Kysen Terukina
Kysen Terukina just signed with Iowa State. Younger brother of former wrestler Shayden Terukina. Ranked #95 overall on the Flo big board, but he has a ton of upside. Very good late addition to the class! -
Jake Varner- 2020 Iowa State HOF Inductee
https://cyclones.com/news/2020/3/3/athletics-iowa-state-will-enshrine-five-in-2020-hall-of-fame-class.aspx Congrats to Jake for being inducted to the 2020 Iowa State Athletics Hall of Fame! One of my favorite wrestlers to watch growing up. -
Paniro Johnson Commits!
39th overall recruit on the 2021 big board according to Flo (4*) and 17th overall 145 pounder in the nation this year. Good get for Dresser and staff! -
Jaydin Eierman In Transfer Portal
Jaydin Eierman is transferring from Mizzou (according to Flo). I wonder if Iowa State will be a possibility with Willie on staff? He would be a very good pick up. -
Adam Busiello Transferring from ASU
Adam Busiello is transferring from Arizona State. Was the #44 overall recruit in last years class and is a 133 lber. I think he would be a great fit here as this might be Gomez's last year at 133 and he would fill in nicely next year, however Penn State might be tough to beat for him. -
2019-2020 Expectations
Well, with the football disappointment from Saturday, and the Vikings continuing to find ways to let me down, I am ready for wrestling season to begin. Below are my weight by weight expectations for the upcoming season! 125- I like how hard Mackall wrestles, and think he improved as the year... -
New Wrestling Practice Facility (In Regards to Pollard's Announcement)
Haven't seen this discussed yet, but looks like they are hoping to include new wrestling and volleyball practice facilities with the "Pollard & Light" district. I think this would be huge for recruiting and also continuing the momentum of the program. Not to mention it would be a lot closer to... -

Teske Transferring From PSU?
Willie from Flo had a tweet that Teske was transferring from Penn State. Thread on BWI about it too and they don't seem surprised. Chances he ends up at Iowa State (if true), and chances he can make 125? https://bwi.forums.rivals.com/threads/willie-says-teske-is-leaving.236080/ -
Bono
Anyone else hearing the rumor that Bono is going to be fired from other boards? Sounds like it is from recruiting violations, which wouldn't shock me. Also wonder if this could lead Wick to transfer (although he originally went to Wisconsin for Barry, so he might be there for the school and not... -
Milhof Out at NCAAs
Ryan Milhof broke his hand and will not be wrestling this week at Pittsburgh. Was the #14 seed at 125. Believe this means everyone below him (including Mackall) will bump up one spot. This will put Mackall at the #19 seed and face off against Sean Fausz (NC State) who was the #15 seed. Fausz is... -
Sad News- Willie's dad passed away
Thoughts and prayers with Willie and the Miklus family during this tough time. So glad his dad was able to make it to senior night and watch Willie wrestle one last time. -
Regular Season Grades
Below grades are based on my expectations to begin the season. C grade would be they are where I expected them to be pre-season. 125 - C+ I think Mackall is right around where I expected him to be (fringe top 20 wrestler). He competes hard and should earn an allocation/qualify for NCAAs. Hoping... -

Revised Season Expectations- Post Iowa Dual
I think the Iowa Dual raised the expected ceiling of this team for the rest of the year and would like to get everyone's thoughts on where we expect the team to be come March. My thoughts below: 125: I think Mackall has an outside chance to get to round of 12 at nationals, but I expect him to... -

2018 NCAA Finals Predictions
Anyone have predictions for finals/winners? I've got the following: 125: Suriano over Tomasello 133: Seth Gross over Desanto (reaching on Desanto, but that bottom side seems kind of weak to me) 141: Bryce Meredith over Yianni 149: Zain over Sorenson 157: Nolf over Hidlay (crazy that Nolf vs... -
New Commit
Hank Swalla from Ames committed last night. I think he could be a diamond in the rough type recruit (kind of like Dante). Was dominating competition this past year until he dislocated his elbow at districts.
