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. 2 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

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” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

All the coaches except Kennedy have been there at least thirteen years. They all must jive with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

You might be confusing some of these people with Jeff Jordan's club. I did not know about Brascetta at Maryland, though. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winners Circle Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 16 hours ago, 1032004 said: Yes but hopefully Taylor implements some of his own style and doesn’t just copy PSU. 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.

pokemonster Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 13 hours ago, Interviewed_at_Weehawken said: 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!) 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
