Iowa's philosophy for next year....
- Thread starter Psubiomed
- Start date
They are over there plugging in an all star team of potential transfers. They literally have 8 weights where they are talking about transfers.
Which is what happens when you can't recruit.
Apparently no one else can recruit either. Look at the team standings. It’s not just Iowa.
- Notice all the holes in the program
- foster the sense of entitlement that they can select all the top AAs from all other small schools and assume they will all come to Iowa.
I'm looking at Michigans completely bought and paid for team and they have about 3 or so more points than Iowa. Why do your fans want that?
It's a rite of passage for them now: Every March, wait for the tournament to end, and whoever you like or finished on the podium, they immediately go to "Go get Nasir Bailey" or "Go get Keckeisen" and on and on ..
Every team should be looking at potential transfers to fill gaps.
8 gaps? You got people over there slotting transfers over Rathje, Franzek, Kennedy, Etc
It’s easy to cherry pick posters who have no clue what they are talking about. Those guys probably think Gable is coming out of retirement to coach next year.
When your gaps are 8 weight classes, that is a recruiting/development issue.
You better not be looking at me pal... Or it will be a bridge meeting.
The objective guys like @jmadden1998 know that.
If I was King of Iowa, Morningstar and Telford would be given a pink slip.
Not to mention all the clowns that come out just for the national tournament and have no clue what teams do through the year lmfao. Of course every board seems to have them
It’s a wish list. Like saying what you’ll spend your money on when you win the lottery. It will never happen. It’s also our way of recognizing good young wrestlers and giving them credit. Hopeful excitement for the future. No need to be a prick about it. We’re fans after all, and not many of us enjoy losing.
Congrats on your teams success. Why be a jerk about winning?
Your problem is your philosophy and your getting 2nd and third place trophies until that changes.
It’s not my philosophy, im not coaching these guys. If you’ve read any of my post this weekend on that other forum you would know with certainty that I see major flaws with how Iowa wrestles and more specifically finishes takedowns.
For example their ability to leg pass is atrocious and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a guy score from the waterfall position.
If by philosophy you mean recruits are better than transfers, then I’d offer up a no shit as a reply. But if you can’t do one, you best do the other. If Iowa does bring in any transfers, they better know how to scramble, because at this point I’m not sure the Iowa coaches can help them.
Don’t respond to that guy above, he’s a notorious troll.
Iowa is a floundering program on the decline. In the next couple years, Ohio State will be the Lions closest rival; however I expect the Bucks to continue to set deadlift PRs but struggle in the down position.
Tell me you blindly hate Iowa without telling me you blindly hate Iowa. They will be in the mix with everyone else, just not close to Penn St.
I don't hate Iowa, but I sure don't care for the half of your fan base that plays the Sandusky card from over a decade ago. That's repulsive.
I don't "hate Iowa" at least the way you mean it. I posted here about my respect for Woods after he visited that kid in the hospital. Gable made me interested in wrestling decades ago and I have relatives in Iowa, one of whom sent me a picture of the scoreboard after the loss at CHA in 2020.
That said, I get tired of seeing their wrestlers look like MASH unit escapees, especially Kemmerer, who by all accounts is a decent human being, but is now done with wrestling and hoping his shoulders aren't arthritic in five years. Other than Ayala, the rest of the team exhibited the usual March swoon, and my guess is this pattern is because the psychotic squirrels running the show run them into the ground. It's like the Brands brothers really believe "that which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger".
Then there's the whole Ferrari circus. Tell me why Glazier, who was second fiddle to Warner all those years should have ever worried about being displaced by a guy that's been in court more than on the mat in the last couple years. Who gave him the singlet to pose in? Ok, it's possible that was stolen, but somebody had to give him the keys to the weight room so he can engage in his curious blend of ego lifting and sanctimony.
I think Ryan's got a team on the ascent.
This will probably shock people but I DO hate Iowa.
I'm passionate about it too...
I'm passionate about it too...
Set me up with your employer and I'll hate them passionately too.
Money doesn't talk, it screams bloody murder.
That which doesn't kill you, probably puts you in the hospital ICU.
I loved watching Iowa wrestle. They are just like their football team. Painful on offense. I know this level of dominance won’t last forever, but they are irrelevant right now.
I also hate Iowa, and really really hate their fans.
Kind of funny most people who hate Iowa wrestling hate the brands brothers. Before that not so much hmmmmm.
Absolutely. Without question. Didn't hate Zalesky, didn't hate Dan, didn't hate Kurtlemier.
It's about the chipmunk twins for me
I used to like their fans plenty. Until they started the **** State thing and the Sandusky card thing and the Carl thing and the 2011 thing and the slush fund thing and the Andrew long thing and the carl can't coach thing...and the....
Yeah that is what did it for me. I used to respect Iowa. The Brands are absolute morons. As a coach, they represent everything stupid and meat headed about bad coaching.
