and didn't disappear like a roach. But I recognized myself in your description.

    Terry Brands interview

    Okay, I watched/listened over the course of 3 days, and I'm glad I did. Nice job by both. It reminded me of what I like and respect about him: his intensity, his goal setting, his humility, his humor. He's a good guy. I'd love to hear him talk more about his college years, because those were...

    Well, crap, now I'm going to have to watch it. 😕

    Terry Brands interview

    I started to watch it--but 90 minutes?? I need the 100-word AI summary, please.

    About time for this...

    I grew up in Colorado and wrestled at NYU (I went for film school, not the wrestling program). At 24 I was still dabbling in freestyle tournaments, and my plan was to wrestle one more time--at freestyle nationals--then retire from wrestling and focus on a career. But I lost 2 in a row, 15-0 and...

    Portal April 1st

    Quick note on MSU158: good guy, knowledgeable, wrestling fan. I disagree with his opinion of what constitutes acceptable performance by Iowa, and I think he drives his points into the ground by repeating them over and over. But the first sentence is the key with him. MSU is just an opinionated...

    Portal April 1st

    We finished 89 points behind the championship team at NCAAs, and 38.5 points behind the runner up. We finished 11-6 in duals. Both performances are unacceptably crappy for a storied program like Iowa. Everything else is apologetic spin.

    157 next year

    I prefer the JW to the VV drug. One is a hallucinogenic that can be a good trip or a bad trip. The other is just a downer.

    157 next year

    1. Re JW: I'm happy to see it, though I know that opinion is not universally shared. I'd like to see him succeed at Iowa. 2. Uh-oh. Another flareup of bad blood, and this time the evil Drake Ayala is to blame? Sorry, not buying it anymore. This level of bad blood isn't normal or healthy, and...
