Programs that need a Coaching change

[feet2back]

There are a couple of Programs that need better leadership and would improve their Programs

1- Hofstra...The Pride were very good and The Program just keeps going backwards every season in a very good HS wrestling  area...Dennis P. had his shot and it didn't work out

2- Sacred Heart...Get a Coach that will have the capability to have his 50+ wrestlers in a wrestling room that has more then 1 mat..good school in Northeast and close to NJ, PA and NY...right now they have No clue how to get this Program going

A good place to start for Sacred Heart would be recruiting Danbury, CT and Ponaganset, RI  very hard and trying to establish a pipeline to the local talent.

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. 

[feet2back]

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

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!

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.

Was Kevin Jack the start of that pipeline?

To the best of my knowledge, yes. 
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…”

I actually spent a weekend in Danbury once as a young chap - the most memorable thing was the prison and the proximity to NYC.

Yes, their better guys seem to train at a club in NY

[Lunaticfringe]

Wisconsin is not good at all. Used car salesman Chris Bono needs to find a new lot. Way underachieving right now

[TexRef]

Does he have those zip up boots, polyester pants, and some Binaca spray?! And maybe a Mr T starter kit?

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

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.

You are correct sir. 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.

They did have an all-American under US Olympian Andy Seras. Pat Pop was assistant at one point, too. 

[Gantry]

Was it that Iranian Heavyweight?  He's the only guy from SH that I can remember...

I know of the Jack brothers and Camacho, but are there other CT or RI wrestlers that are doing well in D1?

They have put a few other into D1 from looking at there website including a few that went to Sacred Heart. Novacs (NCSt) is a Danbury kid also.
