 All right, Coach Pendleton Atlanta, Georgia. We're just talking about let's talk heat index It's not that bad. It's it's not that bad right now, but he teeth little sticky Can we agree that he teeth he teeth? Okay, because there's there's there's tempi heat better than the snow Okay, I'll give you that. I'll give you that. I hate the snow Okay, but like you talk about it. You're out there showing technique, right? You as I just having a lift to mm-hmm, okay? I You're crazy active. That's awesome. I was like, yeah, this guy's done rustling. He's not you're lifting you're out there trying to get your huge uh, we got some young guys that are I don't if I let it go They're gonna start kicking my butt and I'm not like losing to the heat cuz he won't talk about it for months and months and months So he's gonna shut up about it. You gotta stand your game. He doesn't shut up Really seems like a quiet kid. Yeah. No. No, all right Let's keep it up with the young bucks. Yeah, what was it like out there working out with the humidity June, Georgia humidity and heat What was it like? It's awesome. You know every time you get to come out here. It's a different feel I like getting a little hot and sweaty helps with knees and ankles get a little loosened up and the kids are just great They're actually out there just listening paying attention and soaking it all in As you're recruiting and you're looking for athletes student athletes Uh, you know, what would you say the main things are that you guys at Arizona State are looking for? You know, you come from the Oklahoma State system But you know, it's usually based off in those one in those two systems. It's usually really talented guys You know, I mean better athletes. Yeah, is that something where you guys are looking for these ultra athletes? What's the mold of a guy you're looking for? Is there a mold? Um, there's not really a mold it's um, Arizona State and Our number one thing is we're looking for kids that are looking to win World Olympic medals Even though we're an olympic sport that drains and competes in a non olympic sport style We still want those kids with those goals and aspirations I think when you look at our past our last couple years recruiting classes Everybody's heavily involved in freestyle and our year-round athletes on the student side, you know We're recruiting the student athletes. We're recruiting the kids that are going to have the right GPAs have the right lifestyle goals and You know, that's pretty much what we're looking for Looking at the camps the camp system when you guys do camps, you know And you go pride to do camps all over the country But this is very unique the c3 the compound college combine It's a different feel all together and you get to watch the student athletes You get to teach them technique You don't really interact with them too much as far as personal because there's rules or whatever But looking at how they run this is this something where this gives you an even better view of what the kids are like I guess, you know, one of the things that I love about this is it gives the kids a chance to be proactive in their recruiting Um, I think especially for there's different tiers of level, you know stars But however you want to do let's just use football an example There's four star three star two star athletes that when you're a two star athlete It's a little bit harder for coaches to find them, you know We're always looking for those diamond and a rough kind of kids where when they come to a camp like this and they actually are interactive Um, using my experience. I wasn't recruited very heavily at all But I went to the Oklahoma State camps and I remember, you know, as in john Hey, can I work with you after a session on the low single and then like, ah How about I get one of the counselors to help you out the counselor is mark mooneos But then I spent time with mark mooneos and then I got to know uh mark branch and pat smith And my senior year I was at the reno tournament of champions and I walked by john and he kind of like was like, hey Kid from camp How's your year going and we started talking and then I won the tournament and you know, boom Right away. I got a letter and a phone call from Oklahoma State So it's a good way to interact with a sort of recruits to interact with coaches. I think that um, it's definitely where wrestling's going to be shifting towards I think um You know the other sports like basketball and football these are these are the norm They do this a manning academy, you know Gatorade the nike elite for basketball I mean all the other sports are doing it. We're just getting caught up to them You know looking at coming from the central valley, which is a strong wrestling, you know, it's a good wrestling tradition There's no five nine or the 209 Nate Diaz. It's an actually Stockton california funny story. I want to hear it more used to be 209 my hometown Um, you know all these guys to get the 209 tattooed on the chest and when I was in high school They switched it to the five five nine really. Yeah, so yeah, so what they what they do they get infected I didn't ask because some of them were scary dudes I don't think I'd ask for some of those guys either in you and isaias from your high school I see attempt Martinez. Yep. No. Yeah, but you were the first one. I'm I'm from isaia martinez This hometown. No, you're both but you're both because I went to a champs, right? Sergeant mill kelly put it really. Yeah. He goes congratulations. You're from isaia's hometown now It's like Yes, being a below the radar guy in high school though, and then you get to come here Potentially give a kid an opportunity to prove themselves to you. What's that mean to you as a college coach? It means the world. I mean, you know, we're not You know, we're not trying to chase down NFL, you know professional careers Very few kids Are going to make that transition to the next level for international make the olympic team all that To give these kids an opportunity to get their degree and to compete at that next level and just to be a part of a good program tons Speaking of diamonds in the rough the sky the sky this 133 nadir right He's your 133. Is your 133 right now? I can't discuss perspective of student athletes. No, okay So it's a you guys got a team coming in next year Yes, we got 174 174 184. Let's talk about that Million dollar question. Where would see the valencia's drop? Where were they going to be? Can you discuss that? Um, I'm not going to discuss that right now because there's still a lot of things up in the air. Um Honestly the heat's number one thing is he's chasing down an iranian right now that Made him look a little silly and he's very determined to chase that guy down. How do you do that? Hmm, how do you do that? How do you chase a guy down? Yeah, how do you go? He's got to go right to him. Oh, no, he's gonna we're gonna find that guy in france Yeah, old championships.

He just moved in last week So he's getting settled into his apartment He went to la. He's gonna meet up with those guys at the world cup Um, I don't think he's gonna wrestle in the world cup. I believe he's not um, because you know graduating from an ivy league school like Cornell and Moving across country It's a lot for a young guy to take on and be able to compete at a high level So we're excited. We're excited, you know We had a great group of guys in the last quad that did some amazing things We're still waiting to see how that all shakes out I know ed's made the transition to mma and he's going to be a world champion someday in that Um, now we're getting the next group of guys in Anthony valencia This guy's a world beater.
