Cass is crashing to 197 to fit Gable. AJ says he can handle 184. Wants CStar. Grabbing Alirez and Porco, too. Brand’s building super squad.
It's funny how they pat themselves on the back for loyalty.
Last year, it was Cannon, Nagao, Bouzakis, Anthony & AJ Ferrari, Griffith, Truax, Buchanan, and Gable ... plus the ones they got.
I guess trying to recruit over doesn't count.

As a collective HR (GIA) is well within the border confining the idiotic.
Looks like Iowa fans are pessimistic- not even predicting 150 this year:
“Ayala 20
Petersen 3
Ailerez 20
Parco 15
Caliendo 15
Kennedy 10
Arnold 15
Brands 15
AJF 20
Kueter 10
Like I said IMO that line up contends.”

Not 150, but a good healthy 143. My interpretation is 3 champs with no bonuses points. Probably each champ securing five 3 (escape and 2 stall points, a strong Iowa style win) - 1 decisions. The four 15 point scorers I am assuming 4 runner-ups with the same 3 - 1 type of victories but in the finals after each loss there was a team point deduction for throwing shoes at the ref for not enough granted stall points.
One helluva performance, in one NCAA tournament Iowa is going to have a decade worth of champs and 7 years worth of finalists.
It's an interesting way of counting points. 70 of the 143 points come from guys not on the roster.
Well it is the off season you know.
And only 1 starter at a returning weight. Bless their heart

One last curtain call, to expose your BS.
The last two P's here are 100% false. How do I know? I asked her. You can too at the opening of the new Facility on the 30th. I'll be there and happy to drill with you inside or outside in the light you prefer.
Back into retirement.

What a weekend. While it wasn't the best for the Hawks - I still love talking to the best fans of the world's oldest and gratest! Let's run it down shall we!
Lineup:
125: Ayala
133 - Peterson/portal
141 - Portal
149 - Block
157 - Caliendo/Siebrecht
165 - PK
174 - Arnold
184 - Brands
197 - Glazier
285 - Kueter/Hill
Biggest surprise for me is Block at 149. But it looks like he'll be the man. Right now the plan is Caliendo to 157 (edited to add Siebrecht as well at 157) to get PK in the lineup. Brands medical was approved. AJ - somehow, yuck, - is still in the plans, but it sounds like he's just going to move on to MMA. Anthony is still around and is still a troublemaker. Why he's still around is absolutely absurd and when he does something worse, it's going to be on Tom.
There is no talk about changes to assistant. Like Wahlberg said - assistants are just extensions of Tom. Period. I think its short-sighted, arrogant, and at this point, just plain negligent, but hey, dems the breaks.
Sorry acuhawk - Tom's practices on a general basis are NOT 45-60 minutes. They are towards the end of the season, and certainly happen earlier than they used to, but that is not the typical practice time. But the practice time isn't really the biggest deal - it's still the intensity. Still long goes, still far more on the "dark places" track.
Now the biggie - yes. Kyven was right. The AD has plans to talk to DT. She is dead serious about WINNING chips again. She's not particularly happy with Tom at the moment. The gambling, the ferrari situation, and this performance - she's holding Tom accountable and will be looking to do what will have us beat carl. She is VERY AWARE of the legacy of Iowa wrestling and how we're falling further behind. Like I told you earlier, she shut down AJ coming in in January - she's not a fan and isn't a fan of Tom's decision to bring the circus in. She also told Tom to get a hold of Terry - it's why he's been "less" in the corners.
Now how this got out? Not sure, but it likely means there are Tom loyalists who wanted it leaked. Because the plan was to wait until after the Olympics to talk to DT. So now that its out, not sure if this will accelerate talks or stop them completely.

Has to be a joke?? A swimmer who passes around snow bunnies(he wishes) is going to scrap? What a tool.
All tools are equal, but some tools are more equal than others
Agreed, GIA is overflowing with them.
Come on. No way in the world you as a Hawkeye diehard aren't embarrassed by Nicolls.
I don't get embarrassed by much. Certainly not by someone I've never met, who affects me in zero capacity. Does the money man at PSU have skeletons in his closet?
Hmm a former gold medalist on a rampage tour through the rest of the NCAA’s or the third best heavyweight when he was a heavyweight.
We like big tone, good guy, but we like winning more. Save your energy, that poll won’t go the way you think it will.
Why would we be? Has he done something illegal to make his money. I think Iowa needs more passionate millionaire fans, not less.
Human beings are the only animals that experience shame; or needs to-some more than others.
Asking if someone has skeletons in their closet, everybody does, as a means of justifying someone else's public asshole persona is a bit weak. Of course you don't have much else to work with. So deflection it is, and a kind of wink wink acknowledgement that you recognize him for the ass he is but he is Iowa's ass.
The gambler is officially back for one last ride.
What do the 24-25 hawks look like?

I don't know but one guy over there just included a 1st place finish for him in his predictions.
Yeah but he's a tool lmfao. Nicols is the second biggest clown on gia behind some turd from new York
Or in language Iowa can understand: Win, not Place or Show.I don't know but one guy over there just included a 1st place finish for him in his predictions.
Spending $100,000s on a 1 year rental for a guy who’s ceiling is about 3rd place seems silly to me. Why not use it to recruit a stud who can start 4 years? I’m sure Iowa has tried. Recruits must really not trust TNT with their development.
It’s heartbreaking.
I am happy to see a mid level AA guy get a nice NIL payday before he wraps up his career.

This is exactly right. $100,000s would be better spent changing the perception of the team and the program than a short term 3rd place finisher and maybe a team 2nd. Not heartbreaking however. I have heard somewhere you get what you earn.
