Questions for Dresser at Tailgate Tour

[jcordova8]

hello my friends, I am hitting the road tomorrow with the CF fam and talking to Dresser.

Wanted to see what kind of things you are looking for from me and what burning questions you all have

 

[acoustimac]

Pretty general...how does he see his roster for next year filling out? Are there any gaps he feels he needs to fill? Any potential surprises?

 

[buf87]

Recruiting priorities for Junior class (what weights?)
Anything interesting in transfer portal?
157-165 - Is Carr 157 & Straw 165?
Any senior level guys potentially coming in?

 

[buf87]

What are the guys concentrating on this summer? Getting stronger?
Anyone wrestling anymore freestyle this summer?

C-RTC questions:

Has fundraising grown from last year?
When are they expecting the next senior wrestler to join?
Are they exploring the possibility of adding women?
What is the vision in 5 years? 10 years?

When will Cael & PSU be visiting Hilton?

When will Cael & PSU be visiting Hilton?

And when does he hope to bring the NCAA championships back to Wells Fargo?

Who are some young guys that are impressing the staff so far (other than Carr, Shapiro)?
How is Aden Reeve's recovery from the ACL surgery coming along, and when can we expect to see him on the mat?
How has the off season training been, and who's "light" is turning on?

Ask him about his opinion on Beauty and the Beast meets. I love them, but I could see it being difficult for the coaches to communicate with the wrestlers, particularly when gymnastic floor routine music is playing loudly. However, they are a blast, especially when teams in both sports are ranked. Constant energy. And it is fun to watch the polite-clapping gymnastics grandmas react to the foul-mouthed wrestling grandmas!

I’m going to save any major CRTC questions for when the tours done. I’m working on a bigger story where him and I actually sit down and talk strictly all things CRTC.

The down position seemed to be a liability for certain wrestlers - how can they turn that liability into an opportunity

 

[JM4CY]

Any ticket sales ideas for next year like the 10K for Mizzou last year?

 

[cloneraslin]

Miss J,

1. Are all the HS recruits on pace to be in Ames this fall. (Rumblings 1 recruit has some classroom work yet to do)

2. Can we expect any transfers coming in this year??

How is Gomez doing? He had a disappointing tournament. And how is the Russian doing? Neither of them wrestled in the freestyle tournament. So didn't know if they were injured?
