pure speculation on this, but AOC was the same size as Nelson at the time and they might not have seen a spot for him. Frustrating, if true. AOC was apparently very interested in the hawks.

I heard from a guy wearing an Iowa shirt that Spencer Lee is taking over Iowa football
Incredibly frustrating if true.
If you had said Kemerer (who was at the same weight), that would've been more understandable.
IIRC Marinelli also started at 157. Clearly one of those two had to move up, and a 3rd high-end guy with multiple overlap years might not have been a priority.
also lugo as a transfer. it's not the most indefensible move, but it definitely didn't work out.
Lol you're 2 weeks late idiot I already reported that
I lost a lot of room to talk when I heard @vhsalum say Cael said thanks but no thanks to Keegan
Scott would be a great hire for PSU. Fits in perfectly with Kennedy leaving and no better place to rehab your image than at PSU. I assume Scott still wants to be head coach at a major program so coming to PSU and learning from the best while winning a few team titles should set him up well to coach a big program again. I wonder if he regrets leaving UNC?
That's puzzling. I wonder what it was about KOT's game Cael didn't like? They seem like a match made in heaven to me. DT was my comparison for KOT as a prospect.
Lugo announced his transfer after O'Connor's HS SR season ended. Presumably O'Connor had conmiitted to UNC long before Lugo became a factor.
just keeping you on your toes
Is that a mathematical top 10-ish number or a Rutgres top 10-ish number?
Only thing I can think of: if he saw O'Toole as a 174. We landed Carter the year before.
If a coach comes in and learns many of Cael’s ways and soon leaves to compete against PSU using Cael’s ways, then maybe that would NOT be a great hire for PSU? 🧐
This is why I'll quit working many years before my last day. 😉
Re: Dake
I hope he takes his sweet time making any big decisions. He has had a lot happen this spring that can mess with your head.
If he wants to coach he will be able too at some point

Fair enough. Just seems like other than Casey and Cody guys with PSU ties are going to soon start branching out throughout the coaching ranks. I think Scott is a really good coach and would fill a need at PSU right now. I would also love to see Nolf get that job
I’ll give Oklahoma State credit. They’re shooting their shot.
College wrestling would be a lot more competitive if more schools did that.
Saban's misfit toys haven't hurt Alabama yet, and it looks like none will except maybe Sark at Texas.
Alabama has profited massively and disproportionately from that arrangement.
Not including Smart because he was a normal rise thru the ranks guy.
Well considering that everybody beats him in the room, the applicant pool is gonna be pretty deep.
Cael had this planned… switching out NLWC guys with younger guys. It’s time to turn the page. The next wave is coming. Gilman is out. Kennedy is out and if he hires Scott will that mean Jax is on the way? And Bo?
Gilman makes a lot of sense. His presence in the PSU room has been cited as a huge positive by so many guys, and not just lightweights. Wouldn't have guessed at the time that the intense 125er at Iowa jumping into other teams' huddles was coaching material.
It's testimony not only to DT's reputation but to how good the PSU/NLWC room is that OSU hired a guy with zero D1 coaching credentials and his second hire is another guy with zero D1 coaching credentials, and there's practically no skepticism about whether it will all work out. DT likely has a lot of good options but picking Gilman speaks well of him.

It does have the benefit of preventing the company-wide email where the bitter employee airs all their grievances from their miserable career : )
They will love him in like 2 weeks. I don't think it took me that long, and I despised him at Iowa.
Not gonna lie, it makes me wanna throw up a little.
Who is the money behind all of this?
I personally like seeing USA Wrestling's best looking like rock stars.

Watch David's Introductory news conference to be held Friday 10:30 am local time (11:30 am Eastern time) at this link:
Weird enough seeing them there on the tarmac but it'll be weirder seeing DT in orange and black tomorrow.
So true …. For me it’s going to be odd not ever seeing David in the crowd at Rec Hall
I was thinking it would have been cool if DT demanded a color change in his contract.
Reminds me a bit of a promotional photo for The Expendables!
If anyone wants to run by the State College Goodwill store those 3 guys and their families probably dropped of about 40 garbage bags full of PSU wrestling clothes. 😁😫😩😢
Maybe it’s just me but I wanted us to continue to win by 100
