Does Leroy Vega get the Head Assistant position now that AJ Schopp is going to back to EDINBORO in PA? Who else can Purdue bring in to elevate the program? Brayton Lee? One of the Davidsons? Chad Red SR.?

Not surprising, guess we'll just keep hearing about all the kids moving to Center Grove, Crown Point, Browsnburg etc. Really great for the sport.

While at freestyle state this past weekend I heard the Malone family will be moving to Center Grove.

I feel for Coleman Scott, but you have to get yourself out of your own rut when you have an opportunity like like this. Another 15 years of classic Cowboy wrestling isn't winning any national titles. Taylor may flame out and suck as a head coach, (I don't think he will) but you have to take a big swing. For coaches, I heard it's Gillman and Jimmy Kennedy coming with him. Didn't know this, but Kennedy is his brother-in-law. He's looking for a heavyweight coach as well, and it'll probably be a big name. Recruiting could be nuts for Taylor. He obviously can't run M2 anymore, but the club will continue to run under someone he hires and he'll instantly have a pipeline to Pennsylvania talent. It'll be interesting if any Penn State guys follow him to OK State. Haines and Kasak were M2 guys. Now they can't just hop in the portal now and be eligible, but they both were looking at redshirt years so it's in the realm of possibility. And OK State can do some major damage this year yet on the national scene. Penn State still looms large as the heavy favorite, but OK State has a very good team put together for next year, and they seem to be the favorites to land Andrew Alirez and Wyatt Hendrickson from the portal. Their lineup could look like this going into the season. 125 - Troy Spratley, blood round finisher now getting Gillman to work with 133 - Cael Hughes, blue chip recruit coming off redshirt wrestling behind Fix 141 - Tagen Jamison/Jordan Williams, not sure if Williams can go down, but if Alirez does transfer in he's going 149. Both Jamison and Williams were national qualifiers 149 - Andrew Alirez, national champ as a possible transfer 157 - Teague Travis, round of 16 165 - Caleb Fish, transfer in round of 16 174 - Dean Hamiti, transfer in multiple time AA and national champion contender 184 - Dustin Plott, national runner-up now getting coached by DT 197 - Christian Carroll, no intro needed on this website 285 - Wyatt Hendrickson, two time third placer as a possible transfer Now two of those transfers have to happen, but if they do that lineup has potential to be awesome.

That's taking it too far, but there are definitely tiers to this game. Big Ten lower feeds Big Ten upper. Other lesser programs feed the lower Big Ten some too.
