    ***WBB: 2026 Recruiting Thread***

    What you are really saying is you don't know, but you speculate that they wanted out from under Audi's shadow. Let's look at some facts. Jada went from 12.7 pts/game at Arizona to 15.3 this year. She went from 2.9 to 7.7 assists per game. And held steady at 3.5 rebounds per game. Not the stats...

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    Sorry to read this Acoustimac, but maybe most saddened because I can't disagree with you. College sports are supposed to be different from the pros, but the television executives saw a chance to make more money - a lot more money - and took advantage. - that's where I place at least some of the...

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    It's only one writer's opinion, but nonetheless, seeing three of our girls at the top part of the list saddens me too. On the bright side, and I may be the only person on here who feels this way, I am looking forward to watching our nine former players to see how they do on their new teams...

    Mystery Virus going around Iowa

    You You have my sympathy because last December, I had very similar symptoms. Maybe the worst lethargy I had felt in years. Doctors were great; tested every virus under the sun and I was negative for them all. I had a bit of a fever and the chest xray showed a vague opacity. Diagnosis? Probably...

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    Who said other players on the team resented Audi. Just because an anonymous poster says it doesn't make it so.

    Carleton 1st pick in WNBA

    Maybe even more importantly, her family and friends will be able to watch her games on TV as they are all televised on channels in Canada that most people get (TSN and Sportsnet). Alot of US feeds don't cross the border into Canada so her profile in Canada will increase.

    Carleton 1st pick in WNBA

    She's from Chatham which is about 2/3 of the way from Toronto to Detroit, so maybe a 2 1/2 to 3 hr drive.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    OK. I'm going to take the bait, although I know I shouldn't. Because ganging up on Audi, who by all accounts is a truly decent person as well as a heck of a ball player, is sickening. And by ganging up, I mean the number of posters here who diss Audi, not just GT25Ump. While there is momentum on...

    I'm confused. Are you talking about a Wooden Award All American? And asking who would want her!

    Does a B12 wrestling schedule prepare our wrestlers for national success?

    Please read my original post. I said I was looking at final placings in the 2026 t'ment. I did this because I think we evaluate our success on the basis of how we do at Nationals. But WVU finished 24th, not 16th, Northern Iowa finished 31st, not 18th, Oklahoma finished 30th, and SDSU finished...

    Does a B12 wrestling schedule prepare our wrestlers for national success?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I count 3 in the top 10 (OKSU, Iowa and Stanford), 5 in the top 15 (+AZSU, Mizzou) and 7 in the top 25 (+Lehigh, WVU). But if that is enough competition, I'm fine. I'm not arguing. I'm just wondering out loud.

    Does a B12 wrestling schedule prepare our wrestlers for national success?

    I've been wondering about this for a while. Our wrestling team does not have nearly as competitive a schedule as a team in the B10. Does that hurt us. I started thinking about this a few years ago, as an avid VB fan, I'd see our girls do decently in the B12 but have very, very limited success...

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 3 (Friday, 11am CT)***

    I don't get this attitude. Any Cyclone that leaves and does well reflects well on us. If the FB guys do poorly at Penn State, people will say we are weak; if they do well, people will say ISU has a strong program. Plus, they're kids; kids do all kinds of things - myself included - that are...

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thursday, 6pm CT)***

    Thanks for some sanity here. I'm surprised by how quickly some so-called fans have turned on our guys. I got a lot of enjoyment watching our guys all season. Right now, rather than be disappointed in our wrestling, I am disappointed for our wrestlers.
