I have not watched Bye wrestle but have heard good things about him. Vermillion's wrestling coach is his uncle, Hazen Bye.

filbert: if the cousin decides to sign with SDSU, and you make the obvious "bye! bye!" pun, you'll have to ban yourself.

I'm torn between posting a video of the McLaughlin Group, Mariah Carey's "Bye Bye", or N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" at this point.

But I don't want the young man to de-commit, so I shall forbear.

A real bummer for the teams that have a Bye on the schedule and come away with a loss!

That's a likely outcome, Mr. Bye was 46-0 last season. This guy can wrestle.

Re: Verbal Commit - Brett Bye

Bye is a great get. We had to wrestle Nebraska to get him, and came away with the win! Good job by the wrestling coaches.

Don't want to make a big deal out of it, but Coach Bono will be replacing both assistant coaches, and is in negotiations now but nothing decided yet as far as I know.

Re: Verbal Commit - Brett Bye

I watched Brett wrestle last year when he was at regions. He was a man among boys. All I could think was how great he would be at SDSU. I figured it would be hard with him being so good and from Vermillion. From what I saw, Brett is far stronger and quicker than anybody in his weight class in high school. In the region championship, he played with the kid for a period and a half before pinning him. The score was 12-3 at that point, and the only points scored against him were escapes he allowed. This is a huge get for SDSU.

Did the assistants move on or were there contracts 'not renewed'?

A good question and don't have an answer, but maybe Jack#1 Fan does. I would suspect they would have moved on to something better. Seems like Bono pretty much hand picked the best assistants available.

Re: Verbal Commit - Brett Bye

The fact that Bye turned down an offer from Nebraska (whose coach Mark Manning is a Vermillion native) speaks volumes to where Coach Bono could take our program. That's a wrestling rich community and heritage to pull talent from. I like the local and national "gets" we are getting - let's hope we can keep Bono!

I don't know if that's really the case. A guy from Vermillion I know mentioned Bye and he said he really wanted to go to Nebraska. Maybe the kid changed his mind. Can wrestlers get partial scholarships?

Yes. A Wrestling team at the DI level gets 9.9 scholarships and there are 10 weight brackets to fill per match, so a disparity between offers could very well exist.
