You’re crazy if you don’t think there was a bidding war.
From what I remember, it was mainly just your normal coach/internal person leaving type of thing and working hard to get as many people as possible to go with.
Got it. I was legitimately curious so apologize if I came off as strong. Probably because I’ve heard people talk about Cody like he’s just there sometimes but it’s no coincidence he’s been a staple with Cael and Casey. Willie said before Cody makes sure operationally the program is flawless but obviously that’s not wrestling.
Yeah good point. Implying that there was some friction without providing any details does not provide any meaningful information.
Always cracks me up that Cael was an art major. Cael with his torn up ears in classes with Goth girls and guys and assorted “artistes”
How many lightweight national champs has Cody coached up over the last few years? And, how many have Gilman, Fix, and DT combined? Lots of videos of Cody with a solid sweat on or in workout gear, for not "going" with the guys.
Did Jax commit?
Must have been exciting for them to get a picture with a guy who actually won a match at trials.
A young guy who I pretty much just call my adopted son paid for his PSU masters degree in Art by serving as a green beret.
Congrats on Taylor visiting a recruit that he was going to visit someday anyway?
Just keeping you updated. I’d hate for this thread to fall off the top lol
I had to counter all of the "Y'all's" that have been popping up recently.
I knew that, I was just saying. Two of the toughest guys I know are Arts graduates.
AtownPoke, I am glad you are posting here and I welcome you aboard. My wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary today, so we are 34 and counting, unlike OSU, who is 34 and holding : ) This is as close to smack talk as you will ever get from me, since, as you can see, I'm not very good at it! I am looking forward to the Penn State/OSU rivalry going forward. I think it will be great for all of us college wrestling fans. Hopefully number 35 won't be for many years
Are we going to be able to have a rivalry though? Dresser described orange a few years back and I'm concerned about a team that bathes in it.AtownPoke, I am glad you are posting here and I welcome you aboard.

Congratulations on 34, I am closing in on 35 in 7 weeks, I guess that will make my marriage better than OSU wrestling!AtownPoke, I am glad you are posting here and I welcome you aboard.

Well congrats man. That’s a long time and something I aspire to. My wife and are coming up on our 11th and we’ve been together for 15 now overall. Pretty wild considering it feels like we just left Stillwater. It all moves fast.AtownPoke, I am glad you are posting here and I welcome you aboard.

it's been reported by those in the know that Tom has asked Bobby Telford to make multiple recruiting phone calls daily.
Remember, competition is a two-way street. Taylor also has to compete with Cael, not to mention all the other head coaches in college wrestling. While he's very-well-proven as an amateur wrestler, Taylor is as yet completely unproven as a head coach or, for that matter, as a coach at any level. The major difference between Cael and Taylor is that Cael has demonstrated he's as good a college head coach as he was a college wrestler, and his record as a college wrestler is the all-time best.
He still has a few years to go, but it takes someone beyond driven and focused to achieve the pinnacle of the sport in two different areas of it, in this case as a wrestler and a coach. If he had achieved two golds, he might be able to claim that "best ever" title as well.
Congratulations 86, you must be doing something right as she has not demanded a "coaching change". 😁
