Lol

We go to the state championship . Only 1 Cham in Indiana , per weight. All are state champs. I guess if you have several champs at any weight class, then you go to states.

Some close matches

Good info. It boils down to getting people in the room. Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. Finding a coach that can do it, or is able to get an assistant who can sway the talent into your organization ,is key to the process.

I saw David Taylor in North Carolina at tje Scuffle. Tsirtsis at Midlands as a redshirt freshman. Live . Those were the days. I can go on. But besides the Big tournament. They were always in he best places to be every year. If you could make it.

Agreed, piss poor customer relations. The sport is only for wrestlers. Given.

And just think, last year at this time IU was just a basketball school! You never know, is right!

Seem like you have low expectations for Angels era as a coach. Attendance is not an indication of the program’s success quotient. See Chicago Cubs before 2016.

Both good observations and spot on. The attraction To IU,from in state elite ,has eluded the program for several years. I summised that it was a D. Goldman problem, but it has continued here in the Escobedo era so far. Angel needs to solve this to be able to be more than a bottom feeder in the conference. No two ways about it.

No one is advocating changing anything.

Angel is at a crossroads here, as I see it. He needs desperately ,to break through and get one or two on the NCAA podium, in the next year or two. He has elevated the room talent 3 fold ,over Duane’s last 5 years in charge, but he needs a couple of hammers desperately to keep the momentum going forward. We’ll see. I think he needs a good recruiter in the program to get the job done. His only weakness as I see it. But a major flaw.

Wow

Cool. Good wrestler teaching good wrestling. Nothing but positives here.

This topic, last time ,got someone banned for a short period of time. I see age mellows us all.
