Iowa will continue to be Iowa.....I wonder if this has the possibility of hurting ISU's recruiting of Iowa kids
congrats to schwab
if anything it hurts d-3 program wartburg i think
Congrats to Doug, this is great for wrestling in the state of Iowa. Does anyone think we will see any reserve wrestlers from Iowa join him at UNI?
It has the possibility of hurting both programs. Yeah Iowa will still get theirs but Doug will not back off a recruit because Tom has already been in the kitchen. Least that's my thoughts.
I disagree a bit with this. I'm sure there will be some shared interest in recruits but he will end up spending a lot of time and money from the recruiting fund for nothing if he tries to duke it out with the Hawks for kids they really want. He could win some but will have to over spend and I feel it would be a less than fruitfull strategy. I do feel he can dip into the ISU goodies with better success though.
Pin might be right. If you were a high schooler picking between a little money to go to UNI or a couple athletic grants to wrestle at Wartburg, I think a lot people in wrestling would have steered kids to Wartburg as opposed to the CF train wreck. That has changed for now though.
if i was at iowa and couldn't wrestle i would go to wartburg instead of uni to be apart of a winning team if i was wanting to stay in state
