Ayala seems to be the best fit. He's a national finalist-level guy who's still capable of training with their lightweights every day.

And other than Reineri, ISU does not have a lightweight on the coaching staff or RTC roster.

Sorry if old news - Basch saying James Green out in Lincoln?
That'll be nice to finally get out there!

Edit - I don't know if it's old news as much as old substantiated rumor that is now confirmed. Expecting to announce he'll join VT staff eventually (probably after Final X based on his announcement)

"Brace yourselves" over Ayala?

Brace yourself, @Matter7172 might indicate Rutgers isn't quite as bad as he says.

Brace yourself, @SlipperyPete might misspell word in a PBP, and the board will never be the same.

Brace yourself, @mcpat might order something other than a Whiteclaw.
"Brace yourselves" sounds like Iowa practice warmup instructions.

At the D1 level?

If not, Trev Alberts' victim at Nebraska-Omaha is a strong
Yeah, that was one ****** deal the coach got, not to mention the kids wrestling. Totally self centered and to think he won a Butkus Award.

Who do they've at the RTC to coach?
That's really demeaning to their athletes, whether intended as snark or that looking it up is too much bother.

Their athletes deserve the best available coaches, and Davis is better than several other RTC coaches. Good hire by Stutzman, and better yet that he's getting enough program support to enable such a hire.

Was wondering if they had any SR RTC guys
