Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
Maybe Bailey returns to his ideal weight. If not for Drake, he would probably be there this year. Then you start looking at 41s for a transfer.
Is this another variation of, “those billionaires are just cheating?”
It’s not a crazy idea to think they are using revenue sharing. Maybe VTech has some studs on board and other studs see a place where they can get in on the ground floor of building a new OSU/Iowa/PSU. There is no other way to fund the wrestlers without running afoul of NIL rules. There is no other money.
Didn’t see this mentioned but PA soph Karenbauer win his second Powerade title this week (107 last yr, 114 this week). His sister is Hawkeye gymnast.
Looks like he wants to stay out east. If not Iowa, hope he goes to Rutgers. He will have to run the B10 gauntlet every year too then. tOSU spends more than anyone on football. Bet they are up there in wrestling too.
Wrestled 2023 at 113, last year at 120 & now this year he's at 126. I'd say he's probably looking at 133 in 2 years
Be careful what you wish for. You just might be the one getting the black eye.

My son read somewhere that tOSU is out because they don’t want to give him his NIL demands. If true, that’s great. Heard it was in the 7 figure range but that may not be true. If he’s demanding a huge NIL that probably ruled us out with the young studs we have and have coming in 27 and 28, hoping to add 2-3 more in 28. With that said, is there going to be anything more 27 recruits or is recruiting talk going to be dead until July , after we can contact the 28 class.
Only thing not adding up is everyone knows Iowa always offers the most than guys choose to go elsewhere.
Maybe with Iowa and tOSU having quite a few other young big recruits coming in they just didn’t think he was worth the investment?
and that NC is the top bidder? A basketball school that also just signed a top 20 football class. I dont understand anything at all anymore.
Even though my little “joke” sucked I think it went over your head. I was getting at the fact Pat and other douches always try to say Iowa offers recruits the most NIL and they still go elsewhere cause they just don’t want to wrestle for Iowa.
As far as not worth the investment I think a guy would be crazy to think Knox isn’t worth the investment. If a team can get him they go after a kid or this caliber!
I thought those 7 figure NIL days were over?
I don't believe so. In all honesty, Tony was better with a belly.
I've had a couple before. I'm not scared.
I did also. I don’t know if they can combine NIL and revenue sharing to get him close to what he wants at a place like NC and V tech. I don’t think he any interest in us, and tOSU apparently doesn’t feel they need him that bad. Kohl really needs a blue chip to try to get some recruiting momentum.
Had a penn state friend tell me we are going to target the Larken boys & Garvin after this season & says they'll all be Hawks. Anyone else think thats a possibility? I know the Larkins are at weights we're bringing a lot of guys in at but they'd be in their junior & senior years before any of them are on campus & Harvey could possibly be our 165 next year. Would be huge if we could pull it off
I remember a time in the last offseason when hearing that the Larkin brothers were shopping around; but I think that is long gone and don’t see them leaving.
As a huge fan of Iowa and wrestling, I hope they stay at ASU and aren’t poached.
Since Garvin and Daniel Cardenas are seniors, it would be interesting if they enter the portal as a graduate transfer. One of them manning 165 would help us a lot next year
I said i thought that ship had sailed & he said he knows they want to be on a competitive team & asu just got beat by sdsu. As a huge Iowa fan I hope theres truth to this & they're wearing black & gold next yearI remember a time in the last offseason when hearing that the Larkin brothers were shopping around; but I think that is long gone and don’t see them leaving.

Why would Sealy at PSU not be a possibility at 165. Did he dislike Iowa that much or is he a top 10 pfp guy content with being a room guy at PSU ?
Sounds like several Iowa commits will be out at the loaded Doc B Invitational in California this weekend (Jan. 9-10).
Cali native David Calkins (2026 signee), plus 2027 commits Joe Bachmann and Israel Borge are the names I've seen mentioned thus far.

And his brother would fit in nicely at 133 next year
I guess Iowa didn't cheat enough have a big enough bag or adequate peds to land him
So you're saying they can't recruit with Ped State? Probably true.
What part of Knox going to Rutgers don't you understand you little f****** b****Oh really?Can you mumble... "over my head"? What a dipshit.
Hey Einstein, this appears to be way over your head. Try to catch up. And try and calm down before your parents see you saying bad things on the internet.
We all understood... Knox to Rutgers... the minute we saw... Knox to Rutgers... posted. Thats pretty simple. Are you just really stupid?
Oh yeah dumbass I said we couldn't recruit because we didn't get Knox what's that have to do with Penn State you dumb f*****Hey Einstein, this appears to be way over your head. Try to catch up. And try and calm down before your parents see you saying bad things on the internet.
Bailey probably never seeing 133 again...and if he doesn't get his stuff together we might be looking for a 133 and a 141 for next year.
