Hawks -- enjoy these years.

[TedKumsher]

I say the Hawks lucked out. They got to combine 2 schools' recruits into 1 awesome team. I'd say maybe I'm slightly jealous.:skeptical: <- (closest I could come to a jealous smiley)

But whatever. We're still amazing with such a young team. Let's fill it out with a few more amazing recruits!

 

[isugcs]

I never wrestled in school, nor watched a match of wrestling before the ISU-UI meet earlier this year. Sanderson is what makes me watch, I think he will extend his legacy here much beyond what it already is and it will be fun to watch.

Enter SH for the rebuttal:

3...2...1...

 

[TedKumsher]

Anyone think I could have worked in the word "amazing" a couple more times?

They need Va Tech to wrestle for them, and past Cyclone greats to coach them.

i would much rather that dan gable no longer have any association with us. watching the finals of midlands last night, when they were interviewing him, he kept referring to iowa as we, and was constantly coaching the iowa wrestler during his match-much the same as he did when he was an "announcer" on iptv. i used to idolize him when i was a kid, now i think he is a classless piece of ****

I wish ISU could get some reliable backups. If any of our guys would get hurt we would be in a big hole. Knock on wood that everybody stays healthy.

 

[DClone]

Which wrestlers for Iowa followed Brands from Virginia Tech?

 

[CYVADER]

joe slaton, jay borschell, brent metcalf, dan leclere-all of whom were in the finals at midlands, and i think the 5th is h.t. leet?

 

[DClone]

So ISU uses no transfers in their starting lineup and almost one-half of Iowa's starters are transfers. The question is, can Brands equal this type of recruiting when he is not combining recruits from two different universities? How did Iowa do with signings in November, and how do people on this board feel about his ability to recruit in the future?

he recruited all of those guys to virginia tech-not a well known wrestling institution, and they all transferred to iowa when he left because they wanted to be coached by him. i would say the guy is a phenomenal recruiter. kids want to be coached by him if for nothing more then the attitude.

Considering the kids that transferred were Brands' recruits, yes, he can get that talent.

 

[cloneu]

He will continue to get great recruits. To get guys from Iowa to go go to Virginia to wrestle when they have 3 good instate schools to go to, that is impressive. I only see Iowa getting better in the future.

 

[CTTB78]

I see Iowa State only getting better in the future too. I get the feeling that some are willing to hand the title to Iowa after the Midlands showing. I think Minnesota and Iowa State will having something to say about that before this season is over. Cael and J will have them just as ready as the Headbutter will.

I noticed that too. We won Midlands last year and didn't win the title. In March, that win means squat.

 

[DClone]

Anyone remember the final scoring in last years Midlands? How many finalists did ISU have?

We had 154 points, and I think we had 4 finalists.

 

[JonDMiller]

Yup. Won by 47.5. Iowa's margin this year was 46, with 185 points. ISU had one title winner last year.

 

[isuno1fan]

Not taking anything away from the 'Clones and Cael, but the truth is we need to be more offensive and aggressive on the mat. We rarely win with bonus points and it is because we wrestle defensively. Minnesota does the same. Very frustrating to watch when you go up against a team like Iowa because they dictate the pace in a match and bring it at you.

This is exactley what I told IPTV after the ISU/Iowa match.
What a JERK!!!!!
