Thanks for the clarification of Henson’s class. I was thinking he was 2020.
AE fell into our lap like manna from heaven. Maybe I’d feel better if I actually thought was part of a larger plan... maybe they have been on him from the beginning. Not sure.
I agree that everything looks a lot better if we get Facundo. Fingers crossed.
I’m with you, and also don’t want to make it sound like recruiting has been great. It has not been as good as I would have expected considering how well this staff is doing with every other aspect of the sport.
However, getting those top 5 P4P type talents goes a long way. 3 top 5 P4P recruits in a lineup, sprinkled with a couple guys who were 40-100 ranked, and you have a really salty team that can compete for a trophy.
Let’s face it, ISU does not have much to offer these guys for us to be expecting amazing recruiting classes. The wrestling facilities are not great, the NCAA team has been terrible over the recent past, and ISU doesn’t have a club team/RTC that has accomplished hardly anything at the senior level.
Most of that stuff is changing with the new regime, but it’s unrealistic to think ISU can compete for recruits with Iowa, PSU, both OSUs, and several others right now.
