Non-Portal Movements for 2024-25

- Start date
We should let Iowa alone. They need wrestlers to compete and they aren't very good at making their own. Besides, it's only cheating to recruit other schools' wrestling rooms.
Both guys not in the portal.

Check my math, but two guys to take two Ls to PSU in the dual @$500K each, and the team losing at least 9 out of 10 duals, the price per team point will be $333,333.33. #ClutchPopped
What if one of them pulls a Cannon - wrestles for half a period and suffers a season ending injury? Poor gap-toothed Bob will have a seizure
Well now that the Olympics are over and there isn't any big wrestling competition coming up for a while, it's good to know that we can return to our favorite topic of Iowa bashing! 😈
Impossible. Cannon was in the portal.
The NCAA may not jump on this but you can be sure the people at ASU are livid and will raise it as an issue. I would have to think over time the anger from the programs losing these wrestlers would force someone’s hand. I could be wrong.
The Hawks are going all-in with 6th and 7th year Srs again. It hasn't worked out for them so far.
Eierman, Young, Marinelli, Kemerer, Spencer, Murin, Warner, Teske, Woods, Franek ... not a single finalist their last year, most fell short of their career-best finish.
To be honest, we haven't had much better luck with 6th-year guys.
Now they're doubling down with Cannon, Parco, Cobe, Teemer, Brands, Glazier, and Buchanon.
Do they ask Ayala to shrink down again now that Cannon is coming? What do they do with Cobe and Glazier?

Cannon lasted all of less than 1 period last year before being out for the season. Think of his pro rated payment per hour if it happens this year
Would have funny if Beth took the dais and said "Kirk, you're fired".
Cobe will likely be next. It must be a hard pill to swallow to come back from a 1-year suspension only to find you've been replaced by a 500K mercenary while you've working at minimum wage for the last 5 years.

I'd say it won't be exactly like that. Maybe something more along the lines of yelling at reporters, a la
'You're not asking the right person the right question. Ask the right questions. Why is Iowa being targeted??!! Whose behind it??!! It's not my job to ask those questions. Do your jobs!!!'
In other words, I have a hard time believing the coach would hold himself accountable with a self-imposed penalty while awaiting the NCAA's.
That said, kudos to Kirk (and Cade McNamara is still Iowa's new starting QB so ...).
That would be sad. Zach was their best story throughout last year and one of the best stories in wrestling. It had to be heartbreaking to learn he had been recruited over. A life-long Hawk fan who waited his turn and performed great ( until close losses at NCAAs). Wishing him the best wherever he wrestles.
@poorwrestler - he’s a Minnesota boy. Any chance the Gophers have a spot?
Willie has a lot at stake with his reputation to be putting stuff like this out there if it isn't true. I'm sure there are hoops to jump through but they seem to be done deal from the standpoint of commitments. I guess nothing is "done done" until they're rostered and in an Iowa singlet.
Pretty much zero chance of Slumlord Bob giving that speech.
Meanwhile, Ferentz got the day off, and only that day, vs Little Sisters of the Poor. Pretty good trade for a starting QB.
Unlikely. Salazar is moving up. 6th at 184 last year.
If I'm Glazier, I'm spending my last year in sunny Tempe. Zeke needs a 197 badly (the likely starter went 3-15 last year).
If Glazier really wanted to stick it to Iowa, he would reach out to Oklahoma State. I would take him over Luke Surber (no shade thrown here to my Ok State friends, just my opinion) especially after learning some of DT's secrets and rolling around with him.
I’ve heard Tempe is at least safer than Iran
So he could go to Tempe only to have Slumlord Millionaire immediately offer him the bag he never got the first time to bring him back?
We should root extra hard for Luke L to win a title - preferably over an Iowa opponent - as he was the target.
