Just to piggy back off of this for casual wrestling fans, this would be the equivalent of Georges Niang becoming the Iowa Hawkeye Men's basketball coach with his kids growing up Hawkeye fans.
Wrestling Press Conference Scheduled for Tomorrow

Interesting they’re just converting the old gymnastics facility in Beyer for the women. Seems like the perfect time to do something else
Yes please, wouldn't mind seeing Dresser take that role as well.
So, does women's wrestling not need AC either?
Such a dumb question. Today is about the future of women’s wrestling at Iowa state, no shade to gymnastics but their program is over now.
I'm not trying to suggest they shouldn't have to answer more questions about gymnastics, but during a press conference with several major announcements it just doesn't seem like the right time to get real in depth. Maybe I'm wrong.
lol right- some good questions being asked.
I don’t think the tall ceilings of that gymnastics room is conducive to wrestling, but maybe can have multiple levels or something. But that doesn’t match JP’s comment about it just being cosmetic upgrades.
they're gonna removed the foam pit and bars and reuse the mats. prepare yourself for the DIY "instant" wrestling room surrounded by chainlink with privacy sheets hanging on it.
I'm gonna need Iowa State Women's Wrestling to win multiple natties
I mean it's kinda the reason we have women's wrestling now. The AD has been fairly quiet on the ending of gymnastics and haven't made themselves available for questions on it so I get why the reporters are asking, it is their job.
But agree today is about wrestling.
Most wrestlers prefer to have the heat turned up no matter what time of the year it is
The few I've know are a crazy bunch.Most wrestlers prefer to have the heat turned up no matter what time of the year it is
However they want it going forward is the approach I hope.
OK, I've never heard Alli before.
She is IMPRESSIVE. Looked the reporters directly in the eyes. She is a born leader.

The thing I've grown to appreciate about Metcalf and Alli, after quasi getting to know them at wrestling functions is you can tell that they truly care. They are committed to Iowa State and it comes across in the way they talk and act. Really proud to be able to call them our coaches.
Are the womens wrestling NCAA championships locked into Iowa City for a number of years and does anyone have any idea if they could come to Ames?
