In Iowa desperation news…
- Thread starter CSauertiegPSU
- Start date
Need pics of wife
the family already moved they all got jobs from mr lee!
Haven't both Gilman and Ayala's mom both stated that Spencer basically doesn't wrestle guys in the room?
Just a weird comment from him...
The NLWC guys just don’t have time to help the undergrads - unlike Lord Spencer
sTaR pOwEr!!!!!!
MVP says only alumni can help, and only in their first 5 years after completing eligibility.
Guess they have to scan their Alumni Association card before entering.
They also have the Slumlord Millionaire wrestling room now, too. Don't underestimate that.
They're all feeling their oats today since this tweet came out.
Which can be found in this old thread that got new life today.

Occam’s Razor says AJ is just an idiot who never had to feel the full consequences of his ridiculous actions.
Prison would be a fitting change of pace for him.
In Spencer's interview, he stated that the middle Ferrari wasn't recruited by Iowa. Ferrari just kinda committed.
Iowa is recruiting the youngest one though.
Iowa is recruiting the youngest one though.
Lee can't be dumb enough to believe that. If they're recruiting one, they're recruiting the whole family directly or indirectly.
“I think this is the first thread I've ever started.
Check out the roster now. We have a lot of goers and training partners for the undergrads, and the star power of Lee
Lee, ADS, Eierman, Lugo, Sorenson, Young, Bull, JWar, Burak. I'm missing a guy or two, I think
I know the Nitwits have the star power, but just how much time do they spend with the undergrads there. Most are pretty busy with other endeavors”
That’s a different issue. He'll have to resolve his sexual assault case somehow. If he’s guilty of that, then yeah, a little hard time might be in his future.

Simply amazing how clueless they are about the state of the sport outside of Iowa City.
If located in PA, HWC would be the 4th best RTC behind PSU, Penn, and Lehigh. And probably not so far ahead of Pitt once Bonaccorsi joins PWC.
Fortunately their delusion is good for single moms hoping to not get evicted this month.
Um .... according to Drake's mom, Spencer doesn't even roll around with him when he is actually still a rostered member of the Iowa team, why would he do it after he's done?
But to answer his question I've literally seen videos of Kyle Dake rolling a round with Tyler Kasak, a high school senior.
Spencer is probably the worst example to use because he's pretty open about how atypical his training regimen is. He barely gets to wrestle at all and probably sticks to a small group of trusted partners when he does. For example, there was a stretch of time where every time there was a pic or video of him training, he was with Sorensen.
He's talked about how hard it is for him to get in shape a lot this year because he has to do it on a bike. He can't run and his wrestling is limited.
I know a lot of the alumni/HWC members wrestle with the college guys a lot.
There is nothing to wrong with that either. Just saying Mr. Nicoll's statement is laughably false then because Lee is the big "come train with this guy" and the reality is he won't be training with any Iowa college lightweights. It's hard to imagine you can get a very good workout in with Spencer if you have to be very careful with him since he rightfully has to be bubble wrapped. Then after him, who is the big star power? All great wrestlers and a good room but it's laughable to compare to PSU so the only thing he can say is our guys don't practice with the college team.
I'm pretty sure NLWC guys scrap with PSU wrestlers all the time. Everything I hear, there isn't assigned partners in the room and there's no belief it has to be one guy or the other. In fact, Cael notoriously separates guys sometimes he thinks will get too violent with each other (Zain/Nolf were basically forbidden to) Gilman obviously was rolling around with RBY a ton. Levi got tons of work in with Zain as a high school season (and you might have seen some moves translate) and I just mentioned there has been numerous practice videos of Dake scrapping with Kasak.

Awesome! A new tunnel for Cael to corner Iowa wrestlers to come to Penn State!
Hey...if he thinks everything is great at the HWC and there's no need to change anything, who are we to argue?
I applaud and fully support the leadership of Iowa Wrestling. May their next 10 years be just as successful as their previous 10 years!

I haven't been on the board that long, and have spent even less time snooping around HR/GIA.
Has Bob Nicolls always been this delusional? Or, is this a late-life development?
I agree that there’s no comparison to NLWC but they gotta start somewhere. Desanto, Lugo, Marinelli, Young, and Warner are very good veteran training partners. Eierman should be back as well for a year once he finishes rehab before he leaves to fight. Cass will step in after next year too and be a great partner for Kueter/whoever their next heavyweight is.
I think it is quite understandable that the man whose name will be on the new facility's wrestling room would only have positive things to say about the men who occupy it.
His comparison of the current HWC athletes to those at the NLWC, questioning the NLWC's relative availability, is 100% in line with this thinking.
While I don't believe he is correct in his assessment, I appreciate him believing. Belief does not require facts or evidence. It is an act of faith. Making what others might see as a way over-the-top assertion could have been fully intended.
Maintaining a most hopeful future is better than the alternatives that come to my mind.
His "act of faith" is just reinforcing the problems that they have. It's not addressing let alone fixing their myriad problems.
Throwing money at a facility but having (checks roster) Alex Marinelli as your best practice partner is not the path to NCAA and post-graduate success that I would prescribe, if I was in charge.
It's one thing to believe in University of _____ wrestling, _____ State football, or any other athletic program or individual sport, but burying your head in the sand when problems exist does not help improve the program. What are they doing to attract more world class athletes to Iowa City? What changes will they make to help the athletes that are there, now?
Cael previously talked about the Penn State Facilities
www.pennlive.com
"There's a lot of nice facilities and facilities don't win national championships. I mean, it's your attitude. As blessed as we are, kids don't come here because we have a hot and cold tub. If they do they're probably not the right kids.''
It seems like he thinks they're adequate but that is from 2016. I think Kraft wants to do some major upgrades and renovations but I don't think Cael wants to fundraise and pump millions into building new ones, especially with how long it'd take. If anything, it makes more sense to invest money in NIL and the RTC, where money actually hits the athletes pocket in a sport with only 9.9.
Do Penn State's top-notch wrestling facilities go hand-in-hand with national championships?
Having a great wrestling facility doesn't necessarily result in national championships. Winning an NCAA title or five, however, just might result in a great wrestling facility. At least that's the way Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson looks at things,...

Probably from exposure to lead paint in the outdated, mid-century apartment complexes he’s gobbling up
