wrestle87 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 11 minutes ago, No BS Fan said: Iowa does have a history of making 141 transfers worse They have a good year, bc they believe in the singlet, but then they break down because that's what happens to every Iowa wrestler after their freshman year. Eierman and Woods both did better than they ever had (finals), but then tanked because...stupid training will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bad take, we've seen a drop off for what seems like every 6th/7th year guy throughout the NCAAs, even PSU with Max Dean. College wrestling is too tough on the body for that long of a period of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliendo, Woods, Desanto, Eierman, Lugo (just off the top of my head) all had their best finishes in black and gold. Hmm, Woods and Eierman concluded their stints with depreciating results. DeSanto came over after his true freshman season, and preceded to get blown past by a guy he was beating when he arrived on campus (RBY), and Caliendo had mixed results and a sweet draw at NCAAs. Lugo is the only one you can reasonably say “developed” on their watch, and we still didn’t get to see his likely disappointing result at NCAAs in ‘20.

Oh, never mind, you're just here to hate and make logically inconsistent statements to get to a predetermined point. "Austin Desanto didn't develop at Iowa" is a wild hater take. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemonster Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 1 hour ago, Idaho said: Yep....i.e. Bailey. Classic poach here.... Allirez brings a national title to a small program - he gets contacted by 3rd party with promises of huge money - leaves small program. You can be all about guys getting their money, that's fine, just remember that in a few years when we see the consequences. It could be he's unhappy with his recent trials performance. It always seemed like Alirez succeeded despite his training situation, not because of it (although I have no idea who he trains with). He might just want to take the next step if he wants to achieve his goals. If he won the Olympic trials, I wonder if we see him moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Greeley for D2 nationals one year, and I'd never been to Colorado, so I didn't realize the...geographical layout. For anyone who's never been, it is exactly as The Duke insinuates; Colorado is basically flat everywhere except for that pesky mountain range. It looks like: /\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ _______________________________/______________________\______________________________________________________ You talking this mountain range?

Eierman would’ve finished in as a finalist regardless of the school, Mizzou or Iowa. The weight had cleared out and him and Lee were clearly the top guys. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
