Big news coming
- Thread starter buf87
- Start date
That's the right way to do it. Give them a chance to make it on their own terms if they want to.
Does his recruitment say anything about how worried they are about Harrington's status moving forward? Just wondering?
Don't think so. What it says is we are thin at 97 and kinda short at 84. Sounds like he will start at 184. If he redshirts, Downey will be gone.
I'm not an expert on weight cutting, but he looks shorter than Weatherspoon, and quite a bit thicker. I thought it might be a stretch to get him to 184. That's why I asked.
I love the 197lb class and we've had excellent guys recently with Varner and Gadson. I was stoked when Harrington committed and even if Colbray comes in starting at 84 he will eventually be the guy at 97. This is a great class and I'm hoping this recruiting trend will stay consistent and put us back into the top ten where we should be.
This is definitely an exciting step forward, and I do like some of the talent we are acquiring. I'd love to see this year's team show it too.
Downey is only a Sophomore so he could still be here after Colbray RS. Back in the Top 10 is not the goal as we should be there in the second semester if we have everyone in the lineup. These are the type of classes that should put us back in title contention in the future. Also, the staff strategy early on was to get bodies in the room as the numbers were so low. Now they are switching to trying to obtain the elite wrestlers. This years class also was greatly enhanced by getting some kids with great academic backgrounds otherwise they couldn't afford to get all of these guys. Besides Gomez there probably will only be 1-2 other main targets in 2017. O'Connor (149) and Coleman (174/184) are probably at the top of the list and make a lot of sense. O'Commor is real close with Gomez and obviously Coleman is a hometown favorite. Good time to be a Clone wrestling fan.
I hope you're right. Those would be a couple of big time pickups to keep momentum going.
So we are thrilled about a top 10 recruiting class? Shouldn't that be a pretty minimal expectation of a coaching staff at ISU?
This is a great class and we should be thrilled. No need to lay on the negativity with the recruits that we got. It is alright to be happy and try and believe every now and then.
Future light weights are here with Boston, Simmons, Parker, Storr. Heavyweights are here with Colbray and Gremmel and also have Nolting and Silberstein as heavys.
Solidify 157 to 184 now and it starts with Trey Meyer. Hope to add Marcus Coleman and Austin OConnor next year
