Iowa news for 2024-25

They clearly should have sunk their $$$ into coaches rather than rentals. I see little to no open recognition over there that OSU may not be in the rear view mirror as soon as season’s end.
They sunk a lot of money into the coaches. Brands is signed thru 2029, and he ain't cheap -- $550k in 2023.

They need to sink more money into the RTC, to import senior-level athletes like Cael and Taylor and Bormet and Ryan have done.

I’m wondering if the money has been dangled but without any bites. Maybe Terry’s act has gotten old to the new generation. Minus Spencer and Austin.

Unfortunately for them, only former Hawkeyes seem to be allowed to wrestle for HWC.

Combine that with their penchant for burning bridges with just about every former Hawkeye that isn't still connected to the program, and they have very limited opportunities to improve the RTC.

Terry hasn't been the RTC Coach for several years. It's Dan Dennis.

The bottom line is that the college program's biggest benefactor is solely focused on NCAA results, and the best athletes consider that secondary to World/Olympic results.

From what I hear, they need to sink some money into some windows.

My post still stands. He’s close enough to it all. :)

Anyone have any of the old articles declaring Iowan supremacy over Cael around the start of his PSU tenure? Believe it was from some beat writer type? I’d like to renew my hatred just in time for the dual
