Curious on who St. John will target to field our first roster? I assume she will recruit the rosters at the Grand Views, Simpson, Dubuque, North Central (IL) program's for ready talent through the transfer portal who would want to wrestle for a big D1 brand like Iowa State. I know many girls on those rosters from the state of Iowa whose dream would be to wrestle for the Cyclones (so long as they're talented enough). Also curious on who she will add to her coaching staff?

Passed away in March. He will aways be remembered for his group's (Country Joe and the Fish) performance in at Woodstock 1969. I didn't realize he passed. 84 years old.

We get focused on our own adds and subtractions from the portal, but it is interesting to see what conference foes are experiencing. Massive turnover at some stops. Kansas for instance:

Lost both Bedunga and Tiller from their front line. Paul Mbyia, a 7" Center also left, as have Elmarko Jackson, Jamari McDowell, Samis Calderon, Jayden Dawson and Corbin Allen. They have picked up Keanu Dawes from Houston. I believe out of eligibility inclues Tre White and Melvin Council. Darryn Peterson to the NBA draft. Of course you have to look at their HS class to finish the roster as they got 5* PF Taylen Kinney, 4* big Davion Adkins, 4* wing Trent Perry and another top recruit already for 2027.

Someone want to tackle an update for others in the conference?

Does anyone have an idea of what it is?
My coworker at work got it, started off as just a cold, then moved into bronchitis.
He tested negative for covid & Flu A/B
And yes, I’m asking because he gave it to me lol.
Felt a cold coming on last Sunday, still went for a run, Monday I felt quite a bit worse. Tuesday bad again, Wednesday felt a little better so went on another run.
Thursday felt terrible and had a low grade fever for 3 days. <100.4
Now just have a wonderful hacking cough.
(No fever anymore)

Any ideas on what’s going around?

Edit: Doctor thinks I have very mild pneumonia in my left lung yay.
Getting put on antibiotics for a precaution.

ISU softball played #14 Arizona on Easter. They lost but it was an entertaining game. There were 7 home runs in the first three innings (3 by AZ, 4 by ISU).

I read this book when it came out and when I found out Ridley Scott was directing and the cast I was all in. This looks great. And the book is fantastic.

After this much time and success we have learned to trust coach TJ and his staff. This week, in celebration of TJ and crew reeling in all 5 Portal targets we are looking for song titles/lyrics containing the word "Trust."

We are accepting variations of the word to include; trusted, trusting, trustworthy, distrust, untrusted.

Hi!

New column from Randy Peterson as he dives into the impact of Kevin Dresser.

PETERSON: Kevin Dresser’s presence made Iowa State’s addition of women’s wrestling easier - Cyclone Fanatic

I mean, really, adding women’s wrestling was the only decision Iowa State logically could make. A state of Iowa college adding a popular state of Iowa sport makes so much sense. So much sense, in fact, that you wonder why some fans thought flag football might even be an option to replace the...

Report: Penix, Njoku, McKinney used by ex-Bama DE for fraud

A former Alabama defensive end is accused of using wigs and fake IDs to impersonate NFL players to secure nearly $20 million in fraudulent loans, with a report identifying Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku and Xavier McKinney as the targeted players.

www.espn.com

He used wigs and fake IDs to try to swindle millions of dollars? I'm hoping to eventually see pictures of this guy in the disguises. This story isn't complete without that.

Here are pictures of the guys he was pretending to be as well as a picture of the upcoming defendant:

Starting early this year but this team...

Added Heise back. Removed the oddity of Dwayne Pierce remaining a Cyclone.

The results?

The updated roster would be #15 after Illinois and before Arizona.

That projection is in the range of fighting for a top-four seed in the Big 12 tournament.

There is a strong possibility Houston and BYU maul the conference like... well, two cougars.
