Don’t know the circumstances so won’t judge but the reality is that JW can compete with almost anyone when he’s on. And VV definitely did not have an at-large resume IMO so not shocked to see him left off.
It's funny. I remember when VV was a hs senior and was strongly recruited by top programs. Including Iowa. When he chose the Pokes I thought it was really a loss. I guess he didn't progress to match his level of recruitment. At least yet. Maybe never. Anyone think 157 next year is JW, VV, portal or maybe Estrada? Not looking optimistic .

I’m assuming that JW is gone.

My guess is that Block moves to 157…the weight cut is clearly getting to him…and Estrada roles at 149.

It's only a matter of time until IronTurd starts wish casting Joe Sealey into your lineup and then claiming that will be enough to beat PSU. LOL.

You can be more definitive. As a RS frosh at Okie State he went 2-2 at the NCAAs.

I remember after his RS freshman year knowing it wasnt a loss. But Iowa had to take who they could get because they suck at recruiting. That #1 2021 class for OSU was a bust just like most Iowa classes. They did something about it tho. Give them credit.

Everyone remember the good ole days when most Iowa wrestlers routinely got 1st period takedowns???
