Are we recruiting?
Wyatt Voelker West Delaware So
And is he related to Eric Voelker?
 
He is only a sophomore and his family is all Hawk fans so I doubt we have a chance.

Vet - I get what your saying and once upon a time that was the case... However, here's another point of view:
Fact: Our current coaches are mostly Hawks.
Opinion: This changes the game on recruiting "family Hawk fans" so I'd think we would have a chance.
Fact: We have some pretty good upper weight guys in our program (Miklus & Gadson) that should attract some talent.
Opinion: I hope our coaches don't have the same doubtful outlook.

Trust me on this one. However I also hope our coaches are beating down his door.

Yeah, God Bless Willie but he’s not exactly a draw for recruits.


Iowa doesn’t recruit the in-staters like they used to.

Might be true on some level but their roster has a good percentage of Iowa kids and they still go hard after the studs. If Voelker develops like many think they will be after him hard.
 
Johnson wins 7-3. Very quick on his feet. Lots of super ducks. Doesn't like to ride

Get McNeil next. #1 in the national at 145 and committed to North Carolina. I think this is the guy that recently beat Voinovich. Very tough on top.

Robinson has won a couple wrestlebacks. Latest one 8-3.

Paniro got pinned by McNeil. McNeil is a hammer on top. North Carolina is getting a good one there. I watched him ride the crap out of Voinovich a couple weeks ago.

Voinovich is overrated. Exposed at WNO and has lost 3-4 regular season matches since.
