MattM Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Heck of a promotion for him. Kinda shocked they didn’t do a much larger coaching search, especially for a Big10 job. Hope it works out well. Angel has the name recognition and has coached at a few different programs, but it has also been unclear how much development his time at those programs have garnered. Hopefully, with full run of the program he can put together a solid staff that can help the Hoosiers make some solid gains. Plus, can still find a few more diamond in the ruff recruits that can help speed up the rebuilding phase.

aoberlin Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Dude has been pretty darn successful at everything he has done so far. I think he gets the job done. I am just glad they called me for his reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

base Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Certainly will bring an uplift to the "spirit" of IU Wrestling, which should translate to some good in-state recruiting! Now, have to give the new coach a few years to assemble his staff, bring in his recruits and hopefully push IU up the Big10 standings cause it won't happen overnight Jayruss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 What are realistic expectations from IU and coach Escobedo foe the next few years? And then, what will the public expectations be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nk140 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I heard that at least one current IU wrestler is transferring. My info is straight from FloWresting podcast. It looks like said wrestler is not on the roster either. Edited April 6, 2018 by nk140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
