Lawrence and Paulson are doing great things with Pinnacle. That is a class club that trains the elite. Maybe bring them a bit closer into the fold with the Gophers activities. Maybe they already are, but just making a point that the options are not bare in the Twin Cities. |

I think $100,000 is high. I would think $55-65k a year is closer to the number. A lot of programs have Director of Operations positions. These positions handle fundraising, scheduling, travel, alumni events etc..... (to answer that question) Right now I think a freestyle coach would need to come from the outside. If you look around Minnesota a lot of the "top" MN coaches have there hands in something else which is great but you need someone 100% devoted to the development of training college/senior level athletes to compete for world and Olympic titles. Example - Lehigh Valley Athletic Club. Pretty impressive how a smaller school can hold a pretty good club of athletes. Former Blair coach Jeff Buxton is there Head Coach. Example - Pennsylvania RTC. Brandon Slay was hired as president of operations and he alone is bringing in some of the top young talent that will be competing a few years out of college and have been through a olympic cycle and 2020 will be a lot of those athletes second training cycle. Slay has ties to PENN but he came back from the outside and seems to be doing a really good job with the RTC and they are working with the Beat the Streets initiative.

Ok so the obvious question is how do we get things moving in the right direction... in this forum we complain that the coaches are not getting the top recruits and this and that but as a Fan knowing there is more we can do gives me a push to find out a way to help develop the GWC to become one of the best in the nation and compete with those other clubs. who is the Director of Operations for the GWC? if this is the website then we have a lot of work to do... http://www.mnwrestlingclub.org/ Compare it to the others http://www.cliffkeenwrestlingclub.com/ CKWC http://www.nittanylionwrestlingclub.com/ NLWC http://www.hawkeyewrestlingclub.com/ HWC 3/4 of the links dont work on our website... no where near the same level of the others. if we want to sit here and complain about the coaches not recruiting I say we do what we can in order to attract the Top Level Recruits. now we need to know where to start. |

All you have to do is look at Minnesota's Junior and Schoolboy team, they have made some big steps in the last few years. Right around the time pinnacle came around. Coincidence? Edited by JackBurton, Nov 4 2016, 01:07 PM.

No- we need them to TRAIN in Minnesota, but fund the Mn Storm/ GWC to a much higher degree......Mn Storm has put more Greco athletes on the Senior National team and sent more Greco olympians than any other club, until very recently...all on the smallest budget.....that needs to change..and as far as USA Wrestling, helping at the higher level ? Not sure where that notion came from, but I don't believe it to be true. The stipend for being on National team (top 3) is very small....That also needs to change...

All respect to Greco and I love MN's presence in the Greco community, but most blue chip athletes are interested in Freestyle after their collegiate career. I fully support endorsing Greco still, but Freestyle is where we need a stronger presence. |

Is Webster still coming to the Gophers? If so, what is the earliest date we could see him? Huge talent and will only get better. |

Lesnar actually crossed my mind a few months back. I was thinking to myself, they need to use Lensar for recruiting purposes. Not that he has time for that but anything to help the program from Brock would be huge. |

It seems that now Brandon is the head coach he is a lot more active on social media. He posted a picture backstage with Brock a few weeks ago at Monday Night Raw when it was in town. That stuff can't hurt. |

Yes- that always seems to be the case- As far as Freestyle - I understand that's what the majority of college folkstyle wrestlers are going to compete in. So I agree that in order to recruit wrestlers to the Mn Gopher program, it would be very beneficial to have a strong program. |

Any chance ISU's flat performance gets Allar's wheels turning? Still time to come home. |

It wouldn't surprise me if they land a couple of them. Great staff and sounds like it has great atmosphere for duals |

Very true, and they have to have scholarship money around with Sykora, Cefolo, and Sanders bailing on them last year. |

Based on performance this past week/weekend, if you had to pick between SDSU and U of M, which one would you pick. It doesn't do the U of M any favors when they don't have their guys ready for tourneys. |

Anybody know Benick's intentions? Any plans to wrestle elsewhere? I think his stock has fallen but I am sure teams would still be interested. |
