Another rant...at what point will the coaching staff stop recruiting guys that are always too short for their weight class?

The inability to finish takedown will continue until that changes.

Just watch Arnold next year.

I'm dogging the refs not Haines. All tourney long backing straight off the mat gets you a stall call. The figure 4 on the they head was upheld, but was still an iffy call.

Haines is capable of so much more, not doubting the kid.
That’s as clear a figure 4 as it gets. There’s no wiggle room on that rule.

Haines was on his legs all match too. That was just a great match by two very good wrestlers. Not everything has to work as a grand narrative. Haines won that match fair and square.

MM is going to finish his career with one loss and that loss being on riding time to David Carr.

He’s probably a top 10 folkstyle wrestler of all time. But yeah **** Mikey for not being able to beat him!
I'm not dissing on Mikey.. it's the same argument I have for the rest of the program - one program is innovating and improving, and other just isn't, and it shows when a great kid like MC goes out and puts it all out there against like you say probably one of the all time greats, and that gap that was getting closer, swung way back the other way. my criticism is aimed at those in the corner.

MM wasn’t coming to Iowa anyways. He’s an AWA kid. It sort of fits into the narrative you posted, but regardless. Iowa had 0% chance with him.

Absolutely ridiculous NEITHER of those were called takedowns. It couldn't be more obvious on the replay. I will say MM probably could have been called for an illegal slam but still just awful officiating. Just scrap the replay if whoever is reviewing them doesn't know what a takedown is.

I'm not buying the injury thing. I'm thinking it's closer to Tom or Terry did not like the effort or attitude and showed JW that no matter what his potential they are still running the program. If that's the case I don't think I could fault them. Either way there is no way VV's potential is anywhere close to JW's no matter what anyone says. Not even close.
JW isn’t injured. Don’t care what anyone says. All ya gotta do is go to his IG and see the video he posted 2 days ago grinding on his gf in a little dance video. Tom picked VV to be the starter plain and simple.
