You posted we may be losing Yonger because of something that was on Hawkeye Report. You should lose your posting privileges for a while with that kind of nonsense.
Practically everybody in the real wrestling circles (FRL, Willie, etc.) are of the same mind: The guys leaving may not have made the lineup but the grass isn't always greener. If anything, possible transfers are more interested.
We want casual fans to tune in so we can't discredited them asking questions about what's going on and right now they have the perspective of the program is on fire.
Do the majority of wrestling fans know that isn't the case yes. But that's not my point.
I worry about 6-7 year seniors.
If they have already AA, many probably looking for $$$. When they get to the backside at NCAA, many are not that motivated. Many of their bodies are also beat up.
Even the 6-7 year guys that have not AA and probably not getting huge paycheck. Their bodies are beat up. Bad luck, maybe. But all 3 of our 6-7 years transfers (Schuyler, Feldkamp and Bockman) with all hurting bad by NCAA.
I would like to concentrate on younger guys that have more than 1 year left.

Whether or not Casey or Chittum are leaving won’t impact casual fans when we roll out a top 10 team at home duals next year
Teemer, Parco, Figs, Alirez might also fit that picture.
Looking at some of the guys in the portal (officially)
I think Jordan Williams is making a mistake leaving Little Rock. He was very questionable at Oklahoma and gassed in a lot of matches. He looked like a new guy in Little Rock and now he is leaving.
Nasir Bailey, I am not sure what is going on with him. He looked real good last year, but gassed in a lot of matches this year. Regressed a lot. Not sure why Williams and Bailey went opposite directions at Little Rock.

I don't know but I wonder if Bailey has trouble with his weight. He is pretty tall. In his match w/Evan Frost at NCAAs, he scored first TD then cut Frost loose (giving up 1st prd point) without making any attempt to ride. Looked like a mistake. Then he lost.
NEICyFan should not be allowed on this board. He damages the Iowa State wrestling brand time after time. Go away!
That wasn't my point.....I'm talking about what is taking place this moment in time not the future.
Like Caliendo who has been a great pick up for the Hawks
Yep. Young guy that has done well for them.
Buchanan is one of the few older guys that had success transferring
Don't tell anyone, but I actually like watching that hawkeye wrestle. Seems like a good dude.
I understand. My point is that whatever casual fans are thinking today doesn’t matter.
