Fair assessment here. And I agree. The status quo isn’t getting results to make a challenge to the middle of the BIG.

My same comments 2 years ago. Now I’m thinking like reformed poster. As I said I’m getting nervous it isn’t going to happen with the current staff. I have nothing but good things to say about Angel and all of their coaches. But maybe they don’t have what it takes to progress any further. And with the athletes director not in the know abut wrestling, we drag on and end up with a Goldman situation. I’m will to play out another season or to if I had an indication the team had a chance to hit middle pack in the Big Ten. But I don’t see it. Thus my original post.

Thanks for the feed back. Very interesting comment for a civil discussion.

While I am in no way suggesting that I have the answer, but I’m just drawing to a conclusion. As far as applying for the vacant position on the staff, I can’t see how that adds to the point of discussion. I’m not qualified to coach that team. And never insinuated as such. I have on the other hand referenced Fred Glass at the time AD, and Scott Dolson ,to members of the college wrestling community , that offered me in reference to the open position at the time, in help in finding a good coaching fit for Indiana. And I did that because with the correspondence with AD Glass, that he said he was not a wrestling guy, not knowledgeable in his words. They offered at no cost to IU , to help vet a new coach. In other words I have suggested helping in a way that I could. Hope this answers your concern about me.

While I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, the Indiana program seems to have gotten stagnant. I know the cupboard was bare when he started ,Angel got a few good recruits ,Rooks brothers , South and some immediate impact transfers ,but in the mean time has wiffed on top talent year after year. And I wish I could start this year talking about the rejuvenated lineup and how the Hoosiers will be in the mix for a mid conference finish, but I can’t. Other than all the guys on the squad are getting after it, unlike the last several years of the Goldman era, I don’t see any progress to move up in talent. I’m really beginning to question Fred Glass’s hire. At the time just a change of coaches, from Dwayne’s group was a coup. But now it getting scary , that the program maybe falling back into the old catch 22, after the initial excitement of getting the change of a new coach. Am I reading this right or is this year going to be different? I’m not as close to the program as some on this forum ,but I’m not feeling it. I propose a coaching change, this time ,reach out nationally ,with outside the Indiana athletic program, for help in the vetting for a good fit.

Off subject, but Palmer was chiseled, small hips. A vice grip. Now days with the training opportunities no telling where or what his limits would be.
-
And how often does that ever happen at a major university? It happens but not often.
-
So I guess it’s unanimous who the GOAT is. Next subject.

A good indication of how efficient and thought worthy the IHSAA operates.

Man among boys.

Sheridan and Jackson, good for them.

Allred is another Indiana tough guy who has been quiet at Nebraska. He’s been behind an AA but I can see him being a contender at 197 next year.
-
Yes , good conversation here. It goes to show the stars have to align just right. There are more wrestlers that don’t get that championships than do. And why it remains special, as does AAing.
-
And I may add , he’s following his brother.
-
Nice to see different conferences recruiting Indiana men. WVU, well the lay of the land is a little different out there in Morgantown, than Brownsburg. He’ll come back with one leg longer that the other.

Jesse Medez true Freshman or red shirt freshman
Disco replied to Wrestlingfan937's topic in Past Discussions
Sure thing, I’m in favor of letting the freshman get their feet wet first, in both competition and in college life. College life can be enough on its own, without the demands of a full college Athletic schedule. -
Jesse Medez true Freshman or red shirt freshman
Disco replied to Wrestlingfan937's topic in Past Discussions
So after further review, the entire Ohio State freshman class is supposed to be shirted. Hopefully everyone involved agrees with the plan. -
Hmmmm…..kind of sorta like Superman was Clark Kent

Hope so

Or macho man Randy

I and many others don’t believe you. Are you sure? You know how to ruin a persons day. Wait is this April 1?
-
Paris,Ok yes he seemed hesitant. Not in a good way this year. The heavy’s next year are a pickem weight class. Hope he fully heals.
-
Yes I forgot Zeke he will be a hammer. Paris yes Paris,needs a little fine tuning with take down arsenal and he’s on top of the pack. Davison surprised me this year. Is in the mix for sure. And “Minnesota “ Lee! Hopefully gets back 100% and continues on his climb to the top.

I also like the college events. Big tens are a condensed NCAA event, as most of the elites in the country are enrolled in the conference. But the whole Indiana high school tournament is my favorite time of the year.

Do we move onto Garcia, Mendez!
