Wrestling Coaching change

[cyhawkdmb]

Just got done golfing at the Cyclone Wrestling Club Golf outing at Council Bluffs Country Club.

Troy Nickerson has taken a head coaching job.

Maybe we can convince Cael to join staff... it is apparent he is on a downward spiral at Penn State so he is probably just going to be looking for a paycheck soon... smile:

 

[RossIAwrestle]

I just saw this. That's too bad. He's a good recruiter. I wish him well though

 

[CycloneDaddy]

How about Coach Bart who was an assistant at Wisconsin? He now lives in Iowa ...

 

[ketelmeister]

Varner will return in some capacity to I State after the Olympics. We will again dominate.

 

[BirdOfWar]

Thats too bad. Does anyone think we'll lose any current recruits because of this?

Who are some possible replacements?

 

[isuska]

Rodriguez-Spencer and Boston were probably head recruited by Nickerson. Not a good time for this kind of change. We are 4 months until practice starts.

Not sure if u are joking about this but I think if he would or did come back, that would be huge. I honestly think he could be a helluva recruiter.

How far back are you going when you say we once dominated?

 

[cyclone1306]

Varner will ill coach at PSU. Cael will never let him leave.

Right after BYU joins the Big 12.

That is 2.5 years away. There is NO way one could know that today.

Nickerson will be missed. Here's to finding a quality replacement.

 

[enisthemenace]

How long before Reader is coaching?

 

[2020cy]

Too bad, great guy and good luck to him.

Is Rodriguez-Spencer and Boston attending summer school? It's been said unlimited times, NEVER choose a school because of a coaching staff member. There are coaches (Smith, Manning, Davis, Robinson & etc) who's been around a long time but assistant coaches move around all the time.

A good AD is always one step ahead of the game. Jamie is a good AD. No reason not to think they have already visited about the "what ifs" in Jake's career. I don't know that, but as a businessman, that's what I would be doing.

I think Nathan Boston, Dante Rodriguez and Logan Breitenbach are in Ames. Not sure on Rodriguez-Spencer.

Also heard we might have a senior level wrestler joining CWC soon

please be a light weight

If the rumor is true, it is

 

[meluvwrestling]

Hopefully they are in Ames and transitioning to college life. If Troy was the primary guy recruiting these young men, it was probably a blow but hopefully they understand it's part of the collegiate lifestyle of coaches. Young adults adapt well and they'll be fine.
