Recruits & Transfers

I'm not aware that the Cyclones are pursuing AJ Ferrari (197) in any way (and I hope not), so not sure why he is even being mentioned.

The recent news is that Angelo Ferrari (165) is considering ISU.

I think some people are under the assumption that Angelo and AJ are a package deal. No idea if that is or is not the case, but I'm sure there are a couple guys on here that could provide a little insight on that.

Since it is a hypothetical lineup, I just decided to include all the Ferrari's for sh*ts and giggles. Obviously a lot will depend on how AJ's court case plays out for if he ever wrestles in college again.
 
I think that Nate (and maybe a little less so David) is the perfect example of a guy who is just nasty on the mat, but a real gem when he steps outside of the circle. I don't believe that he was ever going to be a liability for the team in any way, and he bled Cardinal and Gold. Always seemed like a great guy, but I never stepped inside the circle with him. Opinions may be different with those that did.

I have talked to Nate a few times and there is not a nicer man to talk to. David is a real good dude too.

Willie just put out his updated crystal ball on Rokfin. Has Iowa State as the biggest team mover from his initial list and up to 5th. He has us with 4 AAs (141, 165, 184, 197) and then 3 more BR (125, 149, Hwt), but no champs.

I’ve had the same experience. Little JM has has multiple good interactions with David as well. My sense from talking to Nate is that they (mostly David) makes it a priority to have good interactions with kids. As a dad, this is really awesome.

I think so too, but a blood round season would still be a great tournament/year from him as a true freshman. My expectations have changed, but at the start of the year I think I had BR as a best case scenario for Paniro

He bullies guys off his feet. I think if he keeps the hammer down, he will be up there. I mean, he’s already beaten one of the head honchos. And it wasn’t fluky

Paniro can go with anyone on his feet, but I still have some concerns about his mat wrestling. He hasn't ridden anyone this year or really tried to, and he almost gave up the 1:00 riding time to Murin (Gomez just cut him right away). If he can improve mat wrestling, that would greatly increase my confidence in him being a surefire AA

AJ i bet goes MMA...if I was a betting man instead I just funnel all my funds into the CRTC thanks to @buf87
Didn't AJ already sign with WWE, or was that just speculation? I just get the impression he would fit better in the 'fake' world than actually getting punched in the face.

Pretty sure he's too busy paying a defense attorney to keep him out of jail. As for a hypothetical lineup I also thought he was moving up to Hwt and was talking smack towards Gable S.
