NLWC Members going to the Olympics

A Hawkeye, a Buckeye, an ISU transfer, and a pretty girl that wrestled college in Canada are all wrestling on Penn States dime soon in Japan... that is just.. I don't even know what to say. Who would have ever thought that would happen?

Just think about the amount of money Iowa has saved by being mediocre for the last decade!

David Taylor was not an Iowa State transfer. He originally committed to ISU but changed his commitment (and was granted his release) when Cael took the PSU job. Taylor was never enrolled in ISU.
 
I’ve said it for the last 5+ yrs. Elite wrestlers want to train at what is now the center of USA wrestling. Maybe the center of global wrestling. It doesn’t matter what their alma mater is. The best continue to flock to HV! A third of the national freestyle team will train in the Lorenzo Center. Let that sink in... the PSU influence continues to grow. Nobody is doing what Cael and crew are doing at this level. They continue to expand their influence on the sport.
Center of US wrestling? I’ll give you that one. Center of global wrestling? Lmao come on. One of you guys need to throw that Jennifer Lawrence gif out there “yeah ok” lol. That would be somewhere in Russia or Dagestan. Sure as hell isn’t anywhere in this country.

The interviews of DT, Gilman, Snyder, and Maroulis after the trials are four of the best recruiting videos for PSU you could create. All gush about the environment, the coaches, the training partners. 4 champs at NCAAs, 4 champs at Olympic trials is gonna push our recruiting success into overdrive.
I had the same reaction. It is remarkable when star wrestlers coming to NLWC from other elite programs describe Cael & Co as "the best coaching staff in the country" and "just amazing." It sure lends credence to the view that there is something fundamentally different and next level about how things are done at PSU.

One thing is certain--the clamor to eliminate or hinder RTCs is likely to crescendo.
 
John Smith’s first order of business re: RTCs is to fire Daton’s father. Probably more productive than whining about funding disparities
It seemed so weird to me that Smith was calling the Gilman Colon semi on NBCSN while Daton was wrestling Vito.
