  1. Looks like he’s on his way to Iowa State. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10966495-cody-chittum-flips-commitment-from-iowa-to-iowa-state
  2. I wish he would enter the transfer portal. Cooper is an All American threat if he wasn’t stuck behind another AA.
  3. The duals were Freestyle so it wasn’t a major, but a big win for Fowler either way. I didn’t see the match, but I believe Fowler won 8-1. He had a couple other ranked wins on the weekend too including a pin against the PA state champ. Dropped matches to Manville and Bouzakis. Hopefully Fowler is ranked after the big weekend and the NHSCA championship before that.
  4. How do we know it was Spencer’s decision? It very well could have been Brands or the Iowa medical staff that said he was done.
  5. It does look to be two AQ’s at 149. He has looked really good this year. Hopefully Trae earns that at large bid. https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2023-02-23/ncaa-division-i-wrestling-committee-releases-qualifying-tournament-allocations-2023?amp
  6. Weird. What I was looking at in Intermat said two. I’ll have to do more research.
  7. McDaniel is wrestling for 3rd in the EIWA tournament. The EIWA has 2 AQ’s at 149 pounds. Hopefully Trae can take 3rd and earn an at large bid to join Palmer at the NCAA tournament.
  8. I’d be in again this year.
  9. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cody-chittum-cleveland-tennessee-impresses-094400965.html This article mentions a high ankle sprain.
  10. I’d personally take Coffey over any of them. I think he has the highest ceiling in the state. It’s crazy how athletic he is for a HWT. Whichever college gets him will be really lucky.
  11. People keep saying to give solutions, and some have been thrown out there if you can navigate through all posts about Bowers. Like BQ said, treat it like any other national tournament. Let the kids pay their entry, and then everything else is the parent’s responsibility to take care of their child the way that’s best for them. It’s been posted that just last year the price was significantly less than the $1500 being asked for this year. I didn’t see everyone in an uproar over last year’s price. Maybe the simplest solution is just to copy what worked in the past. No need for change if you have something in place that works.
  12. Exactly! There should NOT be a flat rate. The customers should have the choice to purchase what they want. If the parent doesn’t want to pay for their kid to go a camp, they should not have to. What if they only want to compete in one style? The price should be lower than a kid doing both styles. Why should a parent have to pay for lodging and travel if the parent is going as well? The kid can ride and stay with their parents to save money. I agree completely with what you said. This should be treated like any other national tournament. Just like any other business, you have to listen to your customers or you’ll be out of business. We’re already seeing alternatives pop up like the tournament Bosken posted. Overpricing of a product will lead to someone finding a better alternative.
  13. You guys can get mad at him for the insult all you want, and I’m not necessarily disagreeing. The insults should stay off the message boards. However, I do believe they are justified. $1500 to wrestle in a tournament is insane. The majority of our wrestling families will not be able to afford that. On top of that you’re forcing them to compete at 2 other tournaments before you even allow them the opportunity to compete at Fargo. One of those tournaments being in Georgia requiring a weekend in a hotel. Now you are looking at over $2000 just to wrestle at Fargo. This is just plain wrong. The #1 goal should be growing wrestling in TN, and getting as many of our top kids there as possible. We had some impressive results last year, and had the opportunity to expand on that this year. Charging this much money is not helping to achieve this goal. How can you justify this? How is this the best move for our state? I’m just dumbfounded over this decision. I’ve always thought Bowers took more heat than deserved in past years, but I can’t defend this. I believe it may be time for new leadership with our state’s best interest in mind.
  14. Fisak should be the 1 seed if you ask me!!! In all honesty the seeds actually look really good. I just couldn’t resist throwing that joke out there.
  15. I agree on Uhorchuk. The kid is a stud. With the absence of Trey Bates, he’s my top seed. If Trey is there, then I would go with him over Uhorchuk.
