Iowa set for major early season test at National Duals Invitational

Do any of the recent recruiting hall have what it takes or is it way too early to judge them? I know another Spencer Lee isn't probably walking into the program, but is there any hope in the kids TNT have signed?

My opinion which isn’t worth much is that you can’t tell much till they get here. Top ten D1 wrestling is so far ahead of anything theyl find at U18 level.

That and with NIL I don’t believe anyone is going to be here till their first match and it’s year-to-year after that. If they get here and blow the doors off the Big Ten money from other places will come calling.

That National Duals tourney was a beast -- four #1 ranked guys got beat.
And it could have been worse -- Nebraska won exactly 1 match vs Ohio St.

This is why I’m not throwing in the towel on the season already. Wrestling nowadays seems like there’s just better wrestlers all over the country. More interest in the sport so it’s talent will be more spread out over schools.
