2018-19 lineup

Re: 2018-19 lineup

I would hope we would offer Reader if he would be an option. Seems a great fit and might be able to continue what he has already been a part of. At least I think he would be a strong candidate. Hope Sell just offered Bono a nice raise on a new 3 year contract.

I would love to have Reader first and foremost. However I have heard he is very loyal to Bono. The one thing we have in our favor is that Barry Alvarez is very cheap when it comes to assistant coaches at Wisconsin. Bono is going to get paid, but Reader might not. I would hope he would want to stay, but hard to hold them back.

If we lose both guys I say we go after Askren, he would be another compelling coach that would command recruits.

It is down to Bono, Hahn and Askren according to Askren on his podcast

Re: 2018-19 lineup

I hope I am wrong too. to Clarify, if this is not announced today, likely soon. The only wild card is Ben Askren, who is also a candidate for the Wisconsin job. Being a Wisconsin native, he has a lot of push from supporters for him to be head coach. To me the bigger issue is if we can keep Reader.

Truth there...ironically, I received my pledge for pins email just this afternoon. Money well spent!

Re: 2018-19 lineup

I REALLY hope you are wrong but...I feel it is inevitable eventually. If he is gone then he has done something incredible in his stint here.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

I live in Wisconsin, word on the street is that Bono is the next head coach at Wisconsin. Reader is unknown. Announcement likely coming later today as the job posting closed at 11:55AM. Not sure what that means for recruits/commits, etc.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

Yeah, the kicker here is he is adding muscle mass to his frame and will more than likely get to 6'5/6'6. Not out of the question that he would enter college at 315 and solid. He is slated to wrestle at the USA Folkstyle Nationals next week at the UNI-dome. While he has passion for wrestling I can see the benefits of football outweighing wrestling. Shame he couldn't do both.

He is going to get some really good offers in football I imagine. With his combination of size, strength and agility, it will be interesting where he ends up. I imagine if his goal is to play professionally, the payday for football would be considerably higher.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

Bono to WI is a possibility as would be any MI rumors that might get floated out there. I don't think Bono goes anywhere for now. He is on the verge of being a top 10 national program and the facility upgrades are right around the corner, along with the JWC. He and the other coaches realize how great the culture they've cultivated is...but again, money talks. I'm guessing Chris is poised to have another nice pay bump as well.

I'm sure they've already evaluated any recruit and athlete potential from the EMU travesty. They won out (or so they thought) last year with the Boise St debacle with Vough. It didn't pan out like anyone had hoped though.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

Nash was at 295 in the football season, so he had to cut 10 pounds to be able to make weight at 285. He's only a sophomore, he going to keep growing so him being too big to wrestle is a strong possibility.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

I thought he was a wrestling guy. But someone told me he's going to do football at the next level. I heard from that same source that he's dangerously close too being to huge to wrestle (and we know he's a beast in the weight room) perhaps someone else here could weigh-in(lol) cus I got the impression that he was a wrestling first kind of kid.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

Over on Bisonville they are saying Eastern Michigan has a HWT recruit that is highly ranked that SDSU may look at.

Also something we will have to deal with, with the success Bono is having, Wisconsin has a Head Coach opening (head coach retired) and Bono may be a target.

Yes, Austin Emerson. Not a top 100 recruit but was ranked #12 nationally this year in high school at HWT. No idea if he is a typical fat HS HWT or not though

I guess I just assumed he was going to wrestle in college. I have no insight one way or the other.

Re: 2018-19 lineup

Any South Dakota wrestlers on the radar besides Hutmacher in the next couple of years?
