Cue Hawk fans

This would not be the good. If this were to happen its not hard to see a steady flow of talent wanting to work with those guys just as it happened here. And the dynasty just took a big hit.
This was always how the domination was going to start to deteriorate. The apprentice rockstars branching out and by default attracting kids that would have gone to PSU. We will probably never again see the amount of wrestling talent concentrated in one place. From the freshman up to the NLWC roster and coaching staff.
 
What happens to M2 training center. ? Maybe Taylor continues to be affiliated with it and comes in once a month to keep his face connected. Someone like Nolf becomes more active in the day to day operation. Not sure of NCAA rules of having a "satellite" youth facility.

This will make OKSU the favorites for 2nd place for years to come but I seriously doubt top talent will want to go to Stillwater when Cael and PSU come calling. If you have a chance to learn drums from Neal Peart or Alex Van Halen you're going with Neil but Van Halen is an unbelievably great 2nd choice.

I can't imagine they'll let him split his concentration between two jobs.

As a fan and former wrestler, my top priority with regards to any big event such as we saw today is whatever is best for strengthening and growing the sport. I believe that this move by OSU and DT will be positive for college wrestling. I’ll still be rabidly rooting for PSU, but any time a deal is on the table that will make the competition more exciting, I’ll support it.

Just change it to N2 - Nolf and Nickal! I think the guys who are training there will be completely satisfied.

He is by rule not allowed to have anything to do with it

Nickal probably can't with his UFC contract.

I was told 2 weeks ago that M2 would be moving to a new location.

The room depth will probably be impacted the most. Taylor is every bit the drawl Cael was just not in the same talent area. But the advantage Taylor has is his Oh & Pa connections. The first two years of his coaching career could net him the top 2 recruits in the country.

Please tell us this was intentional!

That's right buddy you show that turd who's boss! (Not intentional, but funny)
 
15 days ago, DT thought he was two tough wins away from Paris.

Stop talking out of your ass. You gossip worse than a schoolgirl.
If you had a clue u wouldn't be responding to my post and you'd be the one posting about it.

LMFAO.

College sports gossip is miles from my radar.
Light years.

You can keep your monopoly on immature gossiping. I'm too busy with better things to do with my time.
 
No. When people count us out we surprise people.
Iowa will be a better team than OK State forever.
Probably not.
Without a perennial top 2 team Iowa has typically finished at least 2 spots behind PSU's championship teams. With Taylor at a program every bit as blue blood as Iowa, Iowa is looking at a regular 4th place or below finish.
No trophy for you.

So what has been your best accomplishment in life the past 20 years?

You break some sports gossip on a message board?

Here. Here's a cookie. Nice life, loser.

Keep sniffing those jocks.

Keep reading my posts for some good informational values. Perhaps you'll be able to use them on jeopardy someday.
 
I wouldn't be shocked if this sets a domino effect. Precedent is set now. If Iowa/Ohio State fall behind, I can see Burroughs/Dake getting calls.
If Nebraska lets Burroughs go anywhere other than Lincoln the Cornhuskers deserve to be forever mediocre. After this Olympic cycle Iowa probably transitions to Spencer. Dake to Ohio State is interesting, but I have to believe they wait one more cycle and hire Snyder. Kellie Grey keeps sending Megan Dake news flyers depicting the deteriorating schools and neighborhoods surrounding Ithaca NY.
 
This is exciting but nothing is assured. College sports is a very complicated endeavor these days especially in sport where ships are limited and injuries frequent. Just throwing money around doesn’t assure anything.

DT and staff will have their work cut out for them. The immediate pressure will be immense. In the end, nothing has changed in HV other than a HS training center will shut down. The PSU seed has been planted in Stillwater. But nothing has happened to PSU and its program. Just more competition is good.

Cael has planned for this and is ready. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was very involved in the process. Stillwater is HV2 now.

OK State just became my 2nd favorite program. I'll be rooting for the pokes except when they face PSU.

Not worried in the least about it affecting us - Cael takes care of business by doing what makes PSU successful, not by worrying about the competition. There are plenty of great wrestlers out there that don't wrestle for PSU and now OK State will get more of them. All good.
 
I never in my worst nightmares imagined PSU losing DT to Okie State!

Money talks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the staff gone yet? How long does Coleman have? Who sits 2nd chair to DT?

Who follows DT to Okie State ( coaches / RTC team / M2 kids )??!??

Which school will be negatively impacted the most? Iowa? Ohio St? Iowa St? Mich? PSU?

NIL still exists - Okie State has some ultra rich boosters !!!

Should I learn the Okie State fight song now? Pew Pew Pew
 
While I didn't think it would happen, I could certainly imagine DT to OSU once he lost at OTT. The timing of Smith's retirement was just right for this to fall into place. Even then it would not have worked out except for a certain booster stepping up to underwrite everything. And I mean everything.

I think Iowa will be most negatively impacted by this hire. They are already struggling on the recruiting side and now have another marquee coach talking to recruits.

As for PSU, the PSU-M2 axis was sweet while it lasted, but let's remember that there was success before M2, and there will be success with M2 after DT goes.

This may re-energize Cael, who has a highly competitive nature.

I don't see M2 shutting down.

I'm not sure Dake really wants to coach.

I'll be honest. I like the AWA pipeline a bit better...lol
