    Is 2024-25 the Peak for PSU?

    We're not seeing parity anytime soon, unless you mean 2nd thru 10th, which we already have. We might see an oligopoly soon.

    Is 2024-25 the Peak for PSU?

    Also father and son Fix. Speaking of that, Derek Fix is a Cowboy Wrestling Club coach. Does David overhaul the RTC staff too?

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    Probably starts with theft under $1000 decriminalized.

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    Zain's money is probably available after the Olympics too. So he can go become the multi-millionaire who funds Cael's successor someday. So Cael can sign Aaron and double Spencer's money.

    Gable Steveson saga

    Two things here that don't align with facts: 1. The Olympic Shirt allows a wrestler to not enroll for that year -- in fact, that's a feature. So the Ferrari vs Bearckaw comparison does not work in that aspect. 2. Ferrari was not taking the Olympic Shirt until he double-birded Soldier Salute...

    Gable Steveson saga

    It's not retroactive. It was activated the moment he didn't step on the scales at B10s, same as any other redshirt.

    Why "Social Media" is great....

    That's just the way it is.

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    Gibson is not still out there. And while some of those guys might leave PSU early, and David would have an inside track, that's not enough.

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    A lot of people are ignoring that Bearclaw is making a grad transfer for academic reasons. Him going to OKST is highly unlikely, before considering the roster fit.

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    Agreed, though one big difference is that PSU already had 3 future NCAA champs on the roster when Cael arrived. It's hard to ID a future finalist on OKST's current roster, with eligibility beyond 2025. Carroll maybe, depending on his weight. Spratley? Hughes? Merrill and Lockett aren't on...

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    2nd paragraph is way over-dramatic. Only 4 other candidates were interviewed, so at most they only "stepped over" 4 Smith alum to hire an outsider. Realistically only 1 -- Scott. And "permanently severed ties" ... permanently is a long time unless you're Montell Marion. There are ways to get...

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    The long term benefit would be developing his coaching skills. There might be some short term pipeline benefit, but starting now all of the youth wrestlers will be coached by somebody else. They might like David better, but enough to have a pipeline to some other part of the country, years...

    Is 2024-25 the Peak for PSU?

    If we want to meaaure the program by NCAA points or margin of victory, sure, 2024 or 2025 is likely the peak. Those records lasted for decades for a reason. But those are just fun for bragging. We didn't get an additional trophy for them. In terms of things that matter: we have had more...

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    LOL, just imagine the reaction if Spencer left Iowa to join David at OKST. The GIA dumpster fire could be seen from outer space.

    Gable Steveson saga

    Gonna have a lot fewer ancient college wrestlers anyway. The Covid career extension will be long over by the 2028 Olympic shirts. From a USA Wrestling perspective: if we want to continue winning world medals at every weight in sight, and have our 2nd and 3rd guys also be medalists in waiting...

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    Doubt Mark -- he got increased duties at Penn with Reina retiring, and the city seems to suit him. Maybe Cenzo? He wants to coach, has coached before, has the right personality, and is suddenly looking for work.

    Mike Evans is not impressed by this hire.

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    I'm not sure how true this is. Meaning: how many schools are willing to shell out "impressive amounts of compensation" for their wrestling coach? PSU - done OKST - done Iowa - yes, if they have any money left after offering $500k to every transfer in sight. Brands is 56, and they seem...

    David Taylor to Oklahoma State

    It makes sense only if Terry returns to coaching the RTC. Terry doesn't seem to have lost any fire. Tom will never fire his brother. That leaves the AD ... and if she's going to fire an assistant coach, she may as well go ahead and fire the head coach too.

    I can get you a meeting with David, but you have to enter the portal first. Wait, sorry, wrong school.
