Was looking and expecting one from FLO but haven’t seen one yet , glad we got this to start
2025-2025 Transfer Portal Needs, Wants, Updates
- Thread starter NEIACyclone
- Start date
Would disagree. Need high AA candidates to fill holes otherwise develop from within. $ can be used better for someone else.
i would say our depth guys are probably as good or better than him
Yeah I don’t expect him to come here, was just making note of an Iowa kid that was in the portal. Seems like a great kid, don’t expect him to be here.
Seems like a kid that would excel at SDSU or UNI
Exactly where my head went, I hope he finds a home at a place like that and finds success
Number of transfers in the portal currently. At first glance it looks like Cyclones have a problem with fleeing, but Penn State is only one short. This just shows that if you don't know the inside stories, you cannot rely on this to determine if there is an issue with people fleeing a program.
| Iowa State | 4 |
| Penn State | 3 |
| Rider | 3 |
| NC State | 3 |
| Rutgers | 2 |
| Virginia Tech | 2 |
| North Carolina | 2 |
| Chattanooga | 1 |
| Kent State | 1 |
| Iowa | 1 |
| Michigan State | 1 |
| Ohio State) | 1 |
Anyone who is throwing up flags at this point is in for a wild ride. Rosters need to get down to 30 there will be lots of guys from all over that are going to have to portal if they want to try and find a starting lineup spot
This still isn’t any sort of official documentation on this from the NCAA. Anybody leaving now wouldn’t have anything to do with this. For all anyone knows that won’t go until effect until 2029. Anything I’ve read is still speculation unless you have a press release you want to share with us
This may be correct but schools including ISU are all aligning to a July 1 timeframe. Dresser told me this weekend he has to be down to a 30 member team on Nov 1.
I doubt the UNC coaches came to IC for the Salute to showcase their guys to transfer to Iowa.
Now, Daniel Cardenas...that's a different story, which fits your narrative.
I'll tell you who isn't worry about it - Cael and penn state. They have 6 guys in their 2025 recruiting class not including the ono kid, so 7. And just got a flip from one of the top 5 kids in 2026. They are still stockpiling as many kids as they want. But here we are losing the number 2 kid on the 2022 big board. Number 3 on that same big board is now a 2x national champ who Casey beat a couple times
Pretty strong rumor Joe Sealy is transferring out of Penn State who was ranked 1st on the 2024 big board (I believe)
Also, Casey beating Mendez was great but they are 2 very different wrestlers now. Casey was also quite a bit bigger than Mendez during those matches. I wanted Casey to stick around, but not everyone is fine with sitting in today's day and age.
