How did that "stability" work out for Andrew Long? Just saying, Iowa has issues like any other team but racing fuel on a fire? If anybody can mentor/knows how losing it mentally can happen...it's Terry Brands.

Outworking and breaking their opponent sounds mostly like Dresser as that was back in the day when Iowa was on a different level when it came to conditioning and the difference in attack rate. Zadick, St. John, and Metcalf may have had that mentality as well. Metcalf had a motor and would break opponents, but he was crazy skilled as a technician as well!
Boy after watching that full match, Micic did do a lot of stalling. It seems like he knew if he tied up with DeSanto and held him there, DeSanto doesn't know how to get out of it?
A lot of emotion and energy there from DeSanto. Needs to better harvest it next year
That is why I think DeSanto may struggle against elite wrestlers. If you slow the match down, DeSanto is very beatable. Parker kept the match at a slow pace when he beat DeSanto
He's a perfect fit over there lol
Trying to break someone’s arm because you are losing isn’t a quality id look for in a person.
Makes him even easier to root against. Hope Gomez hammers him this season.

74 and 84 the only soft spots in that lineup.

Get Downey another year at 84 and you guys will be in good shape to get top 4 in the Big Ten!
Is he getting any money to attend? Would think everything was used up already. If he is paying his own, you would think he would get a chunk of what is available the next year, otherwise he would be paying for all 3-4 years there.
I am pretty okay with Iowa never winning another NT. At this point I don't care if Penn State wins 40 in a row. The egos around the sport in the state have been much easier to live with now that clearly the best program in the country is in a different time zone.
Love that Brands is trying to improve on that 3rd place finish at Nationals.
Is this the ISU version of the "right way" posts that Iowa fans used in the past about ISU basketball transfers?
No I genuinely think someone who tried to break a guys arm at Nationals while he was getting dominated is a perfect fit in Iowa City
Would much rather have transfers that had differences with their former coaches, or even ones that were busted for smoking weed and dismissed from the team, than take one that literally tried to break another wrestler’s arm on national TV because he was getting his ass kicked.
But that’s just me.
Happy that a kid with some mental health issues is getting another chance to live out a dream. However, if that crap continues I would hope Brands shows him the door.
