Chittum is a hawk instead of a goofer

Gonna be a hell of a wrestler for them until his body gives up about three years in.
Also, before I get yelled at. I think Chittum is a damn good wrestler and his style is perfect for Iowa. But he’s gonna 20 years old in March and has already had some injury concerns. If he makes it out of there without another major one I would be very surprised.
The Bull may have found his padawan.
Maybe the best light room in the country will rub off on him.
4 in top 9 of flo p4p...they must be cheating the system....where can they get all this schollie $ from
This kid is the real deal. The Minnesota thing man no sense. Iowa definitely does. Great grab for them. They will have a solid chance at third the next few years.
Well, if Jammen(z) wasn’t already at war with the Hawkeyes, Iowa just attacked his fleet at dawn
Jam Takovic is running a Cinnabon in Omaha.
The problem tOSU has is that they have Bouzakis and Mendez both looking to be long term 133s. And then Kilkeary, also potentially a long term 133.
TOSU
133-141-Jesse Mendez
133-141-Nick Bouzakis
165-174-Luke Geog
174-Rocco Welsh
197-Seth Shumate
Heavy-Nick Feldman
Iowa
125-Nate Jesuroga
141-149-Ryder Block
157-165-Aiden Riggins
174-184-Gabe Arnold
197-Kolby Franklin
197-Heavy-Ben Kueter
Which incoming group would you rather have?
Iowa looks good but tOSU high end talent is too good. Jesuroga will be a hammer and if Kueter commits to wrestling he will be great but I’m not sure he does that. The other 4 are good and probably multiple time AA’s but probably not champs. On the OSU side Mendez, Bouzakis, Feldman, and probably Welsh all have the talent to be champions. Who knows if it comes together or not. I think Feldman is the most sure thing out of both classes followed by Mendez and Jesuroga. Both classes are great and it will be interesting to see who can better develop them.

Ohio states east. Kueter playing football hurts imo. Plus I think tOSU has the surest one of them all in Feldman.
I think Mendez, Bouzakis and Feldman are all better than any recruit Iowa has coming in. Block, Riggins and Franklin aren’t close to that level. Arnold has some weird losses. Jesuroga will be a star, though.
i was having a good morning clay
Don't stop celebrating js, he'll have a plethora of big dual wins in his career.
With Kemerer now at Cornell, Iowa should have enough Ensure and Metamucil to keep Chittum going for at least 8 years.
The boards are plagued by hyperbole. Gotta love it. Logan Stieber was only 19 when he entered college. January birthday with maybe a kindergarten gray shirt.
Gotta love 21 year old freshman wrestling in their 1st NCAA's.
Which means I graduated college at the same age as his first NCAA tournament.
Yeah, Logan was a 21 year old RS freshman when he wrestled in his first NCAA. Doesn't really bother me. Then again, maybe this is another first world problem that only affects the top programs.
Some in the general population take 6 years to obtain a 4-year degree. Some take gap years between HS and college. What's the real rush to enter the workforce, when you're going to likely work 35 years?
Alas, I was 22 as a January baby. Mom didn't mind keeping me around the house another year even with four older siblings and three younger sisters at the time.
To get on with the soul sucking and joyless experience of being an adult
Perhaps this reduces the whining our friends from tHR do about Cael only wins because of recruiting 🙄🧐
I’ve never seen tHR whine about “Cael”. In fact, if you use the search feature on their board, I don’t think you’ll get any returns at all on “Cael”.
So 26 or 27 by his senior year. Sounds about average, or even a little young, for Iowa guys.
I doubt it! I didn’t even include all of the recruits either. tOSU also has Kilkeary and Gavin Brown coming in. Iowa has a couple other in state kids I believe. Still 5 kids in the top 50 is a lot of $.
I am not sold on Chittum as a college wrestler. He is like a 20 year old guy that just out physicals alot of his High School opponents, don't think that will be effective against D1 college wrestlers. He was beaten by Rathjen at the U20 WTT, then Rathjen was teched by Garvin,then Garvin was teched by Haines in the finals. So by the Transitive equation Haines would beat Chittum by 30 points!
