OK this is either 2 of the dumbest posts yet or maybe a terrible try at trolling? In any case, we need the REAL fans to get up in here quick!!!! These guys (Counting post bellow) are making you all look like FOOLS!!!!I'm failing to see any major upgrade in recruiting?
You got a stud lightweight in Deluca, no different than getting an Ayala, Gilman, Clark type. You guys draw the interest of lightweights (rightfully so!) I personally like Lilledahl, Knox more but Deluca is no slouch!
You got Gabe Arnold, great recruit, pretty equivalent to Marinelli, Kemerer level guys. Let's see how he does in a postseason before crowning him some 3 timer. I recall Marinelli having reach issues causing him issues at NCAAs and he had way more offense than Gabe.
You got Angelo Ferrari, that's your next crown jewel Spencer Lee type?
Then you got AJ, congrats that's your Eierman, ADS, Woods type transfer (~20 points at NCAAs)
Ben Kueter, currently shared with football. Let me know when he picks wrestling full time. Also, let's see how he does in college 285 folk instead of Iowa HS 220s. Agreed - ceiling is high though, need to be practicing year round though to reach it.
1) NEVER bring up light weights as a psu fan!!! YES ANOTHER STUD in DELUCA who could be a career 125. A #1 over all which I do not believe TnT ever had in Angelo, add in the #1 Transfer in brother AJ and another TOP 10 transfer in Brother 149!!!
ARNOLD is better then advertised and Big Ben would be ICING BABY!!!! But already this is potentially the best 2 years we ever had and MORE should be coming so WATCH OUT!!!!
This is worse then above!!!! AGAIN NEVER bring up 125!!!! Your idol is a HUGE failure here ruining so many kids, I will be amazed if any of the TOP kids are dumb enough to take the $$$$$$!!!I’ll say this about Spencer. A lot was made of the fact that he chose Iowa over Penn State, but it’s really not surprising. Cael had just recruited a better option in Suriano, so there wasn’t really a spot for Spencer. I get recruiting over people happens sometimes, but they weren’t going to be able to recruit Spencer under Suriano to be a David Evans style “super room guy” for three years. Spencer was one of the top 5 guys at his weight that year, at least before losing to DeSanto. He was always going to get a promise of a full ride and 4 years starting from a lesser school, which is what happened.
We all know what happened with Suriano. The first year he had that unfortunate ankle injury and couldn’t wrestle NCAAs, but since he was in the Penn State room at the time, it’s clear he would have won. Then he got homesick and after a bit too much of mom’s pasta and no real competition for him in the Rutgers room, he had to move up. Wrestling for Rutgers has to be demoralizing, but nonetheless, within 2 years he became the school’s first ever national champion. After he transferred back to a real program, he cut back to 125 to come after Spencer, but Spencer ducked him “to get surgery”, but we all know from your testimony that Spencer doesn’t actually need ACLs, so that was clearly a straight duck. Suriano finished with 3 championships like Spencer if you count the one he was clearly going to win for PSU, but one of them was with Rutgers, so that makes his career accomplishments much more impressive.
LEE destroyed suriano that is #1, 2nd, cael ran him outa town by pushing to wrestle injured! 3) A 1-2 punch of LEE and Suriano at 133 would have been real good put LEE was way TWOOOO smart!!!
ONCE AGAIN I will be proven correct real soon as LEE wins trails, and Olympics!!!
Dude, you are implying that you are on drugs or something else bad!!!! ANY kid who wrestles in college is high on the mountain. To wrestle D1 elevates you even more and a TOP program like IOWA, means you are amongst the best of the best!!!You implied that Iowa’s recruits suck. I would hate to wrestle for such an ungrateful fan base.
Oh well…you keep doing you, Ironbird!
Where you do not understand is somewhat remarkable! What I said is TOP recruits, this usually mean from 1-10 and maybe some in the teens. Obviously any others will bust out and develop, but by percentage, it is unbelievable how much the TOP kids wind up winning!
Once I figure out how to change my name? I will go to SIR IRON, or maybe IRONMAN!!! Iron butterfly had some good ones but they are no LED ZEPPELIN!!!Though always entertaining, the erratic, jump-cut flight path of your posts calls to mind a far better online ID, after a 60’s rock group my older brother liked. You are IRONBUTTERFLY
