yea... what is it?You guys might be surprised at his first choice...
PSU is not even listed in his list of potential schools on the FLO article....
Hey! Ghost is right. I read the article and PSU wasn't mentioned.I just bought a new grill, can’t wait to try it out
I’m very happy with guys we already have. I’m okay with passing on these new flavors.Why does everyone automatically assume that there are 12 to 14 guys better than Gavin Teasdale or Brody Teske? Frankly, I think both of them are pretty darn good, and will be very good come March.
Id love to see him in B&W
Definite AA candidate
allows all Teske and GT to red shirt
Absolutely zero reasons to go there. No benefit.ISU would be a great landing spot.
Now, there's a sentence I thought I'd never see.Hey! Ghost is right. I read the article and PSU wasn't mentioned.
I am all for spamming (food reference, see what I did there?) Ghost when appropriate, but "facts is facts". Assuming there are facts on Flo....oh. ok.... sorry
He continued to appear in photos, even two days after the NCAA championships had ended, frozen in time for all to see on twitter, in a still shot posted by his coach.I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan recruited him while at nationals, and it's already a done deal to the Bucks.
Sorta like with McKenna last year. Supposedly looking around for the best fit while he was already working out in Columbus and appearing in team photos.
The mercenary isn't our style. Not what Cael does. And no, nay sayers, Kuhn and Keener were not anything like bringing in McKenna and Campbell, or bringing in DeSanto or Perry, or now Moisey and whoever else jumps on the tan gravy train. Cael and the staff identify them, they become part of the family, and the special qualities they have are then enhanced with coaching and philosophy. I like Gavin, Brody, and Roman. Lets roll with them.
Who had 3 yrs of eligibility remaining at the time.Um, Andrew Long
Boom.

Why not. The sport is evolving into this. 1-2 yr transfers to fill in holes. I would think the young lightweights would greatly benefit from immediate RS’s.

Long was also already very close to the coaches as he had wrestled for Cael,Cody, and Casey for his redshirt year and his RFR year in Ames. He was more like a transfer that followed his coaches.
It might be that Cael is looking at it from that perspective to be ready to roll with a lineup in 2019 that has some college redshirt mat experience.
Lets not be to hard on the coaches. If I was Zeke and had spent 3-4 years at a school that won few matches and had home crowds that all came in the same van.......AND had a chance to go to a winning team....wrestling in front of THOUSANDS... with great workout partners......I would be begging Ryan to let me go there. Same thing for Desanto and other wrestlers. I would be begging to go to Iowa, Penn State, Ohio State, Okie State and others schools. Wrestling in front of 100 fans or a packed house......such an easy choice and I don't blame anyone for making it happen
That's one way to look at it, but the 'haves' taking from teams that 'have nots' isn't going to grow wrestling. In the last 7 years only 9 different teams have occupied the the top-5 spots at nationals. If those same teams are now pilfering top wrestlers from the rest, how are the rest going to build a program?
If WVU, Stanford and the like are having trouble getting fan interest, I can't imagine losing AAs will put more butts in seats. The end result could be more teams closing up shop.
I don't know the answer, certainly you want freedom of movement the other way. Guys like Hammond, Dunmore and the Laws got their chance to wrestle. I just have concerns with the recent movement of AAs ... especially if certain coaches are tampering/recruiting from other schools.
