Recruits & Transfers

[CyCloneRastlinG]

It was hard seeing those two kids leaving the state of Iowa to go to Columbia after the relationships they’ve made here. The class just got even better, if that was even possible before! Massive changes to the recruiting class late, never give up, always looking to improve. Welcome to the Cyclones!

There always may be more. Transfers are the one that seem to be kept pretty low. Never heard a work about Sam Schuyler or Kraissers until it was announced

Recruiting for the upcoming year is far from over

Willie had a new 2023 big board released. Tate is #49 overall. McCrae Hagery is #36 and Gable Porter #83. Would still love to land Hagerty for a future 197.

Also noticed that overall there are 10 Iowa High Schoolers in his top 100. Has to be the best class out of Iowa in well over a decade

I'm on the McCrae and Porter boat also. McCrae really raised his stock lately and proved he can win some big matches outside of Iowa. I didnt see his name this past weekend, is he not going to Fargo?

Also said before that whether you like him or not Sebolt wrestling is raising the level of competition in Iowa. Kids are being forced to get better and going outside of Iowa to improve their stock. Big Game with some studs too on that side of the state.

Hagarty is 34, CJ Walrath is 54, Kale Petersen is 80. To my question above since Hagarty got 3rd at UWW Cadets he's already qualified for Fargo

And IAWrestle announced this week that Sebolt is opening a second location in Iowa City...using the Carver-Hawkeye wrestling room/facilities. Was just a matter of time before they opened a spot in eastern IA, considering how many SWA kids are from the 380 corridor.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like big game can really compete with Sebolt.

Big Game will do fine vs Sebolt I think. It's the smaller clubs that are going to struggle. But I also know many parents who prefer Big Game's style much more than Sebolt's way of doing things.

Eastern Iowa Wrestling Club, DC Elite, and is Ubassa still a thing, may be introuble

I would much rather take high-quality wrestlers from Big game opposed to the guys from Sebolt.
Shriver has been injured, Ayala has been injured, Focick missed nearly his entire senior year, block struggling with injury now, Jesuroga coming off of an injury now. This seems to be a reoccurring theme with those guys. Is sebolt pushing them too hard to win at an early age for self glorification? It will be interesting if any of them perform at the college level no one has done anything spectacular yet.

I’m a big fan of Askren and what he’s doing up north. Heard him talk about his coaching philosophy a lot and their approach to competition with growth and development. I know crab legs is too. I think every coach is going to be pissed they missed on Mitchell Mesenbrink if he stays at Cal Baptist. He’s peaking at the end of his high school career and going to excel at the next level I feel.

I know Mcdonough is running a club out of Prairie High - MCDominate Training Center

While i certainly agree that Sebolt will overtrain leading to injury and burnout, I’d still really like to have guys like Ayala, Keuter, and Jesuroga.

For those of you following along to the Gabe Arnold news this is going to be great. Both will be at 182 next year it looks like
