What about Taylor Walsh? Isn't he a Jersey guy? 

Or the Paulsboro coach! That guy knows how to win!

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Here's a map from 2019 of NCAA (but apparently not NAIA) teams.  It appears that blue signifies D1.  But I'm not seeing Minnesota which existed before 2019, unlike the new D3 team in Texas (Schreiner U.).   Still, the map's helpful.

Although the four hour drive between Cal. Poly: San Luis Obispo and Cal. Davis is comparatively small compared to many college wrestling road trips (especially at the D1 level), I agree that it's not a particularly small distance.  I looked on the map just now and am surprised to see how San Luis Obispo (where a Cal. Poly branch is that sponsors wrestling) is closer to Los Angeles than it is to San Francisco (which isn't that far from Cal. Davis... around 75 miles). 

This helps drive home in my mind the point that it would help Stanford U. wrestling, and for that matter San Francisco State and Oregon State if we could get more D1 teams to resurface or otherwise emerge in their region.  

  As a sidenote, I grew up thousands of miles away from California.   I did, however, work for a while in Los Angeles but I never roadtripped it far north of there (just south of there, as far as Tijuana).   But I have flown in to (and visited) San Francisco, albeit from back East.   

   Is there any chance we can boost the quantity of NCAA D1 wrestling programs in the northwestern USA?    Fortunately there's some quality NAIA wrestling up there.   I'd like to see the travel burden eased on the teams in that region.

Not every D1 head coach wrestled D1 . JB definitely has a list of every HC and where they wrestled. Imagine are a few didn't I know Ludwig at NIU went to Findlay

Manning wrestled DII at Nebraska Omaha.

Schreiner was not D3 in 2019, they were still a club team.

Good news for South Dakota State fans- and of course for Dubuque and Princeton 

Hahn is going to be linked to every job opening that comes up. Stressful for us Jackrabbits.

Does Hahn want to leave SDSU? I thought he was enjoying it.

I very much believe that he is enjoying it and is looking forward to reaping the benefits of what he has built at SDSU in his time there. He spent much of his previous years in a fundraiser role trying to finance the new wrestling facility. The new facility is built (its great, by the way - one of the best college facilities in the country) and now he can get back to spending his time focusing more on wrestling and less on financing, which he has stated that he is looking forward to. I hope that he makes SDSU his home and builds his legacy there!

That is great news! I like it when guys stay put for a while. Not like Minkel did at Michigan State lol.

Would love to see Hahn at RU at some point. Goodale has been great for the program, but seems like they might need someone else to get and keep them at that next level.
