Not sure about Hofstra's scholarship situation, but I know they have a very small roster limit and academic standards there are tough. Not making excuses for either school. But I don't think either situation is a 'breeze' to win with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feet2back Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think Sacred Heart has only 2 Scholarships and have possibly biggest D1 Team in D1 ..50+ on D1 roster Heard Hofstra was a fully funded Program ( 9.9 ) ...30 on roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerlock3 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 https://cornellbigred.com/sports/2009/9/11/WREST_0911090632 intersesting to look at the path of cornell under koll, he inherited good team (10th), got 17th, then spent about 9 years without breaking the top 30....I just wonder how long it takes to build, what changed....

Yes. NC State seems to have a lock on Danbury (3 starters). And the ponagannsett program seems to be doing a better job of recruiting talent than sacred heart does!

TNwrestling Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 UT-Chattanooga The perennial laughing stock of NCAA wrestling. Hasn't had a single AA since Cody Cleveland in 2009. Incapable of recruiting. Even less capable of molding wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s Camacho, Jack, Kovacs. Although Danbury seems to be wayyyy down after the retirement of their legendary coach a couple years back. Actually begged out of a dual meet they were going to lose last year. “Too many guys bunged up…” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact the head coach of the Ponaganset program is none other than the infamous Pat Mineos brother, wrestled at Maryland but I think injuries derailed his career also has long time Brown head coach Dave Amato on the staff Edited November 23, 2023 by Antitroll2828 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantry Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Nobody is going to make waves at Sacred Heart, glad they have a program and the huge roster but they don't have the schollies or any real way to attract top flight talent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Amato is a good dude and is currently involved in recruiting that tops anything he did at Brown. Staff is doing a fantastic job and they have some legit studs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have put a few other into D1 from looking at there website including a few that went to Sacred Heart.
