Re: WVU recruiting

My point exactly mscoach4. Some very good wrestlers get lost at Penn St. and Iowa. We can have a top ten program. Sanderson can’t get them all. I’d like to have that problem here. No reason not to. Is Rune wrestling 215? Not sure 197 is an option for him. Maybe an All-American heavyweight at WVU. Wh...

WVU recruiting

Is Rune Lawrence the first 4 time Pennsylvania state champ to land at WVU? I’ve said all along I think Tim Flynn can and has to recruit against C. Sanderson at Penn. St. to really move us forward. Flynn is slowly building a very nice program IMO.

Re: JV Wrestlers

This conversation comes up every year. I’ve always supported jv’s participating in the regionals. They do not have to score points. I get that that screws things up a bit, but what is more important, points or getting deserving kids a shot? My jr. year I wrestled behind a varsity undefeated wrestler...

Re: WVU's Upcoming Schedule

Has any wvu wrestler knocked off a #1 ranked wrestler at the coliseum? I can’t remember one but I’m not that detailed of a fan. I’ve attended about 80% of the meets since the late 70’s, just not that detailed. Could have happened, please help!

WVU vs Iowa State

WVU was totally competitive in this match. 13-13 going into the last 2 matches. Two years ago we were not there. We are now. Keep it going. Nice crowd but I want to see more!!! It was nice to see Nate Carr there. Class dude. Wishing him and his kid continued success.

Re: WVU vs Fairmont State

WVU’s schedule is tough as it is. Putting a young instate program like FSU and GSU is good for everyone. As for 50 years ago, fsc had a great program and lost it. I’m pulling for it to succeed. Like I said earlier, fsu’s attendance at this match was about equal to WVU. Also per history, maybe 50 yea...

Re: WVU vs Fairmont State

Keep in mind the last time wvu and fsu(formally fsc) wrestled , 1977, fsc kicked wvu’s butt. Local matches are great for fans and programs. I was at this match and fsu had about the same amount of fans that wvu had. Yes the 133 was not expected but that is why you wrestle. Sometimes someone just get...

I agree with aacoach61, a very close geographical area has many great wrestlers. We, for years, and many coaches, have not effectively recruited this area.

Re: 17 former WPIAL wrestlers qualify for NCAA

WV has good wrestlers. It's a numbers game. Pa has 49 qualifiers(elite wrestlers). I don't think WV has 49 wrestling division 1, much less varsity at the moment. I could be wrong, but if it's over 49, it's not by much.

Re: We having a season or not?

Not fair to kids as the situation currently stands. I could easily see an increase in injuries too. Also, coaches will be pulling out their hair!! Forget it this year. Either go all out or forget it for the year and all out is not a option. I'm saddened by whatever happens to this season.
