    So is anybody hearing anything on changes

    I have a very high level of admiration for the great John Smith, but it has grown stale for him lately. OSU isn't just a blue blood program in college wrestling, but THE blue blood program. New coaching and a fresh start will not cripple this program imo. Too much tradition and too many...

    Recruiting Targets

    Wittlake had some injury issues which lead to a couple losses imo. He is a great wrestler and I expect he will prove that in the coming years at OSU.

    Iowa vs. ISU

    I believe Carr will be 157 next year. Ryan Anderson will most likely shirt along with Reeves (who might turn out to be very good). I see next year as a small stepping stone, but the following year is when the big jump will come (hopefully).

    Iowa vs. ISU

    ISU was better prepared than Iowa. Miklus was Carvered or the upset would have been complete. ISU is still a long way from returning to an elite program but the direction of the program is very positive. Pokes will still tear us apart in a dual or tournament setting, but I expect to close...

    JB's Comments About John Smith - "He's the best that ever did it"

    I was too young ( 5 when he won gold) to have judged Gable or anyone pre dating his dominance, but in my viewing lifetime John Smith is the greatest wrestler these eyes have ever seen. Cat like quickness and balance,amazing flexibility, and skills that had not been seen. The low single...

    ROSTER-RECRUITING WORKSHEET

    Wow! Smith is stock piling some serious talent. Congrats to the new recruits getting to wrestle for the legend. Osu has always been a major player (THE major player really), but I thought things were curtailing in Stillwater. I no longer think this. Bright days ahead for you guys and like...

    Nick Suriano

    He did go from being the 6/th best wrestler on his team to the best wrestler on his new team- It isn't a stretch to think he likes the attention.

    Next years roster

    Ethan wasn't unhappy with his coaches or teamates at OSU, but wanted to come home to be with his family after the tragic death of his father. John Smith again proves to be a first class person in his handling of the situation.

    Nick Suriano

    Two guys at 125 recruited? I don't understand why Nolf didn't leave when Berge was recruited by that logic. NS was certainly not worried about losing his starting job to any recruit who was on board before he left. People leave jobs,marriages,etc. all of the time to pursue other...

    ISU Program

    I agree top ten isn't enough, but it would be a good floor. It would be nice to be in the title hunt often, but I think a top ten type floor during rebuilding years is where I would hope to start.

    ISU Program

    Bring Pat Smith back to world of college wrestling! I always though he would look smashing in cardinal and gold.

    ISU Program

    I like KJ, but it is time to drain the swamp. This thing can be rebuilt into a top 10 power within a 3-4 year window with the right hire. Who is that right hire?

    Some fun reading

    It is the Iowa way. They home cook people so bad with the officiating in home duals that the tin foil hat fan base expects this even on the road. Stoll should have been hit for stalling over and over and they called it on the guy attacking legs. Iowa has some tough kids, but the old school...

    OK State V. Pittsburgh on Sunday

    This is one heck of a group of wrestlers, and that was without Jo Jo. Tough riders and turners. Crutch looks stronger than ever and he has always been strong.

    Be proud Pokes, for shame Hawkeyes

    I'm not sure which "State"you mean, but I have taken my own home poll. I have a dad,son, and 2 brothers who are huge Iowa fans and they fit the the definition quite well! My daughter is even starting to lean that way. The shame.

    Anybody hearing anything on recruits

    Mike you kill me..... I'm thinking Fix to OSU seems so likely at this point. I think some of you guys under value Ethan Anderson. He was a very big prospect who struggled his senior year due to never having cut weight. He was too big for 220 that year and should have moved to hwt. He...

    Be proud Pokes, for shame Hawkeyes

    I had never heard that definition for hawkeye, but it really seems to fit the typical hawkeye fan quite nicely.
