What happened to ISU in 2018?

[Wrestleknownothing]

Playing around with the placement data and I noticed that while ISU averaged more than 7 national qualifiers per year from 2014 - 2025, they had only 1 in 2018 (Jarrett Degen went 3-2, scoring 3 team points). Followed by years of 9, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8 national qualifiers.

What am I missing? What happened in 2018?

Was that dressers first year? Usually new coach and culture comes with laying the hammer down

Marcus Coleman and Austin Gomez were still on redshirt. 
Kanen Storr and Jakob Allison were out with injuries

plus a semi-recent coaching change.

Kevin Jackson happened.  Program killer.  Even Michigan is starting to take a massive step backwards.
