Perry 1,189 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 Both solid programs that do a lot for their guys and are pretty comparable to one another imo 1 herma48852 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinnum 796 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 Both programs get wrestlers who are already developed. They polish the developed wrestlers. 3 silver, krippler and herma48852 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molsen 124 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 Iowa turned a guy, who was only a state runner up his senior year, into a 2 time ncaa champion, with 2 more years to go. How can you even compare the two. 6 1 10 vsnej, Sublime607, PSUMike and 14 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goheels1812 505 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 I know this isn’t Iowa or Ohio State, but Pat Popolizio does a phenomenal job developing wrestlers. And I’m far from an N.C. State fan. The best example is Michael Macchiavello. He went from being a 1 time high school state champion in North Carolina, to a losing season his true freshman year, to a ~.500 record his true sophomore year, to being a national champion his senior year. 5 Creek chub, Housebuye, krippler and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WF89 109 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 I’d give Iowa (Brands) the edge over Ohio State (Ryan) Ohio State seems to start with better recruits so less development is required though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 3,818 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 The past several years Ohio St has objectively better results, but Iowa's results should be better the next two years for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with this. Until now, tOSU has had better recruits compared to Iowa the last 5 years. I would say overall, Iowa is better. TOSU has had some great freshman campaigns that were limping across the line as seniors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerlockthree 2,039 Report post Posted December 25, 2019 OMG its not even close. Iowa by a mile. tOSU outrecruits them badly, and then their studs get beat because they have really fixable holes in their style. Tom Ryan had two freshmen NCAA champs not repeat in 6 tries. 1 krippler reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VakAttack 2,701 Report post Posted December 26, 2019 Pretty much what's stated in the thread. Iowa is better at developing, but Ryan and Co. are better at a.more.important skill. The Brands' skill in development is not as valuable in.a world where.many wrestlers are coming to college more developed.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 3 BigTimeFan, cjc007 and wamba reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creek chub 175 Report post Posted December 27, 2019 Not Iowa or Ohio state answer but ditto on the nc state answer. Pop does an amazing job for the pack and that’s great for the acc even though it chaps me when they beat VT. VT has also done a great job of wrestler development such as all Americans who weren’t high school studs like penny, haught, Yates and ty walz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God spends a lot of time working out who he wants to win and lose. The government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. But ... Ok I got that out of my system.

And one Tom Ryan. I think very highly of Cael Sanderson, Tom Brands and John Smith- they're all Hall of Famers, but I wouldn't trade our coach for any of them. He knows how to build a program; how to sustain it, and how to rebound if things don't go his way. (Welcome, J'den Cox.) I love his faith- a very unpopular topic in today's agnostic society. He's endured tragedy, and his faith has sustained him and his family. Ask any of his wrestlers what they think of him. Ask me...a physically broken down older guy who Tom offered to help without even knowing me. 2 Mphillips and HurricaneWrestling2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
