Kind of off topic, but i was just thinking about Paniro and NCAA's. Obviously he'll make it and be a decent seed, but I was thinking I bet anyone seeded above him will not love to wrestle him because he has the tools to win it all and beat anyone, but on the other hand if I was a lower seed I'd be totally cool wrestling him cause it'll be a match that whomever can get a takedown will win. Just a weird dynamic.
agreed. guys like the frost brothers and chittum would scare me more knowing theyre not gonna give up and going to push you the whole 7 minutes. Our lineup may be the most talented with paniro in it, but its the most fun with ech swid the frost brothers chittum and mj

Which Ferrari we talking?
haven’t been on the Iowa boards, but I’m not sure Dresser brings in AJ without Angelo being part of the equation. Just going off Willie’s post on Iowa better pay Angelo or wrestle him. But I know the Ferrari family is tight and if Angelo and AJ can wrestle together, that might be an intriguing opportunity for them

AJ is a hot mess. Now, granted he may have grown up a little bit, but he had the Oklahoma State locker room in shambles. All kinds of shenanigans went on, stuff with girls on campus, to fights, to trying to get John Smith to get teammates removed etc. NOW, MAYBE Perry can help control all of that? IDK, I just think you are signing a deal with the devil to bring him in to ANY program. Just my 2 cents. Angelo WILL start next year for the Hawks, no question, the challenge is, the AD does not want AJ (I am told)

Hawk board is saying we have been in contact with Ferrari
I would be curious to read the thread if you have a link. I just can’t imagine dresser bringing in AJ, unless Angelo would come with and that does not feel remotely possible. Even in that scenario I have a hard time saying I’m excited for AJ despite it being exactly the weight we need.

That’s a big no thanks.

This staff does not want that headache.

I'm not going to lie. If there's anything to these rumors at all, I would have a REALLY hard time supporting a team with AJ on it. I would not want my money paying that ***hat. Saying that, I doubt there's anything more to it than HIM reaching out to schools, so we're said to be "in contact". But, if we're even toying with the idea... I hate it.

They have has to deal with other headaches the last few years. Granted…not to the level AJ has presented to the programs he’s been associated with, but somewhat similar ball parks.
Maybe internally, but not close to the external noise they would have if they brought him in.

Just my opinion

Oh…100% agree. The external noise is what makes AJ’s actions what they are. Still…it’s not like there haven’t been very similar issues a lot closer to home, just kept mostly internal/off social media.

There's no way I am clicking on that link to hear genius takes like David is already enrolled at Penn St.
Come on. They have it all firgured out! Dresser was wearing a Freking Cattle hat, so the Freking family is bankrolling the whole thing. AJ to Ames and we're officially Moo U.

It's next level stuff over there.
