What is your opinion on these lineups, assuming Arnold redshirts (he should) 174 - Brands/Swafford 184 - Brands/Swafford 197 - Assad Or 174 - Brands/Swafford 184 - Assad 197 - Franklin/Glazier Also, IF Focus does make it in (AJ) and he is HWT (which most agree/assume he would be), who do you take? Two years of him or four years of Kueter (after he redshirts). Franklin is younger and beat Glazier last year but they had a close match and would need to wrestle off again. Nothing guaranteed. Haven't heard much hype on Swafford, he's coming off an injury I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I wonder if there is any possibility of Ayala going 133 and Teske back down to 125 this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Swafford, if you believe PK and Swafford's brother, he will be a high AA contender. "I know actually nothing.

I think Focus can still make 197, but it's better to ignore that subject unless they actually get on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the timing, really. That is the only reason it might be cringe for me, were I an Iowa fan that just lost one of the more recent top recruits because of the rumors and whatnot of them going there. That said, Desanto came in as a total basket case and left in a better mental state than he was prior. Yes, he did... relapse... a time or ten, but he was overall a better version of himself. I personally don't think the two Focus brothers are worth the time and possible disruption. That is why at least one major school told Angelo that the deal was for him and him only. I don't see Anthony starting except for spot starts here and there. AJ would start out the gate if he were to go 197 and then next year HWT for two seasons. Angelo would likely start for them from day one (not this next season but the following) - at 184. If Iowa decides that is the route and the risk is worth the reward, then cool beans. I hope it works out for them. As I have said for Penn State many times: A better Iowa is better for USA Wrestling. "I know actually nothing.

I interpreted the post as saying it was cringy for the Ferrari family, and to me it's just an average Mother's Day post that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was saying Angelo twice intended, or did you accidentally say it twice? Either way, no, he hasn't committed. If you're asking why he's wearing an Iowa singlet, I think that's fairly common on recruiting trip, pretty sure I saw a picture of him in a Rutgers singlet.

I think Tom Brands manages intense personalities well because he has one himself and had a very intense career. Iowa haters will cry, and Cody Chittums feelings will get hurt some more, but I believe Tom is the man for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
