@Misalorales I'm about halfway through the 26-50th ranked kids right now. I'm just going back 10 years...2016-2025 recruiting classes...but that's still 250 names to sift through on track. I can give you some of the data right now.

  • Only 18.4% of all recruits in this range ever made it to the podium.
  • The numbers are slightly skewed simply because any recruit from 2022-2025 still has multiple years of eligibility left.
  • If you only look at guys that have exhausted their eligibility, 22.0% made the podium at least once.
  • Of the 13 recruits from 2021-2025 who AA'ed, only 5 have made the podium more than once. That can obviously change since so many of those guys have a lot of eligibility left.
I should have the rest of this group done in the next 24 hours. I will tell you that this subset of recruits will have significantly better numbers than the two groups below them...significantly better. The 51-75 group has less than half of the total number of AA guys (notables-Mikey Caliendo, Kyle Parco, Zach Elam, Max Dean, etc.). 76-100 is even less. I'm not entirely sure how much value in going beyond that but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

Beginning??? Getting Bobby Douglas axed and then leaving ISU should have been a HUGE red flag.
I'll refrain on making a judgement on whether or not it was a red flag, but it was pretty surprising how that all unfolded. Trust me when I say it left a bad taste in quite a few people's mouths close to the situation.

Yeah, former high level and highly respected athletes are always super willing to detail abuse by former teammates, especially when it's sexual in nature. I'm sure he made it all up and the person he accused just so happens to not be part of the program anymore... all just innocent "rumors".
You guys are great at sweeping that stuff under the rug, must be something in the water up there.
Look up rumors in the dictionary its right beside the thesuris if you are struggling with that. How many times on this board was something said about an iowa wrestler doing something and its just someone hearing something and repeating it. Wtf already. I could just say iowa is cheating and start spewing that **** all over. Someone will pick it up and repeat it as truth. Get the facts jack or you are just like everyone else on here full of **** lol

Really i will give you the sandusky nobody is defending that but star finger blasting. Why because bueas girl said so really. Lol. Like a i said rumor
Seems odd that a 5x champ, that they paid well over a million to return for that 5th year, wouldn’t be on the NLWC roster, doesn’t it?

Why... that's just a "rumor" too... isn't it??
Sarcasm? I know, they’re squeaky clean over there. They can sleep easy at night!
Rumor has it that one of their guys got caught soliciting a prostitute. Rumor has it a couple of their guys got suspended for banned substances. Just rumors though…oh wait

Thank you.
I have 90 names left from the 26-50 group. This exercise has reminded me how much I hate trackwrestling at times. Some of these guys have 2-3 track profiles with various years spread among them...and once I crossed into the classes that were on campus for 2020-21 things started to take longer. Going to track is still a helluva lot faster than going through each individual wrestlers school bios, but not by as much as I thought it would.
I'm just hoping I can get this one wrapped up by this time tomorrow. I'll probably just create a unique thread for it so that it doesn't get lost in all of this crap.
