Green is the guy I would have gone after. NJ kid, Lots of world experience, well known on recruiting trail. Seems like we are stuck with Jersey Joe. Don’t see Tanelli coming here but hope I am wrong.
Rutgers did have some interest. Not sure if Klinsky is one of Riders official coaches or not but Rutgers was looking into getting him in some RTC role.
We had our SKWC board meeting last night and not to sound like Rutgers Al but what is apparent to me is that SKWC needs all of our help to fund and attract RTC wrestling coaches like Sasso and Elam and others to make team wrestlers better. There are 3 ways we all can contribute through NIL, pin pool and the golf outing. We used to get over $100 k from pin pool and that has dwindled down to 1/4 of that. We need a lightweight for Knox but that costs $ and only funded through SKWC. Any help you all can give is appreciated. Thank you and AA will be announced when all compliance is finished.
Do you think donations declining by 75% reflect a lack of confidence by fans in the program’s direction?
Bill. You always do your part.
The problem is that there is no Ashnault or Suriano to generate excitement around the program. A four-time AA and national champ and a three-time finalist and two-time national champ. Hopefully, Knox can generate a buzz on the mat.
I do... I used to do the NIL donations and had season tickets, but stopped both.
Who's the "our"? Barely six figures in a seven-plus figure environment is like not selling enough Girl Scout cookies.
Well, we have 3 year starter at Rider Joe Pollard. So, there's that.
Our Associate Head Coach Anthony Ashnault is a 4 time AA and a National Champ.
I think he’s looking more into the high school scene than college for now but heard this morning that Jimmy Lawson is looking to get into coaching
Cesar Alvan was hired as an assistant coach at Columbia, Seabass is no longer listed as an assistant coach.
Seabass is now full time at NYRTC, still associated with the program, but concentrating more on his freestyle career vs coaching exclusively.
The way he wrestled made me think he never wanted to leave Nebraska, but Minto going up forced it.
That def played a part, Minto was the younger more hungrier wrestler. Woulda thought Pinto, being a previous R12er and reuniting with his ex-teammate, Labriola, woulda jumped a lvl w something to prove and another year of exp. That woulda made too much sense.
RU wrestling conducted its golf outing today at Forsgate CC and it was a huge success. Our AD made a very nice talk about her and Tate’s commitment to the program in every way. I had a nice talk with Anthony Ashnault who played with me for 6 holes or so along with his dad who played 18 with me. AA said that Knox and Brandt are better than he was as a freshman which was nice to hear. Ford told me he is going to 174 and weighs 181 now. Peanut is 245 and Barbosa is 171. SCW looks great and told me he is going 184 again. Kids all looked great and pretty much all of them showed up to work the outing.
