He’s been good. I’ll cut him slack while that continues and hope it does.
Iowa
- Thread starter WildTurk
- Start date
Listening to Willie’s first word from Friday makes it seem like at least Woods and Cass may be involved. He was focusing on guys who may be able to take an ORS and whether that’s a workaround (it is not). They would be the guys on the current team who could even sniff an ORS I would think. Why even bring up the ORS hypothetical if they were room guys, low level starters
Let’s cool it on the speculation and just deal with both maybe wanting to take a year and focus on freestyle. Many do it. If they got it, use it. Heck, Gable still has a year left…
Well, what is Real supposed to spend all that slumlord money on...in Iowa? You can only take so many trips to the Field of Dreams place.
AJ I believe has 3 years and an ORS left.
2021 - COVID Year
2022 - Counts since he wrestled in January
2023 - Redshirt year
Since he's an age world medalist and NCAA champ, he can take an Olympic redshirt year next year so all in all, even if he can't wrestle next year due to the trial, if he's cleared and admitted (long shot), he has plenty of time to wrestle with his brothers.
In theory, he could wrestle 3 years with his brothers if everything goes perfectly. Now between his statement of wanting to go MMA ASAP (he's turning 22 this year and probably wants a head start) and the likelihood the Ferraris last that long in Iowa, I'm going to say he's never wrestling in college again, mainly because I don't think he will be admitted to Iowa and Anthony might be a long shot as well.

Willie already said "significant names" which leads everyone to think a heavy returning point scorer (Woods, Cassioppi, Nelson) but it could also just mean a regular starter who could score points at NCAAs or losing them would cost the CyHawk dual or something
Yeah I am a bit surprised Willie didn't qualify the mention of Woods, Carr and Cassi as pure speculation just to discuss the ORS wrinkle. He may/should clarify this in the next few days.
I doubt the Iowa or Iowa St staffs would have released this info to anyone, even insiders. Likewise if anyone in the know has told Willie something, his history with respecting sensitive info is pretty solid.
I'll give Willie the benefit of the doubt and in his next show he either clarifies he has no reliable info on specific names and was using those three simply to explore the ORS angle, or that he has heard from multiple sources that these three might be focal points of the investigation. I suspect at this time it's the former.

Imagine taking an ORS not to, you know, train for the Olympics or something, but rather because you have a pending trial for felony sexual assault and can't get admitted into a college program because of it. That would probably lead to a major reconsideration of the availability of ORS's.
does iowa have a work release program??LOL
I saw that Iowa has 49 returning points. Minus these two it’s got to be around 25.
Including Ayala's 2022 tournament, Iowa returns 48.5 pts, which would be 4th, clearly behind Missouri, and very close to NC State, VT, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ohio State.
Woods + Cass = 33.5 pts. Removing them puts Iowa just outside the top 20, tied with Oregon State.
| Name | WT | Pts |
| Drake Ayala | 125 | 0.5 |
| Brody Teske | 133 | 0.5 |
| Real Woods | 141 | 19.0 |
| Cobe Siebrecht | 157 | 1.5 |
| Patrick Kennedy | 165 | 1.5 |
| Nelson Brands | 174 | 10.0 |
| Abe Assad | 184 | 1.0 |
| Tony Cassioppi | 285 | 14.5 |
i thought i made it clear that i was speaking hypothetically. that being said, i will do so at the top of the next show.
appreciate y'all listening. and for the feedback.

The latest on Iowa's big recruit:
https://imgur.io/a/wRiDow2#1b492l6
Apparently, Anthony Ferrari posted a video of his privates covered up by an emoji and turned around and showed his behind and made an inappropriate comment. Apparently, the video showed his face. It is now deleted.
At the very least, he is a constant source of entertainment.

Saw the deleted post and wish I hadn’t. Anthony has a very distinguishable tattoo on his chest so it’s definitely him.
I warned our peeps on GIA that they would not like Anthony's side hustle.
I even told @WexfordWarrior about it in a phone call while we were discussing OTT tickets. He's not a good person, not even close.

And so it begins.... I would say we are in store for at least 4 more years of entertainment, but something tells me to bet the under.
That was actually Anthony's video application to Iowa admissions office that was leaked. Certainly he'll get accepted now, as he was doing NIL work for the "InnerCircle" and GIA. Perfect fit.
I really hope that Iowa admissions doesn't bungle this, and all three Ferrari's get accepted, and the whole family moves to IC. The theatrical benefit will be off the charts and gives me additional reading material on the crapper.
Iowa really not having a good off season this year, and it doesn't sound the other shoe has dropped yet
What did @WexfordWarrior do to you?
They’re great kids. We’re just jealous Cael has no shot at landing them
In Kazakhstan, you never see women in groups except for in brothel or in graveWhere have we seen this before?
The "his account was hacked" defense is priceless. Um, even if true, how does that explain the existence of the video? Was that deepfaked?
Mastro hacked it, either that or Chittum.
If the video was something "leaked" why would there be censoring? Don't think hackers/leakers care about "decency" He clearly meant to post on his Instagram for attention before realizing (maybe after a teammate told him) it was a very bad idea.
The latest GIA gossip says the account was definitely hacked, and they have definitive proof that the video contained either a stunt asshole or deepfake browneye. 6 months from the start of the season and thus stuff is just getting started.

"And then he turns around and spreads his butt cheeks" LOL Is there no decency?
He's just practicing for future cavity searches.
