Trust me, I’ve laid plenty at the feet of brands. But acting like partying hasn’t been an issue for john/okiest is being obtuse at best.

Will it has clearly changed since Perry and Caldwell has taken over the recruiting 2 -3years ago more high end recruits not just top 10 guys in there weightWhether it’s been bad luck, partying or on the mat development, we just haven’t gotten enough of the highly recruited kids to become champions here.
That has to change. I’m hopeful the changes in the program over the past year or two will do just that.
You or your son get beat of the team or somethingWe don't just party like every other school. It is, and has been, a problem. Hell, even Perry got sucked in back in the day with Dallas Bailey and that crew. And John won't even do anything when he catches dope smoking in his own house....just acts pissed with no repercussions. One recent wrestler died due to drugs this past year. He had been a bad influence on some of our good guys we were counting on (G). So it isn't "just like all schools".
How did I get pulled into this? It’s a moot point. It really doesn’t even matter to me🤷🏼The point is everyone has some black eyes over partying, including Iowa. Also, Kemerer was class of 2015 & Lee was 2017. The Sam Stoll shooting happened in mid 2018. Maybe Tom doesn't know what lock down means.
And since you brought up PD3...Brands told Kemerer that Iowa was about having the right culture and doing the right things. Then he goes out and recruits Downey. And then the 2 oldest Ferrari's. Didn't you post that Anthony was done with college wrestling after he went with the blind plea? Maybe Tom doesn't know what right culture is either.
And just so we're clear, I'm not rooting for Iowa 😀
Chance yes. Favorite no. He’s one of the most athletically gifted wrestlers I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Brooks and Hilday are both seniors and very tough. AJ will be better than the rest of 197 by March imo if he wants to be.Does anybody think AJ being off for so long and having gone through so much controversy, has a chance at a national championship?

He didn’t blow everyone out when he won and Buchanan is back, and AJ had big trouble with him. Also, one of the first things to go on high end athletes is their timing.Chance yes. Favorite no.

Tom = Tom Brands 🤣How did I get pulled into this? It’s a moot point. It really doesn’t even matter to me🤷🏼
Don’t put that word n me , Ricky BobbyTom = Tom Brands 🤣
When I wrote Tom in that earlier post I was referring to Tom Brands, not you. You egomaniac 😉Don’t put that word n me , Ricky Bobby
I meant to say don’t put that on me Ricky Bobby, and I wasn’t put out at all. I’ve been called many things, but never an Iowa fan😉When I wrote Tom in that earlier post I was referring to Tom Brands, not you. You egomaniac 😉
1000%, let’s talk recruitingDAMMIT, I’m clicking this thread for recruiting news, not party news. I don’t give a shit if a kid eats people and injects horse hop if he can whip peoples ass. I’ve probably done worse than most of these kids.
How many do we (OSU) have?1000%, let’s talk recruiting
The only two that I know of are Lockett (#2) and Veazy(#20 if and when)I bet atownpoke knows this. That man can research like no other
We will see improvement because of the recruitment when you get top kids development always looks betterWe are all hoping it has changed. The investment in the RTC and bringing Coleman on board are big changes and needed.
We need to do much better than we have the last decade in development. Thinking we will see some real positive momentum due to the above.
He will not beat BrooksChance yes. Favorite no. He’s one of the most athletically gifted wrestlers I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Brooks and Hilday are both seniors and very tough. AJ will be better than the rest of 197 by March imo if he wants to be.
Yes 6 guys but no one that will startBlair you know who might be headed to the scuffle I’m ready for the 2nd half of the season to get going!
I don’t see him beating even Buchanan. He’s been out and not competing for a year.He will not beat Brooks
Yep, gotta love it. Have an 8U kid. You have a kiddo wrestling?Any of you others guys living the USJOC life this weekend
6U boy. Took 6th in a 26 man bracket yesterday. It’s his first year and only his 4th tournament so we were very proud. My daughter is wrestling 8U girls this morning.Yep, gotta love it. Have an 8U kid. You have a kiddo wrestling?

We should start an OKWA thread…6U boy. Took 6th in a 26 man bracket yesterday. It’s his first year and only his 4th tournament so we were very proud. My daughter is wrestling 8U girls this morning.
Hasn’t competed in 2 years. Still has the talent and looks to have been lifting constantly over that span. His strength is unmatched. I just don’t think he’s going to be able to keep himself composed long enough to prove himself. He’s a ticking time bomb mentally, emotionally and his actions speak volumes to thisI don’t see him beating even Buchanan. He’s been out and not competing for a year.
No need to apologize! I’ve had the thought many times.Sorry man
That is actually painful to see, complete misses on our evaluations of top level recruitsCoaching and development is critical.
Development or lack of it has been our major issue at OSU about the last decade. We have recruited high end blue chip talent pretty consistently. We just haven’t been able to develop them into NC’s. Some of that has been bad luck or guys doing damage to their own careers but at the end of the day the results fall on our staff and program.
We have to get better at identifying and developing wrestlers and a culture to turn high level recruits into NC’s. There have been a lot of positive changes to OSU wrelsting over the last 24 months or so that are aimed at and that I think will help in all of this.
Look at the class rankings and top 50 recruits signed over the past 10 years and see how many ended up as NC’s.
