Is he on the football team? Very rare for a kid to gain any weight during the season.
Paniro named in ISU gambling probe

Is it really worth it to pull the shirt? That's the question. The wrestling Team definitely needs him more than FB this year now however.
He probably plays mostly special teams this year. Not to many true freshman startimg middle linebackers at Iowa.
All things considered, and strictly from a team perspective, this upcoming season is the season to have this occur for Iowa since there was no shot for them at a team title anyway.
Well, at least the playing field has been leveled.
This would be the year for Cael to RS everyone he can because it’s a landslide like never seen before. I guess it really doesn’t matter one way or another because the gap has been growing for years and will continue to grow but my god. PSU wrestle offs will be the top dual of the year! It probably means the PSU top wrestlers will wrestle the absolute minimum to qualify.
I believe Cael and Co have further developed their recruiting and lineup planning to eiminate even the notion of a punt year from their equation.
Now what remains is their dedication to support of their athletes in furtherance of reaching their goals. That includes putting the individual athlete in the best position to make the NCAA podium, stand at its top, or be an Olympian and world medalist.
With this in mind, I expect RSs and Olympic RSs are in play, as they should be, but no plans for a punt year.

Here is the one piece not discussed-- Do the Iowa Four lose their scholarships? Why would Iowa give free tuition for guys that can't wrestle?
No deliberate punt year but why waste eligibility when the team title has all but been wrapped up? Iowa just got gutted with 4-5 key guys bowing out. Cornell, Michigan, and Missouri will battle for second but at around 70 team points. Can't imagine O$U being in it with Sasso out now. Again, many of the PSU wrestlers will only be wrestling the bare minimum number of matches to qualify because their only real opponent be injury. Yes, use the Olympic RS if it doesn't upset the future lineup plan. How many guys have that available?
Whole point is you can be tracked. Even this guy who turns 60 in a week knows that.
He looks like a can’t miss nfl pro prospect to me, I’m betting he can play. The kid looks like Captain America and he’s pretty sharp. My guess is he could play, start, and make some serious headlines this year.
Over-under on number on HR who blame Cael for getting their guys caught gambling. I think 5 is a good starting point.
Over-under on HR guys who solely blame the NCAA for the mess their wrestlers are in. And also think they should just be allowed to wrestle. 10 seems like a good number there.
I like your thought process on Ben. Hopefully can manage all of that. Lots of pressure on the teenager right now. Hopefully he takes it in stride and has some fun with it
As much as many would like to see Keuter in a wrestling singlet, even if it's for Iowa, I just don't see it happening. He is the football teams investment. The only way he wrestles is if he chooses that over football, or flops on the football team. The training demands (time and differing programs) are too much. Just my opinion of course and I'm certainly not rooting for him to fail.
You won't get one. Iowa came out and said the names were protected from being released. But this has been a not-well hidden secret for a while now.
Any truth to the rumor Spencer was in that group and he might have to give his 6th place trophy back?
He can’t give it back if he threw it in the trash 🤷♂️
Because Cael and Co. support individual goals and see maximizing individual goals (AA or individual Champion) as taking care of Team Championships.
Therefore, I do not believe Cael and Co. would see a wrestler reaching his NCAA goal as wasted eligibility. Also, winning is fun.
The Russians get to compete as OAR -- Olympic Athletes from Russia.
Just for giggles, let them compete as GIA, unaffiliated, no team points. And watch their board spend all year saying how that's the reason they won't win a team title.

Now Iowa's starting DT Noah Shannon is out for the year after starting 28 games.
I find it interesting no other colleges in Iowa don't have any violations for gambling. Drake? UNI? Not even COE? Someone definitely had targets in mind. I guess the NCAA is using our flyover state as an example. It what is I guess.

It was always going to come to this.
Self inflicted wounds being turned into fuel for the Iowa Persecution Complex.
Not that I have read that much about this but it sounds like this is driven by Iowa DAs and the NCAA is tagging along. The NCAA isn't filing criminal charges, prosecutors are.
The criminal charges are nothing. Literal slap on the wrists. No jail time.
BUT - the NCAA? yeah. Like i thought, they're making an example out of these athletes. The defense that they're being "targeted" isn't going to amount to much. Not when its their own DAs bringing the charges, and not when the NCAA doesn't have an actual investigation arm. (they investigate based on reportings, not because they seek out infractions themselves)
I think all the top guys go. You say waste eligibility but the issue is that we have another round of top recruits ready to come in. If a bunch of top guys sit this year because the team title is locked up it creates a bunch of roster headaches going forward or more likely we end up having kids go elsewhere so they don’t have to sit multiple years. I hope this team absolutely goes for it this year and sees how close to the all time points record they can get
This really sucks for Cass and Brands Cass seems like a good dude and I wish he was able to go his senior year
Iowa should hold a press conference with Larry Lee as their spokesperson and he can tell the NCAA to go pound eyeglasses.
Per Mineo: Sebrecht, Assad, Brands, and Cassiopi all out for the year, likely losing eligibility too. Schriever and Kennedy to miss part of the season.
But...but...this was the year Assad was going to win the title...
I didn't hear about anyone getting arrested so I'm sure the legal issues are minor. Except for Paniro, who I think is being looked st for tax evasion and hiding his identity. He might be in a bit more hot water.
This might be the NCAA seeing what sticks through the Iowa DAs, then going after athletes at other schools. But no way this situation is unique to Iowa and Iowa St.
You guys are the tip of the iceberg, congrats (sarcastic).
Iowa certainly has had a lifetime worth of shitty off-season things happen all in a few months.

I tried to find in the thread, but can anyone explain what NCAA athletes can and cannot do in regards to gambling?
And if I understand previous threads, the Iowa DA is charging these kids for misdemeanors, but I’m confused as to what for? Is the NCAA aligned with the law.
Any clarification is much appreciated.
