I'm sure you're a good dude, but are you related to Bailey, or did you just not watch him wrestle? Recruit over him now and be done with it. Penn State assuredly would, so why not Iowa. Hell, I'd trade Bailey for Davis, and I don't want Davis anywhere near Iowa City either.

No not at all I just think he got alot of flack this year and turned a corner at the end of the year came up short but I think somethings there maybe im wrong but the dude did have surgery in January not making excuses for him just thought a lot of people thought he would quit and I didnt think he did maybe he transfers out idk just thought he showed alot at the end of the year something that can be built on
I think Bailey has so much potential, especially to see how he just ran through Vance Vom. With injured hands. He just needs to obviously heal up his hands.
Hopefully the staff and trainers can help his hands get back to operating at 100%. Even if this means he has to take a redshirt.
If he is recovered from his hands and fully healthy, give me Bailey all day.
Oh, he's got potential alright. So does Jordan Williams, so did Jacori Teemer.
Make Gabe Arnold his roommate for the next 6 months and see if he can help out with his most glaring weakness. If not, cut your losses you've already accumulated and move on.
Nobody is saying your wrong lol. Think alot of people can learn from gabe arnold. Iowa just made the elite 8 in basketball and im an iowa fan so im gonna celebrate. If nasir and Jordan leave they leave then we dont have to worry or talk about it anymore.
You're annoying af.
Vombaur tore his ACL at some point at big tens, likely before the match with Bailey. He had a huge knee brace on for all of NCAA’s and is recovering now. Lots of injuries in March for everybody.
157 would also be a spot that wouldn't have a previous AA in that scenario
Yes. It isn’t relevant. Nile Kinnick had success with the wing T. But who gives a ****?
You sure about that^^^^^?????
I believe that line up could be in the mix for a run at the title!!! OBVIOUSLY everything for IOWA would have to come together and peak BUTTs
125 DeLuca How good is he? Can he be a title threat right outa the box?
133 CROOK if healthy is a title threat! weight class id DEEP right now, have to see how many kids move up?
141 BAILY needs to be healthy TWOOOO. He has shown flashes of GR8ness and at 100% he is IN the mix!!!
149-157 NOT sure how you have it playing out? Would like to see BLOCK move up, WILLIAMS??? ESTRADA??? Would need at least one of these weights to be a high AA
165 BLAZE could be a finalist, maybe if MessyIdiot moves up? BLAZE could win
174 ARNOLD you have to believe could win this weight after AAing at 197!!!
184 FERRARI healthy is the best guy at the weight
197 AJ back down to 197 should be in the finals and could win it!!!
HEAVY B1G BEN will be ranked #1 and IF healthy and B1Ger, he WINS IT!!!
Now, looking at this with my SIGNATURE SPECIAL ADDITION GOLD FRAMED DARK BLACK LENSED IOWA HAWKEYE GLASSES
125 1-3
133 1-4
141 1-4
149 top 8
157 BLOCK here 1-4
165 1-3
174 1-3
184 1-2
197 1-2
H 1-2
Give me FIVE finalists, with THREEE CHAMPS with TWOOO more 3rd another TWOOOO in 4th and a 7th!!!!! With F*** st and OakTree also slugging it out. NO one team would be able to just dominate and run away with it!!!
The portal definitely decides if they are fighting for 4th-6th again or can at least compete for 2nd or a very solid 3rd. They absolutely need a 133 and Bailey healthy at 141. 157 and 165 would be HUGE on top of that.
At 133, Crookham is a NO BRAINER, injuries or not. There is NO argument against going full out to get him if you can. That weight is now an absolute top heavy MEAT GRINDER. Fully healthy, he is the only guy out there that can at least be competitive with the 4 young'ns and maybe could even pull off a win or 2.
At 157, I want to hold out hope for Williams, but this year certainly makes that extremely difficult. Would love to see a top guy here, as long as Block can still hold 149 comfortably...
At 165, Blaze would be another no brainer.
After that, I am not even sure you need AJ at 197. Many have doubts about Ludington, but 197 is NOT a tough weight outside of Barr and, maybe, Merril. Ludington could absolutely get into that middle AA range.
How fitting would it be if they did land Blaze to fill right in for Caliendo? I couldn't think of a better guy to compliment the best transfer Iowa has brought in during the portal era...

YOU guys(can I use "guys" here) do NOT get it!!! YOU continue to act like BEAT DAWGS even when others just PROVED TWOOO you that F*** st is NOT untouchable for the LOVE of GOD get OFF krailures D!!!!
OakTree was the B1Gest of teams to show EVERYONE, NO one is unbeatable!!! BUTTs several OTHERS also got IN on the act!!! STANFORD, who would have put B1G $$$ on the heavy from NC winning it!?!?!?
I mean STOP ALREADY!!!! That "dream team " listed above ^^^^^^ would 100% be in the HUNT for a title!!! Fine to say F*** st would still be the favorites. BUTTs, injuries, peaking, upsets, etc.... HAPPEN!!!
Would be a THREEEE team WAR and I would bet B1G that it would come down TWOOOO the finals for the TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

He's from Ohio. I believe for Marcus the last two schools were PSU and Ohio State.
Yep. Iowa's a Basketball school now.
Great win. They got great EFFORT from multiple people. And they got rewarded for it.At least when I've watched Vombaur (admittedly not a lot), he's a goer and a tough out for anybody.
Oh, now I get it. Because those stud brothers that Iowa had was so long ago you can't recruit brothers anymore. That's brilliant. We certainly don't need the Raney's, Blaze's and Bassett/Miller. Guess the Bachmann's and Kenny's are out now too.
Morningstar is gonna be really pissed when you edge him out of that new Recruiting Coordinator job.
I really don’t understand why people think Blaze would leave PSU. If their priority was going to school together then they would have already.
