Hopefully we get the recruiting thing figured out. Love our staff and how they can coach but seems like Metcalf and St. John may be struggling a bit. They are still young but hopefully they figure it out soon.
Class of 2021

Facundo just needs to hurry up and announce he's coming to Iowa State so we can all breath and sigh of relief.
I'm not really in the know on recruiting but it certainly sounds like it needs to improve.
This reminds me of Hoibergs recruiting in basketball his first several years. He missed on his big targets a lot but he got good transfers to help fill some of the holes from missing on high school recruits. I'm sure Dresser will take a similar approach if needed.
I know this isn't a fair comparison.

Dresser has done pretty well with transfers. Miklus was obviously huge. Small will be a very good backup. Mackall has really shored up 125.
Maybe he can get in on someone this year too.
You had better prepare yourself to be disappointed every few years. Wrestling isn't like football and when a school doesn't have a ton of scholarships to give they aren't going to get a lot of top level guys. Heck, UNI will out recruit Iowa & OSU (both of them) every few years when they get a top 10 class and the schools listed might be light on schollys that particular year. Let the results speak for them selves as the seasons play out. BTW, Schwab is a good coach and is producing results (i.e. Foster). It's not like they have fewer scholarships than all of the other top programs.
Caleb Rathjen committing tonight... any hope for us here? Lists Iowa, ISU, UNI, North Carolina, Purdue and South Dakota State as finalists.
Would be a good fit if he thinks he’s a 149/157 in college. We need some good recruiting news.
Not overly confident about Rathjen. Have a feeling TOE might be the destination, but hope I’m wrong
I don't feel good about our chances with Rathjen, either.
Somethings gotta change. Not sure if it’s gonna take a staff shake up, the way we’re recruiting, or what, but we can’t keep losing out on these top guys if we want to become a top 5-10 program again
So the longer Facundo waits the more I think we aren’t getting him, if we also lose Ayala we are in for a long recruiting drought. I keep wondering that we must have a ton of money wrapped up with all our current wrestlers, or we just aren’t offering enough.... I just want to hear someone pick us soon
