  1. Who would you have preferred replace Eslinger? Not saying he was coach of the year. But he was one of the best options there.
  2. They should have done whatever they had to do to keep Heath Eslinger. He did a phenomenal job there. He was able to identify, and get great results from, under the radar talent from kids from the south.
  3. Hard to say he didn't do better at Cal Poly than he did at Wisconsin. He was 22-1 and took 3rd his senior year at CALP, with his one loss coming in semifinals to defending champ Griffith (who he beat twice that year). He redshirted in 2021. In 2020 he was the 8 seed at the NCAAs with a record of 23-4. In 2019 he finished 4th with a record of 32-6. In 2018 he finished 3rd with a record of 30-7.
  4. Lot of variables here. In terms of building a program, hard to argue that Dresser is one of the best. Look what he did at VT. They were historically bad, really bad. He made them relevant. Same with ISU.
  5. I know Sacred Heart has a very limited scholarship fund. 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.
  6. I would imagine his main training partners are Reader & Bono.
  7. Side note from my original question regarding Bono's 'hot seat': Olejnik looked good. He's stingy. Hard to score on. Tricky in that whizzer position. Looks as if the transfer has paid off.
  8. Does the 'hot seat' on Bono get hotter after Hamiti's loss last night? I know it's just one loss for one wrestler. But it was an interesting result to me.
  9. Dom Thebeau? Or Adam? Adam is the older bro, and in his 3rd year (I think???). Dom is a true frosh I believe.
  10. No mention of what the loser does. Haines (also in All-Star Classic this year) could lose starting spot to MM.
  11. I heard from @Husker_Du on Basch-A-Mania podcast that Crookham/McGonagle had (or are having) a closed door wrestle off and the results are being kept pretty hush-hush.
  12. I found that interesting also. I figured they'd try to cut him down to 149 to make room for Steed at 157.
  13. Uh I don't think so. Thought he redshirted last year at Cal Bap? WrestleStat shows he already redshirted.
  14. Guess that puts him at 165. Unless PSU is sending a potential backup to the All-Star Classic?
  15. So we're all operating under the assumption that Haines is the guy for Penn State at 157 then? Does that mean Messenbrink is Olyshirt or going 165?
  16. They were hammers in HS. Seems like they've only progressed. Good for them and good for ISU.
  17. Both are big news to enter the portal. Just wanted to clarify.
  18. I doubt Cunningham would leave Penn State for UNC. Even if it means a HC job.
  19. Was college teammates, and good friends, with Angelo Silvestro in college. You are correct, Mr. Silvestro is a great dude. Whole family is good people.
  20. Not sure about the streak. But can confirm he was Blair's only AA this season.
