Who cares if it's all PSU guys? They're the best program out there, and none of the others are close.

Just to add depth to this comment, PSU guys are in shape, tough, skilled, make you tired, wrestle in all three positions, are the best with collar ties and underhooks (which are working the best right now)...what exactly do you want from another program? Someone to teach elbow control? they just passed on the best guy for that.

I'm annoyed by PSU's success, just cause its not very exciting, but as long as they are outcoaching everyone as well as outrecruiting them how can you complain.

The really smart coaches wait until the 2nd half of practice when the studs are a little tired to jump in.   Helps keep the legacy going.  😎

Maybe I should have said “Taylor’s buddies” instead of “PSU guys.”  Gilman and Kennedy were only there for a couple years and so some may not necessarily call them “PSU guys”

I actually have a related opinion on PSU thats original, one of their key advantages is the cohesiveness of the staff. I think a lot of this is because they have enough money to go around, but I've never had even an intuition that the PSU backstage is as Jerry Springer show as most programs.

Agreed. All the coaches except Kennedy have been there at least thirteen years.  They all must jive with each other.

What programs are thought to have a “backstage that is Jerry Springer,” except maybe Iowa?

Fun fact: Taylor wrestled Kennedy's sister in 8th grade.  He was terrified of her because she had a mean headlock and was a girl.  Very scary for a prepubescent boy. Taylor won by fall.

Years later, he married the girl with the mean headlock.

OSU should hire her as Director of wrestling operations and then I’m sure she could get a lot of screen time on ESPN+

Iowa's problem isn't that its jerry springer show its that their staff is a monolith.

You want me to do a rundown of every conversation I've had with a college athlete/coach what they felt like divulging?

St Paris has a few in coaching Steibler at Ohio state , Brascetta at Maryland , Heil was coaching until this most recent Olympic run I think he ll be back in a D1 room sooner then later , NATO was on the duke staff until 2 years ago I know he has his own academy but good chance he jumps back In at some point  

Expand  

Stieber, Heil, and Nato did not attend SPG. You might be confusing some of these people with Jeff Jordan's club. I did not know about Brascetta at Maryland, though. Good call.

STEIBER is from Monroeville, OH. I'm not sure where STEIBLER is from though, I guess it could be St. Paris.

Yes but hopefully Taylor implements some of his own style and doesn’t just copy PSU.

Expand  

Why? Wouldn't it be smart to try to make it as close to PSU as possible? Don't re-invent the wheel. Just take what is proven to work and do that.

Here's a complete guess with no basis in reality, other than they grew up as really close friends/training partners: Logan Stieber to Oklahoma State.

(My guess is he is too tight with everyone at the other OSU, but would be very interesting!)

Expand  

Fun fact: David Taylor is Stiebers lone loss in high school as a freshman (DT was a soph).

Also, this isn't the "other OSU" but THE OSU. Don't believe it? Look at the .edu email addresses for all of the supposed "OSU" schools:

Oklahoma State: @okstate.edu

Oregon State: @oregonstate.edu

Ohio State: @osu.edu

I arrest my case.
