It depend on one's definition of "rebuild." The program was still on solid footing and it's national name was very good. We did well KJ's first year and had several titlists. Yes, we lost some guys but he's had 3 classes to restock the program with talent but instead of improving we keep getting worse. He hasn't parlayed that year 1 success into having a good wrestling program. We have fallen much further than we should have fallen.
You're so full of ****, your eyes must be brown.
He was hired AFTER the 2009-10 class had been signed. Taylor went with Cael. Macchiaroli went to ASU. Weatherman stayed. Beard stayed, left, and came back. He also lost Cyler (transfer) before 09-10, and Long (knucklehead) after 09-10.
The 2010-11 class is this year's true soph/RS frosh.
The 2011-12 class is this year's true frosh.
There were SIX juniors/seniors on the roster this year: Simonson (INJ), Ward (INJ), Spangler (INJ), Mayfield (INJ), Gibson (Juco) and Sorenson.
The 2012-13 class is still in high school.
That is called building from scratch.
