I got Cleveland 45 Father Ryan 18. A few variables could move it up or down a few points. What weight is Eason going to be at 120-126? Do we have a HWT this week? No idea on those two questions.

I also believe that If Baylor’s lineup is at full strength, they will demolish everybody. If they have everybody at weight vs Bradley they can name their score

They will probably have some kids that are not down just yet. That will make the score better but it will still be a one sided affair. Baylor has definitely recruited some very good kids. I am curious to see what happens when they get Blair and Wyoming  Sem later in the season. Will they be competitive at that level because ultimately that is the measuring stick for programs that recruit for wrestling.

Wow that’s rude don’t you think? Don’t get me wrong I don’t always see eye to eye with Scott but I have put together and COACHED teams with him. You might not know him as a coach because he was traveling and coaching out of state something you should maybe think about trying. 

Been there, done that while you were still in middle school. When you get older and have a family of your own your priorities change. My child is not even in the sport and I'm only focused on building one program.

I'm not saying that he hasn't done anything for TN wrestling because he has done a lot, but coaching isn't part of it.

While Baylor is really good for Tennessee they are no where near the level of Blair Academy or Wyoming Seminary at the present time.  If they continue to recruit at the level they have been then you will see Baylor slowly close the gap.

With all respect.....I am not a wrestler, did not have a kid who wrestles, but love the sport and a big fan of this CoachT board and enjoy the banter. I have heard this topic surface on many occasions and have to laugh a little- I am sorry, but if you are a private school you have to recruit all students or else you do not have a school! I have been on the board of a private school and trust me, you have to recruit at ALL levels (Academically, Athletically, the Arts, etc....) or you can't fill the seats, or your teams! Often it is a great coach, or a very involved parent that helps to drive the effort and this is the mission of ALL private schools (academically, athletically, etc....)- and if you think your school is not "trying" to recruit, then you are mistaken....and if they are not trying to recruit, then that is a mistake of your coach and school, and that school may consider making a change in leadership.

So, the word "recruit" is used and OK to be used in the Private School DII setting, or else you would not have a school.....these schools are "recruiting" ALL students ALL YEAR long!

maybe that is your experience, that not from our end. Sorry to tell you that, but been involved with the school for 10+ years and no "recruiting" being done. So, just because you have seen it, does not make it the case for all.

I would agree 100% with what you are saying.  Those that say private school X does not recruit are the same ones that will debate the definition of recruiting.  When a school, public or private opens their doors to the public and host an open house/academic viewing they are recruiting.  Just a few years ago one D2AAA boarding school had two students on academic scholarship that were also nationally ranked in Cross Country.  Per the TSSAA rules they were not allowed run for their high school in regular season or post season school events.  However, they were permitted to run in the top level regional and national events.  The private school had recruited those two students for their academics not athletics.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
