wrestling: any inside on Downey?


What our chances are? That is not really the correct question. Just because Downey listed schools he is interested in, does not mean that the schools are interested in him.
I have stated multiple times that I hope RU does not let this cancer anywhere near New Brunswick. This nut job is not worth the trouble(plus he is only eligible for the 2nd semester). Hope the coaches take a pass.

I would doubt that he would mention RU unless the coaches have shown interest. The same goes with the other schools mentioned. I am not saying that we would take him but we must have had conversations with him.

I will strongly disagree with you. He released these 4 schools over two weeks ago. Only one coaching staff has contacted Iowa State to discuss Downey and that was Iowa.

Sounds like you have some good information, thanks.

I had felt the same way, but there is too much RU stuff on twitter. We are definitely in contact. I don't really care what some reporter said. He is tweeting at several RU guys (including a very interesting "like" I saw).

Well if it's on Twitter it must be true!! [laughing]:pimp:
 
Can't say I've read a lot of good on him but I'll trust the coaches. I hope Iowa makes him an offer he can't refuse.

I don't know why people continue to post this as most news breaks on Twitter 1st. It's 2017 not 1997.

Why would Tom Brands want him? If he isn't as much of a head ache to one of the best coaches in the country why would he be for us. I'm torn I guess I just want some good news for once.

Because Iowa is a lot closer to a top 3 finish at nationals than us.

Iowa wants him b/c they firmly believe Downey has a real shot at winning the nationals or coming very close to it.
 
I think every coach knows he has a shot at winning it all but he also has just as much chance of embarrassing the school with tweets or his craziness. With that being said I think I would still do it because I think I would sell my soul to see the Block R singlet in the Nat Finals.

This is the guy who post sex tape on Twitter against a girls wishes, talks about how great he is not stop, gotten kicked off both D1 teams he been on, served time in prison, is going to think twice about hyping himself on twitter?

Also the guy who has a real shot at being a champ

I thinks the odds are higher he gets kicked off the team then he wins a championship. The two seasons he been at D1 schools he been tossed before the end of the season I don't see how people think this time is going to be any better. If you read anything he or his dad says you ca tell he hasn't gown up a bit. I am all for second chances but if prison and getting kicked out of two programs didn't teach him a lesson why do you think another transfer will? You have to be pretty desperate to want this train wreck on your team.
