StewartWho’s Iowa going after in this class to take over for Caliendo?
I said this in a post months ago. Not sure they can get anyone to go coach the U15 or U17 USA team this past summer but hopefully they go hard after a bunch of those kids. I could name a bunch that hopefully they go after.I've asked this question before and never really got a answer from anyone.
Why does Iowa not have someone with ties to the program or a coach on the U15 and U17 world team staffs? This seems like a no brainer to me. If it is because we are unable to get a spot on the staff, then, OK. But, if its because we have never tried or cared to be on the staff that needs to change.
I think our lack of an RTC, other than Spencer is going to hurt us with this new generation. Bo, Jax, Blaze make it clear that is important for what college they pick.I said this in a post months ago.

It is embarrassing that many programs inferior to us have a better rtc.I hope that doesn’t compute.
I’m not aware of the details but am guessing PSU has a strong rtc? Past that, I’m in the dark.It is embarrassing that many programs inferior to us have a better rtc.
Michigan also, have woods now. Taylor putting priority on this now also. I just started following freestyle more over the past year or two, but this seems to be a priority for some of the best young guys. They can always leave after college, but sounds like they prefer somewhere they can stay a decade or so.I’m not aware of the details but am guessing PSU has a strong rtc? Past that, I’m in the dark.
Well if they all come we will have one hell of an RTC and they will have plenty of practice partnersI hope that doesn’t compute.
Is that who you are hoping they are going after or is it happening?Stewart
A year or two? I suggest going back and watching videos of matches from years past. You have missed a ton of great wrestling worth watching againMichigan also, have woods now.

I'd have to believe its 285 based on his frame and FB projections. Didn't he wrestle 195 as a HS FR?Ross 197 or 285 in college?
No way he’s seeing 197 again. He’s tall alsoI'd have to believe its 285 based on his frame and FB projections. Didn't he wrestle 195 as a HS FR?
Ohio St. is the 2nd best recruiting team in the country and they have no RTCI think our lack of an RTC, other than Spencer is going to hurt us with this new generation. Bo, Jax, Blaze make it clear that is important for what college they pick.

Who are the coaches for these teams?
USA Wrestling sends 1 or 2 coaches and then the wrestlers can bring a personal coach I believe. For example for U15 Keegan Bassett and Mario Hutcherson brought Jody Strittmatter from Young Guns I think. Or Bill Bassett coached them. I believe Schwab coached his son for Greco U17 and Bassett coached Melvin Miller for U17.Who are the coaches for these teams?
Jden , Joe Russell and Zo were the coaches for USAW at U17I think Cox was only there for U20 team.
Yes Zo was there for Ignacio Villanasor as his personal coach. I don't believe J'den went to U17s because he was just hired and transitioning. USA Wrestling always sends 1-2 coaches and the wrestler is allowed to bring a personal coach.Jden , Joe Russell and Zo were the coaches for USAW at U17
Zo was actually with UsaW from what I heard.Yes Zo was there for Ignacio Villanasor as his personal coach. I don't believe J'den went to U17s because he was just hired and transitioning. USA Wrestling always sends 1-2 coaches and the wrestler is allowed to bring a personal coach.
So am I missing something or are none of these guys on college coaching staffs?Zo was actually with UsaW from what I heard.

You rarely ever see college coaches on the U15 or U17 USA World teams. U20 and U23 you see them with their guys who are already in college.So am I missing something or are none of these guys on college coaching staffs?
No college coaches. USA wrestling has designated coaches or coaches assigned to each age division. Then, each wrestler can bring his own personal coach to the event as well.So am I missing something or are none of these guys on college coaching staffs?

Yeah? All I know is, don’t smell his finger if offered.So basically that was an absolutely awful take.
Not surprised.
Probably just good enough he didn’t want to be a fall back plan or room guyGood wrestler. Not gonna get us back on top. Need to focus on high end talent.
I think he's an animal. He's a gym rat who will do nothin but improve. I do wonder if Hawks were on him.Probably just good enough he didn’t want to be a fall back plan or room guy
Who are we after at his projected weight?I think he's an animal. He's a gym rat who will do nothin but improve. I do wonder if Hawks were on him.
