Deluca is going to make a a big splash so will Ludington and we have Cruz back at 25 also. I expect Block to make another large jump in levels, he was sick this season and slowed him down. Peterson, Rhodes or Bowling should be able to make some noise at 133 and Bailey is back at 141. Ferrari and Gabe are title contenders and so is Kueter if he wrestles. Williams has another year but if he walks Estrada is gonna be rock solid at 49/57.

I also expect at least 3 major pickups through the portal and a few may shock the masses. So put that in your pipe and smoke it you rat bassterds.
I think 6-7 AA's with two champs will be good for next seasons building year.
You list Cruz back as a positive. Yeah right...think again. 33? The guys you listed have no shot. Bowling?? WTF? Bailey at 41, he hasn't done anything this year. You're hoping Block makes another jump, how has development gone for our staff the last few years. Hope isnt a plan. I don't think so. Gabe and BK title contenders? I don't think so. You been hitting the Keystone Light pretty early today Grip. Next year's team is weaker than this year's team, and we're probably 5th this year.

I guess IF you are looking at BEST CASE with your Dan Gable signature Polarized Black framed with GOLD lens glasses!!!!
YOU might see it as

125 DeLuca coming in and we are ALL hoping he is the HAMMER we need!!! trending ^

133 we lose a TOP kid in Ayala and currently have a B1G hole!!! I hope this is where Brands can "make some strides" in his "new found" portal strategy trending down

141 I feel people are NOT giving BAILEY his due because he has been dealing with hand injuries which takes away his BEST offense which is TOP/TILTS!!! Season aint finished and kid has another year were he CAN BE in the hunt for a title!!! Trending ^

149 We have seen what BLOCK can do!!! He took the #1 guy to the brink!!!! AGAIN season is not done and he is BACK!!! trending ^

157 is somewhat of a mystery???? WTF happened with Williams???? Another guy who showed some flashes and then.....????? Only good news is no were to go but UP!!!!

165 We lose another HAMMER and are in the some place as 133 trend down

174 We lose KENNEDY who is again one of our BEST but we have ARNOLD trending???? TWOOO be seen!!!

184 FERRARI has the COM and is a HAMMER who should be even better next year! Trending ^

197 We lost a real good kid who in my honest opinion SCREWED US!!! NEED our portal recruiting adjustments to make this kind of sheet a thing of the past!!! We do have a TOP recruit in LUNDINGTON trending ^

Heavy is going to depend on KRUETER. Is he going to be the guy? If so we trend ^, IF he plays Football, we are in B1G trouble!!!

SO in conclusion, IOWA needs MANY things to go well/right AND a few portal magic additions!!! HOPING we are just in need of 133 / 165 and NOT heavy!?!??NOT on top of any POSSIBLES to fill these spots? ONLY wrestler that comes to mind would be AJ for heavy and that does NOT even seem likely!!!!

Ironturd seems to be predicting lots of "hope". He's probably right in needing lots of hope to happen.
