Geez!! I know we’re all homers here and football season is down the drain. Didn’t think we’d want to see our best rivalries completely neutered lol
Ummmm…….. UChicago football didn’t fade from history, their president dropped the program in 1939 because he believed that big time football and academics did not mix. They didn’t have football again until the late 60s.If we retreat back into Big Ten history, we see that they said the same thing in the Chicago press about the University of Chicago football team. Multiple Big Ten champs, the faded out of the picture by the 1940’s. Football didn’t really need them and it doesn’t need Iowa Wrestling in any particular way now. Leave em’ alone. TNT are killin it.
I'd say history has proven the University of Chicago president to be largely correct.Ummmm……..

Which is the real prize. Antonio is legit but Ariah is going to be a killerWhich means Tan Tom will also get Ariah Mills.
And Singer he's been living out there and training as has Waters.Which means Tan Tom will also get Ariah Mills.
That might end up being the case, but then why hasn't he committed already?And Singer he's been living out there and training as has Waters.
Playing the long game to position well after Brands’ contract expires.Which is the real prize. Antonio is legit but Ariah is going to be a killer
Not sure I follow this logic. Singer could announce any time now. The fact that he has't done so yet doesn't mean much.That might end up being the case, but then why hasn't he committed already?
Flo and Ryan are chomping at the bit for the next hyped up Young Bucks documentary. “Young Bucks 2 - This time, we’re finishing 2nd!”Which is the real prize. Antonio is legit but Ariah is going to be a killer
Good pickup. Mastny is really good. Him and Merrill back to back in the lineup will be great for ISUIowa St picked up Jimmy Mastny IL he will be a 197 he's trained by Jordan Blanton
That's true. But he took his official there weeks ago and is living there ... so why wouldn't he announce if it's certain? Unless it's not certain yet.Not sure I follow this logic. Singer could announce any time now. The fact that he has't done so yet doesn't mean much.
Unless I'm missing something, which wouldn't be the first time.
Imagine Ohio St knows he just hasn't said it yet is my guessThat might end up being the case, but then why hasn't he committed already?

@Corby2 - saw your post on Iowa board re: RTC changes. Will NCAA really care about the alleged 250 mile rule violations when they’ve gone hands off on almost everything else?Leo Kocher was the coach there for 45 years I believe he's still an assistant. He's from my hometown he's a great guy
TBH.... i dont think it is fair to expect any of these kids to come in and be a 4x NCAA champ. look we got Blaze... and PJ Duke and while 4x champ is not out of the question. It is not Caels way. It is wrestle you best, work your tail off and continue to improve... and lets see where you stand at the end of the day. He has landed Starocci and Brooks as 4 and even 5x ers. but Ruth, Nolf, Zain, Nickal.... they were not 4x champs and yet they set the precedent for a dynasty. Heck DT was a 2x champ and look at the impact he had! Arnold, Ferrari, and some of these guys are really good but they are making it about beating PSU...as the line of success. Thats Iowas real problem... (THEY ARE FOCUSED MORE ON PSU then on IOWA)They still attract talent. The problem is just like Arnold was going to be the next 4 time champ, and now Ferrari is the next 4 time champ, and Bo was going to be the next 4 time champ, and now this kid is the next 4 time champ the talent attracted to Iowa's tradition and grind never find the gold. Talent will show up, they will become tough as hell and they will be limited in their success. Then they will rinse it and repeat it expecting better results.
thats true if they were not so active in the portal. I said the other day... they have become portal dependent (but they do it well)By my math, after his redshirt, Amato will start wrestling just as Kueter and Arnold are leaving. So, just to tread water Iowa needs to land recruits in the 2027 class on par with their 2023 class, which means Kueter, Arnold and also includes Ryder Block. Amato seems to be about Block’s pedigree, so they need a couple top 5 commits now or they continue to regress towards irrelevancy.
He probably is a little over rated but still a very good get for a program that desperately needs a very good get right now!Willie previously mentioned on that board the next reranking Amato was going to fall from #3, Flo has him #30 right now. This was before his performance at Elite 8 duals where some Iowa fans expressed concern about his offensive production there. Quite a few expressed skepticism for a while that he was really a Top 5 level guy.
Will say the kids potential is pretty obvious though.
agreed.... NCAA wrestling is better with IOWA and OKST as contendersWrestling needs a strong Iowa, wether we like it or not
Apparently they don't heat their libraries!U Chicago got some baller libraries. My favorite school in the country.View attachment 953236View attachment 953237View attachment 953239
They do. If you can get up around the ceiling it is hot as heck.Apparently they don't heat their libraries!
Well … the President of University of Iowa won’t make that mistake. By the way, after winning the Big Ten twice in the 20’s, the Univ of Chicago football team had a long swoon before the Prez pulled the plug.Ummmm…….. UChicago football didn’t fade from history, their president dropped the program in 1939 because he believed that big time football and academics did not mix. They didn’t have football again until the late 60s.

Top Ranked Mills Flips from Missouri to Ohio State
A day after earning a 7-6 victory in the 126 lb weight class over New Jersey’s Paul Kenny at the Who’s #1 event, Antonio Mills (Athens Christian, GA) has changed his college commitment. Mills was previously committed to Missouri; however, he took to social media to announce that he flipped to Ohi...intermatwrestle.com
This has been rumored in Columbia for a month or so that Mills could flip. Teequavious also committed with Antonio so I’m wondering if he stays or goes he’s the middle brother of Antonio and Uriah. Speculation started when Uriah was wearing tOSU gear at the trails and the world championships.Which means Tan Tom will also get Ariah Mills.
From Delbarton, NJ. His dad wrestled for Michigan
I completely forgot about Block. Kasak beat him in a close match at the Pittsburgh Classic and then it seems like Block went MIA.By my math, after his redshirt, Amato will start wrestling just as Kueter and Arnold are leaving. So, just to tread water Iowa needs to land recruits in the 2027 class on par with their 2023 class, which means Kueter, Arnold and also includes Ryder Block.

Is he at the Naval Academy? If not, can he compete at Navy?Nate didn't make the Seals but is still in the Navy and has been back on the mat lately and looks great. I hope he finds that love again and we see him at Navy with Kolat
No and no.Is he at the Naval Academy? If not, can he compete at Navy?
Ok St and Nebraska are stronger programs right now. Iowa is it’s own worst enemy.Wrestling needs a strong Iowa, wether we like it or not
It’s not our fault they have nose dived. The game has changed and they haven’t adapted. That’s on them.Disagree
Iowa is a cornerstone of wrestling fandom and viewership. I love seeing PSU wipe the mat with them in a dual, but I like it when it’s our title contender taking out their all American contender
