  1. They are wrestling tough - were some tough losses, but also several kids with wins against previous losses in the season.  I had multiple people come up to me and say - Purdue is looking great!  We need to keep the momentum rolling - had to be one of the very top teams in wrestling to or above seeds.  I believe all the qualifiers ahead of Penola when he took the mat is what propelled him to victory too!  (Other than just being a hard-nosed wrestler)!  Nobody wants to be left home, and TFM - he will be there next year too!  Also kuddos to Nate Limmex for stepping up and giving it a shot - class act - to bad he had to go out that way.  But it just shows - this group of kids do it as a team - no show-offs, hotshots, - just bunch of kids grinding!!  Now off to the BANK!!

    Purdue has always had guys ranked and been a perennial top 20-25 team ranking due to wrestling in the Big Ten. But last AA was in 2013, with some tough losses in round-of-12 since then.

    "Ersland has not even had time yet to complete a 4 year cycle"? This is year 5, hired in year 2014. His stalwarts were previously recruited guys except for Lydy, who was always a Purdue lean.... Your 4* 157lb face of the recruiting class was pinned 5 times last year, and you are about to lose grip on Indiana's best with Angel at IU, etc.....It's time for results..

    I believe he came into head coach position late 2014 - so his full recruiting class was class of 2015 which would have wrestled in 2016.  Assuming redshirts - his first FULL year of recruiting would be RSSophs right now.

  3. Purdue wrestling is going in the right direction,  another top 20 Dual Ranking, and wrestling a tough schedule with CK in Vegas, South Beach Duals, and obviously the rigors of the BIG10 Schedule.  FLO has Purdue kids Ranked at 125, 141, 157, 174, 197, (and would be HWT).  That would be 6 (depending on the outcome of Streck).  May not beat PSU, IOWA or OSU, but guessing will be pretty competitive with the remainder of the Big10,  Improved results, will improve recruiting - and it is a cycle - Ersland has not even had time yet to complete a 4 year cycle.  The kids coming in now - want to be there, and understand what it takes, and the momentum is definitely going upward. 

  4. Thinking they have a shot, if someone wants to get onboard with a program on the uptick and will surprise a lot of teams.  Great group of guys, and getter better by leaps and bounds!  Just knocked off ranked NC - and just moved up to number 22 in the coaches poll.  This is a VERY young squad - only losing 2 starters next year!  Building every year - with still some hammers sitting on the bench!

  5. Purdue will be going up next year - and year after that.  To give you an idea of the teams @ Big 10 that have graduating placers at the tournament - Purdue falls in the bottom portion (along with Indiana) - so they have a lot of room for upswing.  The teams next year once again appear to be Ohio and Penn State.  Other than Ohio & Penn - Purdue has been pretty competitive with the teams graduating zero, and the teams graduating the most - will only make Purdue more competitive with next year,  Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska - will look completely different.  Be patient - tides changing.  Boiler up!

    Michigan                                           2

    Minnesota                                         2

    Illinois                                               4

    Iowa                                                  4

    Nebraska                                          5

  6. Iowa is the real deal - but so are Penn, & Okie State.  Minnesota lost to Okie by the exact same score Purdue lost to Iowa - so Purdue is not alone in there steps to rebuild.  The hiring of the two additional assistant coaches is going to go a long way in improving the Boilermakers.  They know exactly what it takes to be a National Champion - and sure they will be doing what it takes every day.  Their is still a lot of upside for most of the kids on the team - so I am sure you will see much improvement as the year goes on.  When you are Gillman, Clark, or Sorenson - the additional improvement at that level is going to be minor - so excited to see if there are gains come B10 tournament.

  7. All Purdue coaches nothing but class!  They are working on building a team from top to bottom that is the best they can possibly put on the mat.  If they can find someone better I am sure they will go after that kid first.  Is it possible that the kids feeling slighted are not the best kid they are going after, hence having a little anger toward the coaches?
