Seems like Brands is finally starting to hit his groove. Brands is 37-19 in his career, a far cry from what his expectations were coming in as a 3 time Iowa big school champion and son of a World Champ and Hawkeye legend. Heck it would have been a disappointment if his name was not Brands. He wrestled the tourney of his life to get 5th. He realistically lacks the offense necessary to jump levels and will only go down from where he was. Assad has been a bigger disappointment with his Freestyle/Greco accomplishments and being a 2x big school Illinois champion. Assad has struggled to get any offense going in B1G ten matches and has laid Eggs at NCAAs. Iowa has not done well developing guys. It seems they get better quick year 1 but then that is all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, he was 93rd on Flo's Big Board as a senior. https://www.flowrestling.org/rankings/6031406-class-of-2018-big-board/28106-final-2018-big-board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. PeanutButter Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Maybe we should entertain a limit on how many transfers any school can net in a single year. Is 2 a good number? It sucks seeing smaller name schools get screwed over year over yead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might want to take their time and visit schools, and restricting them in general sounds wrong. It's their life, they should get education where they choose, and the sport is paying for it. I was bummed when Penn State got Nagao, Messenbrink, Truax, but it is what it is my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the case, there aren't too many people arguing against some way to regulate NIL in all college sports. What that looks like is the tough part. Of course, teams with big money are fine with it because they can make their teams stronger by filling roster holes with kids from mid and lower level teams. It's happening in all sports... Men's basketball has seen a lot of guys moving around as well. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Perhaps the way to limit transfers would be any transfer counts as 1 toward the 9.9 scholarships, whether they get scholarship money or not. Not sure if that would help or hurt smaller schools… a lot of moving parts to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknGold Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Some of you want to prohibit students from going to the school of their choice because your feelings got hurt? Just sounds wrong. Students should get an education wherever they want and too bad if it makes another team better. They earned the right to choose. It's their education, scholarship, future, etc. I wasn't happy when Nagao, Truax, Mesenbrink all chose PSU, but I never cried for a rule change. That's just sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
