Nazareth Area High School's Aaron Bradley looks forward to becoming an Iowa Hawkeye | lehighvalleylive.com

My guess is he'll do much better after training in the Iowa room and wrestling down at 149. He looks pretty tough taking down Dylan Ness here FILAJR WTT: 66 KG Edwin Cooper (Unattached) vs. Dylan Ness (Minnesota Storm) - YouTube I for one will be ecstatic if it is confirmed he has committed...

Please PM me if anyone has a ticket for Friday morning's session III you'd like to sell. Thanks.

Seems like this is just postponing the inevitable by another year.

I'm interested in the ticket for session II if it is still available. Thanks.

Thanks for your input. It’s great to get the perspective on recruiting from someone in your area. I’m glad to hear Iowa still has the reputation and luster is has had for so long. I completely agree though we don’t get back to the top soon and Penn State keeps this streak they have...

I don’t see the relatively down state of the program a direct reflection of Brands’ coaching. Even with our hole at 149 scoring 0 points at Big Tens, we were right in the running for 2nd with Minnesota who had guys at all their weights scoring. If we didn’t have such horrific fortune at 149...

I wish I could see it because based solely on talent, it makes a lot of sense to have Gilman, Clark, Ramos and Dziewa in the lineup. That said, two of the four would not be at their optimum weight class which could hurt. I think Dziewa could possibly fill out to 149 but I just can't see Ramos...

My question is with 149 still the most glaring hole in the lineup and not looking to be fixed anytime in the immediate future, why not put the full court press on Destin McCauley who still seems very open to the idea of wrestling in college? I understand the guy has changed his wrestling plans...

Yes. Last year there were many need weights and the coaches rolled out one of the best recruiting classes of all time. Next year there aren’t as many need weights (HWT, 157/165, 149?) so they can be more aggressive to landing the few key recruits needed and I have all the faith that they will...

Thanks for all the updates Pin. Its greatly appreciated!

This is sad news but if he wasn’t going to return to Iowa, this seems like a much better outcome than if he landed at tOSU or Penn State. Obviously the staff invested a lot of time and scholarship to sign Nate. Looking back in hindsight, who would you have put those resources to sign in that...

I completely agree. If the Hawks didn't sign Berge this year, I'm sure there'd be a much better chance we'd be seeing Lira this year to preserve Burak's RS and give him a year to develop. After signing Berge, I'm sure the coaches were much more open to pulling Burak's RS this year knowing that...

Mike grew and couldn’t make 165 any longer so he moved up to 174 this year. He’s been battling Gambrall for the starting spot at 174 and has been much more aggressive in his performances and likely will be named the starter now that Grant has continued to be too passive and let matches slip...

Gambrall definitely laid an egg and likely gave the spot away. The coaches have given him more than enough opportunities to flip the switch and he just hasn’t stepped up. It’s really disappointing because I had extremely high hopes for Grant at 174 and hate to see a senior go out that way...

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out and whether Gambrall ends up on the bench his senior year. Hindsight is always 20/20 but I wonder if an off-season working out with Doyle bulking up into an actual 197 would have been a better move than moving down a weight class. His...

I'm guessing he'll end up at Penn State not only because he is from PA but because he is close with many of the current Penn State wrestlers and seems to have very good relationships with many in the program. He also regularly wears Penn State attire which doesn't make me too hopeful. He's also...

I hate to say it but Chance seems to be Penn State's to lose. Not to say we shouldn't make a run at him but I'm not getting my hopes up. Stoll on the other hand seems like a great fit and much more probable. I hope the coaches are also after Josh Llopez out of Maryland or Bo Nickal out of...

Those should be some exciting matches. I'm also excited to see Kelly vs. Rhoads/Grothus. Rhoads and Grothus are pretty solid and have some decent past results including Rhodes' win over Chance Marsteller so if Kelly can truly throttle them, that excites me about his improvement from last year...

Huge loss. I just hope he doesn't end up at tOSU or Penn State.
