Was hoping someone in this forum could help me track down what (I think) I recall being an old recruiting story regarding Spencer Lee.

Wasn’t there something about him being recognized by a campus staff member or janitor or something while on his official visit to Iowa? And that really highlighted to him what a wrestling crazed place Iowa is?

Hopefully I haven’t concocted this tale out of nothing in my head. But if anyone does know what I’m referring to and could help point me in the direction of the original source, I’d appreciate it!

its kind of connected. Part of Larry Lee's binder was that janitors didnt even know who wrestling recruits were. Bob contributed subscription money, and M* showed the janitorial staff how to access Willies big board.
