Iowa news - 2024-25

Not sure if it would be an o shit. He would be 133 where you already have Davis and Nagao and eventually Luke. And Blaze 141. Ono holding 125 for a college season isn't happening. But like I said I would be shocked if he joins the team. He's also 21 now and from reading this board people don't like older people wrestling so not sure it would work with the fans. (joking obviously would be funny watching everyone change their tune on the age debate if he did enroll)
You mean like how the whole Iowa board did a 180 on recruiting (or just flat out buying) over kids once Slumlord opened up the pocket books? (Even though it started w/ Beard and Dean and Michael was never recruited over) ... ?
 
They showed him on the bench during the dual.

And you can find random "Gabe Arnold is transferring" tweets from various times over the past 6 months. I have a hard time believing this one.

What I don't understand is...why isn't Gabe wrestling 174 this year, if that is his long term weight. Nelson Brands is apparently better than Kennedy, but he just went 7 minutes wrestling a "maybe a title contender" tier guy at 174 without making a single offensive move. There can't be any illusions that Nelson is a title contender at the weight. So why not wrestle Gabe there? Is he NOT better than either of those two?

Why do you think Gabe can beat Nelson Brands?

He can't, that's why he's at 184 this year. If Ferrari demanded to come out of RS he'd be on the bench, despite what you may read over at whatever that site is called.

I don't necessarily think that.

I guess, like you said, the fact that he isn't starting in place of Brands is confirmation he isn't beating Brands.

Tried telling the hawk fans that nobody that certed 174 can beat Nelson. All fan bases have hard headed people that won't listen as you know 🤣🤣

It's hard to fathom considering Brands does absolutely nothing on the mat, but I believe you if you say so, you have the connections there. If Gabe Arnold, and PK as well for that matter, can't beat him, there's something seriously wrong in the Iowa room. Both are far more talented.

As crazy as Tom and Terry are even they arent crazy enough to sit through that snoozefest of an elimination match.

I think Brands wrestled last night only because it was his last Carver opportunity.
