Take a look at his twitter if you want to see what his focus is I'm aware of the situation and meant no offense. I've always been a fan of J-Rent and hope to see him on a D1 roster in the future. I just meant that he would have been included on that list of recent transfers, had it not been for outside/personal factors. 1 nhs67 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Rent initially committed to the Hawks, so it's a little different. But either way, the point is valid, Iowa has benefited greatly from transfers.

steamboat_charlie v2 723 Report post Posted November 7 You know what... fair play to Brands. For someone that's so seemingly old school, he's been the most successful early adapter of the "portal era." I would not have guessed that a few years ago. Iowa was already looking great next year... now they could be: 125) Lee 133) Teasdale 141) DeSanto 149) Eierman 157) Young 165) Marinelli / Brands 174) Kemerer / Brands 184) Assad / Brands 197) Warner 285) Cassioppi Woof. That is a salty lineup. 5 MSU158, Nicky_Pipes, uncle bernard and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amiright? A bit ironic considering how much Iowa fans complain about transfers and recruiting by other teams. I doubt many of those complainers will be ranting against Eireman coming to Carver.

Right now? Its dog crap and it has been for the last 10 years or so. I keep hearing that its coming back with the next middle school class, but then the kids get in high school and few compete on the national stage.

wrestlingnerd 2,367 Report post Posted November 7 Who cares? A transfer is still a student-athlete. If Eierman wins an NCAA title for Iowa or helps Iowa win a title as a team, neither is less valuable because Eierman previously wrestled at Mizzou.

That is right, but this is relevant to the debate in which state produces the best wrestlers. The fact that a powerhouse like Iowa is primarily powered by Pennsylvania guys is notable.

The fact that a powerhouse like Iowa is primarily powered by Pennsylvania guys is notable. According to Statista.com US High School wrestling participation has dropped 9.3% from 2009-2010 to the 2018-2019 season even with a significant increase in female participation. According to FLO(2015-2016 season), PA had the 6th highest amount of wrestlers competing in High School, while Iowa is 17. That doesn't even account for the significant difference in population for each state. Another interesting tidbit is that 30 of the 50 states have decreased in numbers since 2006-2007. Of the 20 that increased most are extremely minimal excepting a hand full, including PA. Meanwhile Iowa participation dropped 11%(7313 to 6512). States that have increased since 2006: Texas 6674 to 11327-----by far the largest increase in both raw numbers and percentage(excluding 0-25 which was DC). PA 8946 to 9780 for an increase of 9.3%. So they coincidentally increased the exact percentage the entire country decreased. NJ 8933 to 9070 FL 8269 to 8297 GA 7275 to 8171 MN 7957 to 8135 CO 4828 to 5052 SC 4114 to 4763 TN 3739 to 3904 OK 2500 to 3785 UT 2995 to 3421 Al 1940 to 2719 NV 2240 to 2420 ID 2325 to 2392 LA 1224 to 1725 NM 1488 to 1608 AK 126 to 1469 WY 1078 to 1153 AR 0 to 839 DC 0 to 25 Missisippi is the only state that doesn't sponsor wrestling but still listed 19 and then 25.

MSU158 1,302 Report post Posted November 7 27 minutes ago, unbiased said: Ever meet an Iowan. Pretty much every "educated" Iowa wrestling fan knows PA is where you need to go to get top HS talent. Even HR has almost unanimously come around to that fact. Some may still argue the "per capita" argument, but they won't deny that PA has an overwhelming amount of DI ready talent and has consistently proven that with AA, Finalist and Champion results. 1 Dondante88 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
