Let’s be honest

Anyone need proof, see David Taylor's first year recruiting at Oklahoma State. Yes, a name can make a difference.
If Taylor had taken stars job instead of head coach at OSU, you would absolutely see an immediate difference in our level of recruiting.

Have you ever read about Brands first recruiting class?

Either is M* or big Bob so what's your point?

He’s the one who made the point. My point remains the same: why drool over a guy who’s achieved nothing as a D1 assistant? If he wrestled at Michigan we wouldn’t be having this conversation. That should be reason enough.

Hiring a guy because he was super nice and wrestled at Iowa is not a great strategy. One could argue that’s a big part the problem we have currently. Why propagate it?

You guys have Nick Lee now as an assistant, Cael is smart. Every young wrestler who is anyone in the USA knows who Nick Lee is.
Star, ehhh.....no.
We need to get with it.
We have Star and Telford, who no one really knew who they were in their prime, let alone now.
Talking nationally.
Yes, I'm aware they are great people and had great high school careers.
Nationally, not so much.
I'm going to get bashed for this, but it's just the truth.

The odd thing to me was people missing the point when others said the stall call was the difference. Without the stall Angelo tries to ride for another 7-8 seconds and get Carter RT under 1 minute and then cut him and it's a 1-1 match in the 3rd.

Is wrestling one knee and backing up stalling?

The best 184 lb does not wrestle. Lost to the four time champ on a BS call.

The best 174 lb lost tonight at 184 lb.

The 174 lb lost.

Makes sense if you don’t think about it.

Do you think Gabe beats Kennedy? I think it’s pretty close. Iowa is going to need a 197lber. Why not just beef up Angelo. He’s got the frame to easily do it but if you don’t then does 197 become a weight where you have to get a transfer? Anyone know any decent possibly 197 transfers?
Or are you counting on beefing up Ludington and starting him? Gonna be interesting.
