    Taylor

    I agree with you Royalclone. By giving the AD a choice, they are putting them into a lose-lose situation. If they don't release the wrestler, then the wrestling community typically bashes them for not being lenient on the wrestler and it can hurt the recruiting efforts of the next coach. But...

    Taylor

    Losing Taylor was a serious blow due to him being the #1 ranked recruit. Weatherman is a great wrestler and was a nice save due to 2 of his family still in high school that should be solid recruits. It sounds like Beard has the potential to do well, also. Since, almost all of the blue...

    Taylor

    They are projecting Taylor a weight above where the Alton twins are expected to be. PSU is going to be stacked in a couple years. Altons', Taylor, Ed Ruth, M. Peppleman (sp?), Q. Wright. That's a ton of talent. Hopefully, Cael can help them underachieve. :-)

    Taylor

    That is a bummer. But, I would have been much more disappointed if he ended up at Oky State.

    Two Wrestling Recruits Sticking with ISU

    David Taylor was a huge blow to the recruiting class. Many ranking publications had him as the #1 or #2 recruit overall this year. Plus, he is supposed to be a terrific student and interviewed very well on wrestling411. I'm hoping he doesn't end up at Oklahoma State. Intermat.com had the...

    Nate Gallick coming back to ISU

    I believe there has been enough information quoted lately to be optimistic about a Regional training center being considered in Ames. Jackson mentioned it in the press conference and in his interviews on wrestling411, and then the article where Gallick mentions a full time freestyle coach...

    Nate Gallick coming back to ISU

    I believe if the Paulson's came back it would be in a similar role to Nate Gallick. Both are very active in competition and their main focus would probably be on training. KJ will need some full time assistants that can help focus on administration, recruiting, practices, etc. on a full time...

    Nate Gallick coming back to ISU

    This link was posted on themat. Chattanooga Times Free Press | UTC’s Bono loses assistant Gallick Great to see another of our former wrestlers coming back and I found it interesting that USA Wrestling is helping to fund the regional training center with a full time head coach. Also...

    bummer, david taylor granted his release....

    I saw that. I'm not a big fan of the curtain, but I don't like the idea of having 10,000 Hawk fans in Hilton either. As much as I hate it, I guess it was inevitable that we were going to lose Taylor. Next year better be a great season, because if we lose more of the top recruits, then it...

    Defection thread.

    I got the impression from Coach Jackson's interview on Wrestling 411 that Taylor probably won't be coming. Hope I'm wrong.

    Murphy and Andy - Kevin Jackson new head wrestling coach

    Congratulation to Coach Jackson. Excellent choice as coach. I was happy that at least 3 solid candidates that were former Cyclones were considered. Hopefully, our current wrestlers and recruits agree. Cael is a tough act to follow, but I believe Jackson can continue ISU's success.
