Proof KJ needs to go
- Thread starter CyFanInChiLand
- Start date
and even with Trent Weatherman who barely won the wrestle off we were not going to be good at 149 because of lack of mat skills.
The reason that I received, through personal friends, was he wanted to give the Olympics another shot. That is why he wrestled in the midlands. Remember, he actually wrestled a an isu wrestler who he was coaching there instead of stepping down for team points in the match.
Judoka, is it possible for Meeks to go 41, goettel 49, destin 57, and Moreno 65. Would any of the other new guys or cash come back for 33? Looks like 74 and up is decent and if this set of bumps work we would have a good line, but still a hole at 33.
Forgot about him.
I do think we need a sc coach and a guy to beat on the lightweights on the mat. The practice partners just aren't there yet.
Bono wrestled at 2008 Midlands while coaching at Chattanooga.
He beat Cyler, 4-2 TB, in the finals (worth 4 team points).
ISU lost to Iowa by 3 team points.
Of course, ISU had 4 other finalists lose that night, too, each by 1 point:
125 - Tyler Clark lost to Brandon Precin (NW), 3-2
133 - Nick Fanthorpe lost to Dan Dennis (IA), 4-3
165 - Jon Reader lost to Ryan Morningstar (IA), 5-4 TB
197 - Jake Varner lost to Dallas Herbst (WI), 2-1
Crap, I am for sure getting senile. I was thinking he was at ISU, but I know cyler left with Cael so either that's it or it happened another time, but I'll take your word because I'm too lazy to look it up now.
I had to go check again, because Bono was listed as wrestling for the Chattanooga Takedown Club (or whatever their abbreviation stood for) at that tournament.
He was at Chattanooga from Fall '05 until Spring '09 (1 yr asst, 3 yrs head coach), then came back for one year under Jackson.
I never did understand that hire fully, might just be that he rubbed me the wrong way when I was in pt at the same time as him. I had the voelker hire explained to me and that was reasonable, but not bono.
That's such a huge thing that a lot of people aren't considering - Meeks, for example, will have Goettl and Finch to beat him up next year whether he redshirts or not, guys with a year of varsity experience and a trip to nationals under their belts. When Goettl and Finch were redshirting they had no one to give them that same treatment. The room was basically totally bereft of experience below 165 last year and it has showed. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a wrestling program that has been laid bare.
In the round of 16, which is where Gibson got knocked out, there were 8 seniors and 8 underclassmen. Therefore, Gibson was one of the top 8 non-seniors at heavyweight at nationals this year. Extrapolating from that information that he will likely start the season next year in the top 8 and a likely AA is not a leap of faith by any stretch of the imagination.
As you have been informed three times now, that doesn't factor in Dom Bradley's return from Olympic redshirt. Also, Gelogaev is a former AA was the top rated HWT this year and didn't participate at the NCAAs due to injury. That makes 8 returning AAs at HWT for next season. Chad Hanke from Oregon State is also coming off Olympic redshirt and will be rated ahead of Gibson coming into next season. Your prediction was that due to graduations Gibson would be top 6 when coming into the year he will not be rated any higher than 10th.
Here is a link to the preseason intermat rankings
Here is a link to the end of season rankings
Ryak basically matched pre-season expectations, Goettl wasn't ranked to start the season (wasn't expected to start even), Sorenson was on track to greatly top the preseason until his ankle sprain in the second round. When he wrestled Spangler lived up to expectations, Ward, Gadsen, and Simonson didn't see any significant mat time due to injuries. Gibson ended up ranked higher than the starter he replaced. Beard was only a few spots lower than Ward was in the preseason.
All in all, the injuries ruined things but our actual performances on the mat were better than preseason expectations. That is why people follow the program are advocating changes and fixes rather than dumping everything and trying to start over.
