He had 369 yards receiving and 11 T.D.'s his Junior year as a tight end at Iowa City High. He was the USA Today Iowa Male Athlete of the Year for reasons other than Wrestling.
Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
Hope we have a new thread started when we get news on recruiting.
So what do you guys think about Shamus Regan? When will he transfer to LHP and we gain more data about him?
With us getting Shamus, this makes me to believe that some of the recruits will be heavier in weight then we what we expect.
What if one of the Bachmann Bros can get up to 174? Or is this wishful thinking ?

I have no inside info so this is purely a guess at this point. But this is how I see our 27 recruits projecting weight wise .
Paul kenny-133/141
Borge-149
Youngblut-141/49
Bachmann- 157/165
Amato-157/165
Shamus Reagan-133
now obviously if Amato or bachmann could ever grow into a 174 pounder that would get all these guys in the lineup. How feasible that is, I’m not sure at this point.
Doyle will beef him up and have him ready returning punts in no time.

What he said is true. People wouldn't run off at the mouth like they do if there was a possible black eye coming. The future is great but there are some things from the past that we need to bring with us.
It would be pretty cool if the wrestling recruiting thread discussed wrestling recruiting & not football. I mean I love football but we have a thousand threads to talk about it. Lets please get back on track. I know there isn't a ton going on with recruiting or at least anything we know about but still... anyhow hopefully the staff is working hard on Heeg, Staples, O Ferrell or Fernandez
No, I’m saying we should expect someone who is trying to add bulk to every person on a roster to be better at adding bulk than someone who doesn’t want most of their athletes to add bulk.
Herein lies a problem. Why does Iowa wrestling need to depend on the football S&C guy for this stuff? Whomever is in that role for wrestling should have the ability to handle it.
This is ancient history. 15+ years ago.
Next time I see Chad, I'll let him know he is ancient.
Does anyone really believe that Doyle is/was the only guy on the planet who knew/knows how to add good weight to athlete's??
Guessing this is the right thread…. How are we feeling about the matchup against Vandy?
I always amazed at anyone who is offended by any blend of another sport in a wrestling thread. My guess is its a bunch of little guys who only wrestled lightweight and are 5'5.
How dare we discuss a 2 way player randomly in a thread. Be careful what you wish for as I'd rather this forum be like this than some control freak like Tom McAndrew going crazy about going off topic in a thread.

I won't say he was the only guy but I will say he was among a handful of guys who were the best in the U.S.
Best in the US... maybe...until his true colors came out.
Rumor has it Anthony Knox and his Dad were in Iowa City out shoveling Tom Brands driveway yesterday 
... oh ****, sorry I thought this was a wrestling forum, didnt realize it was the football forum

Same as every other Kirk Ferentz game. Hope you can put up 13 points and pray.
One of the best in the US is correct, the other part is complete crap.
Accusations made about him were not and are still not true.
Yes, he was a hardass but the other stuff is made up lies.
Unfortunately, he was used as the sacrificial lamb to appease the pressure.
He will be 39 in about a month. So yeah…go ahead. Also PSU has won 12 titles to 1 since he graduated. Thats ancient.
Anyway, I’m basically asking the same thing as you. Why is it everyone cries “Doyle” in this scenario? Nevermind he was football S&C and he’s been gone for 5 years.
His true colors were black and gold. And there was zero evidence he was racist . . . just pathetic whiners who couldn't differentiate between cultural practices and ethnicity.
University needed a head to roll along with the payouts to put this to bed. It was going to be Brian or Doyle. Obviously we know who winning there.
Never really made a ton of sense for Iowa even if he were to go 33
If he was able to go 33 how would it not make sense? There’s no obvious replacement for Drake next year
1 year of a grad transfer at 33 is better than paying 7 figures for Knox, when we already have Paul Kenny and other quality lightweights coming in the next year.
I’ve asked this a few ways-
the new NIL rules are supposed to eliminate “pay to play.” Every NIL deal goes through a clearinghouse and ensures the deal is legitimate and is given in return for services- like the local car dealership pays high 4 figures for placement in a commercial. A niche sport like wrestling can’t command more on the open market. This is why we think Bassett gave up up to $5M when he decommitted from Iowa- any future deal would be very low 5 figures at most.
I am clearly no expert but I’m thinking future big paydays will come from revenue sharing. Maybe that allows for up to $200k/year/athlete, but that comes from the school, not from a billionaire donor.
The only answer I’ve received is something along the lines of, “that’s quaint, you think those schools and their billionaires aren’t cheating, haha.”
So my response would be, there is no money behind VA Tech or any of the other schools for Knox. But they might be promising revenue sharing, which any big public school could come up with. Thoughts?
tOSU has money. Even if Bassett talks enough recruits into Vtech to make them solid #3, he’s still a fool for walking away from that money with the biggest fan base and coaches perfect for his style and attitude. It was lose lose for both sides.
So we assuming he will be starting 133 as true freshman? If so, he needs to put some size and strength on this off season.
That’s a big assumption that he’s for sure gonna be a 33 and that he’ll be ready to go as a true freshman. NIL is crazy but the type of guys who are getting paid are guys like Anthony Knox #2 in his class and has had success throughout his whole highschool career against the best competition. Paying big on a guy who has 4 years seems a lot more promising than paying a lot of money on a 1 year rental.
With Bassett, miller, Siedel, and a few other studs already on board, where does Vtech get the money? Maybe school has pledged a lot of rev share to wrestling??
And a one year grad transfer next year would be the bridge to a true freshman Kenny the following year, assuming he would be ready to go.
Who knows who even will be available especially if we’re looking specifically for grad transfers. We’re assuming Kenny is a 33 and ready to go as a true freshman. The only Jr’s ranked top 10 at 33 are Evan frost and Jacob van Dee and they’re not coming. Evan Mougalin is ranked 13 and is the only other junior in the top 20 and he’s a Penn guy so he’s not coming. Anyone beyond that wouldn’t even be worth looking into at this point
