LET'S TALK MEDIA DAY

Fact: Anderson didn't de-commit or flip... He had grade issues. I didn't think anyone was upset with the coaches when the kid didn't get into school for academic reasons. Are you suggesting the coaches should NOT have tried to bring him in? AE flipped but it happens to other top schools. Heck this guy named Suriano left Cael/PSU. To my knowledge PSU fan's aren't asking "what's problem and the plan to fix it". IF your going to go after the best recruits in the world your going to be disappointed when you don't land them. Heck, unless you're PSU I'd guess every program in the country has a problem.

It’s a problem because we aren’t landing any. Sure, every school has some that don’t land, but they also have some that do. ISU has not had any that have landed, outside of Carr. It’s a problem when all of your top recruits don’t make the team for whatever reason. If ISU was 1/3 or 2/4 I wouldn’t consider it a problem, but as of now it’s a goose egg.

It is definitely not a problem for every school. TOSU, ASU, Rutgers, Cornell, PSU, VT, OSU, Missouri, Northern Colorado, NC State, and Iowa all have landed a top 10 guy in 19 or 20.

ISU is being put recruited by the likes of Northern Colorado, Rutgers, Virginia Tech. Largely due to swings and misses with their top guys.

If ISU misses Facundo that will be 3 straight classes without a 5 star type recruit. Not good news when so many other schools are getting them.

Technically we went 2/6 OR 1/5 because Anderson didn't end up at any D1 school.

I know you don't like our 2020 class but the 2018 class had 4 Top 100 guys including Carr & Shapiro. (Before you say Carr shouldn't count, I know a lot of schools that tried hard to get him. Many on our own fans didn't think we were the front runners. And we didn't hire his Nate to the CRTC until after he was here. Nate is a valuable asset to the CRTC and those around the program or that really know wrestling understand this.)

Landing top100 kids hasn’t been the problem. If you think we’re recruiting at an acceptable level that is great. I just disagree.
