Interesting. It appeared to me that Keck was always laboring to return to the center between action these last 4 weeks.
If I had to guess, it has something to do with a mental reset to sprint again. Allows him to reset and refocus as he does it fairly regularly
They weren’t there tonight so I didn’t get a chance to ask but I have heard they are planning that. I’ll see them soon.
He has always done that tbf
Gives 110% effort during the matches. Honestly brilliant for him to take a bit of time walking to the center, and with as hard as he goes all 7 minutes I won’t fault him like some other guys that actually gas
FWIW; - found this post, dated today.
Anthony is still around and is still a troublemaker. Why he's still around is absolutely absurd and when he does something worse, it's going to be on Tom.
There is no talk about changes to assistant. Like Wahlberg said - assistants are just extensions of Tom. Period. I think its short-sighted, arrogant, and at this point, just plain negligent, but hey, dems the breaks.
Sorry acuhawk - Tom's practices on a general basis are NOT 45-60 minutes. They are towards the end of the season, and certainly happen earlier than they used to, but that is not the typical practice time. But the practice time isn't really the biggest deal - it's still the intensity. Still long goes, still far more on the "dark places" track.
Now the biggie - yes. Kyven was right. The AD has plans to talk to DT. She is dead serious about WINNING chips again. She's not particularly happy with Tom at the moment. The gambling, the ferrari situation, and this performance - she's holding Tom accountable and will be looking to do what will have us beat carl. She is VERY AWARE of the legacy of Iowa wrestling and how we're falling further behind. Like I told you earlier, she shut down AJ coming in in January - she's not a fan and isn't a fan of Tom's decision to bring the circus in. She also told Tom to get a hold of Terry - it's why he's been "less" in the corners.
Now how this got out? Not sure, but it likely means there are Tom loyalists who wanted it leaked. Because the plan was to wait until after the Olympics to talk to DT. So now that its out, not sure if this will accelerate talks or stop them completely.

Hate to say it, but that sounds pretty gossipy. I wouldn't give a lot of credence.
Context as in, "future head coach of iowa"?
If so, I would hope the wrestling gods put a curse on both programs (UI and PSU)... at least as it pertains to ISU.

I work with a good friend of the Voelkers. Wyatt isn't planning on going up. UNI is going to look hard for a transfer heavy.
Chet Buss quitting just screwed so much up there.
