Well we will find out what this staff has when it comes to recruiting, there is no quick fix to the 197 lb situation unless another situation like Byers comes along.

I don't know why they were not pursuing Gilman hard from the very beginning. I have been around him a lot and he is a great kid who is very humble, but is an animal when he steps on the mat. He has good grades, never been in trouble and comes from a great family. at FILA's there were many D1...

I hope I didn't make it sound gloom and doom because that was not my intent. I still think we get Clark even though he is open to other schools. I think the class will shape up nicely, but they need to address 197 in a big way and there is only one way to do that in the HS ranks. As far as...

This staff needs to really capitalize on the instate and national talent this year because it falls off dramatically next year. There is obviously the glaring need at 197 and also the need for a 125/133 type and also a HWT to add some depth. The coaches will also like to get a 149 and 174/184...

Peterson is the top recruit on the board. As ar as instate guys I know Carton, Koethe and Clark all received calls from the staff.

Well Iowa has not really been active with recruits yet, but after July 1st they should start hitting it pretty heavy. When you look at the needs of the team you obviously have to look at 197 first. Devin Peterson from WI is the top guy out there, but he is viewed as a Wisky lock as he...

Yes coaches can't have direct contact off campus, but recruits can still visit and have on campus communication with coaches.

Devin is not solid to Wisconsin, he has had communication with several schools since then.

Jack Hathaway is also on this team, he had quite the journey over with his plane being delayed a couple of times.

Bauer has a bunch of upside and is improving daily. He had a disappointing Northern Plains, but had just come back from a surgery. I would take Gilman over any lightweight in the country and I know several D1 coaches that feel the same. Good luck to Dakota and the 2 other ICW boys going to Ames.

This is the best decision the IHSAA has made in a long time pertaining to wrestling. Every coach and wrestler I have talked to about this absolutely loves this. This has been rumored to be happening for quite a while.

Here is one of example of one of our wrestlers receiving money from the donation based UI Foundation. Your Gifts Help: Dan LeClere - The University of Iowa Foundation

Yes they can. As a former NCAA Division I scholarship wrestler I know for a fact that wrestlers are able to gain scholarship money from outside the athletic dept. Coaches have 9.9 full ride scholarships to give out in a fully funded wrestling program. Those scholarships are often divided...

When it comes to sports like wrestling, coaches have to be creative with scholarships and a place like OSU has an advantage over most. They have a tremendous Alumni base that donates a tremendous amount of money to help kids fund their education. Many athletes are entitled to much of the...

Camp reminds me a lot of Patrick Bond coming out of HS. Camp has not shown the ability to be physical enough against the top competition in HS, which is why I think he will struggle in college at 197. On the other hand, he also has never been totally focused on wrestling either so his upside...
