Yeah, I came up with something very similar a few years ago using 10% increments. What there is now makes no sense.

Yep. Cutting has become pretty rare, and it was way overdue IMO. Same-day weigh-ins was instituted primarily to dissuade the practice. Back in my day, it was occasionally life-threatening. I knew guys that would starve themselves, take laxatives and wear these plastic/vinyl suits to bed to...

I was actually envisioning Ross at 97. There is still time to flip him, but it's not going to be easy. Taylor definitely is going to shake things up for the foreseeable future. Getting our top in-state guys is not a good sign, especially when you consider that both Taylor and Cael have an...

I've seen a few Hawkeye fan forums come and go over the years. I honestly don't have a clue regarding site operational costs or what it takes to keep forums up and running, but, for me, I get my fill of articles from several different sites. My enthusiasm around HN has primarily been to...

Sorry to see you move on, Rob. Your perspective and experience with Iowa sports has always given you a somewhat rare if not unique vantage point, and your takes on situations have always been appreciated. Change is never easy, especially for us old guys, but I'm sure you will discover new...

I've posted it before, but in my mind the only record that truly counts is the combination of points, rebounds, assists and steals. In Caitlin's case, that totals a whopping 6,295. Oh, and she also had 17 triple-doubles. JuJu, even if she plays all four years, won't even come close. My guess...

I'm not implying that NIL isn't a huge factor. It definitely is, as are the demographics, etc. In Sanderson's case, however, he was having significant success well before NIL. Sunderland had a lot of the same advantages at PSU and had a 115 - 90 dual record (and that includes OOC D1 programs)...

There was a lot of buzz that the Smith trade had nothing to do with basketball. Apparently, there was a growing rift between her and the organization, in part related to stuff posted by her girlfriend.

Son-of-a!!! I've had him pictured in my hand in an Iowa singlet for a couple of years. https://intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/recruiting/3-overall-junior-dreshaun-ross-commits-to-oklahoma-state-r99979/

I get it, but I think you are selling Cael a little short here (and, yes, my nausea kicks in as well...). No doubt, Tom and Terry work best with personalities that mesh with their coaching style, as is the case pretty much universally. They only have one peg, and will force-fit it with every...

Where did you get those numbers? I'd be shocked if the wrestling program poneyed up that much, but I guess anything is possible in these days.

For those old enough to remember, she reminds me a bit of Bernard King of the Knicks. Talented scorer that knew how to use his body and get to the line when he wasn't spot-shooting. That was pretty much the extent of his game, but he was VERY GOOD at that one extent...

Nothing of surprise there. I thought Parco might take Van Ness this time around, otherwise pretty much as expected. Cael has a huge advantage over Tom and Terry in a number of ways: 1. Money. Lots of it. 2. An eye for recruiting talent, not just "toughness," and he knows how to maximize it. 3...

In freestyle, yes, that probably would be his best approach. Kueter is a very good example why the NCAA needs a weight class between 97 and 285. I've always advocated for a 230 class. As far as bulking up and learning how to use his long frame, I was exclusively referring to success at folk...

At his current weight, and with his length, Kueter's best approach might be to learn how to take advantage of those long arms and legs in the top position. He should watch film of guys that were tall for their weight class, such as Evan Wick and Ethan Lizak. A.J. Schopp also comes to mind. Ben...

No doubt. He's an athletic freak. With his income potential and FS dominance, I was surprised to see him come back. Not sure what the motivation is there, but he will steamroll the field.

My guess is that he will dip his toes in football one more time, then focus on wrestling. I agree, he's more built for FS, but I still think he'll make some noise in folk, especially if he packs some more muscle on that frame. I was a bit surprised with Paris. I thought he would present himself...

With Kueter, I think it sells him short to characterize his success as the result of being a big fish in a small pond. Going undefeated in HS at any level is relatively rare. Only six others have ever accomplished that feat in Iowa. The National Freestyle Championships and World Championships...

In the discussions focusing on the current state of fan apathy surrounding the program, I've pointed out this game as being a major impactor. The lack of enthusiasm has multiple layers, but that Richmond loss greased the wheels towards the cliff for me, and I think many other fans. It was at...

I was essentially agreeing with you. I think Lester (like a lot of the more modern offensive coordinators) is looking for that hybrid type that thrives in the McVay/Shanahan/LeFleur offensive scheme: One that can process quickly pre-snap and snap, go efficiently through progressions, display a...
