Seriously though, will this jeopardize the 3rd brother's commitment if they toss the older two?

Brooks vs AJ PBP:

First period:

AJ plants his feet firmly on the OOB line but still gets taken down
Brooks flattens him and AJ can't move, Brooks builds up 2:00 of RT
At the end of the period AJ shoves Brooks and gives up a penalty point

Second period:

AJ chooses neutral
Brooks with another easy takedown as the go out of bounds
On the restart AJ throws an elbow to try and injure Brooks another penalty point
AJ fakes an injury ala Desanto and skulks away
That’s great stuff although I’d insert AJ gets DQ’d after throwing the elbow. Then AJ goes into crowd to beat up hecklers.

Some on the Iowa board are saying the Iowa crowd heckled the Ferrari family after AJ's match.
There was definitely booing of him after the match. Sounded like they’re not great fans but then again they might have just been booing a takedown as they’re not familiar with that sort of thing lately at any weight past 141 and prefer to win the Iowa Way.
 
Are either older Ferrari officially Hawkeyes yet? I saw this weekend AJ was on an official visit so he isn't a Hawkeye yet.
 
Does the experiment end here? What do the Ferraris even bring to the table wrestling wise right now? Anthony isn't the best 149 and Glazier was neck and neck with AJ.

Even if he didn't pull the bullshit at the end he still looked like a moron. Who in the hell thought a guy who got gassed by Zach Glazier was going to beat Aaron Brooks? AJ isn't a serious person, you can't be that much of a egotistical moron and beat top guys in the NCAAs.

Iowa is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope the Ferrari shitshow lasts at least the whole year but in reality they will be kicked out of school in a month or so.
I think it's over now. I don't see TNT trying to defend this.
AJ is definitely out imo, the rest will follow suit.
What a dumbass, he won the damn match.

Can you imagine AJ sitting in a college classroom? What if a professor gives him a bad grade? Does he start throwing punches? Are other students safe?

I’m hoping it ends here. Glazier showed enough let AJ and Anthony roll to elsewhere and try to fix up the locker room the best you can. I’m sure Iowa AD is not going to be happy with brands.

Other takes are that TnT are so desperate that they won’t cut bait, which is a fair take. But I’m with you, I think they cut bait, and Angelo can come or go.
 
Does Mr. Ferrari pat his boys on the back or slap them across the face and say “Are you guys f-in idiots?”

Don’t know who’s going to take Angelo if he wants to be with his brothers tbh. I hope he stays because he’s an elite prospect but I don’t see the older 2 lasting after this exchange.

You’re probably right but really hope you’re wrong. Imagine the drama, infighting and total destruction of the Iowa wrestling locker room with a full year of these clowns.

Hindsight 20-20, recruiting him solo like most other schools (except I think Iowa State) was probably the right move, you had enough to sell as is.
i think Tom is/was overconfident in his ability to reform. He did some awesome work with Desanto and probably thought he could do something similar here while also taking a shortcut to getting elite talent.
 
What are the chances Anthony will be a team player if he ends up on the bench?

He doesn't exactly have any leverage. Whatever he might have had, his 2 meathead brothers publicly threw away today.
 
I was happy when they brought Arnold and his race baiting dad as I figured that would divide the program, but these ford focus guys are even better than I hoped. Quietly Zach Glazier has really improved and does a really nice job at 197. I also thought the match at 165 was really physical and both of those guys behaved like real sportsmen after the match. Please keep these guys. Build around that family. Bring the well hung uncle to Iowa City to help keep everything in line. Trust TNT they say;)
