I heard Howard is real tight with the Bachmann crew. Being a KD kid hurts Iowa's chances maybe?
@bnicolls are you hearing any other potential 2027 recruits? Any update on 2028 kids such as Sanchez? Hutcherson? Howard or Heeg? Thanks Bob we love ya!
Yea but Taylor is bringing in talent and just letting it play out. The same way they do at PSU.
Most of the high levels talent at KD has gone to PSU. Gavin Mangano, who is a KD kid, trains with the bachmanns and is close with them and chose PSU. We weren’t recruiting him though, so I’m interested in seeing with us having the Bachmanns and us recruiting Howard if that would have a huge pull.
okie st is a bit loaded at middle wt, but ISU always has room at the Inn.
Unfortunately, Hutcherson will have no overlap with Barr and Mirisola will only have one year left, if he hangs around. PSU will be in the market for a top 197, and with him a PA kid with his best bud already probabaly starting for them, I don't see how he goes anyplace else. If Cael decides he's getting a recruit, he usually gets them. Ross may be one of the few, other than Spencer, that he didn't get.
Totally agree. Have the balls to be honest. If God and prayer led him to Iowa, how could he then tell him to decommit 4 months later because Iowa is a bad place for a christian and good person to be. They also should have been totally honest about what they expect from us before committing. They may have been able to take their gang to Okie state, since anything goes there, but after the fiasco with us, I think Taylor and PSU said no thanks. Still think he had it right the first time committing to us.
100% he made a HUGE mistake leaving IOWA!!! I am a B1G believer in the kid, probably more then most. I could see him winning 4 at IOWA. Not sure how it turns out at vt but he loses TONS of market/coverage/fans etc....
There may be more of an opportunity for this kid to see the mat at VT then Iowa, maybe? Or he just wants to be with his friends. The.End.
I dont think he would see the mat at too many top 15 D1 schools.
People who seek acceptance and attention by talking about faith every time they open their mouth are as trustworthy as a priest alone with an alter boy.
Very true. Just trying to think good thoughts on it
. Maybe Bob could help persuade Hutcherson. Just a thought On that mcmullen decommit means anything Duffy is better anyway
What about Boe or Staples? Both of them are probably projected for 165 - 184. Any interest or traction with them? Also as far as Hutcherson goes its not like I know anything about the kid but he likes everything Hawkeye related on IG & didn’t he say his dad & him are Hawkeye fans?
I really like Boe and have watched him over this past year. Staples is good also, personally I have just not seen him do much over the last two years but could be wrong.
Has NOTHIN to do with what I said!!! Kid can go play girls softballs for all I care!!! It has to do with the WAY this ALL went down!!!
I believe you are somewhat correct. I do believe there are people with great FAITH and they live their lives based on what they believe. Then there are others who use religion in ways that it should not be used!!!
He may be able to hold 174 for 1 year after Gabe graduates and Angelo is a senior. I don’t even like talking about those two guys being gone, but can’t be caught with big holes like on the past. May not be a really talented one year transfer available, or you may not get them.
We need to land one of Heeg, Boe, Staples or Dhabolt
Well after this year and next in High School and a redshirt he will need to be 174 for one year at either school. And I am hearing 175 is with not much problem. He is only 15 though so he may keep growing quite a bit.
Pretty sure Dhabolt projects bigger than the other three, so get him and one of the other 3, or Howard of coarse
No, its not if he was young for his grade, he would have been a cadet/16u last year. He was a jr last year which means he is in the older half of his class.
Point is, he wasn’t “redshirted “ in junior high like many wrestlers. He’s normal age for his grade, assuming his birthday isn’t late spring. Melvin miller, in the same grade, has turned 18 already.
I hope every Iowa fan that followed any of the Bassett train, unfollowed them on their social media.
So he went from still being 15, to being young for his grade to now being normal age?
Listen to what? He's going 175 this year. And has been as high as 188. Only you can post ?
