Crookham enters as a Grad transfer with 2 years of eligibility left. Would be a big get if he can stay healthy.
Portal April 1st
- Thread starter sdvike
- Start date
Great - now Iowa can get roasted for taking in an oft injured, late in his career athlete and then get reamed again when he tears his ACL next March.
Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby
Crookham is a title contender at 133 if he can hold that weight and some of the super freshman move up to 141. I would love for the Hawks to get him. 2 years is better than 1 and would fit in great with a timeline for the new recruits that are coming in.
Is he staying 133 for next year? Iowa could use him big time if so.
Yeah but have they had a line of personal team gear made and went out and did a signing selling event with it..............wait, oh, never mind.
Any rumblings with Iowa in the mix? Will slot in perfectly at 133 and gives Paul Kenny a year to redshirt.
Isn’t there a big Iowa supporter that also backs Lehigh? If so, that one might get a little weird.
Definitely can. @cwobrien11 is one of the main reasons I decided to stay on Rivals way way back when because of his posts. He's excellent at collecting and compiling data to form direct opinions, analysis, and forecasting thats been pretty damn accurate and fun to look at over the years.
Why would Iowa be interested in AJ? They have a 2x AA, who wrestles the backside of the tournament, at 285. They have Luddington ready to step in at 197. AJ makes no sense.
No chance he's a title contender any longer. He has missed too much mat time. Jaz/Blaze/Davino/Seidel would run through him like a hot knife through butter.
It only makes sense if AJ can go down to 197 (rumors are that he was only around 220 at NCAA's) AND the staff thinks Ludington needs another year to physically mature and work on his technical development. AJ only has one more year of eligibility left...I don't care what people say about potentially having two left so it's unlikely to be a roster disruptor over the long term.
Like Mirisolas at PSU. Wonder how long that lasts. If could have landed Ross, they would be in the portal now
This is a big shocker considering they are committed there.
You just named sets of brothers that are no less than THREE DECADES removed from college wrestling.
Absolutely amazing.
That’s no longer relevant. I’d have thought omeone so plugged in would have known that.
You're trying way too hard - just let it come out naturally.This is a big shocker considering they are committed there.

I just checked his Wrestlestat. He wrestled his last match 24 Jan so unlikely they would approve this past year as a Med RS.
Not unless he misses 26-27. He had a redshirt his first year, medaled his second, and then was injured his third and fourth year. He will get a medical for year 3 and 4 but you don't get credit for a standard redshirt and a medical so it negates his standard redshirt. He should have two years left.
Nowhere else that's looking for a 133 is going to give him better guys to train with than Spencer and ADS.
Man such a different outlook on next season if we had the Raneys and bassett coming in at 33, 41, and 49. What could have been.
My man(uh er- can I use man here????) Anyway, I OWN F*** st!!!! When I was on their POS 2nd string board, It was ME against the whole board and I made em look stupid ALL the time!!!
Regardless, IF the POS krailure was winning on a LEVEL field and helping to BUILD wrestling!!!! I would have ZERO problems and I hope you understand this and just play dumb honestly!!!!
Right now, F*** st wrestling spends TWOOO times, which is really THREEEE times as much available to throw around then IOWA!!!!
NOW we have DT at OakTree with a Billionaire backing him!!! FUNNY(not really) how he had the 2nd most $$$$ to throw around currently!!!
You know what is also FUNNY(NOT really) how right here on this thread!!! We are talking about some brothers, who whent to some skool, who were "stolen" from IOWA, who may not have a GR8 path forward, and "should" enter the portal and come back to the GOOD GUYS!!!!!!
Was going to answer but, bellow beat me TWOOOO it!!!!
^^^^^^You WrestleEveryDayAllDay&TWOOOOTimesonSunday guy, read this ^^^^^
YEA^^^^^ CASH/NIL/POS ncaa SCREWED IOWA in 1 way or another!!!!
My guess is Michigan or the good guys in Iowa City.
So anyone can enter the portal right now? Have you always been a try hard?This is a big shocker considering they are committed there.

I presume the paperwork can't be filed until April 1st, but doesn't really mean you can't announce your intention ahead of time. Endene announced his weeks ago. A lot of college bball players have already announced and they don't open until the 6th for women and 7th for men.
Grad students can't wrestle at the Ivies, it's why they grey shirt.
And 1 guy you named will be at 133 next year
I will take the over. We shall see though.
Just what we need - more damaged goods on our roster.. Good kid I'm sure but last two years couldn't finish through the tape. There are better options out there.
Crookham, if healthy, is a no-brainer. Nobody can predict the future, but you've got to kick the tires at least. One thing that could be key is having another quality guy who can split the schedule, and that doesn't mean giving Crookham all the tough matches - mix and match.
