Just listened to Justin Basch’s interview with Josh Barr. The disconnect between what actually draws great recruits to this program (pretty much, everything - culture, partners, support, etc, etc) vs what a lot of Iowa fans think draws the recruits (money -only money) will result in Iowa continuing to be 1 step behind Penn State (and Ok State most likely). Josh Barr (and others) have made it abundantly clear that money is not their main driver - in fact, it’s way down the list.
Now I’m not naive - money doesn’t “talk”, it screams, but I’ve turned down numerous better “deals” based on more money due to other things being a higher priority - mainly family suppprt, location, stability, etc. what good is chasing more money in a new town if you end up working for a sociopath or a company on shaky footing? Yes, these recruits are just kids but if you have a supportive family with life experience, the choices they make will go far beyond the quick buck.

Also, it's not like Cael is asking these kids to pay their way to wrestle for PSU. I know Iowa fans like to make sarcastic comments about our wrestlers getting a 10% scholarship (while trying to imply they're all millionaires) Cael has always been for his wrestlers getting rewarded for their efforts. It's pretty well known even before NIL that he wanted to get every kid on his roster some kind of scholarship money at least.
We hired Clay Steadman for a reason, the majority of our wrestlers signed deals with HVU (even nonstarters) in addition to other brands. Some will do more than others, that's up to them. But money cannot be the #1 motivator nor should it be for coming to PSU.
Exactly. For example, you see so many short sighted professional athletes take a better $$$ deal (though both deals will set them up for life), but the bigger money deal is on a team going nowhere, with a better chance of you getting injured or underperforming (e.g. bad Oline for a QB or RB), and torpedoing your chances of future immortality.
In contradistinction, Saquon is on a below market deal, but his Q Rating is skyrocketing because he’s got everything he needs to truly leverage his talents. But yeah, he could be making 3 mil more playing for a dogshit team like the Bears.
The Iowa clowns are fools. Back when Compliance Vodka was babbling his shit i was on HR telling them they are ridiculous. PSU kids were simply doing what Gable and JRob did for Iowa wrestlers and wrestling back in the 70s and 80s, namely camps. I thanked them for supporting the cause, Nolf, Zain and Joesph had just spent 2 weeks in Iowa doing about half a dozen camps each. They just screamed at me about "no, no, no!!!!!"
There is alot of Gable's forward thinking in Cael. Cael just looks at stuff that has worked and then takes it to another level.
Andonian got pinned in his next 2 matches, so Levi did crush bis soul.That was cool, but no Haines vs Andonian?
Jason Nolf - Sundae Conversation, Very Funny Video
Are those dudes a thing? It's hard to keep up with social media. They could either just be Jason's buds or they might just have a thing going there. Definitely dry humor, but I enjoyed it! Some of those questions had Jason in a Russian tie. I was waiting for 'why did you quit' but it never came ?
It's making fun of an existing show by Caleb Pressley. The guy pretending to be Caleb is John Broughton. https://uwwsports.com/sports/wrestling/roster/john-broughton/14536
He does photography/video for PSU and the a lot of the crew like Bo, Jason, etc.
About — John Broughton

The main questioner is John Broughton: Nolf’s business partner in Ocean, I think also Scraplife. He’s also been creating the really nice, slick video content for NLWC lately.
