I don't think his scholarship got pulled, I thought he got "suspended" and was on scholarship the 1st semester at ISU and decided to transfer and ISU released him but wouldn't have if he wanted to go to Iowa.

Uhh, what? You realize he is better than any 133 on your squad right now, correct. He missed about half the season, and still won the B10 tournament. Had he wrestled all year, it would not even be close. He would be Iowa's 133, but the point is moot. Cael was actively trying to get him to come to PSU and fill a gap.
Continue being one of the most idiotic posters on here. Clark had no trouble going to Iowa from ISU. Why do you even post in wrestling topics?

You're right, other then ISU making Clark redshirt at Iowa because Pollard refused to grant him a full release he didn't have any problems. And I'm sure Pollard would have given Long his blessings to go to Iowa and granted him a full release and made him eligible right away.
You might want to check on facts and know what your talking about before calling someone else an idiot and making yourself look like a bigger idiot.
Edit: NM someone else already found the article I was trying to link, so how does that 2nd foot in your mouth taste Brett?

And you call me the idiot and tell me not to post on wrestling topics? Go look at the results of when Ramos wrestled Long and let me know how that turned out. So he missed half a year, he wasn't laying around doing nothing. Long and Ramos are neck and neck and I wouldn't say Long is even better so no it wouldn't be correct that Long is better than anyone at Iowa right now.
Calm down there, hoss. Per Andy Hamilton, Clark didn't get a full release when he transferred to Iowa from ISU. From an article dated 7/3/2009 in the ICPC:
Clark feels so strongly Iowa is the place for him that he’s sacrificing a scholarship check and an opportunity to compete next year to join the Hawkeyes.
Clark said Iowa State granted him a conditional release after coach Cael Sanderson left the Cyclones for Penn State and Kevin Jackson took over in Ames. Clark was restricted from transferring to Iowa penalty-free. Thus, he can’t have contact with Tom Brands or the Iowa coaches until his first day of classes in the fall, he’ll have to pay his way through school next year without scholarship assistance and he won’t be eligible to compete for the Hawkeyes next season.
Clark’s situation is similar to what four current Hawkeyes went through in 2006. Seniors Brent Metcalf, Jay Borschel, Dan LeClere and Joe Slaton, along with graduated senior T.H. Leet, left Virginia Tech after their first year at the school to attend Iowa, follow Brands, who had been named the head coach of the Hawkeyes that April.
Clark, however, hasn’t been redshirted and won’t lose a year of eligibility next season and has two years left to compete.
Well looks like the former Emmetsburg E-Hawks, Aaron Janssen (#11) and Justin Kerber of Cornell (#9), probably won't be meeting at 165 as they are on opposite sides of the bracket. It would have been a pretty good story to see them square off, like they did everyday at practice in high school while winning 4 state championships.
I've read alot of hawkeyescott posts. They seem pretty reasonable to me. Don't agree with somethings but that's what these forums are for. What makes anyone think that long could be our starting 133# when he got beat by our 133# and not only that but he lost 3 or 4 times to our 125#? Lets not call people on this forum idiots. Just doesn't say much about the name caller. I found that if I disagreed with, say, a friend of mine, I would push him out in front of a oncoming car or truck. Maybe tie him to a railroad track and wait fof a train to come.
