Coby doubling up!?!? I like it!
 
Last I heard Layne Malczewski was going to compete
Off topic, but will he be back next fall given he's a grad assistant? I think those roles are limited to one season, right? Sounds like he fit in really well with the upper weights.

This isn’t football. There’s no official “graduate assistant” position in D1 wrestling. No idea why ISU decided to designated him as a “coach” versus what other schools do—call them admin assistants or the like—but I’m sure there was a reason.
 
So is yonger hoping to compete for the USA in the future? I thought at one time he mentioned citizenship but haven’t really heard anything recently.

Yes, I know his intention was to stay in the US, train at the CRTC and hopefully represent the US in the Olympics when I talked to him about a year and a half ago. I hope that's still the case but I haven't heard anything recently. I know he also had an interest in MMA.

is younger leaving isu? he was at a cowboy rtc practice(s) this week
No. It’s not unusual for guys to go train in other rooms over the off-season. David Carr travels all over to train as an example. Cowboy RTC may have paid Yonger to come train with Wyatt to prepare him for the US Open
