    Brands want Angelo (and are hoping Aj can behave for a bit) because they are so desperate to compete with Cael. Brands look desperate. Cael would never recruit or court the Ferraris. Cael is class personified.

    I coached hs lacrosse for 15 years. A few times we lost in the playoffs to a team with a culture that allowed kids like Aj to act as they pleased. Postgame, I'd say the same thing: "I'd rather lose with you guys than win a championship with those kids." Brands and Iowa has more to lose than the matches they might win with the Ferraris. Reputation, legacy, control of his room, respect of his former, current, and prospective wrestlers. As a coach, i would touch anyone in that family with a 10' pole. Cancer to team cohesion

    After the last few years with AJ , you'd think he have some contrition. But no such luck. He's obviously not emotional issues. Under NO circumstance would I have him on my team. It's just a matter of time till the next incident no matter how many times he "apologizes". WE ARE!!

    I noticed the video was cut not showing the Hawkeye wrestler throwing the first punch?

    I want to start out first by saying, I am a wrestling fan. I am not an “ Iowa fan” but I follow Iowa because they are a great program and I love wrestling. I also need to say, I am a Penn State fan, because I love wrestling and I have son’s that attend that university. All that being said, the Ferrari’s are not good for the sport of wrestling. They are a representation of what is wrong with this WORLD. They care about themselves and no one else, which does not represent team or the sport.I hate this for the kids that are at Iowa, they did not go there for this circus. Iowa has a history of great wrestling. I hope the AD steps in and directs this circus to beat feet out of town.

    Look, I'm a Hawkeye Wrestling fan - period. Right now, the Hawkeyes don't have a leg on which to stand bc they are not performing. Brands has had an issue with his lineup bc he's not delivering up to their potential. Iowa has a fan base to begin with bc of its tradition Gable built - the Iowa style and Winning. They aren't showing either as of late, and if getting back on track means strengthening the lineup with guys who are hungry and change, despite their antics, then so be it. Not proud of AJs bs, but if the team wants to win, they will do what they have to do in order to accomplish that. They can work on AJ, and he can help us in the lineup.

    A couple points I’d like to make, give the Brands credit for taking a shot at some rough characters and maybe try to help, you can’t name another program that does this. This is the Conor mcgregor nonsense that has bled into the wrestling scene that some people have said it’s good for wrestling it grows the sport, I say hogwash. Now some of these young men like aj think they’re going to be some big super star and build a brand and attention is money, but this is a bad look on the sport. I hope the brands cut the losses and get rid of this nut job self centered family and just take a bad season.

      “Hogwash”, you old heads like to gatekeep like it’s a good old boys club of traditions.. in reality though, it’s a sport and business, it NEEDS to be entertaining to grow and exist.. entertainment makes it fun and shows more character and personality, rather than NPCs pretending to be virtuous and perfect role models for kids, when in reality that’s the parents jobs, not some stranger lol

      @@michaelnorth2055 wrestling is a niche and complex sport, nobody watches it for the straight entertainment value. It’s not gonna grow like this.

    If things go wrong it could cost Brands his job but nothing will destroy the Iowa wrestling program. Largest fan base in the country plus big funding. People will want to wrestle there, Brands or not, Ferrari or not. Doesn't matter. And the Ferrari upside is big. He's a national champion with 3 years of eligibility and his little brother is the #1 recruit in the country. Lastly, some people actually root for one like this to turn their life around. Not all of us want to see a guy with so much talent go to jail

    It is a dysfunctional program, for sure. Very easy to root against.

    It was speculated that Cody Chittum left Iowa (or de committed), due to their recruitment of the Ferrari brothers.
    Now this.
    They are excellent wrestlers and I know nothing of the antics of the others, but I find it impossible to justify signing AJ at this point, to any college program.

    The kids are a problem! I don’t care how talented you are if you are a problem you are not worth the risk. If Tom cares more about a win than the bigger picture he has his priorities mixed up and it might cost the entire program.

    Angelo tossed Penn States hat in the trash. We don't want him & neither does Chael. The Ferarri name is synonymous with poison. 8d lise with a wrestler who wrestles with class & heart then a jackass who is a me me me guy
