Super nice wrestling room/training center for wrestlers. Its not too often you see a blessing like this in our sport.

A nice presentation by Tom, I watched him wrestle as a freshman in Carver. Met him 5 years ago, a completely dedicated coach, to all Hawks, Joe Woodell

Looks great, world class. Let’s go get those National Titles now.

Wow! Looks great 👍

Let's Go Hawks

I can just imagine two Iowa guys throwing each other into the weight racks from the mat

Nicely down, Iowa.

😂Joe Melchiore story.......I cant believe ya went there coach! Great work Coach!

B1G Wrestling....can't wait

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears are going to flow in that beautiful new facility for many, many years to come. (Coach Brands looks like he can still lace ‘em up and go if necessary!) Go Hawks from this Buckeye Fan who admires the legendary history and style of the Hawkeyes!) 😃👍

I wonder if the men and women will ever practice at the same time? Or even practice with one another in a combined workout? That would be great for both teams and with 6 mats they have the space to get 2 full teams on ther.

Facilities are good but that was before NIL. The “arms race” for the biggest and best facilities across all sports was the rage 5-10 years ago……need to couple with a robust NIL to make the program attract top talent. Iowa needs to build their NIL partners to grow that resource pool to compete for top talent.

More time showing off weight room etc. I saw one about a team out east & it was impressive. They aren't even a top 15 team.

I guess you earn a new facility for finishing 5th at nationals. ???

Damn Lees sister is stacked

Badass

Interviewer: hey let's talk about the new facility. Brands: facilities don't mean crap. People are what matters. Interviewer: okay thank you for your time and not talking about the new facility

Is nobody else worried about the mats being right beside the weight room with no barrier? Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Someone could easily be driven off the mat into weight racks.

6 Full Mats!! Only 10 guys on a varsity team. Wow. A better walk through would have been nice!!

Time to win championships?

Nice facility. Too bad you have Brands as a head coach. Iowa needs a big change. Down too long

Time to win championships hawks ?

is there a sauna? we need saunas

Roar Lions Roar!

So this is where Brands will run down his wrestlers and get them tired lethargic for March.

Rumor is they gotta split it 50/50 with the women’s program and the women’s program didn’t do any of the leg work.

I’m glad to see a wrestling program get attention, but this place looks underwhelming. I guess that’s fitting to the university

Wasnt much of a tour

Penn State owns this guy.

IOWA HAWKS CHAMPS... what does that even mean? Wrestle Town , USA? Riiiiiiiiight. Kind of a disappointing clip but with the new facility maybe they'll grow their own athletes instead of recruit?

No windows place sucks

what an ugly waste of money

They could have 47 of these buildings but it won’t change the fact wrestling in Iowa is being taught suited for 1985. From the first sentence of this content, Tom is hardly EVER in a good mood and seems to almost justify an old style approach to a sport that he is clearly 20 years behind, in regard to his training regimen. The wrestling room ITSELF fits Tom to a tee, it’s dark with no light in sight. His biggest competition just got their best ON PAPER recruiting class ever, and Tom doesn’t know how to close that 100+ point team score gap.

Nice facility. Too bad you have Brands as a head coach. Iowa needs a big change. Down too long
