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.

#sugarinthegastankCheck 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?

What's the math with Parco there too?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

Looks like at least$500K per point, assuming TnT don’t get a deduction.What's the math with Parco there too?
You mean his tenants will.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
Cannon going to Iowa too.Not in the portal, but not sure where else to put this. Perhaps we need a "Non-Portal Poaching" thread.
Impossible. Cannon was in the portal.Cannon going to Iowa too.
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.Bob is really forcing the issue here. Will anyone at the NCAA care? Probably not. Still seems like a pretty terrible overall strategy to elevate your program, IMO. I've always liked Teemer though.
How long until we see the wrestling version of this?Impossible. Cannon was in the portal.
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 yearThe 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.
Do they ask Ayala to shrink down again now that Cannon is coming?
Would have funny if Beth took the dais and said "Kirk, you're fired".
Heard Glazier is gone.
I'd say it won't be exactly like that. Maybe something more along the lines of yelling at reporters, a la
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.Heard Glazier is gone.
@poorwrestler - he’s a Minnesota boy. Any chance the Gophers have a spot?Heard Glazier is gone.
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.Might the NCAA be allowing this to play out? Right now these are just rumors.
If they do make a move they could easily add a few failed poaching attempts.
Pretty much zero chance of Slumlord Bob giving that speech.
Unlikely. Salazar is moving up. 6th at 184 last year.@poorwrestler - he’s a Minnesota boy. Any chance the Gophers have a spot?
I’ve heard Tempe is at least safer than IranUnlikely. 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).
IDK, Tempe seems to be the current top target for Slumlord Bob.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?IDK, Tempe seems to be the current top target for Slumlord Bob.
We should root extra hard for Luke L to win a title - preferably over an Iowa opponent - as he was the target.
