Homegrown is still a thing... but not as much of a thing as it used to be. With the amount of travel these kids do with wrestling they are able to see schools, meet people, go to camps under coaches, etc. A lot kids do not want to stay home no matter what, so it's not always an indication of the program.

Helps a lot that Minnesota and Wisconsin have tuition reciprocity. They can really be treated like in-state recruits financially.

"on a visit with RU wrestling" Just seems serious with him taking a picture in a singlet. Or is it that typical for a recruiting visit? Wouldn't make sense from a competitive perspective, they need to rebuild their roster Hope Iowa doesn't get screwed after they stood up for the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm big on Ethan Riddle at 174. He has a really good improvement curve over the last year. When Millard committed, he said he would probably be 157 or maybe 165 if he grows. Lyden has battled injuries, so hard to say where he'll be when and if healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknGold Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Well that was eventful. Now that Ferrari and Chittum are gone it would be nice to see Iowa get back on the horse and move in a positive direction. Iowa lost 2 top 25 recruits this week in their incoming class, and they only have 2 commits in 2024. They could use a late 2023 pickup, maybe 2. And they can easily add 4-6 more recruits in the 2024 class. There is room for more big name commits, especially after recent events. There is work to be done.

Being a DI athlete is a grind both physically and mentally, I am curious as to how the human body will hold up to these 2 grueling sports after an extended period of time, I wish this young man the best of luck and hope he is able to pull this off.

I agree. add the high academic standards expected from NU and it will be a tough but very rewarding journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Hawkeyes Ferrari is going to end up at Iowa in my opinion. NO WAY Brands let's Chittum walk due to Anthony if he didn't think he was getting little bro. That is my two cents anyway....

That would cause a stir on the internet and everyone would say Chittum was right... Besides, his blonde hair matches the black n gold singlet, who could pass on such an opportunity?

Why would you hope that? The best thing that could happen to the Ferrari and any program silly enough to land them is if they are separated giving them a chance to grow up and be away from the Sr at least 50% to 67% of the time.
