The NCAA is basically Iowa's best recruiting visit.... I wonder who the Brands talked into committing this yr 🤔... Larkins??? AJ??? Ty Watters???

As long as Lilledahl is Spencer's closest competition at 57KG, even 50 percent Spencer should be able to keep that spot. Spencer might lose if someone comes along with some high risk offense like his World Cup loss and RAF loss, but he isn't going to lose that whatever wrestling style that is.
Hope you sleep well tonight. The bald one has a very small window.

My son was never held back, and wrestled alot of these kids in age level stuff since they were super young. He has a September birthday, and just finished his freshman season as a 19 year old. You are correct. Hell, he started wrestling Bo when they were 8u lol.
how did he do?

Taylor has to be pretty happy with where the program is in year two.
Can't remember if it was ding dong one (MSU) or ding dong two (Corby) who laughed at me and said Okie State was still years away from competing for number 2 and would never compete with PSU as long as Cael's there. Hmmm, our non-Iowa fans clearly aren't as smart as they think. And with the crew DT has coming in it's going to get interesting as soon as next year. He's got hammers in the room, hammers coming in, and surely one or two studs will jump ship and head to DT land before next season. Glad we finally have some competition at NCAAs, even if it's not us. And of course, I'm pretty happy to see tOSU and ISU lose to our boys.

Well, without the mastery of coaching experience that the Brands boys have, who could actually do better? Sharp guys I'm sure they are. Taylor certainly wouldn't do worse, and maybe he could have gotten some momentum. Instead, clown boys are celebrating fourth. At Iowa.

Explain my insecurities, Hannibal. Please, this should be fun.
Was hoping to have a conversation. I do have to go, now, so a few things:​
(1) just curious how you know what everytone thinks?​
(2) you know what I think is insecure: hating on a program and wishing their wrestlers lose due to jealousy. Furthermore, always looking for the worst in them or their actions. Who's insecure, dipshit?​

There is no such thing. Ask spencer i never thought he would be beat.
He got beat by covid and 3 ACLs... that some serious bad beats!

That said, I like Jax's chances, not Vega or Robideau. But they could improve greatly under DT.

Add in Raneys and Ross...PSU ain't so unbeatable. Too bad we'll be eliminated on Friday.

125 was much more exciting when Lord Spencer was getting decked and glasses were being crushed. I agree.

how did he do?
Not at that level anymore lol. He had a good season as a freshman though. Its crazy the way the sport works. He has brackets at home with tournaments he's won. Now that he's older, alot of those names, stood on the podium today. He just went a bit of a different path around the beginning of high school. Wrestling wasn't number 1. He has a weird combo of qualifying for Hershey and also being a state player in golf. We never pushed. Probably should have more. I was coaching, and didn't want to be that parent. Saw too many of them.
