idk how the portal would work with incoming freshman or if you could still flip them at this point but someone worth a look in my opinion is Reagan Milheim. Could be a 65er and placed 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 2nd in PA. Lost to Melvin miller the last 2 years in the finals losing 5-4 or 4-3 this year. Then at the all star classic he had Jayden James on the ropes scoring multiple takedowns. He was down 1 with short time and James was gassed, took a shot and got put to his back to make the final 17-10. He’s currently committed to American where his older brother attends.

because a blue chip would rather have a condo and a bag on the bench at PSU than a chance to compete for Iowa or anywhere else. Apparently. Thats why.

If Iowa cant offer enough money, or development, or a starting spot, then wtf is there left to offer?

I’d say if he enters the portal, it isn’t so apparent.

If we're after committed recruits, first ones should be Bassett and Miller.

I’m all out of luck. I will leave it for the true insiders!

but, if I was Lockett, I would think hard about Iowa. He can step right in and be a leader and train with Caliendo instead of being 4th fiddle at OSU
Yep, he’d fit in nicely if he decides to enter the portal

Wow, you really went full transfer portal mode. You listed TWENTY SIX guys, lol. That is almost an entire roster with the current limits enforced.

Those are potential targets from the portal or who SHOULD enter the portal in my humble opinion. Isn't that the title and gist of the thread? Sorry if I confused you little man.

I think he was thinking about this for awhile. No pomp at all in that announcement. That’s a get me the hell out of dodge comment.
Or just that somebody said he’s not getting paid next year. This is a perfect example of somebody who is just in it for the money. Another reason why I love going after portal guys with two or more years – – if they don’t pan out the first year then they don’t get paid the second or third.

Should I quote you twice as well? I just found it entertaining that your wish list was longer than my daughter’s Christmas wish list ever was.

Sorry if I confused you, overly robust man.

Pretty sure he’s got a school already. Won’t ruin the surprise but I don’t think you’ll like it. Unless things have changed that is.
I heard he was going to Iowa State the day it was announced he was not on team. Must’ve been in the works already.

he had 2 JUCO years, 3 years a Wartburg, This season at Iowa. Even if he qualifies for medical redshirt, JUCO years must not count at all? Seems like that rule is not applied fairly.

remember In 24-25 season Endene went to Wisconsin and was in their room for a month with plans to wrestle there and quit and showed back up at Wartburg in early Sept 2025.

i feel like you use to add more to this forum. Put people on ignore and get back to wrestling talk. You have good insight but it seems you just want to argue with trolls now. We need to take this site back and put the trolls on ICE.
You do realize you chose my LEAST arguing post in a very long to time to make your point, right?

Look, I would truly love for the board to be that way. I really would. Sadly, it isn’t even remotely close. So, I dive right in.

I also believe the ignore function is the coward’s way out. I don’t want to visit an echo chamber. I simply want those differing viewpoints to at least have SOME basis in reality or at least somewhat belong on an IOWA wrestling forum. When I believe they don’t, it is fun for me to point that out in the most annoying, but often creative way possible…

All good. It takes A LOT for me to get offended in real life discourse. It is almost impossible for it to happen on here.

Do your thing. I actually agreed with much of what you said. I would be completely content if this board somehow morphed into the type of place you mentioned. It will NEVER happen, but it definitely would be welcomed!
