I'd almost rather we didn't. We should wipe the floor with everyone this year with or without Nagao. And if he goes to Iowa, it's harder for them to whine about us using transfers to win titles.

I believe Cael must think we still have a shot or Cannon would have already committed. I for one really don't care because I really don't think one is all the much better than the other.
Not me. I'd rather have Cael and Co curb stomp the competition. Iowa has done quite well in the portal, time for Cael to own that one also. Although I don't want that at the expense of losing high level recruits.
Well, when you put it like that...
Having spent the first half of my life living under the dark cloud of Dan Gable dominance, I want 10 champions and Iowa in shambles. No mercy.
Does anyone know what time the announcement is going to happen? I looked but couldn't find a time.

The upside of Nagao to Iowa is we have already seen his peak, so Carl can get somebody who knows something about recruiting to bring in a guy that somebody who knows something about coaching can work with to devise a game plan to beat him. Maybe even with one arm behind his back.

so wrestling with Lee certainly isn't gonna make him the next Lee!!LOL
I don't post much on here , but I'm calling Nagao to Penn State. I got a feeling..... If I'm wrong it will just reinforce the reason I hardly post on this forum.
We have NIL money; it just won't be offered upfront as a signing bonus.
I imagine Nagao talked to the wrestlers and has an idea of what is available. If he feels he can put together a fair package, he might still pick us, unless Iowa made an offer he can't refuse.

Gonna be a good night...
Or maybe I shouldn't post here anymore either. Ha
I wonder if Spencer is still that big a draw for young wrestlers.
He came to Iowa as an all-timer, ready to save the entire program. He left battered, bruised, and flat on his back, with his team 55 points out 1st.
Not the best look.

He was to be the pipeline from PA to Iowa. It never materialized.
We might have to start our own board if we're wrong. Ha
Tikk, would this be considered a binding contract?
asking for a friend(the board)
I saw you and Don liked that post. My good night just got flushed down the toilet. Lol
We are an hour out. Let's get our predictions in. God tells him to go to Penn State, he decides to go to Iowa anyway. Then he gets swallowed by a whale.
Nagao is definitely heading to Penn State because Iowa already has Teske for one more year at 133. And we all know TnT do not recruit over someone else.
It's sad what Covid did to Spencer. If they hold the 2020 tournament, Spencer is an overwhelming favorite and Iowa was the favorite to win the team title. Then 2021 would be his swan song in NCAA wrestling, and he wins with no ACLs while leading Iowa to it's second straight title and goes out of college wrestling a 4-time champ and conquering hero with the famous last words "excuses are for wusses" as he leaves his shoes on the mat, and people are debating whether he really is the GOAT or not (I still don't see any reason Cael wouldn't be, but at least there is a reasonable conversation about it).
Of course, that's not what happened. 2020 was canceled. 21 was title three on no ACLs, but he rushes back for the 22 season without surgery to make one last run with KemDog, The Bull, and The Riddler, and can't go, so he gets the surgery very late in the game and tries to come back from double ACL reconstruction in 9 months and is never really 100%, and spends his last moments in college wrestling counting rafters while missing out on his 4th instead of delivering his "excuses" line after triumphantly winning his 4th.
But he was injured all season and that's the reason he lost and defaulted out. But he is entered in the U.S. Open. He is a quick healer unlike his mom's glasses..
I’ve waded deep into the 2020 NCAA brackets. I’m convinced Penn State was going to win. I know how they placed at Big Tens.
The question
The question is, without her glasses, will she ever see Spencer wrestle again?
Yeah, covid derailed a lot of plans. At least Spencer got the extra year.
Joseph and Hall lost their 4th NCAA tourney entirely.
Interesting reading this I decided to go back and look at the brackets and I just don’t see it , too many weights with no points.
Disagree about Iowa winning 2 straight if they had a 2020 tournament. Iowa would have lost Marinelli, Kemerer and Eireman in 2021 if there was no Covid.
Hell…without Covid, PSU would’ve had Cenzo and Mark in 2020, so even 1 Iowa title wasn’t a given, even though they would have been the favorites.
I predict that within the hour, GIA will be forecasting a better finish by Teske at the NCAA Tournament than Nagao.
