How about Brent Metcalf? Hawkeye legend, loved just as much by Iowa fans, 3x NCAA champ, World gold medalist, currently coaching at the college level. Why wouldn't he be a more logical choice than Spencer?

Yes, I am aware of that. Howard is an example of a blue chipper who has yet to live up to the hype, largely due to his injury problems.

I don't think he has. I think Iowa fans are just so in love with Spencer that they can't see any of the other logical choices.

From reading Iowa message boards its seems like most Hawkeye fans favor Spencer Lee to be the Iowa Head Coach once Tommy B hangs 'em up. I get Spencer is great and all, has his own "Spencer Lee" tab on the Iowa wrestling webpage, but he's still a college student who is only now going into his final year. He's a 25 year old kid who I think still plans on competing for Olympic gold and World medals, if his body isn't completely spent from college wrestling. Iowa has such a rich history of wrestlers who are at the same level as Spencer in terms of NCAA accolades, have Olympic and World level medals, and actual high school or college coaching experience. Why wouldn't one of those guys be the front runner rather than Spencer? As a Penn State fan, even during the David Taylor years and complete and utter lovefest with the Magic Man, I can't recall Penn State fans clamoring for DT to be Cael's successor while he was still in college. Granted now that Taylor is almost a decade removed from college, a multiple time World champion and Olympic Gold medalist the talk of him coaching seems much more reasonable...

How good is he expected to be? Is this the next Robbie Howard or Zain Retherford? Or perhaps a Nick Lee?

Somehow I received an email for this game which promised I could play as Yianni. I tried it...and it is comically bad. So bad it's worth a try LOL https://fantasyfightleague.live/wrestling22/play?token=&utm_source=Clean+List&utm_campaign=6a705e369f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_10_13_06_42_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1ae6f1f3dd-6a705e369f-472473812

I think Penn State wins the team title this year comfortably. Iowa will take second.

Glad to see you all on the other side...now let's talk wrestling!
