Iowa had some recent improvement in recruiting culminating with Spencer Lee but they seem to be falling back again. Looking ahead a few years, they are clearly behind PSU and tOSU and probably OSU as well, although not as pronounced. They really need to win a championship over the next 2 years or the fallout may be significant. To these high schools kids, the Dan Gable era is ancient history and many probably don't even remember their last championship.

not sure I understand, since C3 went after him hard and heavy. Would it perhaps have looked better if he was in Blue and White last night?Couldnt agree more, I dont think the “ hey, look at me” mentality fits the C3 mold.
That was helpful. Page 2 of what?
Page 2 of this thread near the top has a post about Matt.

Appearantly Matt's decision had a bit less fanfare than AJ's
See page 2
i assumed that was speculation. the use of "appears" does not seem definite in any way.
Describe hard and heavy, and how you know this. We know nothing more or less about how C3 went after him than they did fill in the blank. So, it's interesting that you know how C3 went after him.not sure I understand, since C3 went after him hard and heavy. Would it perhaps have looked better if he was in Blue and White last night?

It's one data point in a far-more-complicated area of a person's personality/nature. I'm just not for judging others based solely on a social media "persona". If I did, I wouldn't hang around here as much as I do with all the characters and their "forum personas", some of which are really out there .With all due respect Roar, in todays society social media personas are an unignorable indication of the person.

Ha!! I expected someone else to be the first to respond.I resemble that remark!!

Don't remember ever seeing a recruit being given the royal treatment during an official visit unless a coaching staff is going after him hard. That budget is limited for recruiting, at least here. Although I must admit, I would let his mom take a selfie with me.Describe hard and heavy, and how you know this.

Holy overreaction, Batman.FLB school district closed today because of FB ( or instagram post, IDFK) stating they would shoot up the school at 8:30 and were looking for helpers.

I wouldn't expect C3 to recruit some of us, based on our online personas, either. Well, that and our wrestling ability.It's one data point in a far-more-complicated area of a person's personality/nature. I'm just not for judging others based solely on a social media "persona".

Yeah, just finished for the day. Otherwise, I'd have jumped right on that. What I can't figure out is he knows my online and offline personalities and he still lets me hang around with him.pawrestlerintn would have been the first but he was busy with a customer.
Fell behind. Past tense. This would make a good business school case for disruption theory.Question for those following recruiting. For the post- Spencer years, is Iowa falling behind OSU, TOSU, and PSU in the recruiting arms race?
That's definitely probably true.It appears that it could possibly be almost definite.
Not many in here would make it out of the first period with anybody in the family. A stalling strategy would be your best bet though.Don't remember ever seeing a recruit being given the royal treatment during an official visit unless a coaching staff is going after him hard.

We (Mrs. Roar and I) really like Mrs. pa. Just sayin' .Yeah, just finished for the day. Otherwise, I'd have jumped right on that. What I can't figure out is he knows my online and offline personalities and he still lets me hang around with him.
But are you on the fence about Mr. pa? JkWe (Mrs. Roar and I) really like Mrs. pa. Just sayin' .
Even the stalling wouldn't work, I can't back pedal for 3 minutes.Not many in here would make it out of the first period with anybody in the family. A stalling strategy would be your best bet though.
At the game today. Cody, Cael, Casey were in the row behind us with a recruit and his Mom. Not sure who it was but the kid was well put together. About Cael’s height
The 3 C’s hosting it must be a bigtimer. My guess it’s Alex Facunda.... Michigan stud 174lbs. junior. Many rate best in 2021 class.At the game today. Cody, Cael, Casey were in the row behind us with a recruit and his Mom. Not sure who it was but the kid was well put together. About Cael’s height

I don't think they are really falling behind. There is a lot of young talent on and committed to Iowa. If you just look at PSU recruits for this year and next and probably for a year or two after that......PSU certainly isn't going to win any recruiting rankings soon because of all the grey shirts and redshirts they have had recently. The stockpile of young talent that hasn't hit the mat yet is why there is little room at the Inn. Iowa is in a bit of a similar situation although they have more young talent currently on the mat.
Pure guess: Seminary's 220 Jacob Kaminski (2021). I think he's still uncommitted. UWW world medalist.At the game today. Cody, Cael, Casey were in the row behind us with a recruit and his Mom. Not sure who it was but the kid was well put together. About Cael’s height
