On FRL today, they talked about how Mark Hall had strong coaching aspirations and wanted to complete college this year. He is one of the Penn State guys we actually have a small chance of pulling away from Cael. He used to train with Brent and his brother while at Davidson. We are one of a handful of schools that could offer him a 6-figure salary right away (combination of volunteer coach/club coach/CRTC athlete). He would have Carr and hopefully Facundo to train with. He would have an immediate impact on our middleweights: Carr, Coleman, Colbry, and Shapiro. He would be a big factor for recruits/transfers. Our RTC would then have 61kg-Gomez, 74kg-Carr, 79kg-Hall, 86kg Colbray, and 97kg Gadson. That is a very respectable group and would attract more senior-level guys to train in Ames (e.g. Cox, Martin, etc.). With all the fundraising by the CRTC, the staff needs to go big to jumpstart the recruiting.

Do you have inside info on this or just extremely hopeful? Don't get me wrong, I would sign up in a heart beat, but I just don't see him leaving PSU. Also not convinced Facundo is coming here.
