He ain't starting on that team anyhow, and wouldn't sniff PSU lineup. Kind of suprised he signed. Figured him more for smaller school for chance to start.
Nevertheless it restarts the Young Guns pipeline and starts the Bishop McCort pipeline - leading to Bassett, Forrest, Miller and Hutcherson commitments
He didn't sign, simply verbally said "yes".
According to the goofball tribe everybody in the world is going to be a Hawk until they aren't. Of course then everybody cheated and that kid isn't very good and isn't needed anyhow and was never going to crack the lineup.
The all-time best was Jason Nolf being an Iowa lock because he took a pic of himself calling stalling at the Gable statue, as a quick stop on the way to NCAAs in Ames.
Then you listen to his recent interview where the only team he mentions wanting to wrestle for is Cornell and eventually calls Cael just because his dad was riding him about make a decision and and formulate a plan.
A little early for hutcherson don't ya think? Saw him a True Power a couple weeks ago, and wasn't overly impressed. Is he good for a Freshman upper weight, yes, but someone like Dayton Pitzer was better at that age IMO.
Don’t tell some of the Hawkeye fanatics hyperventilating over any McCort kid. I think they figured out that the all Sebolt strategy is maybe not the way to go
You've always been savvy in the way you make ur point more of a point. Funny stuff... lol
Absolutely love how the same people who called out the poster calling Owen a room guy are the very same people who have called countless other recruits the very same thing. Also track this year how many of them call out starters this year for poor performances. If Owen wasn't a Bassett teammate nothing would have been said.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Totally disagree. Hutcherson is 10 times more skilled than Pitzer as a 9th grader. Pitzer was just bigger and stronger then everyone at that age. Personally I love the Hutcherson kid. It's a big jump for a freshman to high school nationally and one thing i like about Hutcherson is he doesn't run from competition. Pitzer barely wrestled any national events. Miller fits PSU way more than he does Iowa.
No way Forrest goes to Iowa. He doesn't fit in there at all. I think it's Oklahoma State or PSU. I could see Bassett to Iowa and that would have Miller follow. If/when Casey and Cael get their hands on Hutcherson they will work their magic.
Forrest just seems like a kid that fits better at PSU with the laid back no pressure atmosphere. He seems like a real loosy goosy kid. If that makes sense. He also has a big family that he would be moving away from.
Oh, my. Man, before I spotted the Clinton creeper, I'd thought for sure the woman was your wife or one of your daughters lmao
I might be completely wrong here, but I just think Iowa is no longer "it", and they haven't come to grips with it. To me, "it" is room/training fit. "It" is RTC fit. "It" is vision fit. I don't believe Iowa has a believable vision to put in front of elite recruits that explains how the next 15 years can go for the recruit at Iowa versus PSU, OSU, and tOSU. I just think Iowa is burdened by the past, that while successful, no longer transitions into the future climate in collegiate wrestling.
Iowa's problem is they are so 80's, the whole "work harder" and ignoring the modern way to train, that is "work smarter, not harder". Nolf on the "Wrestling Changed My Life" podcast stated that PSU practices are about 90 minutes. Sure they are doing some work on their own, but bottom line, they are not getting the hell beat out of them. Most people like avoiding the grind. Nolf went from working out/practicing for 4 hours a day in high school to 90 minutes at PSU. Same story for David Taylor.
I think another problem Iowa currently has is the twins are not (ABSOLUTELY NOT, NEVER EVER, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!) going to make a change that gives the impression they copied Cael and Penn State.
They need to focus on what can be, unburdened by what has been.
Subliminal I guess 😉They need to focus on what can be, unburdened by what has been.
