Verkleeren to Iowa State

Its good for wrestling and message board banter for ISU to be relevant. KJ can recruit no doubt.

but..........from afar it seems to they do less with more
 
Anthony Montanana from Cali committed today as well. If you recall, he had a real good Flonats.

Say hello to my little friend.

Must admit, I was a little surprised to see Verk there. Didn't expect him at PSU (even though I'm hearing older bro Derek is now in State College), but thought there were other fits closer than Ames.

At least he's not going to Armpitt.

This is making me very happy. We will see what KJ can do with it. Don't get too caught up in hawk revisionist history with the whole isu guys can't win thing. Keep in mind both Gable and Cael were Clones not hawks. I've been thinking about this whole developing talent thing and is pretty surprising. Individual National Champs under different coaches since KJ took over for Cael and the wheels fell off of the ISU program.
KJ- 4 (Varner, ZBriski,Reader,Kyven) Brands-5 (McBono,Ramos,Metcalf,JBo,St. John) Cael-7 (Nico,Frank,DT,ER,Zain,Brown,Q) Smith-5 (Scott,JO,Perry,Ringer,Heil,) Tan Tom - 4 (Nato,Streebler,Snyder,Martin). Koll-5 (Nashon, Dake,Dean,Bosak,Simaz )Somebody can check my accuracy as I'm still a little punch drunk watching this early morning freestyle. Just going off of an old man's memory. Cael stands alone it would seem and Smith, Brands, and Koll are all pretty equal in terms of winning that national title every wrestler dreams of. If your looking for team titles ISU doesn't seem like much of a destination, but neither does Iowa. Individual is pretty even if you pick anywhere but PSU. Point being an individual can be great anywhere.

If he gets good enough, he'll be dubbed Scarface..."All I got in this world is my blast double and my balls..."
