I believe they will have practice that morning.

In a tent

Then he should have committed already

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Did I mention I think you are wrong.

It's called leverage. Anything less than a full ride from a school and you play one program against others. That's if $$$ is the deciding factor.

Make your dream school aware of the competition. Pretty simple concept.

Thank you Mitch. You nailed it. I never once suggested that the kid or the parents never put thought into the decision as Spooner would suggest. But the heart wants to go where the heart wants to go.

But sometimes where the heart wants to go already has the best high school wrestler of all time at your weight.

And that's why Dresser hired Metcalf.

 

[Mpchillin]

Metcalf isn't allowed to recruit, correct?

 

[edquinn06]

Think it was a paid camp. St. John was there also

 

[slicone]

he can recruit

 

[Mpchillin]

he can recruit

Officially or unofficially? Is his role different than Perry's? I was under the impression that Perry wasn't allowed to officially recruit for Iowa.

Metcalf is the volunteer coach at Iowa State and actually on the staff. This is different than Perry as Metcalf is allowed to travel with the team and sit in the corner for the athletes. Perry is only associated with the HWC.

Metcalf is not allowed to recruit on the road. As noted this is a paid camp/clinic.

 

[AFHawk86]

It is impossible to keep staff from recruiting in the loosest sense of the word.

Thanks, was just wondering as to how the two roles were different.

How did Metcalf drill and take the pic at the same time?

I hate to say it, but that is just one of many reasons why Dresser hired Metcalf. :-(

He's just that good.

 

[edquinn06]

Looks like Sasso and Jordan took there official visits to tOSU yesterday.

 

[edquinn06]

I have a hard time believing that tOSU will land Sasso, Jordan, & Carr but you never know.

 

[buf87]

Ohio State also have Mattox committed at same weight as Carr & Jordan

 

[edquinn06]

Ohio State also have Maddox committed at same weight as Carr & Jordan

Plus they have Hoffman and Heinselman already committed in that class. Sasso would be 49, Carr 57, Maddox 65, Jordan 74. Would be pretty impressive if they could pull off that class.

I just threw up a little.

I just threw up a little.

Ditto. Wish Brent was in Iowa City.

 

[edquinn06]

if it's between Perry and Metcalf, I'll take Perry, but I would prefer both.

Perry is a breath of fresh air.

 

[edquinn06]

Metcalf will be back. He's making $ at ISU for a few years and then I feel he will make another run at 2020 training in IC.

 

[anon_0pi0cv8t1ggvb]

I really doubt that. He's making better money as a coach. He's already past his prime for competition and that won't change in 3 years. Our recent U.S. freestyle team is a good example of how wrestling is more of a young man's game than ever before.

 

[Jaybird319]

Bingo!! Life moves on

 

[IAChief32]

I'll just say, once more, that M* is a worker. I like our guys.

So if he is the volunteer coach at ISU, who is paying him $$$? Thought one of the reasons he left was alot of money? In the same light, can Perry be hired as a coach for a camp/clinic, wouldn't see why not?

Not if one can recruit and one can't.

He's also the head coach of their freestyle club...he's getting paid out of that pit of money.

Over $200K from the CRTC.

If it is between M* and Metcalf, it is Brent all day, every day.

Why? What has Meltcalf done to merit that choice?

That would mean Kaleb Romero would have to go 184 which is hardly ideal imo. Sure it looks good on paper but not sure how they could afford all those kids money wise.

After a his RS and a year at 74 that's what I fully expect when Martain graduates. If there is one team that doesn't have a problem getting kids bodies fully ready to move up a weight it's tOSU.

As a college or international wrestler? Yes. As a possible name kids are attracted to? Sure. As the guy who is out beating the bushes, connecting with kids, engaging personality, etc., etc.? I'm not sure the last one falls in Brent's favor. I think he is TNT with much less personality. It's not a knock on him. Not all guys are built to be the front line recruiting (sales) and others are. I see Brent as more of an account manager type. Once the kids in the room I'm sure he will be good with them, but I don't see him winning a ton of recruiting battles. The next few years can prove me wrong.
