Wrestling Press Conference Scheduled for Tomorrow

[jcordova8]

Hey cool kids,

I just wanted to share that ISU has sent a media advisory that there will be an official press conference held tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Hilton Coliseum. I will be in attendance to bring you all the coverage.

The release was short and sweet but said "major announcements" to be shared.

Giddy up!

So gut feeling? Recruiting or coaching situation?

Definitely has to be the coaches details. No way they hold a press conference for recruiting when nothing is really happening that is that out of the ordinary for the portal!

All the above plus maybe women’s wrestling addition?!

Kind of feels like a head coach in waiting situation with all the Metcalf smoke we had a couple weeks ago.

I think the women’s wrestling with Dresser in charge is what it is. Seems to line up with the other rumors.

 

[DesertClone1]

Dresser as CEO or whatever you want to call it.
St. John will be women's coach
Metcalf will be men's coach

 

[BirdOfWar]

Dresser as CEO or whatever you want to call it.
St. John will be women's coach
Metcalf will be men's coach

St John as the womens coach? So does that mean that the mens team would be adding two assistant coaches to replace Metcalf and St John?

This is correct

I mean Alli St. Johns, i'm guessing here.

Ali St John

If this is the case, I wonder how roster construction would be handled (especially on the men’s side)? Does Dresser still have say, or does he give Metcalf final say and just fundraise/give him a budget?

Ali St John

Oh duh.....that makes more sense.

 

[BirdOfWar]

It would be awesome if the facility was moving forward now with two teams....but that might be asking a little much.

This is my "icing on the cake" hope...conference is winding down and Pollard ends with we are breaking ground !!! One can dream

And if both teams can use it.....maybe it has a chance. Did the athletic department have to pay money to the university for any space the gymnastics team was using?

Maybe we have a different high dollar donor that would step in to fund a facility that includes women. That’s my hope anyways

 

[4theheckofit]

Did the All Iowa Attack building get sold to someone else or did the university buy that?

**** wrestling. Let's think outside the bubble and expand to a new species of athlete.
