Im not nick...but i pulled this from another forum.. This board seems very split up on keeping Tom around or not. This deserves its own thread The damage that has been caused is not repairable under this staff. Nationally we are becoming a joke at developing and it’s hurting us recruiting. Iowa and Penn state boards think it’s comical. The number one recruiting class ever tied for fifth place at ncaas( only bc steveson lost) with only one all American from that class, after being at the program for three years. Top overall recruit paddy 0-2, top 5 recruit kharchla 0-2, top 15 recruit Rotogotzke 0-2, Feldman got noticeably worst. Cannon got the best draw possible and didn’t place. So development is becoming a concern and people are taking notice. Tom Ryan inability to adapt. Has got zero transfer portal guys while every other major program has got handfuls. If you can’t keep up with the times then it’s time to go. On top of that you lose one of your best kids to a team that doesn’t even need him. Rocco’s decesion was not financial. Why would Penn state offer a huge amount of money to Welsh? Ryder may be just as good as him. Rocco doesn’t bonus anyone and his best win is Ed Ruth who he is 1-2 against. Why in any world would Penn state unload a stack of cash for him? Mcennelly is the guy you go after if anyone. I don’t see him losing again honestly. Tom is also getting a reputation as a crybaby. Every time something goes wrong or against them he immediately picks up the phone and gets the quickest interview to Flo. Transfer portal, nil, bad calls in matches, what originally happened with Rocco welsh. He has done interviews on all these things complaining about them. No other coach does that. Then he screamed at the Rutgers kid that he was a coward when he was clearly injured and defaulted out. Don’t get me started on how bad his brick throwing in matches has gotten either. Tom is becoming almost unhinged and a loose cannon. Well if Tom leaves how do you know we can get a better coach? Easy answer it is one of the best paying jobs in all of wrestling. Number four exactly. The top three jobs aren’t opening up anytime soon. A job like this only comes around once every 10 years. Snyder, Burroughs, Dake, Lee. If any of these guys ever wanted to get into coaching this would be the biggest payday they could get for the foreseeable future. While a guy like Schwab has done great I think you need a youth movement to really attract the recruits like David Taylor did. Not to mention Ohio state has a world class facility. So we have two choices put new life and energy into this program soon or let it slowly fizzle into a team that won’t be in the top 10 anymore. While our days of winning national titles are over with Ohio state can still be much more competitive with the right leadership. EDIT: Now theres rumors of Feldman leaving too.

its on the front page of flowrestling.com. id say its as official as its going to get.

They'll all end up at Iowa which was the original plan. Anthony is in the portal too. Now not pulling Angelo's redshirt seems all the more genius.

freedom of speech protects you from the government coming after you if you speak out against them...it doesnt mean you can say whatever you want whenever you want wherever you want you agreed to the terms and conditions of this site when you made your profile.

I'd have to imagine Shaw redshirts. He was at 60 and 52 most of the year and i doubt he steps in and beats Cannon.

so who does that even leave at 49 there now? it most definitely adds to the idea of mcneil to columbus. But if not him who? thats quite a hole.

As of now there are 14 kids from campbell in the portal...theyre barely hanging on

Andre Gonzales tOSU entered the portal.

Ghadialli to Michigan

Im not, and ill break down why yes the rulons had great grip but the unisole model made it harder, than the freeks split sole design, to push off your toes. Not saying its impossible, just that the design was there to make it easier. they breathe better than the rulons. third, they have an extra layer of padding around the ankle. rulons have NO ankle support other than the shoe goes above it. point freek fourth, and most importantly. aside from a couple extremely rare samples, there is no rulon 2. they tried to replicate it with the aggressors and the quality of the shoe, the soles specifically, took a HUGE hit. Every reiteration of the freek has not dropped in quality at all. the shoe is the same as it was when it was first released

I can already hear Kirk Cameron writing a script...

the fact you put HIPPA and not HIPAA, tells me you don't have any clue what you're talking about.

They aren't kids. Younger than you, maybe. But not children.

I stopped right here...first sentence. The only thing Tom ever talks about is loyalty. Kyle left Ohio State for Penn State. I have to imagine that bridge is burned.

Is there a rule in the air force that would say he couldn't?

Maybe he could go back home to Chattanooga. Lord knows that program could use all the help they can get.

the freeks are the single best wrestling shoe ever made...period.

Bryce Hepner from Ohio State has entered the portal.

Mendez going 41 and Cannon at 57 leaves a gaping hole at 149. We know Tom doesn't like to go to the portal. Is Maddux Shaw good enough to beat any of the other 4 kids already there? Does one of them step up? If so who?

Mendez looking like the only one of the 8 quarterfinalists at 41 who want to win. All 7 others are just working to not lose. EDIT: as i say that brock hardy opens it up and gets a pin on a tilt

it was his second stalling call

You can save a dying sport and be an insufferable narcissist at the same time. Both things can be true.

.

the irony is toms challenge earlier in the match cost cannon that match.
