Telford is going to be the designated flak-catcher
Why anyone talks sh&t about athletes on a message board, or directly to a recruit on X is absolutely beyond me. Parents read message boards. Why do people not understand this simple concept? And yes, it pisses off parents. A lot.
Agree unless it is a Ferrari and who would want those parents encouraging their kids to go to PSU.
While I agree in this particular instance, nuance is lost on some people and they might see "PSU making fun of HS athlete" and think that applies to everyone, as opposed to specific people for specific reasons.
If you want to see some trash talk, go to the Iowa page on Facebook and read the comments posted below the photo stating that yesterday was the date that Marinelli committed to the Hawks.
OTOH, whoever it was that got blown up most spectacularly by Neil Alton on the old site ...
I'm not encouraging that fan trash talk by any means. Some people need a reminder that it's not OK. And if idiots are gonna say idiotic things, then the rest of us can use the entertainment when they get put in their place.
Iowa Wrestling will be hosting an outstanding group of recruits for their official visit this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I mean 2 are walk-ons so that's kind of low.
Of the four coveted recruits they ought to be able to land Ross if he ever makes it to college wrestling. Maybe Mocco, but probably only if he's not an Ivy guy. I know he visited us, but how hard we we really going to recruit him? The other two they have no chance.
So you are thinking there is a 50-50 shot they get either Mocco or Seacrist to go with Ross?
I'm thinking they get Ross and 50/50 on Seacrist. No way on Mocco. Either PSU or OSU gets Mocco. I don't think a serious heavy considers Iowa with PSU and OSU rooms. Would you?
Steve Mocco left Iowa for OSU, so legacy...
Tea leaves say Nelson won the initial 174 wrestleoff against Gabe Arnold. Obviously noteworthy since every had him going 184 despite what he said on Flo.
It's kind of wild that despite the horses mouth saying something, people didn't believe the horse.

Cool. Didn’t Gabe call out CStar last year and didn’t take mat? Maybe he will this year at 184.
Or do they let Angelo take the whipping?
Saw McMullen verballed. So there's one but I think there's a chance that one may never actually happen...
what was the score 0-0 triple overtime tom picks the winner! LOL
I figured it would be Kennedy beating him but Arnold not being an immediate threat to win a title or even place top 8th isn't all that surprising.
FIFY
Arnold not being an immediate threat to break the lineup or even place top 8th isn't all that surprising.
I miss you on GIA. It's like I've lost a favorite pet.
they all want to see what a 2nd place team looks like!!
Then they went to the wrong place. I know Iowa aspires to second place. It's good to have goals.
Is this the same Arnold that was going beat C*?
Arnold is going to be a dud. He’s losing to high schoolers and they’re ticketing him for multiple NCs
Is Meyer going to be a dud? He got spanked by Dee and is the 157 title favorite.
Difference being Cornell has a track record of developing their studs that weigh more than 125.
Meyer baffles me with his inconsistency but at least he has way more offense than Arnold. As long as his head is screwed on straight, I think he can win multiple titles.
I just don’t see Arnold having enough offense and that’s going to limit his ceiling. He looks like he’s got the potential to hit quick, powerful takedowns, but he rarely lets it fly. He’s an absolute wall on defense, however.
Meyer was a 157 wrestling up at OTT. We saw Levi get overpowered also by doing that and he was a big 157.
You're comparing a guy favored to win an NCAA title to a guy who can't even make the varsity lineup.
Im comparing a guy who lost to a u20 silver medalist high schooler to a guy who lost to a u20 silver medalist high schooler.
